18k+ elderly people get support from Salt Lake County services. I contacted them when my dad got sick. This is fucking ghoulish from the Salt Lake GOP and totally on brand

the thing that annoys me about the 'elections won't save us' shit is that it's just a permission structure to wait for a powerful national social movement, and in their want a violent one, that *will never fucking exist*.
winning elections is pretty much the only way to solidify the gains of social movements though. and winning them often enough that they can't be immediately repealed.
“Win every election” is not a viable strategy for preventing authoritarianism

weird how 'kicking Hitler's ass' in 1939 looked a lot like partioning Poland and supplying the German war machine
No one was- no one cared until 1939, the rest of the world leaders were fine as long as Hitler kept it in Germany. Stalin broke their little treaty to kick Hitlers ass. You know who was WAY on the wrong side? Japan, Italy & the USA. America didn't care till Japan hit the island they were colonizing.
You know what? I am convinced now that social media should have never existed. Not because it rots peoples’ brains, but because it has rotted YOUR brain. And you called it growth.
I swear to god if I mish mashed a bunch of sociological and philosophical terms so many people on here would worship me like they do the “intellectuals here.”
Nope, why am I getting on here? I don’t wanna melt my brain on people’s asinine takes because they think they’re smarter than we all actually are.

Every-time someone complains about “woke” I just assume that they don’t have actual problems. Must be nice to have time to worry about what other people may or may not be doing.

The rest of us have to work and have responsibilities. I have to hear it from my relatives and they’re retired and bored

This talking pt of "Americans aren't tough enough to do one day of agriculture field work" is such bull shit. It implies Hispanic workers are "built for hard labor" & doesn't acknowledge that it's ALWAYS been brutal work & the only reason ppl do it is out of desperation

resign you useless sack of shit
Hakeem Jeffries: "Donald Trump promised that he would lower housing costs on day one. Here's a suggestion for the Trump administration: try to legislate, and maybe we can find common ground in order to get something done for the American people."

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.
Striking: New Quinnipiac poll finds 56% of voters nationally oppose Trump's sending of National Guard into DC. Only 41% support it.

Independents oppose it by 61-34.

Trump's overall approval on crime is cratering at 42-54.

That sound you hear is a lot of dimwitted pundit narratives imploding.
I’m a disabled person struggling to find employment that has to rely on medicaid. But yeah, everyone that disagrees with you is a your perfect strawman. Not like I had actual stakes or anything.
I do not know how to tell you this, but I have lived in red states my entire life.
Okay, after further examination, this is another person that thinks that Trump is not that bad because he is a force of nature that is the natural result of the libs not doing enough for the volk. For some reason these people praise Stalin though.
It’s okay, marginalized people don’t live in cities anyways. Either that or these people think the 2024 election and it’s consequences didn’t happen.

The DC resistance isn’t manifesting this week as recognizable members of Congress marching up and down Pennsylvania Avenue with CNN cameras in tow, but as an array of ordinary DC residents documenting what’s happening in their neighborhoods and mobilizing pop-up actions.
The resistance is active in DC—you’re just not looking closely enough
It's not massive protests on Pennsylvania Avenue, but happenstance hecklers and Nextdoor posts.

I getcha, I feel the same way for a variety of reasons. That’s why I wish more people like us realized that we need each other. A new world, in whichever way, is possible if we just try to make a place for each other.

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
Political people really need to stop acting like they’re intelligent in other subjects. No, you don’t know how creative writing actually works just because you wanna see it done from a different angle!

jesus christ trump had a falling out with epstein because they were fighting over the supply of underage sex workers
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.

Will vote for the Democrat who promises to draft this plane on Day 1 into military service as a target drone for the Ukrainian Air Force.
CORRUPTION UPDATE: Donald Trump accepted a “free” luxury jet from Qatar.

A new report says taxpayers will be on the hook for up to $1 billion for renovations.

All for a jet that's going to his future Presidential Library.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Imagine being a politician or pundit who has used this excuse to back the Israeli government's siege and then the Israeli military throws you under the bus.
