  • I mean, yeah. MAGA is immune to logic and reason, but conspiracies are their refuge from cognitive dissonance. We just have to be willing to weaponize it.

  • Trump was a supplier of girls to Epstein through his pageants. Everyone is saying it.

  • Well now, that's an actual play by the Democrats, I'm a little surprised. Of course the Republicans have to vote against it because they have to protect President Smooth Brain, but this then drags out the story over another news cycle when Trump is desperate for people to stop talking about it.

    Now, all this means nothing because the base will eventually get to "it's ok for Trump to have raped those girls because he was saving them from the evil Democrats who would have done worse" but at least there's a small moment where I can imagine things matter.

  • Well knot that shocked.

  • A song about leaving a committed relationship with someone to go sow your wild oats? Troi doing some deep cut heckling here.

  • Germany has been on my list of places to flee to if the fascists here start rounding up LGBT folks. I have lapsed fluency from when I lived there 30 years ago but I am confident it would come back quickly. The problem is that my husband doesn't speak any German at all and I think it would be a culture shock for him.

  • I am fortunate to have moved to a climate where the heat is less severe and when it is hot it tends to be dry-ish. My house does not have AC so we put a big exhaust fan on the top floor and crack a window downstairs. Works so far, but we have some small portable AC units for the bedrooms just in case we need them.

  • There is a lot more yikes in the article than I was expecting.

  • Golly, I can't understand why younger generations aren't having more kids.

  • You may be confusing democratic socialism and social democracy. They are similar in their short-term goals, but democratic socialist have fundamental economic reform as their long-term goal, while social democrats just want to curtail the social problems of capitalism.

  • We need like a hundred more Mamdanis and AOCs.

  • This is why 62% of Democrats say they need new leaders. The neoliberals (and their billionaire backers) are afraid of losing power while the ground-level party is already shifting. I'm not convinced that splitting off the progressives will be productive in our current electoral system. By the time the Democrats die off the fascists will have abolished elections. Instead I envision an outcome similar to the political realignment the GOP just finished, where a growing progressive caucus gains enough traction in primaries to force concessions from the party leadership until the neoliberals are all but pushed out entirely.

  • Yep, he is a Democratic Socialist which is actual socialism, unlike Social Democrats who are still capitalists.

  • So we revealed the limits of our precision strike capabilities to our adversaries all over the world and didn't even achieve our mission objective? Nice move, Trump. Maybe you could reveal more of our sub locations while you're at it.

  • Hopefully this heralds the realignment of the Democrats back towards a pro-worker party. Neoliberalism has failed this country for 35 years.

    Quomo is a comically bad candidate and Mamdani is a very good one so I don't think we can expect results like this in every primary. If progressives can keep finding highly qualified people I think we have a chance.

  • No carrier has cell service at my house but maybe they will add a sat phone.

  • My ACL says my TV can't talk to the internet.

  • This already sort of happened in Texas where the state claimed that cities like Houston had "failed school systems" then appointed right wing toadies to run the district. In several schools they eliminated libraries, replacing them with Discipline Centers. They also make life hell for teachers or just fire them outright and replace them with unqualified ideologues.

    The Republicans will definitely use that same process to deprive state and local governments of their autonomy.

  • Alt National Park Service is not credible, they are basically a left-targeting qanon. The organizers of the protest say they had 5 million people in attendance.
