Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952
And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.
Does he intentionally have PK minutes?!?
Life truly imitates art
Well-primed for the hockey version of "who's on first" when they play the Canucks and all 37 Petterssons they've collected 😂
This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.
And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow.
The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?"
When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
if anyone says the phrase "run the government like a business" within earshot ever again I am going to turn into the Joker
I can't think of a single time off the top of my head. Unrelated, but does anyone know the history of the phrase "banana republic"?
McDavid for Thompson trade incoming
Yup. These guys are not following politics beyond what they hear on Rogan. Literally one extras question makes them go "oh... Yeah I guess it makes sense that Canadians would be mad about that."
Is it me or does Garnet Hathaway look like diet Roy Kent?
this is a really key point about all of this fascist nonsense - you can’t make long term plans, because they might be upended by a slapdash decision, and that decision might change if people yell about it
a lot of things about the world that people rely on being stable no longer are
The thing I love most about Ovi at this point in his career is he can just lay a monster hit against any team and no one's gonna do anything about it because 1) he might be able to kill you, and 2) you kinda wanna see him get the goal record
Are they replacing it with White Power?
That's because ESPN+ hockey streaming is trash, every other stream freezes or goes mute for no reason 10 minutes in. I'm a hardcore Caps fan so I put up with it for Caps streams, but casuals are gonna see that and say "I'll watch something not bugging out." It keeps me from watching other games tho
we are reaching levels of national security threats I did not even realize were possible
this is the kind of thing you put in a terrible b-movie where some nefarious cybercriminal has hacked The Entire Treasury and everyone rolls their eyes at the implausibility
except somehow it's actually real
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
this is where "just asking questions" and sports bans have brought us - the attempted total erasure of trans people from public life
fuck these people, trans rights are human rights
I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.
The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.
Good job, friends.
Is that reason to feel the tiniest bit of relief that maybe we aren't doomed to be the Fourth Reich, or does that just make it so much worse?
if this happens we will someday see visual evidence of what goes on there and it will damn us all
Makes this Saturday's matchup even more interesting, Winnipeg's the only team Washington hasn't seen yet
Wes is a good friend who needs help. If you haven't heard his voice at Capitals games, you might have heard it in video games like Elder Scrolls and Fallout or seen him in bit parts on shows like VEEP.
If you have the means, please give if you can.

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them
The 2-9 Giants vs the 4-7 Cowboys isn't the football game that America wants today but it is certainly the game that America deserves today.
