once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

goddamn this guy is good

Cory Booker (D-NJ) voted against Bernie’s resolution to block sales of assault rifles to Israel.

This year, Israeli soldiers killed a 14-year-old from New Jersey.

Those being her initials is also far too on the nose

this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”

Robin Williams cast bio "ROBIN WILLIAMS, born in Chicago, spent his prepubescence bouncing back and forth between Detroit and Chicago before finally moving to San Francisco. It was there he discovered his imagination and women. He graduated high school most funny and least likely to succeed. To avoid terminal mellowness Robin left paradise to study in New York at the Juilliard School of Drama. After three years he returned to San Francisco to begin a career in the legalized insanity of stand up comedy. The rest is history. His hobbies are swimming, cross country running and bondage. Robin is appearing on the new LAUGH-IN specials this fall."

Today would have been his 74th birthday.

I have said before, and will say again, one of the Cardinal rules of any political party is: no friendly fire. Mamdani is the Democratic nominee and the leadership is currently shivving him, just an abject failure of party discipline

NOAA and FEMA are being gutted and our infrastructure was designed for the weather of 100 years ago.

“your friends won’t know when your partner gets kidnapped if they don’t engage with mechahitler.”

This is the one that breaks it. What even is the point of Congress if the legislature can pass a budget but the executive doesn’t have to follow it? We officially don’t have three branches anymore. We have a solitary tyrant.

One thing I like about alt text personally is that if you’re searching for an image or a screenshot, adding alt text helps people find it. It is useful for literally everybody.

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

WeTransfer TOS says they can use all your uploaded content for genAI

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

The terrible, dark secret republicans don’t want you to know is government works when you fund and staff it with people who care. Before they dismantled our federal agencies, they were full of dedicated public servants who were remarkably responsive because THEY WANTED TO HELP.

the non-ironic, casual deployment of the white usage of "woke" in news articles and opinion pieces makes me want to scream

Yeah

If I were a barista who was consistently this bad at making lattes I would be fired like 3 shifts in. This clip is one among dozens and yet...and yet...

The thing that is upsetting me is the use of 💯

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

LL COOL J drops out of Wawa Welcome America concert because of union strike LL COOL J said that he is not going to perform at Wawa Welcome America on July 4th in light of the AFSCME District Council 33 strike in Philadelphia.

“There is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket line”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I am no parliamentarian but if you can just hold the vote open indefinitely after the votes are in until you get the outcome you want that feels uhhh
not democratic

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

the president just opened a concentration camp
