The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

9. Now this idea is being resuscitated once again. The city is cast by the new wave of fascists as a degenerate, crime-ridden arena, dominated by Muslims, immigrants and “alien” ideas such as feminism, antifa, anti-racism, trans rights, asylum, public transport and intellectualism.

Although he didn't envision Donald Trump being the one to reap the rewards of all his work on this.

He died knowing he destroyed the country he loved.

OK to be serious for a second: Dick Cheney won. This is the kind of presidency he spent his entire career fighting to establish.

Like many revolutionaries, he was devoured by those who followed in his wake; but when it comes to his chief goal — formally installing an imperial presidency — he won.

I see Dick Cheney's death has been pushed lower on the NYT page by a new top story about a GOP president deciding which half-assed plan to use for regime change in Venezuela and what a nice tribute to him really. Justifying it based on a drug that Venezuela doesn't traffic in is a great touch.

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality.

Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

bereckerI hate that we have to talk about this guy, but unfortunately he is becoming more influential, especially among young men. Your kids may already know who he is. As a Christian, it is very sad to me that pastors teach parents how to push gender roles on their kids, but don’t teach them how to talk about misogyny and violence against women. Talk to your boys about consent. Talk to them about misogyny. Talk to them about their feelings. The women of the world will thank you. 💖View all 2,987 comments

It will be very funny if nobody gets banned for insulting one of the main architects of modern conservatism when dozens of people did for defaming America's 38th most popular podcaster. It'll really show where postmodern conservatism is at as a movement.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies

As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

What Hillary is saying here is a conspiracy theory and not even a tame, silly one, but a whopper. A more balefully consequential and widespread one than e.g. Trump complaining that the media lied about his crowds being big.

Hillary Clinton on the generational shift on Israel inside the Democrats.
"We have done a miserable job teaching young people history.
"And, you know, those of us who have lived through it, I went to Israel for the first time in 1980, so a long time ago, and I've been back many times. And obviously, you know, with my husband, deeply involved in all kinds of activities to support Israel and to try to be as helpful as possible. But it was astonishing to me because I had so many conversations, and frankly, they often started as confrontations with students, not just at Columbia, but elsewhere.
"Where were they getting their information?
They were getting it from social media. They were getting it most particularly from TikTok, which is governed by an algorithm until at least up till now, still largely manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party.

He would often do that thing that Conservatives do where someone comes up with a good idea that goes against his world view, and he would come up with one of those stupid hypothetical scenarios to show the good idea could have a bad outcome.

The medical treatment for septic uterus, eptopic pregancies and a miscarriage that the body cannot release is abortion

Without the medical procedure of an abortion for these medical emergencies, women die

This Far Right anti-abortion shtick has nothing to do with human rights

It’s misogyny, 101
