Trump’s illegal attacks on Venezuela should be firmly condemned. Make no mistake — the U.S has long legacy of of capitalist, right wing intervention in Latin American governments. We must stand against U.S. imperialism and with the working people of Venezuela!
Atlanta DSA affirms our support for the rights of the Venezuelan people to sovereignty and self-determination. We call for immediate de-escalation, the enforcement of international law to ensure peace between nations, and an end to all U.S. intervention in Venezuela.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

The fact that everyone totally ignores C3PO when he says stuff like this makes a lot more sense if you think of him as a ChatGPT type computer who just says plausible sounding sentences without any real analysis behind them.

Someone on r/Braves suggested that Tyler Flowers should be the next manager and now I'll be disappointed if it's anyone but him.

Today is the last day Marcell Ozuna is on my favorite major league baseball team. And that is worth celebrating.

Goalkeepers should be able to come off their line when a penalty taker starts their run up
Everybody should absolutely view this as an invitation to drop your spiciest soccer takes.

Was having a talk with the wife the other night and somehow I asked the question "So what position would Obama play if he was a football player" which quickly led me to putting together and offense and defense of former presidents. I will be presenting this list after a few qualifiers.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Gonna talk for a second about Nazis, Republicans, DrivethruRPG, that Star Wars game, and more importantly, my grandpa.
Bear with me, the edibles are just kicking in. Might be a little thread.

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

You can never recoup lost tax revenue through economic growth. Why? Math.
Assume an economy with $100 in taxable income with a 20% tax rate. The government gets $20 in taxes.
Now assume a 10% tax cut. The government gets 18%. What will the government need to earn to get back to $20?
$111.11

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"
The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

Imagine if when Democrats got in power they enacted policies so left wing that even in the most leftist districts only 15% supported it. It's hard to even think what that would be.
Forced collectivization of farms? Executing landlord? Even that might break the 15% barrier somewhere.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to SNAP, the federal program that provides food assistance to millions of low-income Americans.
