Wherever institutional food is truly awful, it turns out to be Aramark. But wow, this seems low even for Aramark.

😘 Extra sweet that Republicans spent all this $$ to send 3 (!!) of these to us via the very postal service THEY gutted so they arrived too late to reach the people they were gonna lie to. FAFO x 2 !!!
Really great 🧵, especially the part about, despite the win, Dems needing to learn how to be better at combating right-wing disinformation. Because, man they threw SO MANY LIES at this one!
Call us back when you're ready to federally ban gerrymandering. Until then, enjoy a taste of your own medicine
Republicans in red states have gerrymandered to shit and back, often illegally, and when voters have passed initiatives to ban the practice, they have (even more illegally) ignored and undercut them. It is a little late to clutch your pearls and weep about the sanctity of democracy now
The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!
As a (very) short person who loved basketball as a kid, I always wanted a whole short persons league! With, like, lower hoops! And smaller balls. This was my dream.
Excited that InfoWars has switched sides in the infowars
Ice agents arresting Charlottesville residents on morning of 4/20

The problem with centrist Dems is that they don't understand the basis for their own power, and try to kill it.
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
Palantir is part of the "regressive and harmful" subculture that destroyed USAID, terminated mRNA research, trashed NIH & CDC & FDA & EPA, and brought back measles. Within the next few years, their subculture will be responsible for more preventable deaths than any other in human history.

17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.
Palantir has already been paid billions to do this, building surveillance systems, predictive policing tools, ICE tracking platforms, and gang databases that sweep in teenagers because they wore the wrong color. Palantir is glad it doesn't reduce crime, because failure means more gov't money.

Relevant to @sallyforsupervisor.bsky.social who is doing a great job explaining what goes on at those Albemarle Board of Supervisors meetings.
Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done.
Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.

If Democrats in power are not using every lever they have to obstruct Trump now, why would you believe they would do it later?
Love that the Yale Report relies on former UVA prof. Jonathan Haidt, who has made an entire career for himself propping up conservative bullshit with his phony "scholarship."
🤣
Last month, the UK head of Palantir attacked the company's critics as "ideological groups." This month, the company's global CEO has published a call for US tech companies to recognise a moral responsibility to support American fascism.
Well done you!
In the foreground is a sign that says federal building and US courthouse; in the background, you can see the federal building, and there is a projection on the front of it
The front of the federal building in Charlottesville. There is a projection on the front of it that says stop Trump vote yes by April 21.

Seen in the wilds of downtown Charlottesville: #StopTrump #VoteYes by April 21. Let’s go Virginia!
I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?
just a wild country

I would not beef with this guy personally.
FASCIST - GET THE F*CK OUT!!! TODAY AT 4:30 THREE LOCATIONS. STONEFIELD, RT 20 & 53 XTERSECTION, PROFIT RD/29 N
Trump is coming to Charlottesville TODAY! Let's show him how exactly how welcome he is in this town! Join the protest at one of 3 locations at 4:30.
Two reminders:
First, Robert E. Lee was never a general in an army recognized by the United States. You can annoy all the right people by referring to him as Col. Robert E. Lee, his actual rank.
Second, the primary flag of the Confederacy is the white one of surrender. To wit:
I have never experienced the ticks ticking to the extent that they are ticking rn in central Virginia.
Happy Confederate surrender day!
This should be a national holiday, and it says a lot that it isn’t.
