it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Don't sacrifice the real world for AI Data centers, billionaires, and the economic model we live in

Big tech says data centers are the next frontier, and they’re right. Except they’re the next frontier in the capitalist destruction of the planet much more than they’re a major economic breakthrough. Ultimately data centers embody everything wrong with this system.

Like Hakeem Jeffries either truly believes that we are just gonna ride this era out as a nation and it will be business as usual in 2028 OR he is being paid to behave this way.

Either way, he needs to be primaried and voted out

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett

Care Over Cuts: Reining in the Trump Chaos

Every Democrat must oppose any GOP budget that allows Trump’s chaos and lawlessness to continue unchecked. Any government funding deal must halt Trump’s attacks on federal agencies and programs that Americans count on for their health, safety and economic security.

Using Gatorade to water plants because β€œit has electrolytes” is actually not as dumb as ending childhood vaccine mandates. One is dumb while the other is maliciously stupid, willfully negligent and harms kids.

We are officially dumber than Idiocracy.

The group @stop_antisemitism is calling me evil for wanting starving children to have food.
They called for me to be investigated by the
DOJ because I care about Palestinian children, along with all children.
It's led to me getting threats, needing security & they've tried to ruin my career. It's been incredibly painful.
But the pain doesn't compare in the slightest to what the children of Gaza experience.
And my dedication to children & their human rights is stronger than any of it.

Billionaire Bill Ackman is now saying that there are "hundreds of million of dollars" available to back a challenger to Zohran Mamdami.

This is a billionaire refusing to respect democracy, and refusing to respect a vote that chose people over profit.
