it is impossible to overstate the extent to which this country is now being run by people you would leave a party rather than talk to for five minutes
they hate music, they hate art, they hate artists, they hate pop, they hate the video games they play, they hate the movies they watch, like, they're just all the worst fucking people you've ever met, none of them believe in anything

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

if there’s a “distraction” it’s that they even bother to do the normal everyday stuff of the executive branch, and even that seems to have fallen away in favor of TV hits announcing roll outs of federal troops to American cities and showcasing MAGA influencers in the WH press corps

after nearly a year of covering mostly what gets labeled a Trump administration “distraction”—threatening immigrants and trans people; empowering white nationalists —you know what if (what if), that being what Trump ran on and what Trump is doing, this is the actual substance of the Trump presidency

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

Once again, it is a huge problem that if you were to straightforwardly describe what the government is doing and saying to someone who hasn’t been paying attention, they would think you were an obvious liar
I don't think normal people have any idea that the US Government just talks this way now.
It's not just Trump and some rando podcasters (which is bad enough). It's our government. In a democracy. Ours.

I was just thinking of this quote by Kurt Vonnegut the other night - “You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society.”
There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before
but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

So one, this is sliding into eugenics. But two, they can’t do that. They’re lying if they say they can. “Intelligence” is not a single gene trait you can test for in an embryo. These are quacks making false promises to make money from people’s fears about parenting
I saw this ad on the train and I’m curious how yall feel about it… I’m very much in the center, but slightly more towards than against…
