I want the statement "Black Americans are conservative" to absolutely die in a fire. It's a lie from the pits of hell. Black America's record demonstrates that, as a whole, we are the MOST progressive racial/ethnic demographic in the United States and it's not even close.
Journalism has become the art of stubbornly refusing to draw the obvious conclusion
THIS. There's been a massive uptick on this site of men coming onto women profs' threads to beef idiotically about things these women literally wrote the books about. We are so fucking tired.
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

I find myself burning with incandescent rage at the way all the civics and constitutional rules and laws I learned my whole life are actually just suggestions if the ppl in congress have a deficiency in courage "A gentleman's agreement only works if the ppl involved are gentlemen "

Just straight up Bugs Bunnyied a carrot. Ate it with a little green on the end. Crunched it with the side of my mouth. Docs were asked what’s up.

mamdani's social media: NYC, today is a monumental day. I've slain Gorlax the Spurious, the beast who lived in the sewers and ate children and small dogs. every conservative thinkpiece article: Slaying Gorlax the Spurious might *sound* appealing, but what if you don't have children or small dogs?

Ukraine and the world have seen horrifying footage from Kherson today - a Russian drone hunting down a civilian. This person is Mr. Yurii, he sells vegetables. At about 6.30 a.m., Mr. Yurii was putting out the produce by the market, as he does every day⤵️
if the left ever wants Black people to vote for them, they need to stop calling Black voters stupid.
Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.
A new deal on balcony solar just dropped in the US

Top JPMorgan Chase execs coached Epstein on how to withdraw cash through shell companies instead of his personal accounts, helping him conceal information from compliance personnel and government regulators.
Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · yesterdayIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time

this is a weird line to draw since the liberal position (correct) is that it's not reasonable to summarily execute people in international waters even if they're involved in drug trafficking and the conservative position is that you must do that even if you kill a bunch of innocent people too
CNN@cnn.com · 2d agoThe US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.
If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

“No alternative but to take his word” motherfucker you’re a lame duck who got turfed out of your own party in favor of an actual felon because you were insufficiently groveling to these guys. You’ve got plenty of choice. You’re free. What you’re lacking is courage and dignity.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃
All the indicators I’m seeing suggest this is the Iran‑controlled route, with a service fee attached. Trump took the loss and is now going to try to lie and spin it as a positive outcome.
