This was my first pinned post here and one of the first posts I was kind of happy about. Right when I started actually using this place.
It is that the power exists at all, to speak on behalf of a god that does not exist. To impose a mythology on a Human Being without consent, teaching them that this mythology is reality.

That's what I am angry about.

The existence of this power is in itself an abuse.

And he's totally setting the stage to disregard a Supreme Court loss claiming doing so would present a "national security" threat.

This makes my skin crawl to read. Just so deeply embarrassing out infuriating. Print this out and mail it to your reps. Read it to them on their voicemails. They all need to feel unimaginable shame until they finally grow the collective spine to - at the very least - call for new leadership.

Average healthcare costs in the US:

Giving birth? $18,000

Cancer treatment? $150,000

One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.

That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.

Cost in Canada? $0.

Cost in the UK? $0.

Cost in Australia? $0.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.

We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

This pisses me off, man, seriously.

Ive watched his cops run up to a line and swing batons like baseball bats at the heads of protesters sitting on the sidewalk. Watched them trample protesters and press on horses. An LAPD cop *ran over* a protester past month. Highly trained? Don’t make me laugh
Missing from this statement is it is LAPD who often escalate these events into violence. “Highly trained” officers my ass

More like bullies with riot guns

Fuck it I’m writing about this tomorrow

It was clearly the supremes backing off and figuring they can get back to it another time, and that is a bit of a win, to not lose yet
Well, at least Kim Davis lost today.

Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.

1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.

Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

How is this still happening in 2025? 13 infants hospitalized for botulism contaminated ByHeart formula. The 2022 crisis exposed similar oversight and manufacturing failures with Abbott. 3 years later, gaps are still there, and Trump’s FDA cuts only make things worse.
