I know he's not mentally right but surely he has the capability to understand humor and parody...

What in the fuck?

I don't think many people realize what's at stake here. Your trans friends do, though.

We just saw what they did to undocumented people earlier this year. They're still in camps (the ones they didn't ship off to prisons overseas). Fight back or people will die. It's already happening.

l agree that it's bad but I also think that Schumer is a traitor. But then, I am not the President.

I can't believe the guy who was good friends with Epstein is going over to the party that wants to conceal and protect the friends of Epstein!

the thing that's so unbelievably weird about this is that it's a dogwhistle against the culture that invented algebra

As a Mainer, centrist Dems have been going crazy attacking him. Which is frankly part of his appeal.

Warren is the most centrist that's embraced him and she's considered progressive here. The pro-Israel part of the party won't touch him and has deliberately tried to sabotage his campaign.

It's like Zack Snyder with Watchmen...

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Mamdani simply being a successful municipal socialist mayor and orthogonal to that also a normalizer of the non-American perspective on Palestine in US liberalism is really just the ideal scenario for a guy who can't run for the national executive office

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

i would really like people to get over the idea that comedy is particularly dangerous to authoritarians. if it was we wouldn't be here.

It's a nice thought, but the evidence ain't there.

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Man who lived in NYC almost his entire life but never heard the term "corner store".

That's absolutely insane.

I think they should be two and be golden.

We will always associate Trump with the Golden Arches.

Going to be pedantic. It was adapted by Tarantino from the opening scrawl of the Sonny Chiba film "The Bodyguard".

Because he used the r-word?? It's disappointing but he's still the better of the two candidates on the issues.

Why would I NOT vote for him? We need to beat Collins and Platner is polling better than Mills. (Also, he's anti-genocide and not anti-Native like Mills is.)

I support Platner and he's got my vote, but yeah. This was really disappointing.

Bingo!

Tbf, the Democrats have been doing this here as well in Maine.

Janet Mills ran an ad of women complaining about Platner's old reddit posts and they're all important people from the Maine Democratic Party that aren't being credited as such.

And let's be fair, even a decade ago things were really bad. Occupy was 15 years ago.

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

No, but we did all pretty much watch Apollo 13.

The movie, I mean.

Most of my memories of space re-entries are of a space shuttle.

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

And a lot of the Dem leadership is, unfortunately, with him on the trans issue...
