If you're a Jill Stein voter or someone who chose not to vote because "both sides are bad", incidentally? Fuck off. Unfollow me, block me, whatever, but get your filthy interactions away from me.
I'm solidly in the pro-Tootsie roll camp. Used to get the bigass Tootsie roll stick things as my go-to gas station snack as a kid.

I'm helping. North America, tonight is it!

I dislike the discombobulation of either time change. But I will sleep well tonight.
Other politicians should take note: THIS is how you fight xenophobia. You don't try to change yourself to try and appease the xenophobes (nothing you do will do that anyway); you embrace it, and let them look like the backwards nutjobs that they are when they go even crazier.
Understandable. A lot of the people in this administration are vile scum, but their damage can be reversed relatively quickly (emphasis on *relatively*) once they're kicked the fuck out. But RFK Jr.? His shit will be hurting us for generations.

I hate him more than hate all the other assholes in power. He is an unprecedentedly dangerous threat to public health.
First RFK Jr. wanted to take fluoride out of water and has had some success in Republican jurisdictions that think scientific evidence is for chumps.

But that wasn’t enough harm for him, so now he’s restricting kids’ access to fluoride supplements.

What's simplest way to signal you have never read Great Gatsby and have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER of its main plot points?

I'd say: Posing a flapper outside 1920s car—which might even be yellow. As in first pic.

Like having a "Chekhov party" with a gun on the dinner table.

The cruelty. The ignorance.

Oh, I agree. But his 08 campaign was a model that worked wonders. Democrats went right back to losing as soon as they (including Obama) abandoned that model, pretty much as soon as the results were in.

Republicans understand that the best way to kill social programs is to paint their beneficiaries as Black, as support for these programs declines — even amongst white people who need them — when they think large numbers of Black people will benefit.

You have to be a real trashcan to use “AI” tools to make videos of cute babies and animals. If you can’t come up with an adequate supply of cute babies and animals using reality, you are, I repeat, a trashcan.

it’s ironic how nothing makes you sound more like you live in a weird little bubble than when you make the bizarre assumption that liberals in big cities have never interacted with a conservative before
The educated liberal big city US folks outraged at Trump's renovation of Lincoln bathroom really need to scroll some Facebook of their less established relatives and friends to see what kind of aesthetic resonates with Trump's target audience.

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 have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

As such, they're led by spineless windsocks who stand for nothing but their own paychecks. And as such, Democrats have been essentially lame ducks at best, even when they win, for at LEAST 30 years.
It's partly because the Republican party is structured around a core ideology (that being "white Christian nationalism/fascism) that they all agree with, and only bicker over the finer details, while the Democrats are the party of "everyone else.".

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

Emo about this. Taco John's is a treat when you live in Iowa and can't be going out to restaurants much. I know conservative assholes -- the same people who need to get Jesus out of their mouths -- are gonna be crashing this for their TikToks but whatever. Telling on themselves. Taco John's forever
It’s okay to be glad that restaurants are doing stuff like this AND absolutely furious about the utter failure of the United States government.
Unfortunately, Americans who follow American ideals have never been the majority, and have never held any real power.

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.
