Nuoc mam to dip or you’re missing out

Getting them in a salad roll with that crispy wonton stick is goated.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.

He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

Gov. Mills signs controversial abortion and gender-affirming care bill into Maine law The new Maine law protects out-of-state patients who are seeking abortions or gender affirming care in Maine.

also fucker under Janet Mills in 2019 Maine changed to allow self-ID for state documents, in 2020 bring out a non-binary X marker, in 2023 law protecting 16-17 years access to hormones, and in 2024 protecting gender-affirming care in LAW! she's CHANGED! the law to make a better state

so Janet Mills was on the board of directors of a civil rights organization for 20 years, and while it was a women's rights org her co-founder of The Maine Women's Lobby, Lois Galgay Reckitt was a Lesbian and the origination fought for LGBT rights

20 years worth of work shows she fucking care.

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else.

In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Get lost with this garbage.

Never forget that that the modern brand of fascism is built on the conspiracy theory that a woman had sex with a guy in order to get a good review for her free browser game

I would simply like the “it’s so hard and depressing to vote the obvious choice” vanity for likes schtick to die

This is very important to keep in mind. It *is* just a schtick. I firmly believe that the majority of people who post like this know better and are doing it to put up a show to signal what they think is morality to their friends.

Bring back civic minded voter mentality, do away with dead-eyed "break through my depression and make me feel something or else I blow this whole place and everyone in it sky high, you fucking fed!" voter mentality.

Tactically, there is a lot to learn from the pro-life movement. They settled for incremental change, took over state legislatures, persisted over decades, emphasized the most popular parts of their agenda, deployed appealing language...

Scored the October Gorillaz tickets that my 17 year-old really wanted. I, for one, am excited to hear “Flimsy Steve” live.

Plus Snyder is Just Another White Guy with a Substack.

Want to know what happens when an unpopular president waging an unpopular war decides to cancel elections? Look at what happened to Minneapolis (who still had elections even as people were literally getting shot in the street).

The problem with thinking Americans will be cool with canceling elections is that just recently we learned how uncool Americans could be when you told them they couldn't go to Applebees.

I mean they didn't stop elections during the Civil War I don't see them doing it now.

guy who fled the country instead of fighting fascism in a cushy academic job says what

As a criminal defense lawyer since 2004, wow, this story is fucking nuts. Read it!

Generally speaking, the media is much more comfortable amplifying fake outrage over a Democrat than the real thing over a Republican. Even years later if you search “Obama coffee salute” you see how much of the most mainstream media bought in. Compare to searching “Trump hat” and see who is on it.

Never forget.

you can't do the uwu smol bean "nobody forms any part of their worldview from lil ol me" shit when you've got 50,000 followers sorry

pretending not to understand there are shades of grey between a "pro bono campaign ad" and constantly whining about how much they suck because that might require me to examine how I behave online

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

Also, it’s true that public health people have to treat them with compassion and offer the benefit of the doubt, but regular people don’t have to do the same in their personal lives. Social stigma is a free tool for anyone!

I understand why public health people tend to treat anti-vaxxers as people with good intentions who are victims of misinformation.

But there’s also narcissism and arrogance at play with many anti-vaxxers, and it can get frustrating to be told to treat them with endless compassion and patience.

Person was carrying too much/got flustered when the streetcar came.

"no, I don't think of the political party of Black and queer people as evil, do you?"

“Leftists” need to understand that “liberals” never say that.

It’s something YOU say when you’re whining about having to vote against fascists.

Leftists have sealed themselves in a bubble where they never talk to actual liberals. They just argue with cartoon straw liberals in their own heads.

Don’t think there’s a great conspiracy here or anything but like, “Huh, how did these DC consultants find this one particular random guy and get him a bunch of buzz and cash early” always felt like it had an answer and hmmm.
