We forgot OJ, musk, Cancun Cruz or 🍊🍄?
This is the point, and this is why the crosswalk is guarded by police officers on the cushiest overtime gig in human history. The state of florida supports queer massacres. Ron DeSantis wants more of them. THAT’S the message here.
As born Floridian who always felt born of the other America and ashamed of my state of birth I feel this in my bones…
80 years later the NYT can’t face it’s simping for nazi’s shame…
That’s a worthy ideal but would struggle against possibility currently. It splits effort and resources. In the near to mid term the focus needs to be on one. We can’t even get the current specialist education to all equally or safely currently.
I think that would have to wait until we have agreement that people should have housing, and food health as right. Then we can get to secondary needs.
Ahh the “renaissance man”. LA should be taught more and emphasized more but everyone isn’t interested in everything and that’s ok. We would need to provide much more leasure time and allow less production if we wanted a society full of generalists. US can’t even provide basics for everyone.
They were mid-tier players known for being contrarians. They were given power because of loyalty, not competency. So now, they lie: CDC didn’t insist schools close — decisions were local. The CDC didn’t “push cloth masks for three years” — but their idiot base has retconned that into reality.
RFK Jr. rushing to the White House with a wheelbarrow full of beef tallow to save the President
Admitting you make enough money you could care less what the tariff percentages are, but while complaining about the uncertainty is a bit rich.
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
The devastating flu epidemic of 1918 was particularly dangerous for young adults, for people in their prime, who died by the millions. But RFK Jr. is too stupid to know that. Link below.
Balkanization of a failed federal state with minoritarian rule…
I’m a little surprised that the refusal of CDC Director Susan Monarez to go quietly and the resignations of other top CDC officials eclipsed rather than amplified the FDA anti-science decision to deny healthy Americans access to the annual COVID booster. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
Shame VA has to wait to get out of the grips of “I could care less about people who didn’t vote for me” Trumpkin to even think about joining the better America again.
No one person of the political in this administration is remotely qualified….
I’m taking a short break from my smoldering anger at Trump & Friends for the irreparable harm they are doing to human and planetary health to chuckle at this headline…
Look Charlie I found 🐂 💩 mountain it’s magical there with all the white hoods…
So close to the point…
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Thanks to America’s ever shifting trade policies and Trump, LEGO has stopped shipping more than 2,500 pieces from its Pick a Brick program to both the United States and Canada. 🔗 www.404media.co/lego-stops-s...
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
This is RFK Jr.'s doing. He must go. He's coming for your children's vaccines next. The US is going to be one, big Petri dish soon enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
This scene from Rogue One perfectly sums up the experience of living in America, right now.
How many times do we need to see “white nationalist” mass murder before we are allowed to admit it’s a problem?
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
“Maximum Lethality”…
What “warriors” look like…
I want a presidential candidate who promises to construct Union memorials and statues all over the country. And yeah, North and South. Blanket Virginia with statues of Thomas, who actually chose the right side. Hell, put one of Sherman in the middle of Peachtree Park.
Horrible, but not shocking at all...
Mostly because of human nature and transition periods never ending because power is rarely given up voluntarily. I think there is place for a regulated private industry and government owned industries. I think there are places where each make most sense.
I hate the people who say all socialists are communists. That's very important in the US. It is a naked political ploy they use to invalidate any left of center policy. Reality is most the US sees communism as evil. I don't think think a full classless society is viable.
And that's ok. I hate socialist = communist. I just think I am more a socal Democrat in my beliefs and don't think communism in whole works in the real world as intended. Some people seem think that's attacking them. It's just like my opinion.
You can't make it up MAGA Congressman Derrick Van Orden-a huge supporter of the Big Ugly Bill Who published this repugnant post cheering the fact that the law would gut Medicaid and SNAP Is now BEGGING the Democratic governor of his state To save the very hospitals that he just voted to close
I feal like each one of these items is it's own sequence of posts just to fully grasp. None of this even touches on legacy media just continously marching us off cliffs for "balance". Politics have never been clear or simple things and pretending there is no better or worse is bad.
Clinton had mostly mixed government. The damage from Nixon and Regan can't be overstated. Bipartisanship should of been ridiculous in the aughts. There are too many politicians who been around so long that wasn't completely unreasonable to them though. The conservative capture of the legal system.
Manufacturers haven't really no, manufacturering workers yes but were probably going to decline, it's declining everywhere. The Dems had maybe two windows in my life were they could do anything that they wanted. They were very short windows. Are there horrible Dems yes.
I'm not willing to give any money or creadance to Grok so more than happy to take Google's word for it...
The result was a given just who would get extra in the process and who would say I need to not vote for this was in question. But the whole lot of GQP have zero principles except bigotry and tax cuts for the ruch/Corps.
That grok answer...
The oh we didn't cut it directly but we have to cut it from no reason, except the partisan billionaire hand out bill we just passed thing? Or something else?
