Most Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living, analysis finds The bottom 60% of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life," according to a new analysis.

i'm going to be cursed to see this link spammed for the rest of time, but just so everyone knows what the deal is:

these guys at LISEP literally only exist to make up numbers to say the economy is bad, that's their entire full-time job

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

“A Nigerian official was told by a U.S. counterpart that, with Thanksgiving coming up, Nigeria should go quiet and wait for the president’s attention to shift, a Nigerian official said.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, the commander in chief of the U.S. military.

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this.

To ICE: "You can repent"

There are no words for how evil this is

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

thomas jefferson wrote some vehement denunciations of people like thomas jefferson

also the path to this is not the Dems reaching out in conciliation. it is the Dems grinding the actually-existing GOP into dust until its leadership once again agrees that the bargain of liberal tolerance is worth abiding by

One day this social media exchange will be presented as evidence in a court room, and I cannot wait.

it's insanely funny for people to be talking like this about New York of all places, the city with a big metal lady in the harbor holding a sign that says "we love immigrants"

Shambo of Luxembourg@...・23h Wow, this transwoman on Only Connect is particularly unconvincing Graham Linehan @Glin... • 20h Replying to @Glinner Hey, @VictoriaCoren should 'Emily' be allowed in women's sports and spaces? What about female-only shelters and rape crisis centres? A yes or no will suffice! Victoria Coren Mitchell @ 1h Replying to @Glinner In my experience, Graham, *nothing* will suffice to stop you pestering me. You seem to really want a rise out of me, and I'm not someone who's comfortable with anger. Only Connect is just a harmless quiz show. I try to ignore your relentless messages like I would with any other troll. But on this occasion, out of respect for the friendly relationship we used to have and the brilliant writer you used to be, I will ask you one more time to please, please, please, leave us alone. If you are still in there somewhere: stop it. You MUST be better than this.

there’s a trans woman on ‘only connect’ and graham linehan is hassling victoria coren over it.

i like how he thinks he can out-fox a three time world poker champion by laying down a dipshit ultimatum and then saying ‘a simple yes or no will suffice’ like the dumbass debate-me-bro he’s become.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

I like that Dark Woke has a patriotism rooted in the Civil War. We need this.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

Forgot that punchbowl was some kinda news site so for a few seconds I thought wow that must have been a pretty crazy accident

i hate it but you can't deny he's the funniest president we've ever had

The problem with Hard Men is that whenever it turns out that What Needs To Be Done is actually something soft and feminine like giving away free money to buy food, healthcare, housing, etc, the Hard Men simply refuse to Do it and start Hard planning human sacrifices instead.

that's me in the corner
that's me in the float point
losing my precision

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

November 1st

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

We have allowed the affable dumbass to be supplanted by the seething moron in American conservatism. We need more of this guy.

Lmao literally having a "we're rich" party while they cut SNAP is like cartoon level evil it's like the villain in a Dr. Seuss book
