Imma post this every chance I get because it’s valid and hilarious
Oh man, I used to get so excited when that would come on! One of my faves.
Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
Black people up to 48 times more likely to be stopped and searched in richest areas of London
Straight up white thing sorry. Regardless of individual experiences across the board white people have more foxes in the henhouse than anybody else.
That’s why we’re about to get a leftist senator with Nazi tattoos who was a mercenary & worked at a torture chamber. Can’t happen with anybody else.
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

It's Town Meeting in almost every town in New Hampshire this Tuesday.
Not sure about where/when? Call your clerk!
Not registered to vote? No problem - we have same-day registration, so bring your paperwork and get registered on the spot.
School meetings may be separate! Ask!
These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.
Maine - Here is your alternative to Platner.
The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.
Telling folks not to talk about politics at Jesse Jackson’s funeral is like telling players not to talk about football at John Madden’s funeral.
In WarioWare: Twisted, Jimmy's boss microgame can be won instantly if the console is tilted 720° in less than half a second. In practice, this is achieved by literally physically throwing the console.
not even november yet and our move to redistrict is already having all the right outcomes
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
Pope Leo XIV: “War is never holy!”
Six people legally living in the US and legally traveling for work were disappeared by the US government and the only reason we knew about it was because one woman was family friends with a county commissioner and her cell phone pinged to two detention centers.
The only thing I can really think of for why Ryan Grim is so desperate for Graham Platner is, I believe, the same reason why there was a massive orgiastic rush of anger about critiquing Joe Rogan when he said one nice thing about Bernie. They want there to be a right-wing-white-male to left pipeline
Two Friday night news dumps from California Republicans made vulnerable by redistricting:
-Darrell Issa is retiring
-Kevin Kiley is running for reelection as an independent

Ooooo wonderful! I'm going to get these for our elementary school libraries!
Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. “It’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”
It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.
Happening now- the Broadview, IL ICE facility: a few dozen people have gathered here over the bizarre situation re: a US citizen who was allegedly detained by federal immigration agents, only for agents to reportedly say she wasn't there.
Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison on scene as well.
I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.
this is where i remind everyone in a room of pasty male governors when the bully in chief zeroed in on Janet Mills she said fuck you and defended trans girls. took him to court. won.
people say they want fighters against this regime. then vote for the ones who show they will.
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
And I want to be super duper explicit about this, the moment Maine Democrats nominate Graham Platner, a guy with a Totenkopf tattoo, for U.S. Senate, there will no longer be any moral high ground for any Democrat to criticize any Republican who openly displays Nazi symbols and use Nazi rhetoric
INBOX: @couriernewsroom.bsky.social is circulating a video of #TX23 Republican nominee Brandon Herrera showing off his "1939 edition" copy of Mein Kampf.
He doesn't answer the question about DEI and is pretending that their rollback of DEI initiatives and the ensuing and ongoing boycott is just some kind of minor blip.
The white men of the Democratic party should really take a hard look at what's happened to Target. 🤷🏻♀️