Ouch
Trumpism is basically a merger of gleefully heartfelt malevolence and cynical grubby grifting, and the future of the republic would appear to hinge on which one of those impulses will predominate over the next 3 years. Weird to find myself rooting for "cynical grubby grifting," but here we are.
That people mehed and ignored everyone trying to warn you about what you will get from him. It's exactly as bad as the Simpsons Dole V Clinton episode and it's really hard not too be very exasperated with it. There is no chance we would be anywhere near this level of fucked if she was elected.
Tell me you didn't actually pay attention to Harris's campaign policys or campaign at all without telling me. To say you wanted more change or some of it was bad is a fair criticism but they run on nothing?
Do we need to tap the sign? Look Dems aren't perfect and politics need to be fixed. Only one party is doing the things they are doing now it's extreme miopic to even say they are both the same economically. It also leaves alot of context of the table.
The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin wants to destroy American democracy. With the Trumpian right embracing strongman rule, his ideas have found mainstream purchase.
Was pi and trig even common knowledge in Italy when they named it? If not this wouldn't be dumb but actually absurd.
Why are national media complaining that people are being unfair when they point out that supporting increasing starvation for tax cuts is evil not just a "political opinion"?
holy shit a guy who was born in Uganda listed himself as African American on an old college application this is certainly bigger news than the concentration camp in Florida
“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”
weird that jamelle pointing out that the reporters didn't do their due diligence and were platforming a eugenicist violates social media standards
This is the most disingenuous and insipid thing of the day maybe the year. Congratulations on enabling this human rights violation of a ragime.
Only hope is that they are too inept to actually spend the money or waste it on things that don't do what they think it will. In summary we be ducked.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Ha yeah I think they were unironcly communists, but yeah the rocks for brains that think everything I don't like is communists is super dumb too.
I'm not trying to argue but some people here will call you crazy for saying that. With no actual proof as to why that's crazy.
Can you though?
Striping the freedom from immigrants and citizens they don't like to them make slaves. According to GQP and SQCOUS awesome, constitutional, and not like 1930s Germany at all....
Ahem -- I think you misspelled REPUBLICANS. Let's be VERY clear who voted for this shitty bill. Because it wasn't the opposition party. Saying Congress did it very much plays cover for them and we shouldn't put up with that nonsense.
How many fucking times do we have to let them get away with doing the thing and then getting to say it wasn't me?
Yikes simpling for starvation as an acceptable belief and not a moral failing.
I'm not sure we are ready for a rapid storm development off the GA/Carolina coast...
How do they get claim they hate the bill before and after while voting for it? In a year at least half the elected R will be saying they never liked it and pretend it's the D's fault. Zero of the press will report this as a lie or hypocritical that it is. Do they believe themselves?
1. At the Tipping Points conference in Exeter yesterday, I spoke about the likelihood of food system collapse: a massive existential threat few people's radar. If you want a handle on the issue, here's the submission I made to a parliamentary committee. + 🧵 www.monbiot.com/2023/03/09/t...
God a whole year of absolute ahistorial bull poop spewing from the WH I don't know if History blue sky has enough achohol to make it...
Why would young Han be as charismatic as experienced Han? Cocky sure but he literally hadn't done almost anything yet. To think that characters can't grow or change seems weird?
Really with CBS being center right it was surprising it took this long. They have been sane washing right wing nonsense with both sideing for so long. They have been happy to ignore so much and rarely push back as long as the people who go there can pretend to not be too extreme.
So do I.
And Medicare because of sequestration...
*first ethnic cleansing political prisoners
“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”
GQP of the augts torture is OK if it's terrorists for Intel. GQP of 2025 torture is ok for any reason if you don't look "western European"...
"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.
And cable news, times and posts were just twiddling their thumbs ignoring the obvious so they could enable it all.
Almost like everyone who was saying they were saying what they would do were ducking paying attention...
In October 2024, multiple top-tier media outlets told me their editors wouldn't approve stories on our Project 2025 modeling because Trump disavowed the plan. And here we are. heated.world/p/this-is-ex...
i'm reading this charles sumner speech from february 1866 and my dude is cooking
This will also make our switch be more dramatic later hurting causing a collapse of an entire sector instead of a draw down. It was already gonna be rough for dirty energy, now it will be brutal.
Tech really saw the challenge of our time and said what if we make it worse. Slowing the clean energy transistion. Is gonna raise electricity costs. Hurt the health of the country. Make the impacts cost more. Stop any chance of having local green energy industry.
Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Dachau in July 1933... reported in the New York Times timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...
“An Iranian woman who has lived in the United States for 47 years, has no criminal record, and is married to a US citizen was detained by ICE as she gardened outside her New Orleans home.” ht: @timmiller.bsky.social www.nola.com/news/politic...
What in all that is holy he'll is that question? Does CNN have CTE?
Yeah domestic car manufacturers, drivers and the public will be screwed.
