No, the Yankees have not abdicated. They have 27 World Series titles, and they still have money.

The Dodgers are tied with my Sox, and the A’s, with 9 titles, so let’s calm the fuck down trying to replace the Yankees as baseball’s most villainous team.
The Dodgers at this point are just going all in on being baseball’s supervillain — which is fun since the Yankees have abdicated the role.

Like, I see what you’re saying, but he has to try and cancel elections first before we can claim democracy is gone.

We’re living through the attempt to get rid of it, but we can’t claim it’s gone until he tries to cancel elections, and declared martial law.
The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Overturning Citizens United should be the top priority of any pro-democracy movement. Keep the oligarchy out of our elections, and pass election and campaign legislation.

Why RCV for only the Senate, and not just for all elections?
Political reforms which would set us on a path towards a new system which don’t require a constitutional amendment:

- Proportional representation in the House with RCV in the Senate
- Expanding the Supreme Court and limiting its power
- Abolishing the filibuster
- Adding DC and PR as states

I want to preface this post by informing you that I grew up on the likes of South Park, rotten . com, Rob Zombie gore films, and all sorts of other horrible internet shit, point being that I have been thoroughly desensitized, and it is very hard to offend me via videos/photos, BUT…

The Batman is the most harmonious live action film to the comic books that has currently been made, and that, logically, makes it the BEST live action Batman film.

Even if MTG is now making nominally sane claims as part of her image rehabilitation/mea culpa tour, she’s still nuts and there’s no real benefit to welcoming her with open arms. Trump screwed her so she turned on him, fine.

John Curtis is a spineless piece of human shit that has toed the party line his entire political career.

He’s the epitome of a Mormon, really. Someone who will smile to your face, and tell you he’s your friend, while holding a knife behind his back ready to take what’s yours for his MAGAt king.
CURTIS: All of us need to wake up every morning & say, 'what am I doing to make immigrants feel welcome' regardless of an individual says

BASH: But he's not just an individual. He's the president calling an entire community garbage

C: We knew very well what we were electing. We wanted a disrupter

הִלְכוֹת יְמֵי וַם־מְגִדּוֹ

1) The practice of ום־מגידו (in English: Whamageddon) was taken as an obligation by the Jewish people during the era of the Mad Emperor רֵיגָנְטִיוֹכוּס, as a commemoration of the suffering that secular Christmas music has brought upon the Jewish people.

The grasshopper gets it, the ants eventually get it, but it still seems like Mr. Reich and everyone that says ‘violence isn’t the answer’ just aren’t getting it.

What is ‘it’? That violence is how the ants forced the grasshoppers to stop oppressing them, not voting, or peacefully protesting.
The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

So let me get this straight:

A man that Trump’s clowns gave asylum to, shot and killed two military service members in D.C., that Trump illegally ordered to be there, to prevent *checks notes* this exact fucking crime?

Am I missing something??

This is great! I’m getting a regular amount of Spanish, and Hebrew, posts in my Discover feed.

I still rely on the translator for Hebrew because my Hebrew game is weak as fuck, but I’m working on that.

CROW: We wanted to start a conversation about the dangerous rhetoric this president is using and threats he's made to use our military in an unlawful way

BRENNAN: Specifically what?

CROW: Send troops into Chicago, into polling stations, kill terrorists' families, shoot peaceful protesters ...

Just saw a post claiming Mamdani is going to force all New York children to use Arabic numerals in school?!?!

What’s next, the almost exclusive use of the Latin alphabet?!

Communist madness! How much more tyrannical education can the children take?!

Every time I think ‘I love storms/rain!’, I have to remember to be grateful for the privilege to do so.

I am able to live in a place that protects me from the negative impact of storms, whereas there are many who do not share this privilege, and storms are cause for concern.

We can’t forget them…

This was predicted. This is the most obvious cover up that’s ever been done.
And just like that, the Epstein files are now part of an ongoing investigation. Certainly can’t release them NOW. Nope, too bad.
