the reason why we must break the unions and force them to bend the knee to Woke is because they have failed at their singular job, which is to ensure the continued employment of highly abrasive blue collaroids

I suspect that a lot of the wealthy owners and operators of national media outlets with kids in private schools fundamentally don't grasp that regular US citizens with kids in the public schools are FURIOUS because ICE is terrorizing THEIR NEIGHBORS and THEIR KIDS' BEST FRIENDS.
what the fuck are we doing here, @cnn.com?

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship.

No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

I am being completely serious when I say these are the moments where we begin developing left-lib wingnut welfare. We should make this guy rich and begin establishing the norm that you can get paid for being on our team.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

also, i somehow missed the giant jack daniel’s ad on the wall, but prominently highlighting jack daniel’s is going to get them mocked all the way into the sun, this is going to be fucking hilarious, it’s like doing a run special with captain morgan’s spiced, just the most mid, basic shit of all time
not for nothing, but “i think i am gonna get into being a whiskey guy” feels like a distinctly 00s or 10s thing, which is very funny given how badly weiss wants to be cutting edge

They killed her because they didn't like her political beliefs and political actions. That's worse than picking a random person to kill.
your journalists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should

Life in Minnesota is getting invited to the house of a lady who you met in a neighborhood signal chat because she said she needed a dozen whistles and then talking for an hour in her kitchen about how to develop an anti-ICE patrol for her kid’s fucking preschool.

Bolsonaro's in jail for 28 years, Yoon was successfully removed via impeachment, and now faces a death sentence for attempting a coup.

These are the total opposite of the failed Weimar—and now we can say American—approaches to dealing with right wing efforts to overthrow the political order.
