A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
And also the best 1980's song
The differential between their awesome fiesta colors and the insanely boring black and silver they wore for 20 years is ... maybe the largest of any franchise's two primary looks ever?
Shame in society is good, actually
Deeply relieved that the bombs will stop—for now.
But threatening the destruction of an entire civilization has repercussions.
Republicans must call Congress back NOW, pass a war powers resolution, & stop this unauthorized war.
And Trump must be removed from office immediately.
This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.
he's just such a total human void. utterly lacking a single virtue of any kind
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
We should try electing some kind of deliberative body that makes decisions about levying taxes.
As a Senate candidate, Fetterman guaranteed voters he’d be a reliable Dem, not another Manchin or Sinema.
Constantly. It was his core promise to primary voters.
Liar.
Feels like the sort of strategy that last helped real contenders in ~2012 but managers and media continue to pitch its viability
My point is that, similarly to free agency, impactful players are no longer acquired in that market, so pitching it as a path to improvement is not a serious strategy
Yes, and how many years ago was that?
Who was the last impactful player acquired as a buyout?
Sixers ducking the proximate tax is the same as it's always been.
Teams' objectives being to avoid LT commits is what has really confounded fans' relation to the deadline. They're not looking to get better, they're simply creating "flexibility" in 2-3 yrs. Who knows what fruit that can bear, if any
Turning the NBA into an exercise in moving money around is not, it turns out, the best way to appeal to fans
My partner got me three shirts for Christmas this year 😂
Wore a Wes sweatshirt to the theater last Friday, and the woman next to me immediately called out Shrinking
Real ones (me) think only of Javert
Not enough for Dems to call for calm or say “don’t take the bait,” en route to funding this administration. They need to take up the onus themselves by showing that an entity with real power is stepping up to change the course of things.
Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.
There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.
What is the Law for if it bunds only the most vulnerable? What are its officers for if they cannot be held to account? What are elected representatives for if they do not fight for the protection they are meant to protect?
Intolerable, this cannot go on.
I'm so fucking tired of the impunity and absence of accountability for anyone, from elites to goons. The center is not fucking hold, the only way out is through, some fucking leadership from anyone is desperately needed.
In a sane country every Republican would be removed from office today
once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”
