this take gets annoying as a southerner. you should not give up on the south, but no, it is not red because of voter suppression or a lack of funding for dems. doug jones raised shitloads of money and lost. it is red because the overwhelming majority are extremely racist white conservatives

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

If you think being identity-pilled is bad for the Democratic brand, then why do you constantly keep perpetuating the (false, IMHO) and right wing narrative that the Democratic party is identity-pilled?

dystopian ass weather report

A tan pitbull with a white chest and throat stands with her paws resting on the knees of someone who is otherwise off-camera. Behind her are green walls and a white sink; we’re in the bathroom and the person whose knees they are is just trying to take a leak in peace.

“It looks like you’re trying to pee. Would you like help?”

Grok's understanding of the world, plus the legal and physical power to - I guess - violently restrain someone? Kill them? (How does a humanoid robot prevent imminent crime?) - upon an autonomous determination that crime is underway:

I'm trying to figure out which techno-utopia to file this under.

It oddly works as an additional troll when it turns out there's no more Alf.

Holy shit, finally an op-ed that gets it!

DESPITE ALL MY RAGE
LET'S CIRCLE BACK

DESPITE ALL MY RAGE THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL METRICS TO GAUGE

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.

And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?

Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

I think this is good insight into cop brain bc no fucking way they knew what USIP was and had any opinions on it, they're just losers excited to "raid" something

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

it snowed one time and they’re packing it in

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here

“An Egalitarian Pressure”: Australia Has Been Requiring People to Vote for 100 Years As Australia compels voters to show up at the polls this weekend, a scholar lays out the genesis of

An Australian scholar explains the idea that drove Australia to adopt compulsory voting: "You would know that the government that was elected had the support of the majority of voters in the electorate—not just the majority of the people who turned up."

A yellow bridge in front of a city background with three banners reading "POST-GAZETTE STRIKERS WILL WIN".

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

My book comes out tomorrow so let’s play “What does the news remind me of?”

Up first: The editorial in Bezos’s Post describing Mamdani’s win as "new era of class warfare." It reminds me of a memo commissioned by a different rich guy more than a century ago.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

A tan pitbull mix stands on a grey couch with a pink blanket on it. A human hand is holding up a cross-shaped, hard plastic chew toy and she is absolutely going to town on it. Her mouth is held wide open by the toy, displaying her white teeth and pink tongue.

Did you know the chew toy tastes better if the human is holding it?

This is Stella Luna! I’m fostering her with the Humane Rescue Alliance. She’s crate-trained, good on a leash, incredibly sweet, caused *no* trouble today while I was gone for hours, and she’s available for adoption today!

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

i think Senator Lander has a ring to it

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

Grackles always seem so easily outraged. I'm sure some of it is just how they look, but what funny birds.

when your vote is so toxic you have the Chair of the DNC saying this shit sucks, you really have to admire the levels of embarrassment here

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
