they treat this guy who streams on the internet with more skepticism and hostility than literally any Democrat politician that is actively running for office

Over the next few weeks, assuming the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, Americans are going to start to feel the pinch when it comes to higher prices and shortages of certain goods.

But that won't even be 0.01% of what the US govt has done to Cuba over the past 65 years and is doing right now.

Vermont is ICE’s latest target. If you haven’t heard this on the news, the information is being hidden from you. The government is trying to subjugate all the Blue and Independent states because that is what fascist governments do. The Ellisons owning all of mainstream media is part of that plan.

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

age verification is functionally a huge security hazard for _all_ internet users but the government will call you a danger to children if you point this out

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

It can get lower!

I don’t even think that you can call abolishing ICE a moderate position. It’s too much of a layup to be moderate. Putting all of them in jail for the rest of their lives is the moderate position.

Weird how there are always just enough democrat votes to pass shit nobody wants

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

🤡There's never been a time in US history where people expect you to apologize *for being white*. People expect you to apologize*for being pro-racism*.

Worldwide, fewer than half of all white people are pro-racism.♥️

In the US it takes an active disinfo campaign to keep the pro-racism group > 50%.

Harlow's still here Fifty years ago, Harlow was the queen of Philadelphia nightlife, Jack Kelly’s girlfriend, and the city's most famous transgender woman. Today, she’s ready to tell her story.

i’m not crying you’re crying

xkcd: Fifteen Years

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

So you like Vercel/genAI/Next.js, huh?

This man and his company are a blight on the entire field of developer tooling. This is disgusting in the strongest sense.

Note it says "contains," that's broad.

Under these terms, most of the ASOIAF series would be banned, so would many different mythologies or their retellings, stories about sexual assault like Mouthwashing are on thin ice, coming-of-age stories that involve sex are nixed, and more.

This is BAD.

anyways i'll be calling too shortly. join me o7

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states
