No one will ever beat "the recent unpleasantness" but this comes close

Holy shit it really is...

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

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

This is why good teachers are GOLD. I'll never forget my year 4 teacher Mr Braithwaite who told me I was a gifted storyteller. His confidence in me made me believe in myself and the gift he gave me never left me.
🫶 Mr Braithwaite and all the teachers like him.

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

I think the best punishment for Musk's Band of Hateful Children is to force them to explain exactly what they did and their reasoning for it on video and preserve it in a way that follows them for the rest of their lives.

“White” homeland will always need nonwhites as servants and workers. What it can’t have is equality under the law. That’s the “homeland” they’re looking for.

NYers can tell the Trust to cancel their ICE contract immediately

The Harris campaign performed well, as far as campaigns go, in that she was multiple points closer in the swing states the campaign focused on, and had a smaller loss than most of the world's incumbent parties.

There wasn't One Weird Trick she didn't do, nor One Big Mistake that cost it all. Sorry.

christians looking for jesus in every war we start, every missile we fire, every conquering despot we crown, and never in the one place jesus promised he could be found: among the poor, the starving, the oppressed.

That last line...woo, boy, I don't know...

So fuck this guy right in his ear but also fact that someone thinks this is a good strategy is not a bad sign.

anyone who has been on social media for the last 15 years has ptsd for this exact thing when the charts start to buck and the smart weirdos start to flail and vaguely gesture like this

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Says something about the user base of this website that multiple people have now said that they thought this was a picture of Paul Scheer

Your periodic reminder that if you are an elected Republican in Washington you can get respect and national attention by VERY OCCASIONALLY not doing a terrible job. Tilis is on TV right now because he briefly did what Dems do all the time.

Doesn’t matter who runs DHS. If Trump is ok with ICE agents terrorizing our communities, the abuse will continue.

Shouldn't be surprised by how many of these guys are predators, but I really am. Keep thinking they can't all be as cartoonishly evil as I think, but learning the world is less nuanced than I gave it credit for.

In my U.S. Civil Rights Movements class, we spend a lot of time thinking about historical memory. When movements get reduced to a few iconic leaders, the collective labor that made change possible disappears from view. It also obscures an important lesson: collective action is effective & difficult.

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

38% of airline passengers vote to open plane door midflight because that bitch stewardess said not to

in this former mining town, they know two things: Brexit means Brexit, and the Pahlavi dynasty (1925-1979) are the rightful rulers of Persia.

"Let's just deal with it once and for all" has for sure been a successful approach to US foreign policy for the last 75 years.

i work with words for a living, so I am biased, but I really think we've got to bring back words. really useful if you imbue them with meaning and arrange them properly!

The Markwayne Mullin appointment proves it without a shadow of a doubt. White supremacy & cultures of oppression REQUIRE the platforming of the transparently mediocre to enforce their systems.

Because that combo of mediocrity & ambition fosters a type of cravenness that is willing to do anything.

MANDATORY TIMELINE CLEANSE

Developing a theory of everything that deregulation + monetary and fiscal policies of 90s-2000s gave billions in unearned walking around money to absolute fuckwits who in turn funded idiots to create fake products no one wanted/needed, creating a sense of entitlement powerful enough to kill us all.

This framing is baffling...

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!
