while teamsters and UAW get a lot of attention i feel like people miss out that the average working class person in the US today is (1) a woman and (2) working a service job

I found the men in women's sports

The thing about this is that Democrats DON'T "always fight back." That's exactly what makes this situation such a vital turning point! Trump and Republicans figured Democrats would lay down like they always do. That's why they're so shocked and angry about how this fight turned out.

fun fact: two years after Manchin won in West Virginia, a left wing populist ran on this exact platform… and lost to a corporate Republican by 40 points

the conservative white working class doesn’t vote for wealth distribution. they are temporarily embarrassed billionaires who love daddy Trump

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

It seems like only yesterday that we were being told that there was nothing undemocratic about bending the rules to entrench your power. 😔

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.

in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

he .... produces napalm from his pores??? the trivia 'recipe' for vindaloo and a rank of 1 in fighting skills???

Marvel doing Venkat Katragadda dirty

Tucker Carlson doesn’t deserve anyone’s praise for trying to position himself as a leader of the post-Trump American right.

never heard of this theory until just now, nor thought of Bebe in years, but I'm a convert.

Keep this in mind next time Dreher opines on welfare, the state, and minorities.

“Move fast and break things” as an ethos was always going to run into “laws are a hinderance to xyz” and while people may cheekily call it ‘cyberpunk’ or such the reality is it’s nothing more than white collar criminality and should be prosecuted as such

I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public

they've put colors on the tote that are turning the frogs gay!!!

The heart of Fuentes’s message was that young men in the United States have gotten a rotten deal. In his telling, a nation of entitled baby boomers, like those leading the Republican Party, had poisoned American society with bad jobs, unbearable women and a racially diverse population intent on depriving White people of what they’re owed

Maybe the Republican Party can’t deal with its Nick Fuentes problem because this message is more or less the same as theirs so the criticism comes off as disingenuous www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

desi right wingers are going to quickly find out that they were never really considered part of the GOP

It's silly and wrong to act like Trump was gonna be committed to pacifist foreign policy before the Israelis blackmailed him. And, yes, it is in fact anti-Semitic. For one thing, there's evidently a section of the American military establishment who have been gagging for war with Iran for decades.

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

Planitir’s statement is the discursive product of bigots who felt criticized in their experiences of higher education and have learned to modulate this bigotry into grand sounding undergrad essay prose.

All of their shit is moronic nonsense and embarrassing pseudo history

One thing I wish we acknowledged more is that the anti-woke coalitions have won—both in the Democratic Party and in much of the country more broadly—and yet they’re still complaining.

Really think Everton missed Beto after he was forced off, but what a disjointed second half

The nonstop Liverpool glazing by the Sky announcers continues be extremely annoying

Da Ev, baby

A lot worth gripping about with the officials tbf

The reflexive ass kissing and adoption of Liverpool’s perspective from the SKY broadcasters makes me understand a bit better the constant simmering resentments of English Everton fans.

shouldn't be allowed to choose their own clerks, shouldn't be allowed to accept fees for speaking or prize money or awards. shouldn't be able to get book deals, etc. etc. if what you want is to be famous, well, no one is forcing you to be a supreme court justice.

conservatives try to play dumb about the shadow docket, saying it's standard protocol and lacks any political valence. anyway, here we have the papers and roberts is saying "i realize this isn't standard protocol but we need to do this for politics"

anyway, if this court is going to act as little more than a partisan legislature than it ought to be treated like one by the actual legislature
