ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

i think the reason i find relatively well-heeled american people’s doomerism hard to bear is that it’s no less self important than evangelicals’ assertions that these just happen to be the end of days. and compared to people in e.g. the global south most of us ARE relatively well-heeled

“How you die does not redeem how you lived.”

sorry if this offends but i hate this heinous bitch

It’s so embarrassing to still believe this. It’s like thinking Santa is real.

Dems need to accept that this whole “see, we can still work with Republicans to get things done” schtick is part of the reason a lot of people don’t believe the entirely correct claims of corruption and authoritarianism. If those claims were true, why would you still be working with them?

To bring this back to the Biden age discourse - why not - it's not a problem for Dems bc voters will give a shit about Biden in future elections.

It's because if you have a phony dissembling answer these voters say "that's a phony" and ignore you.

cannot stop laughing about Lolo shifting into donald trump voice to call elon musk a faggot

bullet dodged, papists

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

honestly the longer the luigi mangione case goes on for the more i’ve become convinced he wasn’t even the guy that shot the unitedhealth CEO and is just a fall guy the state decided upon to punish

my offer to america: we bring woke back

classic cat owner experience this weekend: was at the emergency vet until 6 a.m., spent a small fortune on a bunch of tests, only for the vet to conclude that she’s a little stressed

the thing about schumer stepping down is (1) he absolutely should but (2) the entire dem senate caucus re-elected him unanimously just a few months ago despite his inadequacies being glaringly obvious. really illustrates how un-seriously they took trump, that nobody said hey maybe a fighter instead

(doing tactics voice) first of all i will always surrender

pretty good representation of the mask off era here

Hell.

very likely that they’re about to find a constitutional right to forced conversion therapy

"We are deeply appreciative of all you do in the care of our students and community. Also we will be using your engineering class as a trap for students who protested a genocide before they're shipped off to a Trump blacksite, and it's not optional."

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.

Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one.

Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful.

Universities should treat it that way.

i feel like pinching used to be much more of a thing. you read old books, little sisters are always pinching. we used to be a proper country

Their goal is to overwhelm us and ah crap it's working. I am in fact overwhelmed.

sadistic child abuse is core to the ideology of conservativism as practiced in the united states.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out
