the reason this meme resonates is because the democratic party keeps showing they have a real ideological commitment to imperial violence whereas their support for vulnerable minorities is paper thin and only lasts as long as doing so remains convenient
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

universities are our preeminent institutions of knowledge but we turned all our largest colleges into hedge funds which happen to teach on the side & school presidents into guys whose main qualification is their ability to be chummy enough with zillionaires to get them to cut the school huge checks
The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.
Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

speaking of how NYT platforms lies & cheats i'm thinking again about how Nick Kristof left the NYT to run for gov. of OR despite being manifestly ineligible on account of having not lived in the state for yrs but nonetheless pocketed millions in campaign donations—then the NYT gave him his job back
what do you even do about journalists like this. biggest megaphone on the planet at the times and choosing to promote lies. it doesn't do shit if we all block her, and we can only cancel subs so many times.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election?
And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

jeffries not only knows that this is a lie—he's demonstrated that he knows it's a lie because when a backbencher dem tried to introduce articles of impeachment it caused a panic in dem leadership who immediately bullied the guy into dropping the impeachment motion
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case."
This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

the most optimistic outlook is that the Constitution isn't *dead* rather that it's 'merely' in abeyance
that perhaps even though the country is currently operating under a lawless government there might be a future date where these villains are deposed & the Constitution can be restored

the central thesis of the biden administration was "the Trump Fever is about to break" and they spent four years adamantly refusing to recognize that trump *is* the republican party
dems spent 4 previous years post-failed coup trying to segregate the GOP into MAGA and non-MAGA factions and work to rehabilitate and normalize the non-MAGA ones as an effort to marginalize the MAGA faction. it was a disaster and they cannot do it again.

trump's pardons aren't real because his presidency isn't real because he's been Constitutionally ineligible to hold office ever since he assaulted the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election
And if you do that, as we must, it's not just pardons that are null. It's everything. No appointments are valid. No orders were real. No laws were validly signed. It all falls into a constitutional interregnum in which nothing he's done counts as legitimate, akin to the South under the Confederacy.

i once got a check from a class-action lawsuit because walmart admitted they had been stealing their employee's wages
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

The types of businesses that engage in wage theft and other overall shadiness towards employees are far more likely to be mom and pop small businesses than large multinational conglomerates.
