Senator Brattin was blocking a bill that named a section of a highway after 29-year-old Kansas City firefighter-paramedic Graham Hoffman, who died on April 27, 2025, after being stabbed in the chest by a patient he was transporting to a hospital. missouriindependent.com/2026/03/11/m...
Far right Missourians are sharing this meme after State Senator Rick Brattin(R) threw an absolute shit fit in the Senate today and refused to come to the chamber (which is his job) for debate.
Turns out there might be some truth to the horseshoe theory of politics after all. 🤝🏻
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
We're excited to announce that we'll be playing at Total Bummer Festival at Knockdown Center in NYC May 30th & 31st. Tickets now on sale. link.dice.fm/TOTALBUMMERNYC
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
Does FIFA do a prize for economics
Jesus Christ…
we see a lot of news stories about AI data centers ruining cities, noise, pollution, etc, so i'd really like to see some positive stories about AI, like someone burning down a data center, or a data center falling into a sinkhole. something that brings us together to laugh
The worst invention of all time. Why anyone thinks it’s appropriate to talk on speakerphone in public is beyond me.
And listening to music on speaker
abolish speakerphone
Michael Stipe showed up in NYC tonight for the Michael Shannon/Jason Narducy show and sang @remhq.bsky.social "These Days" (!!!!) and "The Great Beyond." 😭 😍https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RiouUSsOIs
singer from brass solidarity band shatters a sheet of ice as the band plays “lovely day” at the abolish ICE benefit festival in minneapolis held across the street from where federal agents murdered alex pretti in january
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday fundraiser will be for The Trans Continental Pipeline, helping trans folks leave hostile states (ahem, Kansas) for Colorado.
"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard
Trans rights are human rights. This isn't a tough one.
this photo looks like the last thing you’d see before waking up in a tub of ice with a kidney missing
SUGAR recorded Copper Blue AND Beaster in March 1992.
More stories ahead as we continue the countdown to May 2 in NYC!
I remember when Roe fell all we got from the Dems were fucking fundraising emails and texts. That was it.
You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care about this for your own personal safety
First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us
Brian Pogue thinks we should be a country of laws. Brian Pogue is a felon. My neighbor, who is being deported, is not.
My husband: Babe, what are you doing tonight?
Me: Looking up arrest records of everyone commenting that my neighbor “should’ve come here legally.”
Saw a black Cybertruck very slowly pass a parked navy Cybertruck facing the same direction. Total eclipse of the dorks.
Really isn’t discussed enough the extent to which the Trump administration is at war with Blue States, particularly Minnesota.
If Clinton, Obama, or Biden had treated Florida this way it would have been a presidency-ending scandal but for Trump the press is just like “oh that scad and his hijinks.”
This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
I don't have a new angle on every cop union issuing its own version of Nick Swardson I Was Murdered Dot JPG after two cops got hit with snowballs while wandering NPC-style through a snowball fight. I guess I'm most curious about who called the cops to say "they're throwing snowballs in the park."
Rep. Ilhan Omar shouts repeatedly at Trump: "You have killed Americans!"
