Amazing how a bunch of sociopaths who think of people as things are telling us things are people.

Precisely so in fact.

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.

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.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

A tiny little armpit of a country in the middle of an otherwise lovely little island: Hey what if we spend everyone's money for generations on imperialism & austerity, which are both very costly to do and both simply wreck the global climate as well

Also England: Bad news u lot we have no food

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americansβ€”and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for itβ€”was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money? Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

Anderson Cooper: β€œSo it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”

Answer: β€œYes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

03.03.2026 03:01 πŸ‘ 1196 πŸ” 454 πŸ’¬ 23 πŸ“Œ 52

The obvious wisdom and effectiveness of Housing First is obscured by the fact we've made "a tiny, no-frills apartment" an expensive status symbol in huge swathes of the country by creating an artificial housing shortage

I really imagined humanity to be more rational than to start thinking their slop generators were somehow conscious.

The magical thinking is stunning to me.

I swear these people would have thought Weird Science was a documentary.

Indiana Secretary of State accused of violating campaign law, banned from local election center This article features additional reporting by FOX59/CBS4’s Hannah Adamson. INDIANAPOLIS β€” Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales has been banned from the Marion County election center after…

What? The same "America First" Diego Morales who now AG then SoS Todd Rokita fired in '09 for "inefficient execution" and a "lack of focus" only to be fired 2 yrs later under a different SoS for the same, the same Deigo Morales accused of multiple sexual assaults and felony voter fraud as well?

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to β€œtake all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

β€œAn American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death.”
- Pete Hegseth

An actual psychopath.

Just…Jesus Christ, this man is *deeply* unwell.

I believe it was @golikehellmachine.com who first observed here that if he ever had his shirt off in front of a tattooist while getting his other work done, they would have noticed his Nazi tattoo & engaged him forcefully on the question of why he had it, & whether he wanted to be rid of it

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--


TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.

It does terrible fucking things to your mind if you stop getting feedback like "dude what the fuck are you talking about?"

Just look at how literally any billionaire speaks.

BREAKING: U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio on Friday granted a preliminary injunction sought by residents of Gray's Landing by the Portland ICE facility. This bars federal agents from using tear gas and other chemical munitions at a level that is "likely to reach" the affordable housing complex.
