pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it.

F the patriarchy.

Donald Trump’s economy.

A few weeks ago I wrote about a 13 year old boy from Massachusetts who had been abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Virginia. I wrote about the trauma of a child being separated from his family and community, and I posed the question:

What are we doing here?

I have some updates.

Trump was at his golf club in Palm Beach when this was posted

A thread about what’s hot this holiday season:

It’s food.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

The court not having a proper comms office is just absolutely hilarious bc it transforms a situation like this into an absolute bloodbath of public wrath over a technical issue that could have been explained by some PR lackey

Now we know why he’s going to their game tomorrow.

Let's hear more from them about how people working two jobs but still need SNAP benefits are lazy.

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds.

Short-term legal win, long-term political loss.

all the way to the supreme court so they can starve kids

these fucking people

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

reminder David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel both went on the record to Politico to say they were fine with this, either knowing the result would be mass death of children or being too dumb to know. Decide for yourself what’s worse!

if you believe fully autonomous robot butlers are just over the horizon you are actually one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive and we should take your money from you so we can put it towards something worthwhile

God, a thousand times this.

That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis.

I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

I do not think there's a real risk of money being clawed back once it hits your EBT card.

So my advice: do not spend in anticipation of additional money hitting the card BUT once additional money has hit the card go ahead and spend.

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Dems need to start talking more about how Trump’s dementia means that he can’t distinguish his fantasies from reality. He has completely lost touch with the real world and only knows what his sycophantic courtiers are telling him.

Building a behemoth on the back of public subsidies, incentives, tax and carbon credits really paid off.

Uhhhhh, what the actual...???

The thing is, Jake has been a scoop machine since joining Wired a few months ago. Conde Nast just made Wired worse off with this action.

It was just a few days ago that he broke the Nancy Mace police meltdown story.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47 · 2m You can thank demented losers like @PattyMurray and @SenatorCantwell for this completely unnecessary, avoidable mess. They are truly sick.

your hard-earned tax dollars are paying for a White House social media account that calls duty elected senators "demented losers."

it's totally unacceptable and a disgrace.
