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.
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.
i've had this on my hard drive for literal years at this point, my time has come
So where is the enforcement of the law?
Other people who are clearly interested in running: — Pritzker — Beshear — Walz — AOC — Whitmer
Whenever it happens, it’s gonna be a great moment. Then reality is gonna set in when Peter Thiel becomes the puppet master and we’re reminded it’s not just one man that’s the source of our problems.
with a particular set of economic policies the US went from the depths of the great depression to dominant global superpower, subsequently the entire mainstream political spectrum resolved to never do anything like that ever again
You see, the main problem with Trump is the way he speaks (according to certain members of the political class), so mocking that is hashtag resistance.
Copium.
A lot of politically connected vendors literally made hundreds of millions of dollars off taxpayers through no bid contracts in just two months of Alligator Alcatraz operating. Waste, fraud, and abuse.
makes me feel slightly less insane to read this by @ahjohnson.bsky.social in @inthesetimes.com inthesetimes.com/article/new-...
For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society
Damn, I keep hearing great things about KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE 2 - pity it was directed by that annoying gamergater weirdo.
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...

Got interviewed by @marisakabas.bsky.social, check it out!
Someone post to Truth Social about his conspiracy to kill the president.
That's not really evidence of anything. Her actual policies and actions have been critical of the Dem establishment, so if they are paying her, it's backfiring pretty hard, lol.
The Toxic Avenger is clearing medical debt as marketing for the movie.
Kat Abu is absolutely not part of this, wtf are you talking about? She is one of the good ones.
This format is going to be like 60% of what journalism is in the next few years and, honestly, good! This is incredibly thorough. I do wonder when the major networks are gonna get the hint.

We’re being governed by monsters. Just absolute monsters.
What about gun control, Trey.
Starting at about 50 minutes, this is pretty remarkable.
"The oft-mentioned tyranny being opposed by gun owners is really just the sense that the wrong people are encroaching on the privileges and prerogatives of whiteness." From 2020:
Every blue state needs to institute a wealth tax yesterday to pay for this (and, ideally, a collab between them all to help coordinate this)

I'm just a normie who wants trans people and children to be protected, is the "far left" in the room with us?
This is VERY good. Prepare to care.

This is part of why fptp elections need to change in America.
grocery prices? going way WAY up next month. i had to increase retail on cans of ground coffee beans yesterday. i kid you not, the Maxwell House ones went up $15 entire dollars PER unit. if you got it for $14.99 yesterday, is it literally double that today. it's about to get ugly(er)
Wonder if it's worth it for her to hear some white supremacist tell her she's "one of the good ones."
how the democrats talk is under the microscope as the only thing that could possibly move the needle because them changing their policies is apparently unthinkable
About time to turn that gaze inward, don't ya think?
What's wild to me is that this is basically the same rot that has infected the nation since the Civil Rights Act.

Gotta close that loophole where someone can pretend to live elsewhere than NYC while owning property they never use in NYC.
The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
allow me to introduce you to Kent from Houston, who has a TikTok account dedicated to trying restaurants from cultures he hasn’t experienced before, anywhere his commenters tell him to go:
There's a reason I've got him in this list, and whenever I forget that reason he'll usually provide me with a new one
So shines a good deed in a weary world.
Daughters are safer riding the subway than being within 5 feet of Governor Grab-ass Chomo over here.
I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
It's not a purity test to demand a candidate supports trans rights. It's about the candidate's values and their ability to think for themselves (and self-interest for trans people and those who support them.)
What if instead of Albert Einstein it was Galbert Einstein and also it was she = mc²?
BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi. This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org. We ditched X for BlueSky early this year. And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof. I don't know what we'll do next. Keep up with us using our newsletter at mfp.ms/subscribe.
I agree with Bluesky’s decision because the law is insane, but we need to find a way to help these guys out. They do great work.
It's also about Palantir getting face data.
i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo
Policing language is never an effective tool to relate to people. The problem is not the language, it is the condescension.
A memo is not a scoop. Dems who follow this weak language cop bs deserve the reckoning that is coming for them.
It was already going down without the armed takeover.
How did the facts fail to reach her? Who is ignoring her and letting R's lie to her?
This is how you test loyalty. You lie, and if they support your lie, they are loyal and get to live inside the lie.
"We've created one of the most anti human, pro capital nations on earth. What gives? Why are ppl dying earlier???"

I don't care about the Cracker Barrel logo. I don't care about Sydney Sweeney's jeans. I don't care what a Labubu is. I just want you to have healthcare, food, and a safe place to sleep at night.

I reviewed the Onion's underseen masterpiece, SEX HOUSE, a pitch-black satire of sleazy reality TV and our cultural fascination with watching people degrade themselves for a shot at some insignificant sliver of fame. Magnificently funny and upsetting. www.patreon.com/posts/136900...
Trump is also throwing trans folks under the bus and destroying the belongings of unhoused people, so it's a lot like that.

Remember when he threw trans people under the bus and destroyed people's homes while smilin
I had a dream last night that I was fighting Jason Bourne, Will Hunting and Tom Ripley. After months of therapy I'm finally battling my Damons.
Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.
I deeply miss games journalism like this. We never knew what we had until we lost it.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
This might be the only way to push those gerrymanderers into having an equitable districting process.
Note to my fellow fellas: This kind of hyper-competitive performance of masculinity is just going to alienate you further.
What do you mean? Trump will probably still be in office in 5 years. He's not leaving except via an ambulance.
Remember when Gavin destroyed people's houses and smiled about it? Or when he threw trans people under the bus? Being good at social media vs. Trump doesn't mean he's a good person.
Europeans: Why aren’t you in the street? Why aren’t you doing a general strike? Me: Because my wife needs her cancer treatment Europeans: What
Whatever lets them do violence against black and brown people, really.
More wedge foolishness I guess
I wonder what Sylvester Graham thought when he learned about gooning in hell

What if you coalesced around political positions not people
He's licensed to ill?!
That's not something I said.
Trans people are not a sacrificial lamb and you can win without throwing them under the bus.

Men are taught to be dependant on a partner, which is why not having one is such a threat to goobers like this. Can't figure out other relationships with family, friends, community.....romance is nice, but it should not be the only relationship a dude depends on.
this is such a depressing misread of why Trumpism wins American voters aren't drawn to parables They want an enemy and they want to see that enemy hurt
If people stop fearmongering, and DJT doesn't send out the national guard or whatever, it'll probably be fine. Probably some stuff he'll do wrong (which media will overreact to) and some stuff he'll do right (which media will ignore). Good chance he'll be at least better than the last three.
He hasn't already failed as mayor of NYC, so he's got that above his main competitors.
It literally has a different goal than a business does. Thank you for your attention on this matter.
It works fine, it's socialism, it's not a bad model to try, and if that triggers you, then you're being used by people who are lying to you and should probably second guess a lot of what you've been told.
