1. It most definitely does not "break their hearts" to say

2. How many different ways can billionaire pro-natalist freaks make clear that they plan to subjugate women and girls by any means necessary?

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

U.S workers just took home their smallest share of capital since 1947, at least | Fortune American workers aren’t just getting the smallest share of GDP since records began. Their share of employment is shrinking and shrinking

Harsh, but fair:

Decades of Tax Cuts and Oligopoly rule have undone all of the post-World War Two Middle-class economic gains.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Pluribus had one of the strongest first seasons of any show of the 2020’s decade. Gotta be a top ten debut. Vince Gilligan curtailed his usual monotonous self-indulgence to just a handful of scenes. The rest was crackling like a fuse. Apple committed to two seasons upfront so no forced resolution.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

A screenshot of a social media post from a parody account styled as a governor’s press office. The post uses all caps and mocks a political figure by describing a fake award in exaggerated, insulting language. Below it is another post sharing a short video clip from a televised event at the Kennedy Center. In the video still a man in a suit is being given a large decorative medal by another man while cameras and a news chyron run along the bottom. The scene takes place on a stage with a blurred backdrop.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

Cont: "If that generation comes to its inheritance blinded by ignorance and corrupted by vice, the fall of the Republic will be certain and remediless."

From Garfields inauguration address in 1873: "The voters of the Union, who make and unmake constitutions, and upon whose will hang the destinies of our governments, can transmit their supreme authority to no successors save the coming generation of voters, who are the sole heirs of sovereign power."

That account steals photos from other accounts and posts as their own. See @amyb8888.bsky.social for the real deal.

Learned a new word today that is appropriate for our current situation: Antinomianism recognizes that the moral law is created to serve its creators
and masters, at the expense of everyone else, and is therefore moral in name only

Civil unrest needs to get unrestier.

Today's Supreme Court opinion once again underscores the fact that voting isn't a moral act, it's a utilitarian one. Evangelical conservatives voted for a clearly un-Christian piece of shit and in the end they've won despite virtually all of their policies being unpopular.
