one required, but sadly enormous, shift in the way americans view things: recovering an understanding that a democratic government is a collective enterprise that should deliver tangible services and benefits to people
1.86% of Democrats elected to the House of Representatives less than a year and a half ago have now died in office.
AIPAC says I’m not Team America. Why? Because I want to spend the $400b to make college & trade schools free and childcare $10 day. Not on the Trump/Netanyahu alliance for an illegal, immoral war in Iran.
100% will be returned to businesses, of which 90% will keep the money and do stock buybacks (or some other enrich themselves BS), and 80% will not lower prices of their goods, keeping the inflated prices to increase profits
Sounds like win-win for the consumers who actually paid these illegal taxes
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
George Lucas Saying “And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse"
We should have never doubted this man
*sighing, moving the "None of the Defenders of Western Civilization Have Ever Encountered It" counter back to zero*
This picture is eerily reminiscent of the model of Adolf Hitler's "Germania" plan for Berlin formulated under the direction of Albert Speer
It's all a bit on the nose, huh
If Obama had posted a photo of himself as Jesus, the story would've disappeared in a couple days, right?
I’d argue it’s very much in the interests of justice
Donald Trump: he‘s just like us (losing his mind at the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions and posting his way through the emotional turmoil)
NYT: US Fertility Rates Drop to Another Record Low The fertility rate has been falling since 2007, in large part because of a plunge among teenagers
There are some clues in the age breakdown: The fertility rate for teenagers dropped by 7 percent from 2024’s figure, setting another record low for the group. Since 2007, the rate for teenagers is down by 72 percent, and since 1991, when teenage fertility rates were at a high, the rate is down by 81 percent.
Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates
This is just plainly fascist rhetoric.
Family annihilator final boss
ABC news headline Artemis 2 crew faces mental physical strain in deep space
Yeah, well it's not so great down here either, ABC News.
sorry if this seems harsh but I don't think the president should be allowed to post "a whole civilization will die tonight" and still be president
Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country
Yes, live streaming this is pretty great
What kind of ass kisser are you as a journalist to read Trump's senile rants rage & threats of violence & launder them into dignified language? You saw it yourself that he didn't say it like that.
i’ve been thinking about this quote a lot lately.
did It Happen? no, of course not
but the periodic weekend “maybe It’s Happening” rumor mill is an important mental health salve, carry on
I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
Love living in a hell world where the president is waging an insane Christian holy war that nobody asked for, but I still have to go into work and pretend everything’s fine 🫠
All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans.
For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project.

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping
Reading these made me so nostalgic for better times. Which probably weren’t better, but at least Twitter wasn’t owned by a Nazi then
congratulations to trump and bibi for starting a war and immediately making the iranian regime the strongest and richest it has been in its entire history
incredible, world-historic geopolitical fuckup
Just to expand on this:
The dynamic was basically:
Voters: Fast food hamburgers went from $3 to $9. I don't like this.
Biden/Harris: Look, I'm sorry about your burger or whatever, but there are real people out there with real problems.
Trump: I will fix this on day 1. It will be so easy.
