No one is covering the GOP's growing redistricting scheme as closely, with as much context and analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you independent pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
It's so hard to find a legitimate horrifying/scary movie. I feel like the illusion is easily shattered especially after seeing so many. These days I focus on horror games. Turn off the lights, wear some diapers, put on a pair of headphones and enjoy.
History truly keeps repeating itself. They went for the trans people, then immigrants and it sounds like next are the homeless. I do wonder if we will witness a 2nd Holocaust in our lifetime. Not something I ever thought I'd have to consider or be prepared for. Thanks a lot Obama.
Yeah but he meant only leftist homeless people so it's okay. - Some Republican
If Charlie Kirk spent his time and resources trying to get young people to vote for candidates that proposed more strict gun legislation and mental health care, he'd be alive today. He chose to use his power to ensure people on his "team" got elected and ultimately, that led to his death.
The same way we declare war on them by trying to get them healthcare, a living wage, and free education. How dare we, we're monsters!
Lol. I'd bet my life on the fact that Dems won't do shit. Their spines were thrown out long ago and replaced with dollar bills.
Lol are you blind and deaf or just violently ignorant? This is as much on Dems as it is on the GOP, including foolish liberal voters. This is what you get when you go with centrism, it stands for nothing. At BEST, Dems are Center, but they're closer to Center Right.
Just wait, I'm sure AIPAC Shakur will get his marching orders from daddy Israel to stop the fascist takeover.... any day now...
They're not lowering it because they want to, retail is slowing down, so wholesalers are reducing prices to push shit out the door. This is absolutely fucked and not good news.
It's why I refuse to take my baby to a restaurant until he stops crying every couple of hours. I'll suffer at home on my own, no need for others to have to experience that unwillingly.
It's because of our unhealthy obsession with famous people. Just because they're on TV doesn't make them smarter or worth our attention.
This explains it better than I can
Even if said person incited violence and hatred which will have an indirect effect on others lives? Anyone pushing support for trump and getting people to vote/support him at this point is a Nazi as far as I'm concerned and only good Nazi is a dead one. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
What else is new? George Carlin said it best, "it's a big club and you ain't in it". MSM is there to protect the wealthy, the pedos, the donors, the politicians, it's not there to inform or push back against them. Independent media is the only way forward.
The NYT and other MSM outlets have been normalizing and sane washing trump for 10 years. They've had bad and questionable reporting on him many times. These institutions cannot be trusted, they do not write against power, but for it.
"us" says the world's second richest man. The level of stupidity you have to achieve to think musk is out to help anyone but himself is astonishing.
I think it's naive to say violence is never the answer. When those in power take away our power, violence becomes the only answer. At what point do we realize they won't let us have anything unless we take it, and seemingly by force. Look to Nepal for an example. We're not far off.
I'll most likely wait for the next Steam Deck. I already have the SD OLED and a ROG Ally X. Performance in the Z2E doesn't seem worth upgrading at this point. Looking for double the performance when I finally upgrade.
It's because individual action will never be enough. This stuff needs to be legislated and enforced. I'd much prefer the junk I buy that I don't need is produced in an ethical way. Maybe someday we'll have some politicians that give a damn about human decency and dignity.
It's too involved for most gamers but I agree, it's pretty dang fun. Combat is meh but I'm only about 4 hours in.
If you tried to actually be completely ethical in your consumerism, you'd never buy anything or spend 5x the price. I'm not condoning it, but at this point every product is fucked up in some form or another. Let's get rid of billionaires and start taxing the wealthy out of existence.
Is anyone surprised anymore? Millions of people apparently support pedophilia as long as money is being made and their side wins.
Highly recommend a steam deck for AA, older, or light weight AAA games. It's my favorite device for clearing out my backlog.
"America first" - aka let every other world power make advancements and progress while we go back to the dark ages. Hey MAGA, how them egg prices? 😂
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Yes, this is the strength and fight that Democrats need. They have to be unapologetically aggressive against Trump and his fascism.
There's no racism or sexism stopping Democrats from fighting back. They choose not to because their donors don't tell them to. They're the representatives of the wealth class. That's all it is, nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah it's the racism that's making him ineffectual. 🙄 Mfs make any excuse in the book when the obvious answer is staring you in the face. 💲💲💲💲
Exactly lol. It literally would not have mattered. As NYC mayor and a Muslim, yes that would carry weight. As a random NYC assemblyman, almost 0 difference.
Don't bother with them, they don't actually understand electoral politics or data. There was literally a record turn out in 2024 but, yeah, it was the purity test lmao.
No, already told you the problem. I'm genuinely triggered by your ignorance and stupidity.
