A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

A shitlib is going to protest—will you?

While this is good progress, I think this story is making it sound like more members are shifting away than actually are.

Also even PACs like J Street are problematic. Israel is an apartheid state and needs fundamental changes that J street doesn’t advocate for. Get money out of politics.

What this story doesn’t tell you is she cut off her child and kicked them out/forced them to get through high school without any help.

Beth Bourne is an evil person, we live in the same town, she shows up to everything city government related because she’s unemployed and seems to be semi wealthy.

This is great! Why aren’t more democrats doing this? Especially in states like California?

I mean I know why, this is a rhetorical question, it’s because they are greedy and self centered and don’t actually represent the working class

You literally just signed a deal expanding oil production in the state of California, shut up you hypocrite

Kind of a metaphor for the entire administration

You say right after signing a bill to increase oil production in the state of California

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

Pritzker gets it. Suprised more dems aren’t talking like this.

So they’re friends again? I mean I know it’s all about the money but Elon literally called Trump a pedophile wtf

it is absolutely fair to say that hakeem jeffries has, in the last year, shown more support for charlie kirk's life work than he has for the democratic nominee for mayor in his city, the largest city in the country

It’s the same in California, the current chair Rusty Hicks (aka rusty dicks) is a white guy who is running the party in a horrible moderate direction, these people need to be kicked out, they are failing us

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

Tweet from Dan Satterfield Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

I am planning on writing something on how the corporate media's caving to power is not new but their MO for my whole life. The most prominent example of course is their laundering of the Bush administration's filmsy Iraq War evidence. 1/

Look who came with

was under the impression that making fun of someone else's murder is out of bounds

UC employees, not waiting on leaders, sue Trump for 'financial coercion' over UCLA cuts University of California faculty, students and staff on Tuesday sued President Trump over a $1.2-million penalty against UCLA and federal demands over campus changes. They argued that the actions camp...

BREAKING:

A historic coalition of national & California labor unions led by the AAUP filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the illegal & coercive use of civil rights laws to attack the University of California system & the rights of their members.

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

I don’t know if we’ve ever seen this species of Brainrot before. The right continues to innovate in new and exciting ways.

An illustration of a scene from Fargo drawn in the style of the comic strip The Far Side: Marge encountering the wood chipper situation and exclaiming, “Oh Jeez.”

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

this country isn't real man

highest profile political assassin in a generation and he's writing "owo notices bulge" and a Helldivers reference on the bullet casings

I’m so conflicted on this deal because SB237 raises oil production in California which I think is bad from an environmental standpoint but also we do need to be more independent from the broader United States and this is a good step until we can switch to 100% green energy

I actually went and gave a comment of support for that bill. PFAS has been incredibly harmful to our society and we are only barely uncovering the broader implications of its use in everything. The arguments against the bill are in such bad faith…

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

If you're represented by a Republican in the House, call their offices to demand they join this.

Be sure to tell them you know it just needs one more signature and it should be theirs.
