comrade sinkhole

It's not unfair to point out a politician stumbling on an international platform, if the paper wasn't also involved in a daily sanewashing effort of President Hitler.

This newspaper will unilaterally edit the statements of politicians if they use profanity, obscuring what they actually said to avoid printing curse words. So this is a choice and it's not hard to guess why it's been made.

The huge success of "actually eating steak and butter every day is GOOD for me" is great evidence for the Everyone is 12 Now theory

If you (whoever you are) give a few dollars away a month, you're beating Elon Musk in relative donations.

The comments. My lord. The Venn Diagram of people who say "a woman can't be President" and say "Gavin Newsom 2028" is a circle

Byhalia ICE Facility Plans Ditched Amid Mississippi Opposition, Wicker Says A proposed ICE detention facility that would have held 8,500 immigrants in a warehouse in Byhalia, Mississippi, won’t happen, Sen. Roger Wicker says.

HELL yea

it’s exactly what Republicans did to the IRS money in the Inflation Reduction Act

ICE doesn't ever "leave" any state. There will continue to be ICE and CBP enforcement actions as there were during previous presidents. Hillary Clinton was saying this in her remarks. She doesn't like the visible violence but she is fine with "regular" violence.

how does someone mow down a family of four, blame the car (no issue was found), transfer real estate to Nevada LLCs to avoid compensating the victims' families, and then walk away with nothing more than probation?

Remember those old photos of choking smog hanging over LA and NYC in the 70s? Well get ready for that again

can you imagine if the establishment press treated this madness with the same scorn reserved for progressives advocating for affordable housing regulation?

pretty stunning chart

WA Democrats consider retreat on estate tax, fearing wealth exodus Democrats in the state Legislature are moving to roll back a big increase in the estate tax rate, acknowledging it may be causing some very wealthy people to move.

You can't call every step of creeping fascism a distraction from kitchen-table issues and then punt whenever you have a chance to address the kitchen-table issues.

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

The quote here is from someone talking about tech bros trying to maximize AI agent productivity, and.

I would add that the metaphor of "whips" driving "labor" suggests power over a VERY specific sort of body that is subjugated under a VERY specific system of labor

the AI craze may actually do more damage via creating additional unaccountable centibillionaires than by all of the other disruption it’s causing, which is considerable

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

Black Residents Win Key Ruling in ‘Cancer Alley’ Environmental Racism Case The lawsuit could force a jury to decide if turning Black communities into sacrifice zones is a legacy of slavery.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

maybe not the main point but it is wild to be lectured on “culture” by the human avatar of Ready Player One

he has no culture, no interest in anything besides mindlessly saying the names of things he knows are supposed to be cool as some sort of shibboleth

we may have deported people, but we did it without disturbing ✨your brunch✨

Being brought into the principal’s office and being shown that a bunch of 38 year olds on a website you’ve never been on approve of you punching a kid.

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

interesting that these people — and fellow travelers like bari weiss — insist on large, expensive security details. they are status markers, i suppose.

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

The way even very left wing people are like “it’s inevitable! We have to adapt” like…this is an example of not being immune to propaganda. You probably shouldn’t believe tech CEOs pitching to investors…

This is like 10x more brazen than anything you'll read in a Naomi Klein book or hear on Democracy Now

end qualified immunity and make cops carry personal liability insurance
