What a lot of centrists dont realize is that a lot of us supported them to keep the GOP fascism dam from breaking, but now that the GOP is essentially ripping every institution apart in the name of fascism, there is very little incentive for us to support them over their more radical counter-parts.

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked:
50th in classroom funding
49th in starting teacher pay
7th highest in gun deaths
6th highest in maternal mortality
Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Experiencing ‘the other app’ déjà vu. Convinced I’ve seen this exact conversation. Maybe 10 years ago? Maybe 5? No, I will not google.
1) this movie is on YouTube 2) opening number a. is ersatz c +c music factory b. kinda goes hard?? c. but also features the couplet “I’m the teacher, man, you’re the student / close your ears if you feel you’re prudent” d. but the score is by the legendary Stanley Clarke?
Just wanted to remind you that the director of the 1991 Vanilla Ice movie “Cool As Ice” went on to direct a film called “Lusty Liaisons 2” while the cinematographer of Cool as Ice, Janusz Kamiński, went on to do the cinematography for Schindler's List and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

I don't give a shit what he chooses or declines to rule out. It's not his fucking choice. Stop writing about it as if his opinion matters. Write about it like it is: unquestionably illegal, not a debate, not his call, not going to fucking happen.
President Donald Trump on Sunday declined to rule out seeking a third presidential term — an unconstitutional act explicitly barred under the 22nd Amendment — saying that “there are methods which you could do it.”
Trump suggests ‘methods’ exist for bid for unconstitutional third term
President Donald Trump again raised the idea of running for a third term in office, an unconstitutional idea that would run afoul of the 22nd Amendment.