A NYS senator and congressman endorsing a NYC mayoral candidate carries weight with independents and those on the fence. Mamdani endorsing Harris at best would've gotten her a few 100 votes in his district, if that lol .
You don't actually understand how politics works so there's no point in continuing this conversation. If you think Mamdani endorsing Harris in 2024 would've made any difference, then you clearly weren't paying attention nor do you understand electoral politics.
I don't think it was important for some random no name assemblyman in some random NYC district to endorse one of the most talked about politicians in the year 2024. 🙃 Almost as if endorsements only carry weight from those in power. Learn something.
Again, why would a random NYC assemblyman have to endorse the presidential candidate? What is the purpose of that? Who is it for? He had no power during the 2024 election. Do you understand what an endorsement is? Lmao. You did hit a nerve for sure. The stupidity of your comparison is triggering.
155 million More than 155 million people cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election. It's second only in U.S. history to the 2020 election. Turnout in 2024 represented 63.9% of eligible voters, the second-highest percentage in the last 100 years,
No, there was no record number of people NOT voting. In fact, the opposite is true. 2024 in politics, by the numbers : NPR
What? Lmao. JFC no wonder the left is losing. Why would a random NYC assemblyman have to endorse Harris? That makes absolutely no sense. What a silly comparison. How is NY senators and congressmen not endorsing the Dem candidate for Mayor the same thing as an assemblyman endorsing Harris? 🤪
Is it? Which Dems are fighting back? Are they fighting back in-between voting for his nominees? Or in between letting departments shut down? Or in between cutting funding for child cancer research?
Yeah, and they're all idiots. Trump voters and non voters are all to blame for this shit storm we're in. With that being said, not like there was a record of people not voting this time so it's not about Harris passing a purity test, that wasn't the issue.
How bout them liberals that are refusing to endorse Mamdani? Seems like they're willing to let a Republican/independent win instead of endorsing him. Sounds like burning it all down unless it's their choice for candidate 🧐
That's just not true. Every movement has their fringes but the vast majority of us understand that trump is a fascist and Harris was the better choice. As a Palestinian, I voted for Harris. It's our fault that the prograsive way is objectively more conducive to a fulfilling human life. 😂
If they're not full on anti fascist, anti billionaire, willing to prosecute the fascists, then we need to ignore them because they're not serious.
The terms may not mean the same thing anymore but I'd still pick a Dem over GOP any day. I just think we need to stop supporting Dems who aren't willing to go full leftist/progressivism, or social democracy. Whatever the term is, they need to be populist and give the people what they want.
Look at polling, people want free healthcare, education, higher wages, less income inequality. These are all leftist ideals.
Maybe we have different definitions of leftism. Yes, we've had some disappointments but when you actually run on leftist ideals and don't back down, you gain the support of the masses. Mamdani came out of nowhere and won a Dem primary in NYC because he stuck to his ideals and doubled down.
If you're still identifying as a liberal and not a progressive at this point, you don't understand what's at stake. We either go full throttled leftism or we end American democracy. The GOP uses every dirty tactic to block progress. I don't see the Dems doing a damn thing.
There's like 5 Dems fighting back, the rest are sleep walking to a full on fascist takeover. The Dem "leaders" are the most useless sacks of shit in our government right now.
Easy to be scared of everything when you're stupid as fuck. 🤷♂️
Anyone half paying attention to trump and his policies knew this was coming since 2016.
I love how shook these rich grifting pricks are. Democratic socialists are going to start popping up all over the country and all they're gonna be able to do is cry about it. Talk about snowflakes. 🙄
I wonder what our limits are as a society. People are celebrating the opening of a concentration camp, wonder if it's too late...
They're throwing everything at the wall hoping it'll stick. Unfortunately, it won't work. The establishment is going to be sweating from now until November. Let's give them a reason to stay scared.
🤣 that was
Are you trying to make billionaires cry?
While your feelings are understandable, you're objectively wrong. It's not a matter of opinion, it's fact. Look at how both parties vote, those are tangible differences. Are they different sides of the same coin? Absolutely! But to claim they're the same is not true.
Wait, you mean it's a bad idea to support someone who killed 1000s of elderly folk with his covid policy and was credibly accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women? I can't accept that! But have you considered he was tough on trump? All should be forgiven!
Nice, sexual predator endorses sexual predator for mayor! Amazing how the establishment will always coalesce when a real change candidate is running for office and has a chance to win. They did it to Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and now to Mamdani.
I wonder why so many billionaires and corporations are trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from winning the NYC Mayoral race. It's almost as if they stand to lose money if he does 🤔. They're shook about that measly 2% wealth.
