All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this
This is NOT what I had in mind when I voted for the man who pretended to work at McDonald's for a day and then drove around in a dump truck. I thought he would continue doing those things, thereby providing valuable services in my community
Ya-Nehisi Coates and our spineless Democratic Party!
WSJ sub: “Indian Partition went smoothly enough, right? Will try to remember to check this before publishing.”
a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
You can take the boy out of apartheid but can you take apartheid out of the boy?
Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet:

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
I'm so sorry, Kate!

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

It’s weird how scrolling on this app you wouldn’t know that Israel burned down a hospital yesterday in Northern Gaza, or it murdered 103 Palestinians, or that that 4 children froze to death…

"Stop asking why schools don’t have bullet proof glass & metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools HAVE to. That’s the question that needs to be asked”
Hey corporate media,
Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.
Josh Shapiro called the McDonald’s employee who reported Luigi Mangione a “hero.”
She will NOT get the $10,000 reward money because she called 911 instead of the tip line.
By the way, Josh Shapiro got $15,000 in donations from United Healthcare last year.
Numbers are fun.
