I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

American soldiers are being killed because the president doesn’t want you to know that he raped little children for decades. And if I’m wrong, sue me, asshole.

If you're a writer or researcher who thinks AI is better than you at your job, I believe you. I just don't think you should pretend like your skill issue affects me

A colorful infographic titled "What is the Trans Bill of Rights?" outlines four points with icons: protections from employment and housing discrimination, equal access to medical treatment without discrimination, legal recognition of gender identity, and the right to use restrooms aligning with a person's gender identity.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov β€” legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills.

To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Pruning grape vines on a cold damp day

"Kari" is pruning grape vines in the Kerman CA area. "You feel temps down to the bone-especially when it's this damp. The vines are brittle so it's hard to make clean cuts. I earn min. wage and work 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week. This hard work feeds my family." #WeFeedYou

A political cartoon listing a more complete list of the environmental impacts of a car: tailpipe emissions; road salt; particulate β€˜tire dust’ from tire and brake disc decay; manufacture and disposal impact of mined metals, solvents, plastic, and other materials; urban and rural land destroyed by roads and parking; animals killed by cars; people killed and maimed by cars; mining, emissions and heat sink impact of roads, bridges, and asphalt.
At the bottom of the cartoon is a panel in which a man says, β€œElectric vehicles eliminate tailpipe emissions!”

It *is* a big deal. Transitioning away from car-centric design is an even bigger deal. With EVs, you simply remove tailpipe emissions, and even then the electricity may still come from a fossil-fuel based grid depending on where you live.

The idea that no one said anything about the Obama deportations requires you to ignore the fact that he was labeled the Deporter in Chief by immigrant rights groups. This is why Biden was particularly deliberate in building relationships with many of these same groups to mute their criticism

i can’t get over the way β€œsmall government conservatives” are strenuously defending the prerogative of federal officials to remain anonymous from the public over whom they exercise lethal state power

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

There might be etymological truth to that. But I don’t hang around the manosphere or rightwing internet to know. I always interpreted it as, β€œAn action is based because it is based in a hard or uncomfortable truth.”

The first definition is correct, but the second one isn’t necessarily. It’s more like telling someone, β€œGreat job” in response to a bold move.

Call to DEFUND. Do NOT vote to continue funding, this is a stopgap measure. "More training" will NOT work with these racist goons!! Call out Schumer and Jeffries for their lack of leadership!!!!!

DO SOMETHING BESIDES MAKING OUTRAGED VIDEOS!! Use that white male privilege, Chris!!!

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have
