Hey corporations, if I hear your ad on YouTube, I'm probably going to boycott your thing on account of Google being evil and your ad being annoying. If your ad music sounds like STOMP, I'm going to make CERTAIN I boycott your thing.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

Last week I wrote about how the absurd RICO case against Cop City protesters in Georgia threatened journalists, in addition to activists.
Now the federal government wants to do the same -- weaponize conspiracy and racketeering laws to turn dissent into a felony.

Charlie Kirk was a racist, and a Christian fascist. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. I have clips. I will always have clips.
Jesus, what a piece of SHIT. Typical (even mundane) commentary for Charlie Kirk, but still jarring to hear after two straight days of memorializing by the media.
Anyone who fires an employee for not feeling adequately sad should be forced to listen to this and answer questions on the record.

Next time you see someone telling you that Charlie Kirk was a fine man who only wanted to explore ideas, this is the final minute and change of the final podcast episode he will ever produce.
It's the old-school alt-right "13 do 50" meme. jumpshare.com/share/0Qq5nw...

i dont think multiple democratic governors should have lowered flags to half mast for a racist who said gay people should be stoned. i dont think a democratic governor should have called for continuing "the work" of a man who said mlk was a myth and evil.
is that too much to ask? ffs.

What are you blathering on about? “We knew what the right would do Democrats fell for it” fell for what ? What is it that you wanted them to do that they didn’t do What do you Oliver think needs to be done?
The minute Kirk died we all knew the right would do this and yet a cavalcade of Democrats fell for it, including Newsom and Polis. Why the fuck after decades of this are leaders in the Democratic Party so fucking stupid?

The only reason they’re doing this is to try and get AI embedded in public policy so when the bubble bursts the companies get bailed out with our tax money. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if there’s massive bribes happening behind the scenes right now.

I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'?
The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!
