Republican layoffs are deep inside a complicated sentence, well beneath the fold. But the HEADLINE, is...that the minority party *refuses* to vote for a bill they didn't get any input into. The fact they weren't allowed any input is unmentioned in the article.

Watch how corporate media ascribes all of the agency to one party.

Notice how Republicans never simply do anything? The only action this article actually ascribes to Republicans is "following through on his threat".

YES THIS. I love camping and hiking and all sorts of "white people" stuff that I know my ancestors did with pride

Have you noticed the secret police disappearing people to gulags from the streets of the United States? The clause in the American Constitution that specifically legalizes slavery? The democratically elected governments wehave overthrown? The countries we have invaded?

You don't see the suffering?

Trump's words are incitements to violence when he says them, but somehow they only become criminal when someone who doesn't like him repeats them.

I can't do faces. Who is she?

Spooky scary insideoutopods

The fresh new face of the Democratic party. Are we really to pass the baton to a kid who isn't even as old as transistors or LP records?

Nobody can resist that. Hippo is lying or delusional if he thinks he can.

When Dr. Nobel created this prize to whitewash his years of arms dealing, surely he never expected it to be used to whitewash the legacies of other men who profited from the suffering of others!

"Well that was a long time ago; surely they improved their criteria since than--"

No, no they didn't.

You have to inspect what you expect. I want monthly PSAs that always include searching your children's room for increasingly unlikely situations.

It’s almost like the capitalist ruling class are literally extracting surplus value from the workers. Gosh, how I wished more working class people were class conscious. 😭

Karl Marx referred to this as "surplus value" — the unpaid labour that workers create but never receive the full value for.

*shrug* Erin posted a thread offering to roast people's bagel orders. I don't see a need to take it personally.

The thread is labeled "based on NYC cultural expectations". Most people want someone who understands them to represent them in office.

Eat your food the way you want, but as far as appeals to tradition go, this is pretty harmless and meant in good fun.

Food is a surprisingly accurate shibboleth to determine an in group. Bagels are a working class food due to their accessibility and affordability, so if someone wants a bagel that can't be made at a local bagel shop, it means they must be accustomed to a different lifestyle.

I am anticarceral, but if someone presents a threat to themselves or others maybe they should get the help they need in a secure institution.

Again, only 4 Mr. Olympia winners in the past 42 years have not been Black or Middle Eastern. And most of the white Olympia winners, including Schwarzenegger, are vocally anti-nazi and think racists are losers.

Anti-racist people own the gym. And we have since the dawn of bodybuilding.

You let a woman beat you at something and developed a healthy relationship instead of melting down and making up a nonsensical reason to storm out?!

You need to eat more raw liver. Eat bull testicles every morning so your life will be much less happy but dudes on the internet will think you're rad

A tear rolls down my cheek as I slowly remove my "Not a furry" T-shirt and drop it into a garbage bin.

Some wolves like to keep their werewussy shaved.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Exactly this, on the Klein/Coates debate:
"I think it is an indictment of intentions of those who seek to draw the boundaries of discourse so that they maintain peace with those waging war, instead of working to establish peace for the first time on behalf those against whom war is being waged."
