I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Universal basic income is not science fiction. It should exist for everyone. There's enough to make it happen.

There should be something where you get money just for being alive on account of you need it to live

great work everyone keep it up

they are pigs and fascists and they should be reminded of it every day forever

“Our Way of Life” He meant every word.

In early April, a warehouse worker burned down a $500 million Kimberly-Clark facility and told his co-workers exactly why. The federal government’s response tells you more about power in America right now than the fire itself does.

Electric Bills in Coal Country West Virginia Now Top Mortgage Payments RAINELLE, W.Va. (AP) — Every month, Rebecca Michalski takes a deep breath before opening her electric bill. She lives on a fixed income, and heating her

There is so much to this story.

I think it is clear that one aspect of the US mismanagement of the war and now the negotiations is simply racism.

They can't understand the way that they were outmaneuvered. And they can't accept it.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Move slow and fix things

A big part of why we are going to lose Democracy is that the people who we put in charge of protecting it don’t seem to realize that it’s incompatible with sexual assault

A GENTLE REMINDER: we are trying to eliminate fossil fuels because using them kills us.

If fossil fuels were cheap (they're not) or reliable (they're SO NOT), it would still be urgent to get rid of them because their intended use destroys our life support systems.

A McDonald’s where the sign has been reduced to McDo.

There is no McTry.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans."

Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly.

Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time.

Fucking say it!

Imagine devoting your life's work to perfecting the seatbelt and then the first time there's a serious accident every occupant of the car goes flying right through the windshield. This post is about the founding fathers.

Any republicans in congress feel like "A whole civilization will die tonight" might cross your own personal line? No? Hm.

I say this as a working class public servant and elected member of a Democratic Party parish level DPEC:

What kind of person must you be to take in the enormity of this moment: the confluence of official cruelty, incompetence, and bigotry, the elite impotence, and decide the solution is "tax cuts?"

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

If being woke, radical or an extremist means I believe everyone has the right to universal healthcare, affordable housing, universal basic income, food and then you can call me the most wokest, radicalist extremist and there are millions of us
Human rights are not optional

Geophysicists say there is an increased risks of destructive floods and wild fires due to climate change. A guy who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says there's nothing to worry about. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

If you want more innovators, reduce class sizes, fully fund higher-ed, eliminate contingency, and stop trying to treat a public good as if it were a goddamned business.

I think we all need a little more ESS content so here's my boy Dash enjoying his off-leash time

it’s hard to imagine having but not using personal celebrity to free kids from prison. i don’t know what other famous people are doing.

adam says it much more succintly. the american right will happily impoverish the united states and make it an oversized backwater if it means they can dominate women and minorities and play act as a master class

The Republican Congress could stop this insanity at any time, but they won't.

It’s undoubtedly reductive to frame American political decline around a single issue but I do think we would have been less likely to elect people who promise to burn it all down if we had basic necessities like healthcare provided by the government. I keep coming back to that

End of the day, it just happens to be Trump. Never forget that every single enabler disregarded their duty and betrayed the American people because it benefited them in one way or another.

I say this because it's *not* enough to be mad at Trump. The *entire* party decided they were ok with it.

Guess what. You should hate fascists for the way they hurt people and you can do that without being homophobic or ableist or fatphobic or transphobic.

Related, no politician deserves your trust if they’re doing any of this or if they’re throwing vulnerable people under the bus.

Making the Strait of Hormuz safe for energy shipments would be a remarkable accomplishment, one that the world has never seen since the beginning of the month.
