Remember when Ketanji Jackson was in confirmation hearings, and Marsha Blackburn asked, "can you define a woman?"
She responded with, "I'm not a biologist," and conservatives jumped all over it.
This confidently wrong definition reads especially poorly when you remember the context. 🤣
I've seen homeless. I've interacted with homeless, and on occasion had an ongoing relationship with a homeless person.
This is a lie, and it should be made known as such.
Same same same
Republicans are so accustomed to whining from the minority that when they’re actually in the majority and still can’t manage to pass a bill, their automatic reflex is to blame the Democrats.
Republicans wanted the majority. They got it. Learn how to fucking govern.
"Super fair"
Yeah hokay
Just a reminder 💚
Whoever this is, they’re tragically right.
A nice reminder.

“Magic the gathering is actually more complicated than chess” I mean I guess I could also make a game more complicated than chess if it had 30,000 pieces yeah
This study ran a three year basic income program gave 1000 people $1000 monthly, and a control group of 2000 people who received $50.

It is exhausting having to research and figure out everything from black plastics to best ventilation practices to COVID vaccine schedules, I know this is a wild idea but have we thought about creating publicly funded government bodies that could manage and regulate this stuff on our behalf
Today I'm grateful for family, friends & loved ones.

Regulations exist to protect what cannot protect itself—our parks, wildlife, and cultural heritage.
The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
Someone help me understand
There's already unilateral tariffs on the horizon.
There's talk of dialing back military support of current US allies.
Beyond what's already underway, what weight do sanctions hold?
"Because it keeps working" is the real answer

I love that when I say "the good place" and "the bad place" everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.
Echo chambers are boring.
Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. A. R. Moxon
