If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I know this is hard for a lot of politicians and pundits to understand since so many of them are senior citizens, but we have three whole generations of American voters (X, Millennial, Z) who do not give a damn about Bill Clinton. He has no stans out here.

These fucking Vichy Democrats deserve to have every single constituent whose healthcare premiums are doubling or whose SNAP benefits are not being paid show up on their doorstep demanding answers. How can this look like taking care of your people?

Mamdani elected. NJ and VA governorships go to democrats. Colorado will increase taxes on high earners to pay for school lunches for all.
And in Texas? We’re saying that you must be a U.S. citizen to vote. Something that was (checks notes) already a requirement to vote. Way to go, Texas.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:
A vote is not a love letter for the perfect candidate. A vote is a chess move to win a world you want to live in.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

They think that the only reason we care is because it’s a gotcha against their team, because that’s the only reason *they* care
The idea that it’s a moral injustice that disgusts us and cries out for remedy regardless of the perpetrator simply doesn’t occur to them

Anthony Bourdain was the guy that everyone thinks Joe Rogan is: curious, truth seeking, and open to genuinely new ideas and cultural perspectives.

You can fix almost all of USA’s structural problems by making it a job that pays the bills & supports families but that is not what we do here. We pay police.

Remembering for some reason how surprised everyone was at how quickly and comprehensively the USSR disintegrated, like it had already rotted from the inside and all that was left was a facade that seemed impressive and enduring but was hollow as papier-mache.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes
Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else
