The civil service can not recover from this without legal and criminal consequences for Trump, Musk and Republican members of Congress who let it happen.

A couple “good” election cycles won’t cut it.

This is very funny. Wealthy and powerful ghouls think everyone got too comfortable over a century of reform and material abundance, and that we need to bring struggle back to...discipline the proles. But they don't realize that material comfort is precisely what deradicalized everyone!!

It's something to watch this happen when issue is question is "no longer supporting genocide"

this is the epitome of radical centrism: people are histrionic fools until you notice what they've been saying is true, at which point it's an issue they're best equipped to address

Siiiiiiiick.

The left: All people deserve to live with dignity. Centrists: idk sounds expensive.

The AI explosion means millions are paying more for electricity Across much of the eastern U.S., electricity bills have jumped. The reason? Data centers required for AI and other tech wonders are driving up electricity demand.

Cool cool

A good way to think about the housing crisis is landlords pocketing essentially all the consumer surplus the last 40 years

Here at UnitedHealthcare we noticed how everyone sort of thought it was good and cool that our CEO got murdered on the street. We’ve taken that lesson to heart and are happy to announce we’re going to double-down on doing all the obscenely shady shit you guys hate. Thanks

Ah fuck we got the Philip K Dick future 😞

Bobby Jenks made over 25 million dollars if you’re wondering what having a longterm health crisis does to everything else in addition to how terrible the health crisis is

“this is just what ICE’s budget is now and we’ll be yelled at if we try to reduce it” is an unacceptable answer for any Dem going forward and anyone who makes this argument should be primaried

we simply cannot allow this apparatus to entrench itself

Not only hurricane research but these satellites provide critical data to monitor sea ice in polar regions.

The Supreme Court's Birthright Citizenship Ruling Is a Five-Alarm Catastrophe In Trump v. CASA, the court hands the president yet more unaccountable authority—and yanks us into a neo-Confederate legal nightmare.

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

zohran is proof that to mobilize the left you have to have "dorkiest guy at the punk show" energy instead of "coolest guy at mock trial" energy

"Art of the ceasefire:

Makes me laugh so much that people can go through experiences like this and call it "supply and demand".

me and the boys going over the quarterly reports:

Really feel like the NYC mayor’s race shows that there is no such thing as a progressive establishment, and there is, in fact, an anti-progressive establishment that runs all the way from Murdoch to Clinton
