I've call the right ranting about freedom while watching as real freedoms (speech, economic mobility etc...) disappear "seatbelt freedom"...these guys are such wild caricatures of themselves.

I've said it before, but if they win the division it will be the funniest thing ever.

The #redsox winning the division this year would be the funniest thing that has ever happened.

They are openly comfortable with a significant amount of avoidable death, and the Dems still can't capitalize on it.

The Democratic party cares about maintaining the power within the democratic party. They don't care about winning. Mamdani, AOC, Sanders, these guys represent a threat to their power.

Ranked choice allows for to people to vote for who they actually want. Short of the elimination of the two party system it's the best chance of maintaining the will of the people on this country.

This should be a huge story.

The sheer volume of bad shit going on is staggering.

If they replaced communion wafers with thin mints I would totally go to church.

I love MMA, but man does it attract the worst people. Really struggling to stick with it, not because of the sport, but because of what being part of its fandom seems to require cosigning on.

Aren't you tired of how central money is to our democracy?

To give a sense of out-of-kilter we are, a single state court race saw significantly more spending than the entire United Kingdom national election.

Thanks John Roberts!

I also wonder how these sorts of communications impact potential freedom of information act requests. Are records kept of these conversations?

Diplomatic row erupts after French researcher expelled from US for expressing 'a personal opinion' on Trump A diplomatic row has erupted between France and the US after a French researcher was expelled from the country for expressing "a personal opinion" on Trump.

It's weird how all the "free speech absolutists" are so quiet about all of the governmental attempts at quieting opposition. It's almost like they just wanted to be able to say the n word.

Chrono trigger holds up too. I've played it as recently as a cookie years ago. If love it if they did a remake with today's tech.

Anyone who isn't excited about season four of Ted Lasso is a person you don't want to be around. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. That show is pure goodness and exactly what I need right now.

STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR III, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT "LEADERS" IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

The silence from folks screaming about social media censorship while the government is actively punishing dissident speech is deafening.

Hakeem Jeffries is spineless. Dems should be screaming from the rooftops about being the party of the working class, and for the change they'd bring.

Instead they run on not being Trump. These feckless losers will continue to fail. There is no left party in the US
