Unapologetically me. Never said I was good; always working to be better. I'm a Cynic. I reject the social value of wealth, fame & power. Didn't ask for white-male, cis-het, privilege but it exists. So let's use it to fuck "normie" shit up shall we?

I'm not a Democrat or Republican.

I'm a fucking human being that thinks all human beings deserve the same rights.

ANYONE selling out or compromising the marginalized is my enemy.

This is fundamental to who I am.

And yeah....
I'll march for it.
I'll bleed for it.
I'll die for it.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

I noticed that too. Now it's Seth Meyers gaining more traction.

Another prime example of caucasity.

I'm seeing a whole lot less outrage for the journalists of color who have been systematically discarded at places like NBC and CBS (and across journalism, really) than the response to Jimmy Kimmel's 5-day suspension.

J. Hamilton Hatch @jhamiltonhatch.bsky.social · 2d

I despise ALL AI art but if you post a video with the GD Sora watermark that's an auto-block.

You are helping to distort and destroy reality for the feeble minded among us who already struggle with basic truth you stupid chuckle fucks.

It isn't funny or cute.

YOU are the fucking problem.

I think I'd like to know what you think the "economy" is exactly.

Zero surprise that you'd go with an attack on personal appearance.

You're about as deep as a kiddie pool.

I am not going to argue with you about something that is well reported.

Feel free to mute me, block me...whatever feels right to you.

Every single one of these are hiring seasonal workers.

They fired white collar workers.

awkward (I guess)...but true

J. Hamilton Hatch @jhamiltonhatch.bsky.social · 3d

Remember that post yesterday about how "informed" people are?

Yeah...so...This is a perfect example of how "informed" is woefully insufficient to explain things.

ALL of these companies are hiring seasonal workers.

ALL OF THEM.

They laid off white collar workers.
People are willfully ignorant.

Cav(R), Gentleman Rogue @combatcavscout.bsky.social · 3d

Guys, stop with all the pessimism about the economy. It’s doing great. You can tell because UPS, Amazon, and Target are all planning to lay off thousands of people right before the largest shopping and shipping holiday of the year.

This utter piece of shit thinks $80 a week is more than enough to stockpile a months worth of groceries and eat.

I would inflict upon him the same cruelty and harm he so casually dismisses.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 4d

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Rep. Clay Higgins:

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average.
Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries.
Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

J. Hamilton Hatch @jhamiltonhatch.bsky.social · 3d

$80 dollars a WEEK?! This asshole has obviously not been to a grocery store recently.

This was the EXACT premise the Nazis publicly used for every concentration camp. This is how they "sold" it to the German people.

Every city used to have two major newspapers. They were usually born from opposing views.

Now you're lucky if you have one online version of a newspaper.

When the uninformed are forced to seek their own facts then confirmation bias becomes truth and we end up where we are now.

George Conway 🇺🇸🚫👑🐸 @gtconway.bsky.social · 4d

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 5d

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

J. Hamilton Hatch @jhamiltonhatch.bsky.social · 3d

Name ONE "news" outlet that hasn't platformed shitty takes for clicks, views or ad sales?

I'll wait

J. Hamilton Hatch @jhamiltonhatch.bsky.social · 3d

People allowed the truth to become subjective in exchange for notoriety.

It's the Nexus of Warhol's 15min and Moore's Law

To say in this day that someone is or isn't informed ignores the fundamental question of whether their information is credible.

We sold a FUCK TON of TV ads..Yay capitalism?!

Dear #LosAngelesDodgers,
I hope there are meaningful consequences for your pitcher #BlakeTreinen, for his outrageous disrespect, not only for the team, and the uniform, but for tainting sports with politics.

A fucking aquarium in Syracuse NY is was and will always be a really dumb idea.

REALLY, REALLY dumb.

And now it costs more and more like we said it would.

Something tells me someone in the County offices played Sim City too much and thought it bore resemblance to reality.

both parts of this matter:

this would be a near ban in all states; there’s a runway here where fighting back helps hold up falling sky for trans kids. every day matters.

& if you’re like “it’ll be fine—they’ll just wait til after trump” i want you to recall what happened to *your* body from 14-17.

A near ban in all states
Both supporters and opponents of transgender rights agree that, taken together, the forthcoming rules could make access to pediatric gender-affirming care across the country extremely difficult, if not impossible.
The care is already banned in 27 states.
"These rules would be a significant escalation in the Trump administration's attack on access to transgender health care," says Katie Keith, director of the Center for Health Policy and the Law at Georgetown University.
"I think it's really, really important to note that nothing is changing immediately," she explains.
"These would be proposals that would go out for public comment, it would take months for the Trump administration to issue a final rule, and then, if past is prologue, we would see litigation over whatever the final rules are."
