I still find it darkly funny that a bunch of people went β€œI’ll never take the COVID vaccine because Big Pharma” while pushing Ivermectin as an alternative, which doesn’t work on viruses and is made by Merck.

Hey just a friendly reminder that the @nytimes.com still collaborates with nazis and white supremacists in a pathetic effort to "both sides" how it delivers the news. Nobody should be reading it.

Hegseth and trump's vision of american history is more or less one where it's illegal to teach that a non-white person ever did anything good or that a white person ever did anything bad

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

The common joke is that, compared to the current madness, we long to go back to the Bush years. But that's when we first learned about Abu Ghraib and that water-boarding "actually isn't torture".
Perhaps the difference is predictable evil as opposed to unpredictable evil.

this is an absolute twenty alarm fire and I just cannot bring myself to believe capital, in one way or another, isn’t going to reel him in on this.

we can’t have a real economy without the goddamn labor numbers. it just doesn’t work.

Nothing but pure hatred for this and everyone single person associated with it. Utter blasphemy and disrespect just to appease brain dead mutants.

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

the real thing issue is that we have some groups of young men *claiming* to be driven right because of problems like male isolation when the right is not actually offering material solutions to those problems. what the right is offering is social and political power over women.

my brother if you are struggling to get laid in 2025 and you think you'd do better in a world where women are even more aggressively shamed for expressing their sexuality and also don't have access to birth control i don't know what to tell you.

Donald J. Trump is a pedophile and a sex trafficker and if you support him you're a pedophile and a sex trafficker too. There's no other way to see this.

I don't know how many people know this:

If you ever see a story coming out of the USA, about people getting in trouble with the law for feeding the homeless, many of those laws were in direct retaliation to the Black Panthers setting up food banks and community centers for children and the poor.

A snippet of the lyrics to "Gates Of Steel" by Devo.
"The ape regards his tail
He's stuck on it
Repeats until he fails
Half a goon and half a god"

Our country is not great because the ICE Assistant Chief Counsel is a white supremacist.
Our country is not great because no major media outlet will carry this story.
Our country is not great because more than anything else racism and racial purity is now our guiding principle.
Things are bad.

Why are so many Republicans pedophiles? Could it be that their whole worldview is based around domination and humiliation and that their sexual practices often derive from that impulse?
