There isn’t a force on earth that would have kept me from saying “insubordinate?! You’re not our boss, asshole!” in this situation.
I’m guessing they don’t put the neurodivergent reporters in these roles for that exact reason.

Trump calls a reporter “insubordinate” and “a terrible person” after she asks a question about Epstein. I’m not going to say what the question was because I think it’s worth turning up the volume to hear for yourself.

Oh does Chomsky suck? Wow. Real shockeroo.
It’s almost like you shouldn’t trust people who minimize genocides that are inconvenient for their personal line of bullshit. Might be a bit of a red fucking flag there.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Seriously though there is sooooo much cool stuff in here & lots of perfect gifts for those tricky giftees. Lots of pins & stickers & other small items too, which can be so helpful when you have a tight budget.
It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!
If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

I know people are starting to purchase things for the holidays so I'm bumping this thread. Use it to find independent artists to purchase from! Cut off the billionaires! Support people who make things!
