JFC how huge were the founding fathers

10 years ago, Amanda Marcotte was calling Bernie supporters a bunch of racist, sexist, spoiled rich kids and now she's trying to launder the history of the Young Republicans. el oh fucking el.

As you may have noticed, white supremacists want to stop the influx of hardworking young people (aka immigration) while somehow forcing white women to have lots more babies to compensate, but they refuse to make having kids more affordable and less arduous an experience.

was literally just telling some folks that i thought mamdani was going to break 50%

a step in the right direction, but what’s most interesting is it seems FINALLY dem politicians are understanding how toxic AIPAC and israel are for the party. hoping more do this and actively denounce israel

Swastika” Flag In Office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) May Be An “optical illusion” and “easy to miss” The weird story about an aide to Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) having a flag in his Capitol Hill office with a swastika on it, has just gotten weirder. Multiple sources tell Fox – including those investigating the issue – the flag in question is an American flag – but with a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving. And here’s the strange part: the swastika is not obvious to the naked eye. But is more visible when captured on video or by a still photo. One source described this as an “optical illusion.” Another said the swastika was “easy to miss.” Fox has learned that dozens of Congressional offices received these American flags from an undetermined group who brought them around Capitol Hill early in the year. One office tells Fox that the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out. But the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera. It is not known what group brought the flags around. That is under investigation. The US Capitol Police are also conducting an inquiry. Fox is told that that the group brought the flags to multiple offices. At issues is if the group knew the swastika was embedded into the flag. It is also unclear if this was an effort to covertly deliver American flags to lawmakers with swastikas on them. Or, if this was an effort to deliberately embarrass offices by bringing them an American flag – which featured a swastika which wasn’t obvious to the naked eye.

lol, now they're saying the Nazi flag is an "optical illusion"

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

This is the best editor's note:

Unfortunately the cameras will have a 100% rate of failure when police brutality is occurring.

If you're the Dems and you were scared of immigration as a topic before, I might try making it an issue now that masked goons are beating the shit out of innocent people in the streets on a daily basis. A lot of people are probably not down with this whatever their views on immigration are

cybertruck owners treat being a cybertruck owner as just as hard as being transgender in the united states it’s so awesome

you know what, I just appreciate that a democrat is saying "Medicare for All" in some way since Biden got the nom in 2020. Feels like it's been a while since I've heard it.

This was especially true for women/lgbtqia+/POC. A lot of publications wanted you to dump your trauma for $25 and we fell for it

Media is awesome because it can show an organization trying to get rid a guy who is underwater with state Democrats by 50 points, undermines any Democratic policy, and is just completely off-putting to anyone who has to spend five minutes around him; and they phrase it as “seeding discord”

Someone asked what happened to the casual Nazi at the end of WWII. The people who supported the Party

The answer? Suicides and murders. If they weren’t beaten to death or shot in the streets, they killed themselves

There’s a book called Promise Me You’ll Shoot Yourself by Florian Huber about it.

Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

Love it when the trash takes itself out.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid" We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

These. Were. Men. In. Their. 30s.

They’re literally all adults, some of them elected fucking officials. They’re not kids. And is Vance admitting that he frequently talked about how much he loved Hitler, wanted to send people to the gas chamber, and called Black people slurs OFFLINE when he was 29?

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem
