Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible

The funniest part of fascists' Greco-Roman fetishizing is how mad they get when they find out that those sculptures they love were historically painted in bright "gay" colors.

Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

I love this.

one good thing about polarization is that its breaking up the boys club and thr associated social norms (powerful people can do whatever they want) that governed basically every aspect of american society

There Will Be Graphs: A deeper dive into how 14 states are dramatically mitigating the expiring tax credits Last week I posted a deep dive into how a bunch of states are taking action to at least partially cancel out the impact of the impending end of the enhanced federal Advance Premium Tax Credits (APTC) ...

📣 OK, as promised, here's my *deeper* dive into how 14 states have instituted #ACA pricing policy which will *dramatically* mitigate the expiring tax credits for a significant portion of enrollees...IF enrollees take advantage of it:

What an election for Puget Sound.

-Full sweep for progressives in Seattle, Burien, Redmond
-New progressive mayors in Tacoma, Lynnwood
-GOP CM Conrad Lee replaced in Bellevue
-3/4 progressives winning in Kirkland
-Full sweep of special legislative races
-Gains or holds in many other cities

These matter if we work collectively to make them matter. That means everyone talking about them a lot, not just on here, but to normies in everyday life. Please help do your part!

post from Renan Porto's twitter, the post says "É Brasiiiiil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Nem nos meus sonhos mais malucos eu imaginei que um dia faria uma pintura do Bowser gostosão para um material oficial, anunciado pelo Miyamoto em pessoa. 😭 Eu ri tanto de descrença enquanto pintava, vcs nao tem idea kkkk" attached to the post is a screencap from the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer of Bowser holding a painting of Buff Bowser with Princess Peach

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

Important thread about the circumstances of a landmark case in 2005, in which the Roberts court ruled that police have no duty to protect people, only property.

As far as I'm concerned, Biden protected Trump better than Trump did

THEY HAVE NAMES?!?

if I post gerrymanders of the Virginia legislature can one of you promise to put it in Louise Lucas's replies on Twitter

I'll never understand whatever internal logic drives them to make these choices. My guess is a rancid personal worldview primarily.

whenever I see an excuse for using "ai voices" being "voice actors expensive though" that's just a lie

I'm in multiple voice acting servers & there are enough people who'd do projects for free that there are sections dedicated to unpaid casting calls, literally no excuse for AI

Josh’s post is worth reading in its entirety. The points:

1) kill the filibuster
2) court reform
3) DC/PR statehood
4) clean up laws on presidential power
5) outlaw extreme gerrymandering

These strike me as a really good starting point of foundational necessities.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

The only path to a real opposition party is through a cleansing primary season. We have spent a year trying to convince the Democratic Party to unify and fight back — but at some point, you’ve got to either change your leaders’ minds or change your leaders. And the time for changing minds is over.

i don't think people really understand how insane a democrat winning NJ-07 **ON THE STATE LEVEL** is

under these lines, NJ-07 went to the GOP candidate by double digits for every single governor's election for the past few decades (including 2017 and 2021)

and sherrill straight up WON it

how they just voted would not make the slighest dent in the excitment a credible challenger for Warner, Hick, or Reed would get immediately. and the right person could take Booker.
