the mariners just hit a ball over the fence. i'd imagine they have a backup baseball on hand for such occasions

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

Every new "bombshell" on Mamdani is obviously "bitch eating crackers" material - it seems like a silver bullet slam dunk if you already hate him but for everyone else it's like "what is your problem man"

Remember: Most Americans just have no idea that 99% of this is going on. It’s simply off their screens.

NYT alert: New York City Rent 20m ago Increases of at least 3 percent were approved for one million rent-stabilized apartments, despite Zohran Mamdani's call for a rent freeze.

this is so perplexing do they think that we think that Zohran is already mayor?

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.

All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.

There is no justification for this.

Is it antisemitic to be against this

The freakout about the Zohran government possibly opening some groceries store in food deserts is fascinating because the simplest way for capital to route around it would be for businesses just open up there and obviate the need but they appear unwilling/uninterested in doing so, so govt steps in.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Trying to accomplish the main goal of adulting, which is to make enough money to pay the bills without wanting to swan dive off a bridge

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

CAL MF'N RALEIGH BABY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just looked at Abraham Toro's stats and took 50 psych damage (I'm a Mariner's fan)

A saga in 3 parts:

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

It is literally going to take smoke rising from the stacks of giant ovens in concentration camps for some people to realize things have gone awry, but even then many won't care, or think "well, they probably deserved it."

They are extremely clear about the fact that they consider themselves to be at war with you. They do not equivocate about it. It's their stated policy.

If they’ll do this to you for doing the absolute bare minimum of opposition then you might as well go all out

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Sen. Padilla forcibly removed from news conference in handcuffs where Trump official was speaking U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a news conference in Los Angeles where Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was trying to speak. He was led away in handcuffs.

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a news conference hosted by U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem on Thursday morning in Los Angeles, according to video of the incident posted to social media.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

I swear I can't go 5 fucking posts on this app without seeing some AI slop Taco meme.

The AI is bad for the world

The tacos look like shit anyways.

Can we just stop?
