In some countries the outbreak of bloodshed inspires the opposition party to call for the leader to resign

"The whole time our posse of masked goons were kidnapping a 5yo child and sending him to prison in a different state, their primary concern was the safety and welfare of that child."

Confused sleep flavor.

We are at the “Minnesotans are spray painting their broiler pans for body armor” stage of the fight

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Every one of these pieces comes down to “what if ai was useful”

actually neither socialism nor justice requires you to demean yourself and if you really think about it they are about the opposite of that

So damn good

Imagine waking up after a fitful night of sleep in those shorts…just twisted tinfoil from the waist down. Unsettling.

Cool thing to hear an opposition leader say the day after the president refers to somalis as “garbage” bsky.app/profile/atru...

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.

It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

really excited for 60 Minutes to just be a show about what Alan Dershowitz thinks the age of consent should be

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

🚨 With a 60-40 vote (the same breakdown as yesterday’s vote), the Senate has PASSED their negotiated federal budget deal.

The deal now goes to the House. Floor vote is expected on **WEDNESDAY**

I love that trusted international organization FIFA has finally created its own peace prize to hand out

A bunch of jagoffs, including but not limited to Debra Messing: Hate and fear Muslims, they [fill in the blank heinous racist words].

Virginia: Fuck you.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid.

Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Respectfully I think this is too charitable. It's not like the survival of Disney depends on any particular merger going through. Its executives already have generational wealth. They're unquestionably in a position to tell Trump to eat shit and they've chosen to collaborate instead

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

if they're calling it the Reichstag fire themselves doesn't that sort of give the game away

Kavanaugh: Under this Court's precedents, not to mention common sense, those circumstances taken together can constitute at least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United States. Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter. Only if the person is illegally in the United States may the stop lead to further immigration proceedings.

Among myriad problems with this ruling, can we pause to appreciate the childlike naïveté exhibited by Cavanaugh on the barely-worth-mentioning inconvenience of being detained and interogated by ICE? We are approaching Plessy levels of obtuseness, or feigned obtuseness.

A Brave, Gently Used World

The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors
