Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

It’s certainly true that his go-to argument style is generally unhelpful to most of the causes he supports

Man endorsed bribery a million times faster than he endorsed mamdani

I mean, he’s not wrong that a functional shelter system is better than guys lighting fires in vacant buildings. I’d feel more charitable towards the city if they hadn’t closed the RMV shelter due to nimbys and then completely fumbled opening a Winter shelter this year. People will die because of it

Yeah, that seems about right for 2025

lot of Israel's defenders soothe themselves with this argument that the problem is just social media/ news diet. l'd urge them to think about how patronizing this sounds to people of all ages who were sincerely upset and angry about the very real, documented

Gotta say, I am not a fan of Winter

That’s one piece of news that Mike Johnson will probably see

the problem is not that "Ed Markey is old as shit and Pressley would be better" it's "Ed Markey is old as shit and could very well lose a primary to the party's leading transphobe"

rip Charlie Kirk, you would have hated Knives Out III

New Knives Out absolutely slaps

It is worryingly following the pattern of previous “oh, he’s not going to really do that, it would be idiotic” events, all of which have ended with him in fact really doing them

My biggest nitpick is that it does a great job at presenting a nuanced view, but still glosses over stuff like “George Washington started the 7 Years War”

That annual tradition of my in-laws asking if I know who the newly famous performers at the parade are. I don’t know what a mr. fantasy is, I am 37 years old

I get the strategy, but it’s a problem for the NBA that the last 10 seconds of a game takes like 20 minutes now

This seems like a “quietly cancelled in early 2027“ project

Yeah, compare this to “at 7 it’s marginal” which is equally casually cruel about a holiday, but is legitimately very funny

All I'm sayin' is that we didn't bail out Ty when Beanie Babies crashed.

This is a good ranking by Pritzker. It’s close to totally correct! The correct ranking however is

Empire
Star Wars
Last Jedi
ROTJ
Revenge of the Sith
Force Awakens
Rogue 1
Phantom Menace
Solo
Attack of the Clones
Rise of Skywalker

this is an electorate practically crying out for Ayanna Pressley lol

I don’t even get why he would want mayor. I don’t think he’s ever had any kind of remotely worthwhile order in his entire tenure. He clearly doesn’t care about doing anything unless it relates to historic monuments or protecting landlords from ever having to do anything they don’t want to

Ugh. It was always a longshot, but Bergman is a terrible councilor. Hopefully he takes the hint to make this term his last

It’s been a real blackpill this election season to realize that the average Worcester voter apparently has a nonsensical political compass, and/or is just filling out ballots randomly

Well, that’s a shame!

Do you know if they’ll announce the results immediately, or is there some additional process?

He is just not in any kind of groove today. He usually makes effortless throws, and he’s forcing it badly
