Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

D+33 among independents is "unaffiliated voters start spontaneously forming Zouave units in defense of the Republic and the cause of liberty; down with the traitors, up with the stars!" territory

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

The most corrupt America Last President in history. Every day a new pardon worse than one the day before.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark

Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap

The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name

He did this six times

Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel
what did ruth mean when she said her steakhouse was "chris"

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

They know democratic power mongers have the memory of a goldfish and will love them as soon as they flip flop back
Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.
CBS News current president Tom Cibroski praised Weiss on the call, saying "Bari's energy and passion is infectious and you will feel it, big time." He also added that the Free Press and CBS News "are going to learn a lot from each other...that's what this is all about."

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

the best album this year is a video game soundtrack they charged 50 bucks for and threw in the game of the decade. It's a french art film based on an obscure french novel about a man trying to get his family to go outside and touch grass

With regards to marriage equality, remember:

They have already overturned Roe.

They're coming for Obergefell.

They're coming for Lawrence v. TX.

They're coming for contraception.

They're coming for no-fault divorce.

The only thing that will stop them is if we come for them.
The only thing that will stop Trump is a grassroots movement using diverse tactics.

(not just protests! We need boycotts, strikes, slowdowns, guerrilla art, disruptions, gumming the works from the inside, etc) from a cross-section of society.

It’s on us.

This is a good point for everyone, uhhh, not Black, Brown, and/or from the US.

When people in the suburbs especially talk about crime, they are not talking about the wild ass shit going down in the Walmart parking lot at night. They're talking about me fumbling with my keys at my own front door.
Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”
