These GOP policies have ripped the guts out of average American families’ ability to have — even with two full-time paychecks — the lifestyle that the majority of Americans enjoyed with a single paycheck in 1981 when Reagan was sworn into office.

it is extremely scary and vulnerable to live in a car with all of your paperwork and belongings. it is also extremely expensive. gas, no rest, no way to cook food, no bathrooms. a disabled queer single woman’s nightmare. please, please share and boost my mutual aid. it is survival and it is grim.

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

One sign of the rise of male supremacy and the decline in women’s status is the ubiquity of online porn lingo in casual speech.

It was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.

overall, my personal feeling is that the pre-iPhone, pre-Twitter world was just healthier for humanity. I fundamentally don’t think it’s healthy to have a compendium of world knowledge and a casino and a method by which you are daily contacted by organized crime in your pocket.

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.

What kind of alternate reality are you in here? Have you not seen every other post is a mutual aid post? We are not okay right now.

New York Magazine@nymag.com · yesterday

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?

I'm so pretty and talented and kinda hungry

Even if that is what it did (instead what is most likely, it just lied to you) then that would mean it's STEALING your RESEARCH, you stupid fucker. He was also like "it remembers our conversations! Almost like it's SENTIENT!" It's not, you are just thick as hell bro

Man, we are about to see some *crazy* panicked attempts at voter suppresion in this state

The State of Israel is a damned foolishness run by bigots, and it was pretty much set up by its own internal sociological makeup to turn more and more into this enormity.

Mujahed Bani Moflh's 14 months in Israeli detention were marked by starvation, abuse and injuries to his skull that led to a brain haemorrhage after release:

Despite everyone being more online than ever, it's getting harder to actually contact people privately. Emails get sent to spam, Discord makes me do captchas, DMs from strangers are hidden on a lot of platforms. Everything sucks now.

Particularly hypocritical of YouTube, which at this point in our economic collapse runs trashy ads and gives actual Nazis a platform.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

Go on my son.

Give this bin a party and a shadow government.

Hochul is turning out to be one of the smartest Dem governors. She prioritized being civil with the progressives and with young NY voters, not with the ethnic cleansers. The result? She's up 20 points in polls of the general, and her gap is growing. 👍🏿

Jeffries is learning and changing faster than Chuck Schumer, but not as fast as Kathy Hochul. Hochul said, "😳These kids are coming! Better not be on the wrong side of this! What do they want? Wait, that doesn't sound so bad? How do I align with them without losing my old, white base? Make it so!"

It’s because 9/11 is a propaganda idea. Like either the Alamo during the Texan war of independence or Pearl Harbor in world war 2. You can’t propaganda a pandemic because it exposes every flaw of this country. And it’s more convenient to sweep that under the rug than acknowledge any of it.

there were single days with a higher death count than 9/11 and they want to not only erase that but force everyone to agree any mitigation was bad and apologize to them
