$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

One of the things that kept me alive when I was dirt fucking poor was a buddy of mine who worked at a nearby gas station let me have "free refills" of Dr. Pepper as long as I brought my own cup.

Most days, that was my lunch.
Anti-EBT people have never really struggled and you can tell. "OMG! You're buying cookies & soda? With OUR money?"

Like, yeah, dickcheese. Those are calorie dense foods, which is exactly what you need when you're trying to survive.

Some people need others to suffer so their efforts feel validated.

If you need to explain to an idiot why Tolkien would have despised these goons, I have already grabbed a picture of the relevant passage (and I doubt I was the first):

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

This is how they claim you were 'over the line'. They pull you over and start the riot for themselves.
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

A kid handing you a book & asking you to read it to them is the same as being knighted. Like of course. It’s an honor to serve you, m’lord

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Tax the Mellon like it's 1979!
Billionaire Tim Mellon sent $130M of his $14.1B to fund US military salaries during the Govt shutdown

1. This covers 1/3 of military payroll for 1 day

2. DOD has a $1T budget. $130M is .013% of that

3. Mellon can casually part with $130M—he can be taxed at a 91% marginal tax like during 1940-1980

Turns out, “trust me bro” isn’t a plan.
ABC's pre-election tax gimmick threatens the delivery and quality of vital public services.

They ignored public feedback in the City Budget survey, which showed support for tax rates that would prevent cuts to services.

This is no way to govern a city.

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk:

- 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi
- basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing
- each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

Do not sit down if there is police or fascist violence

do not use milk to wash mace or tear gas out of your eyes ever. Only use water or saline.
