Here to read interesting things, and to post (hopefully) educational things. Quick to block (other sites are for engaging with trolls).
makes sense to me. Used to date someone who worked at Walmart, and this all sounds familiar. Liberal dems are owned by corp. interests, just as much as R's. Which makes the PRIMARY the most important vote to participate in next year. Make sure the "Blue" option is progressive if you want real change

This is a KEY to how we fail when we simply talk about who is responsible for the dysfunction in congress.

This is why so many Americans do not trust the Democrats. They will talk a good game, but then betray us after we give them our support.

Voters swung so many elections in their favor, due to their position on defending the ACA, and once the vote is over they stab us in the back. Primary them all!
"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?"

We need to institute capital punishment for companies. Kill enough people, and your corporation is forcibly dissolved and sold for parts. With no one from the original leadership allowed to ever take a leadership role in a company again.
Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

United won’t let me check in for my flight. I suspect it is due to the FAA ordering a 10%reduction in flights at major airports. Unfortunately, they have not bothered to notify their customer svc folks as to why we cannot check in.

Really not looking forward to walking into a mess at the airport

As of today, of the ~130 days the government has been shut down in American history, Trump has presided over 65 of them. The two longest shut downs ever, have both been on his watch. How TF can anyone think this is a sign of competence?

If your factor shuts down for a month you lose your job.

ICE agents will not be the only collaborators with oppression, as this article points out. Lots of people will have blood on their hands despite never abusing anyone directly.

That we are so willing to spend more $ persecuting immigrants than providing basic services for Americans means we suck 🛑

I love the idea of eliminating super PACs, but this video ignores the fact that this SCOTUS does not care about legal consistency. They are playing Calvin Ball w/2 rules. #1 there are no rules, #2 This administration wins. And Trump loves corrupt PAC money
This case could end super PACs

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

(7/X) You know the old quote about why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is.

Why do "free speech" people try to appeal to cranky reactionary old men? Because that's where the money is.

I used to support the 2A, despite not desiring to own a gun. I believe the rhetoric about "standing up to tyranny", even if I knew I was not the type to do so.

This image is the best metaphor I can think of for this administration. Bulldozing our country to make a space for billionaires to meet and plot the pilfering of our national wealth.
Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

1st thought: This is ridiculous. Imagine being such a bastard, that beating up on teenaged girls is an acceptable profession for you.

2nd thought: This is what it must have been like to be black in the 90's during the war on drugs, watching your neighbors be similarly abused by the cops.

Discussion of Ag policy is often difficult to consume due to how badly most media understands Ag, and how much Ag relies on propaganda to defend its preferred policy positions.

This is a shockingly comprehensive, and accurate, description of everything going on in Ag policy right now.

So many fools getting upset about something "going woke" when it was woke all along. I pity those adults who didn't get to watch Reading Rainbow, Mr. Rogers et al. as a kid. Or, even worse, watched, but somehow missed the message writ large across those programs.
