Ballot measures to amend the California constitution only need to get 51% of the vote to pass. It's one of the reasons why California is so messed up

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Every major city in Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago

Donald Trump has heard the wails and lamentations of all the Rust Belt communities left behind by neoliberalism, and he has a message for them: fuck you and die

this shit looks like someone’s about to shoot franz ferdinand

Westkust. It's maybe the best American alt rock/pop punk I've ever heard and they're Swedish

I have this from 2020. Somehow applicable?

i think there should be christian preachers in front lines of every protest unsubtly doing the “sinners in the hands of an angry god” thing

The Portland cops are openly contradicting the regime's narrative about the ICE facility being under seige. They also don't like the fake war-zone story because it paints them in a bad light. These cracks in the facade tell us a lot about the regime's weaknesses.

That's precisely why it's so interesting. Chicago area cops opened an assault investigation against an ICE agent - they're not supposed to do that. That's breaking the blue wall. ICE is so evil, one of the worst PDs in the country won't stand with them.

Well luckily I wasn't talking to Hamas

I was referring to the attitude of many leftists who celebrate the murder of Israeli civilians but decry the murder of Palestinian civilians

It's wrong to kill civilians even if you don't like them

I don't think you can impose a thousand year reich if even the Chicago cops hate your regime but you never know

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

The only interesting question is if new Paramount owner David Ellison is consciously lying to advance an oligarchic agenda or believes his own bullshit because he's in one of those rich person right-wing / reactionary centrist information bubbles where they "know" what "everyone" thinks.

It's always wonderful to talk to @demilardner.bsky.social about Ms. Pac-Man's beautiful body 💅
