My favorite move in Pierce county is the sudden jerk to change lanes

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

my theory why tech bros have gone insane is that tech optimism was their fuel for awhile. that began to fade as the future was looking less utopian and was obviously always about getting infinite money. when the public began to turn on big tech, tech turned to reactionary ideology to fill the void

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here.

"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

i read a piece in the atlantic that went into detail about how local organizers helped people figure out and coordinate what they can do based on level of danger and time commitment and it really is a solid model

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

I know that I owe because the last rounds of these fuckfaces’ tax reforms basically screwed the economically mobile so I’m probably going to file an extension this year in hopes the nausea settles a bit by the time they come due.

the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now

Whenever I see posts from people warning not to watch videos of state sanctioned murders, see instructions on how to avoid the clips, I understand and sympathize with the reasons for it, but I keep thinking "pretty soon you may not have the choice to opt out of having to see the violence"

NBC's broadcast of the Macy's parade has superimposed the word "FOREIGNER" over the balloon of Mario.
