That phrase "longing for inconvenience" to describe a desire to not be bled slowly and endlessly by every single entertainment choice tells the reader everything he needs to know about the writer's mentality.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

And we have receipts. Jim Dolan's security team at Madison Square Garden surveilled this woman over the course of *years* and in the smallest detail ... because she was trans.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

David Ellison will host an exclusive dinner “honoring” Trump next week.

It comes as he’s waiting for regulatory approval of Paramount’s proposal to buy Warner Bros., which would create a massive pro-Trump media monopoly.

What is he going to promise Trump at this dinner?

Hello???

As late as the '90s, at least one publisher was putting ads *in the text*: gmkeros.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/t...

Senators demand Bill Pulte explain allegations from Mother Jones story Our reporting uncovered a strange donation made by Pulte's charity.

@dfriedman.bsky.social and I recently published a story about a mysterious donation by Bill Pulte's charity that might have been funneling money to help Donald Trump. Today @warren.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov are demanding answers from Pulte himself: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Happy 96th birthday to Dolores Huerta, a true legend of the labor movement! From championing farm workers to empowering women nationwide, her tireless dedication to civil and labor rights is an inspiration to us all. ¡Sí, se puede!

There are not enough songs about the pleasure of lying under a warm blanket while stoned.

My problems, in perspective.

This really puts my problems into perspective.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

🚨☎️ PLEASE DO THIS RIGHT NOW ☎️🚨

"I am calling to ask the Senator/Congressperson to immediately call for the removal of Trump and to contact Admiral Richard Correll to remind him of his responsibility to refuse illegal orders."

Took me less than 5 minutes to call all 3.
PLEASE.

The President just threatened genocide.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.

Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

The Terrorist in Chief It’s time for us to face up to the ugly reality

“The horrible but undeniable fact right now is that America has a terrorist president. And the whole world knows it. But we still have a chance to show the world that he is an aberration, that we are not a terrorist nation”

Uh, hey, have you seen this?

Not surprising but always nice to see it validated is that men do not respect the women they want to accept positions of dependency & inferiority. They like the power, the control, but have contempt for women willing to submit. Which is why their true feelings come out during divorce.

Men love using these characters against women today but OP is absolutely correct & the replies proved his point.

Hang this quote up on the wall

Abughazaleh extends organizing arm after loss - Evanston Now Ex-candidate says she is "not going to get stuck in the mud" of election loss and plans to help others win races.

NEW: Despite her loss, Kat Abughazaleh is launching a new organizing/mutual aid group to leverage the resources and skills from her bid to assist candidates elsewhere and continue the mutual aid work in Chicago

I know some good people who put in hard honest work for the Oversight Board, but it was always more about forestalling the threat of government regulation through the promise of self regulation. That Meta feels it may not even need to keep up the pretense anymore is telling.

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

1. "Here's an extreme idea. We're platforming it, so that people can watch out."
2. "This idea is gaining traction. We're publishing an op-ed in favour, for balance."
3. "This idea is popular now. Why does the left refuse to consider it?"

this headline is the same line of attack Hillary used in '16 to burn Sanders with re universal college.

it's an applause line that can be completely undone by a reader stopping and thinking for literally three seconds
