this is literally never not accurate

😂😂

CHARLIE BROWN: The deal agreed upon today contains major concessions. Lucy, for example, has agreed to give me two attempts at kicking the football tomorrow. But to me? What matters most is that I can at last continue with my important work on the pitcher's mound

Trump: worst week of his term and never more vulnerable.

Dems: we have Trump on the ropes keep going.

Voters: The shutdown is Trumps fault, elect all Democrats.

Schumer: let’s surrender.

Senator AOC. Schumer needs to go. Years ago.

I genuinely can't get over them taking this course after watching Tuesday's results. They hate winning

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

The only option for Dems now to is to quickly change the narrative again away from shutdown and back to Epstein. With congress coming back Adelita Grijalva will be sworn in and the discharge petition for a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files must go forward.

🏳️ BREAKING: Democrats Surrender. Again Mehdi's Monday morning update on the senators voting to reopen the government without a guarantee on heathcare; the BBC rolling over for Donald Trump; and Kathy Hochul's clash with Zohran Mamdani.

"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?"

Me for Zeteo's First Draft this morning on the Democratic surrender in the Senate:

me: *hits the sack*

the sack: ow

A tiny little house with two windows on a busy street corner with the word PSYCHIC in large letters on the side and HUT on the front above the door. There is also a phone number: 832-944-2623.

this is where I post from if you even care

you jerk off. i nice guy off. we are not the same.

THIS is the energy we need

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

I love the smell of complete and utter Republican humiliation in the morning.

Had to share this from twitter just because

Turns out if you absolutely hollow out the consensus formation machine to protect your class' most miserable dipshits from facing any consequences for their actions then you cant actually just form the consensus anymore by putting in enough money to make it go

and it's a bummer and unfair that the police can just decide to refuse to follow the law, and that business associations etc will flood the zone with propaganda declaring any attempt at a better world a miserable failure

But you have to meet that shit head on and riposte. It can't be avoided.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social air this during the Dick Cheney CNN tribute

pretty awesome how we sacrificed our constitutional rights in exchange for more expensive healthcare and food

once again if you brought him back and told him what people were doing to his work J.R.R. Tolkien would buy a gun

There has never been a time when SNAP was withheld nationwide, but this shutdown will break the streak. The public has proof of genocide, pedo rings, foreign collusion, gaslighting, surveillance, urban occupation, police brutality, human trafficking, family separation, etc...and now mass starvation.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

The world is unrecognizable compared to 2019. COVID made us all sicker. We saw a genocide streamed in 4K. Social media is full of bots. Corporations are using AI to generate videos with fake people. Local businesses are shutting down. Elites are building concentration camps and cop cities.

From now on, when anyone asks how we’re going to pay for it, the answer should be we’ll take it out of the teargas budget.

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Three groan tubes in a staggered row. One is purple with green caps, one is pink with white caps. One is green with orange caps. They make a funny sound when you tip them.

that thing when your tummy makes this sound
