You don’t hear it much, probably due to corporate capture of media, but this is what FDR did that got the ‘33 Act and the ‘34 Act passed. generational anger at corporations funneled into aggressive legislation that would have been unthinkable ten years earlier.

The Republican Party is like one of those things where the police announce that a bunch of guys that owe child support have won a prize and then arrest them when they come to claim it but for rounding up pedophiles and perverts

Beating the audience over the head with respectability gospel is ANNOYING and BAD

Can I vent

ppl can be so condescending about supreme court decisions. "wow, you didn't know that that piece of shit justice sees this one thing in a less shitty way, which would explain why he didn't support this case? ha, you rube! you imbecile doomer."

having no faith in SCOTUS is a reasonable take. chill.

There is so much pent up demand for joy and to believe in the future.

Thank you that was a big thanksgiving for me

Who gives a shit oh my god alert fucking teen beat magazine the pervert nerds are trying to flex on each other

I think the reason we don’t do big projects in the US now is because our economy is so tightly planned and over leveraged that even the smallest setback would wipe out the entire system. The villains in charge can’t even *pretend* to tell us the truth about their failures now.

I don’t post there at all but I believe there is way more cringe left-blaming brunchmaxxing dnc funded lib-posting on threads than here.

If you are in a government in Minnesota and your response to your constituents begging for help is to say that you can’t ruin the budget, you need to resign. This is an occupation by the federal government designed to ruin our lives. There is no status quo. Every priority has changed.

it's so funny to try to legitimize a moronic argument by claiming that it is supported by a growing movement of diverse thinkers and then you list the people who belong to that movement and every single one is stupid and/or racist

I have two teenage boys and it’s amazing to me how often they choose to be loud. It’s like a whole y-axis of sensory information that the rest of the world just doesn’t feel the need to access. They just be yelling.

propaganda works. I suspect it probably works better on people who think they're immune to it

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

The Quintessential Epstein Files Email - The American Prospect Jeffrey Epstein and his friends standing up for Mary Jo White against Elizabeth Warren tells you everything about the class war at the heart of the files.

Guys I found the best Epstein Files email. The one that illuminates an elite class that's cocooned themselves into an unaccountable shell of wealth and privilege, fighting to protect their secrets and offenses.
I could write a novel about this email.

Republicans are successfully building out Orban's state media model here in the states. It's really not very subtle.

My glutinous rice hookup came thru

This estate tax cut just passed 38-11.

Worth thinking about how John Fetterman's position polls at 5% among Democratic primary voters and AOC's polls at 75%

it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

Dialup 😂 delightful joke

“K-shaped economy” is a really bad cover phrase for “the economy is increasingly tailored for the richest citizens and weaponized against everyone else” and I wish people would stop using it

The Democrats have allowed police to brutalize college students all over the country for...setting up tents on a lawn. Do you realize how insane these people are yet?

Of course qanon doesn't care about the epstein files

They've always been pro sexual predator if the predator is a white male republican in a position of power

Why do you think they've never gone after the pastors, coaches & scout leaders that have been abusing kids in their communities for years?
