  • I fucking love her!

    Edit: Chappell Roan is donating proceeds to Palestine and told the Whitehouse to fuck off when they tried to pink-wash her.

    She’s extremely political and this quote is cherry picked out of context.

    She’s criticizing the engine of celebrity endorsement and asking us to engage directly.

  • Harris’ Turn To The Dark (Money) Side

    Jump

  • Thank you. I guess I should have added a disclosure?

    Disclosure: Everybody still vote for Harris regardless of the dark money. Just be informed of what's going on.

  • Are the downvotes just because it's Kamala or because taking dark money is bad?

  • Correct. He's still the current POTUS and this is embarrassing. Our leader is this far gone.

  • Harris’ Turn To The Dark (Money) Side

    Jump

  • The Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision — a development decades in the making — triggered the flood of dark money by ruling that politically active nonprofits such as 501(c)(4) “social welfare” organizations can spend unlimited amounts to influence elections. Such nonprofits are considered “dark” because they don’t have to disclose their donors, allowing them to bombard Americans with political ads and messages without revealing the identities or motives of the people funding them.

    Both parties have come to rely on dark money, but critics say such behavior from Democrats is especially hypocritical. The party has repeatedly introduced legislation to stop anonymous political donations, including a 2019 bill co-sponsored by Harris, and its 2024 platform pledged to “end ‘dark money’ by requiring full disclosure of contributors and ban 501(c)(4) organizations from spending on elections.”

  • No Party Is Standing Up for Immigrants Right Now

    Jump

  • Please read the article before doing a knee jerk reaction to the headline.

    Over the past year in particular, Democrats have abandoned the positive arguments for immigration and its benefits and contributions to American life that were standard for both the party and American tradition — a positive vision that was politically successful for them during the Trump years. Instead, they have taken the cowardly option of trying to outdo Republicans over who can be harsher immigration hawks.

    Since this is a game Democrats can never win — there is virtually no inhumane policy they could adopt or carry out that will make voters view Republicans as softer on immigration — they have received no discernible political benefit from this. Which, of course, hasn’t changed their thinking an iota.

    So now we have the Kamala Harris campaign not just constantly touting a terrible immigration bill and its legally dubious ending of the right to asylum, but even promising to build Trump’s border wall, for years the physical symbol of the cruelty, racism, and stupidity of Trump’s immigration agenda. The Democrats’ promise to clamp down on asylum seekers, incidentally, would negatively affect at least some of the same Haitian migrants in Springfield whom Republicans are inciting violence against.

    As we’ve seen so many times in American politics, the appalling behavior of the Right gives the liberal center a largely free pass on its own misdeeds.

  • The feature is going away but on Google Maps they have a Timeline section where you can go back and see exactly where you've been each day. I found it useful when I traveled in Japan to see the names of shops and restaurants I stopped at but then realized... Google has known everywhere I've been for over a decade now. Hmm.

  • Teamsters union declines to endorse in presidential election, breaking decades of precedent

    Jump

  • “Neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement.

    He added, “We sought commitments from both [former president Donald] Trump and [Vice President Kamala] Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries—and to honor our members’ right to strike—but were unable to secure those pledges.”
