Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

It's going to be so funny if we just never have a Gen X president. I'm guessing it's going to go: President JD Vance (Millennial, b. 1984) followed by President Rachel Griffin-Accurso (Millennial, b. 1982) then President Jimmy Donaldson (Gen Z, b. 1998)
This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly

One of Afghanistan's worst earthquakes killed more than 800 people and injured at least 2,800, authorities said, as helicopters ferried the wounded to hospital after they were plucked from the rubble of homes being combed for survivors reut.rs/41w58S6
🧵Labor Day is a chance to remember all unions have done for America. "The first labor union in the United States was the the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers (leather workers and cobblers), founded in 1794." The union crumbled in 1806, when owners won a lawsuit charging workers with..1/

He wants to see interaction, but autism is a communication disorder. He's mad there isn't a channel for him to exploit, therefore they are disabled. Anything so strongly represented in human population is there for reasons. It's our fault we haven't figured out what those reasons are yet
"The tale of the Kern resolution and what came afterward is a reminder that no political alliances are set in stone, and that the Democrats and progressives possess a pro-worker legacy that is readily available for revitalization." This Labor Day, check out the true story of our namesake:

The vaccine is about 100% effective if taken when needed. Treatment for most is about 100% ineffective.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

We confronted the 1% in one of the Hampton's most expensive restaurants. They kicked us in the neck. These are the people responsible for installing this fascist regime. The dystopian world Trump is making is a paradise for them, and them alone. They can't get away with it.
Happy Labor Day 🙂
Happy Labor Day.🤬
While Starbucks refuses to negotiate a contract for 570 unionized stores, it just paid CEO Brian Niccol 6,666x more than its median worker. "It says a lot about who they really value at that company and who they don’t,” says IPS scholar @sarahanderson.bsky.social.

2. There is irony here in that my little town used to be an important railway hub! But the last train came through here in the 80s. All the train tracks are bike trails now, or just simply disused. No public buses out here either. No public transport in general. Lots of the US is like this.

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
Can’t join a protest? Here are some alternatives to resist:
"But the dictator faces even greater pressure to lie about his health. Fascism is a fleeting attempt by a leader to eradicate time and pretend he has the power to inflict a permanent present set in the historical moment of his choosing."

Dead or alive, Rudy Giuliani brought “broken windows” policing to NYC. “Not only did broken windows policing fail to reduce crime, but it also provided cover for a deliberate targeting of Black and brown communities.” Why? The theory comes from rightwing think tankers
Essentially that's what he is saying. Humans make mistakes. Own them, don't blame them on a disability you haven't been diagnosed with. People will consciously or unconsciously continue to account for the "disability" and you will lose opportunities as a result of them accomodating your capabilities
Did you watch the video?
Macon Blair's take on 1984's gore-core classic is as much a movie about love of family as it is a violent shock comedy.

Wise advice to cities targeted or shall I say invaded by ICE Small towns are also seeing these unlawful kidnappings too Spread the word! All it takes to stop them is a few arrests Show the video to your local DA

You know they would love to make the big issues of their next candidates literally anything other than "prosecute every member of this administration, tax the living shit out of the billionaires who funded it, and start the 40 year process of fixing shit"
You can tell by how dem leadership is treating Mamdani that this is exactly what they will do, what they yearn to do: absolutely shoot themselves even harder in the dick than the last time.
Anything short of a wholehearted "fuck literally all of this, we are going to go Nuremburg on these freaks and then drain Elon dry to fund fixing this stuff" will lose, badly. And there's like zero chance the dems will even think to say that.
In 1885, royal Hawaiian brothers were studying at a military school in California. There, they introduced a sport known as "surfboard swimming." The Princes of Surf exhibit tells what happened next.
Many of us are still able to whine in public without fear of immediate reprisals. Many of us still have local power over our communities that is likely to be contested in somewhat fair elections. And we all have more power to communicate & connect—despite the billionaires—than any humans before us.

"To bet against the future on this scale – to bank on your bunker – is to betray, on the most basic level, our duties to one another, to the children we love, and to every other life form with whom we share a planetary home."
“We are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world… The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.” A must read:
Tech billionaires know that climate change is real, income inequality is horrific, and war is worsening. They want to accelerate it—to bring us to the brink of collapse—in hopes of ruling the ashes. Their ignorance is blinding. They think we’ll turn on each other. The truth: we’ll turn on them.
“Volkswagen Brazil was found guilty on Friday of subjecting workers to conditions “analogous” to slavery between 1974 and 1986 on a vast cattle ranch in the Amazon and ordered to publicly acknowledge the abuses and pay more than $30 million in damages.”

At some point, you're going to have the chance to make a deal with the devil: Get out of trouble, but agree to give up your agency in the process. I personally think you shouldn't take it, regardless of your politics. Allow me to explain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5Ky...

One of my officers was a platoon leader in the 82nd sent to NO. We sat there one night in Iraq as he told us about watching in NVGs all the corrupt cops loot homes while the city was still under evacuation orders. It continues to radicalize us.

I try to sneak into the guarded outpost but the sound of my cheeks clapping alerts the guards. They all begin shouting "Someone's prowling round here" and patrolling. I crouch still, waiting for their triangles to go back to yellow, but at the last moment my gyat jiggles. "Someone's prowling ro

Your stealth archer sits down and begins massaging their legs. Slowly the guards start saying "must have been the wind" and quieting down again. Damn, that was close, now to get back up and FUCK MY QUADS. oh no you forgot to fully rest them. The "I thought I heard something" chorus begins again.
Your stealth archer has gotten into the fort, and is sneaking into position for a kill shot when ARGH FUCK MY QUADS ARE ON FIRE BRO blasts out from a bush. Suddenly every guard is on edge, a chorus of "I thought I heard something"s erupts like bird song
Mod for video games where your character crouches to stealth, that makes your character start loudly screaming "argh my fucking quads bro, they're burning dude, my quads are on fire bro" after stealthing for a short time. The length of time is a function of their stealth and endurance stats.

Okay, my 101-year-old grandfather is really enjoying the responses he’s gotten here, so I’ve finally convinced him to let me share something he’s been working on for years; a series of sculptures he calls “Trumpinnochios.” Here’s one of his best. I’ll share a few more in this thread.