Couldn't even finish One Pace 😭
Funded by your tax dollars.
I wonder if the Israeli media asks politicians their opinions on what's going on in NYC as much as the US media asks about Israel.🤔
Only a matter of time before we're attacked and it will be on every single politician in office that is allowing this to happen. Our "leaders" are fucking clowns.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of my favorite "J" RPGs. I feel like it may beat out FF7 (OG) for me. This is what happens when a company isn't beholden to shareholders. It allows the company to focus on gameplay and story, not monetization.
They'd have to actually give a shit about the country first.
Yet we haven't lost them yet so why are we waiting for that to happen and making excuses for loser candidates who couldn't get the job done properly?
I'm sure women's rights and the civil rights were just pipe dreams too. 🤷♂️
No one is tripping but you, thinking you have a clue what you're talking about lol.
She had more campaign spending and money from corporate PACs than trump. Apparently money wasn't the factor here, so she should've went the other way. Been actually populist. Campaign with Walz more instead of Liz fucking Cheney. She even lost 1% of the republican vote! Bernie dominated with small $
We can demand our leaders stop taking corporate money and only put those in power that commit to that. We can all collectively stop paying taxes. I guess protesting too, although I find that useless. What you're suggesting is giving up. Go find your bunker, good luck. 👍
There are other fixes and it is quitting. You're not fighting back, you're laying down and letting whatever happens happens. There will be some Luigi copy cats, I'm sure of that. We also have midterms in 2 years, at least take back the house (assuming we can still vote), we can do a national strike
Um okay what? Did she take 0 corporate pac money? Did she speak out against corporations? Did she say she wants to raise taxes on billionaires or the top 0.1% of earners? Nope, she didn't. So I don't get your point or maybe you don't understand mine.
Ah, the quitters approach. Well bye then. Peace off and good luck in another country I guess 🤷♂️✌️. Always good to get rid of hope first because then winning never seems possible. “It always seems impossible until it's done”.
And protests will? Lmao.
The working people who voted for trump are fools but are going to suffer along with the rest of us. We need leadership that unifies people against the common threat of corporations and billionaires. Without that, it's a meaningless resistance. We either come together against them or it's over. 🤷♂️
Oh right! They should instead just keep sucking off billionaires and selling us out. Good point 👍
Hey, give them a break, you'd have a hard time getting around without a spine too!
Announce they will no longer be corporate puppets and stop taking their money. Start only funding their campaigns with small donor donations and fight back against corporations. You're either on the side of the working people, or the corporations. It's that simple.
👍
Well you don't have a picture as a profile so it was a 50/50 guess on my part. Calm down lol. Intent matters.
Then I'm not referring to you my Canadian brother. You're almost as fucked as we are because of this psycho.
If you voted for trump, yes. If you just misunderstood me, then no. It's really that simple. Someone tells you what they're gonna do and you deny it then act surprised when it happens. What do you call that?
You = any person that voted for trump. He said what he was going to do, we saw project 2025, people around trump voters warned them, with FACTS and none of that swayed them. That's what I can a fucking idiot. 🤷♂️
Corporate* media. Call it what it is. It's a class war and they're not on our side.
Oh nah, it's 100% their fault for voting for him. You gotta be a special kind of fucking stupid to have voted trump.
H.R.55 - they're coming after voting rights. Hitler took over in less than 60 days, trump is trying to beat him. I don't think people grasp how badly shit is about to hit the fan. Everything you love about America will disappear, and everything you hate will be in full force. Strap in, we're fucked.
Just asking questions 🤔
➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!
Rep. Jasmine Crockett continues to be on 🔥 #ResistTrump
"not really their fault". So who's fault is it that a bunch of adults living in the year of our lord 2025 still have no idea how to utilize technology to get their message out?
Why can't right wingers stop fucking little kids? They love shooting and fucking them, why is that? Why is that so rampant on the right? Ofc being a perv is not exclusive to the right, it's just so damn prevalent amongst them, you've got to wonder why...
They are about to have a bunch of "DEI" hires. What happened to merit? He wants the White House to be a safe place for him and his snowflake sycophants.
I played the demo and enjoyed it. I'm waiting for reviews first though. Sometimes games seem better in demos so I want to see more about it before committing.
Poor Jordan, he has to do this for at least another 4 years. I would've lost all my brain cells talking to those clowns.
Wikipedia isn't legacy media, such a stupid statement. Not surprised though coming from the richest idiot.
The Overton Window is so far to the right that media companies are normalizing fascism. Billionaires are willing to destroy democracy around the world just to buy a few more yachts and jets.
