You know what? I agree. He's less talented than Kimmel AND he should not be president.
Trump: We never had a president hosting the awards. If I cannot beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, I don't think I should be president.

I got a job at a community development organization in Philly and ended up being the "Computer's doing something weird again, can you fix it" person.

On the "positive" side, if the oligarchs get the economy they want, these grister posting jobs will eventually come back to the US
american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.

Across places, races & parties, most Americans believe violence has no place in our politics. We settle differences & decide our futures by selecting leaders, not threatening death to our opponents. Trump & his MAGA minions just keep proving they are a regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.

Savannah, GA, 1994. Bunch of college kids killing time in a park, and someone told us that Old Mrs Carnegie "stood up on her hind legs and said no" to renovating our destination.
do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

I just don't know why we started letting Republicans say "I don't know" to any question they don't like without responding "then what DO you know? And WHY don't you know?"
really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield
Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?
MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

"Be punctual" and "All times approximate" are confusing when placed next to each other like that
I saw this on FB on Monday but hadn't said anything about it because I figured this was just a bunch of keyboard warriors talking a big game. But now that the OR GOP is promoting this, it seems more concerning. The timing is 100% not coincidental. The pretext is that this is about a recall petition.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

My favorite armchair comment is Americans don‘t understand authoritarianism, because so many of you don’t count Black people as Americans. Learn the history or shut up.

We're now less than 12 hours away from a shutdown and House Republicans aren't even in D.C.
House Democrats are ALL here, ready to vote on a bill that protects healthcare & reinforces Congress as a separate but EQUAL branch of government.
If Republicans are serious: they know where to find us.
