So it’s worse than we thought
ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

(KRON) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Tuesday that it has settled claims of hazardous waste violations at an Apple microchip factory in Santa Clara. In August 2023 and January 2024, federal regulators inspected Apple’s facility at 3250 Scott Boulevard after receiving a tip from the public. The inspections, according to the EPA, [...]

“People should dress up more when flying” is just the most tedious and uninteresting take. Talk to the airlines about treating people a little less like livestock first, Road Rules Sean
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

If you have access to the white house press pool: Just start calling WH officials you get access to Piggy.
Make them get mad so you can ask why they're mad.

Reporter: What did the president mean when he called the reporter piggy?
Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration

a huge part of the problem with teaching capitalism as nothing but a system of profit is that even progressive people can't process how culture filters through the pursuit of profit
“these political parties have no ideological allegiance except to inflows of capital”
Except you also said "the Democratic party cannot restrain itself in unbridled islamophobia".
So which is it?
Capital doesn't give a shit about race or religion

Thanks @pattonoswalt.bsky.social for pushing back on Maher's anti-trans BS. The fact that he won't even acknowledge that trans people are being targeted by the government is insane.

i have noticed that trumpers have shut the fuck up for the most part, just like these same people did when bush's approval went to the 20s. it was awesome, because you knew they didn't really believe he was wrong and were so mad all the mud-brained moderates turned on them
I don’t know if this reflects what others have seen in rural areas, but it has been a noticeable glimmer to me the last couple of times I was really out in the sticks.
Definitely fair, but also my anecdata in driving around rural Maryland is that there’s a bit fewer Trump signs and the occasional “fuck Trump” (not in those words exactly) sign. Not the absolute numbers but the movement.

I want to point out that this is how executives and others on Wall Street talk. They say in earnings calls, for example, that the market is demonstrating that they can raise prices on necessities, that consumers are "willing" to bear price increases.

It was actually incredibly frustrating at the time how hard the Press fought labeling him a right wing psycho, when he was a pretty basic sovereign citizen freak.
The only belief he had that wasn't right wing was he was a reddit atheist.

Palin put out ads with crosshairs on Kelly's wife's face, his wife Giffords who was then shot by a right wing crank. The media pretended he wasn't RW because he was a registered Independent, but he cried seeing W and thought women should be banned from positions of power

The original purpose of DC was concern that a state might not protect Congress from angry mobs and how did that work out.
