To DSA members who want to run on their own ballot line: Here’s what that actually looks like

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%

the funny thing about people in the western world being angry at sikhs for taking all the trucking jobs is that people in India are also angry with them for taking all the trucking jobs. It's not you. It's what we do. We are the Truck Guys.

The GOP has rotted through completely and has become little more than a criminal organization that moonlights in sedition. The party should be forcibly shuttered so that conservatives who still believe in liberal democracy can build another party to replace it.

Reminding my American friends to check to make sure they're registered to vote way before November. Even if you think you are - doublecheck just to make sure you don't fall pray to shennanigans.

As someone who watched her young sister-in-law die of treatable breast cancer, hopped up on wheatgrass and vitamins, in a hyperbolic oxygen chamber, fuck you.

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

No, it's really bad trying to court crank raw milk drinkers and child murderers who withhold medicine, in an attempt to gain votes as a progressive. If you think this can be defended on purely strategic grounds, you are already way too lost in the ideological hole.

Defeating the cyclops easily by shooting him with my gun, ignoring the sirens because I'm listening to podcasts, resisting Circe's magic by reminding myself magic isn't real, defeating all my wife's suitors with 100 consecutive punches to the penis, this odyssey shit is easy

It is pretty sad that so few people actually believe in open borders

The most French thing about Les Miserables is that Hugo wrote the convent section based on asking two of his mistresses about their education by nuns.

the three guys who voted in favor of that birthright citizenship EO should be impeached and removed just for that alone. it's sufficient! you simply cannot do the job you were assigned to do. time to go. kavs lawyer-weaseling around it just barely saves him

current feelings around AI: the CEOs shoveling slop into everything should be in jail but the guys spending upwards of $60,000 on elaborate, janky home rigs to run local models for no reason other than to see if it works are engaging in a long and semi-honorable tradition of computer toucher shit

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit

Surely people using the word shibboleth without knowing its meaning should say it sib-oh-let

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

The French revolution literally gave full equal citizenship to their colonial subjects! Napoleon then brought back slavery, but this is part of why four towns in Senegal had a seat in the National Assembly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Co...

100% of the people who say France is a French ethnostate are illiterate

Vance is creating the conditions for his own children and everyone who looks even a little like them to be harassed, targeted, and even more marginalized, both formally and informally. Are we supposed to ignore that in the name of decorum? The perverse and indecorous behavior is his.

This will create many new jobs for lawyers, but sometimes harmful collateral damage is inevitable

basically my perspective is that republicans are the party of child abuse and talking like a plantation owner about a population that includes your own kids is part of that.

Translator Of Original ‘Minions’ Epic Poem Slams ‘Sexless, Bloodless’ Film Adaptation

This is, in fact, typical of conspiracy theories. The utility of such thinking is not consistency, but that it provides an impenetrable wall against following a reasoning chain towards an undesired conclusion.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

yes, and unfailingly predictive of absolute cowardice. If someone waffles on trans rights, they're wrong and gross, but also, you know they're just spineless losers who don't care about anything. nope, bye, next.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
