@AnarchoNinaWrites NPR be like, "But is the candidate's platform compatible with Nazi ideology, or do they need to shift their messaging farther to the right to win voters?"

RFK Jr, the anti-vax muscle bunny from the Dem primary, is getting more votes than Jill Stein in at least a few critical swing states... and he isn't even running anymore lol

Current vibes

@jeffowski like fearmongering what about bringing back slavery, which is still legal under the 13th. Absolutely agree.

@jeffowski but if the Good Side isn't willing to take the actions necessary to thwart the Bad Side, by say expanding the court, holding coup organizers/enablers in Congress accountable, or defunding the police unions overwhelmingly endorsing the Bad Side... ?

@AnthonyJK @AnarchoNinaWrites the Star Chamber 😅 I kinda love that. I mean, I hate it. But I love it.

@AnthonyJK @AnarchoNinaWrites lol... i heard there was a pocketful of mumbles in the past week about doubling the minimum wage! First time I've heard of that since she accepted Senate Parliamentarian's opinion this couldn't be done, back in 2021.

@LeftistLawyer @bignose I wonder how much we could rely on reporting from India, especially the rural parts where people may be born and die without much of a paper trail. In the US, the CDC changed the threshold for what would be attributed to a COVID death from 90 days to just 30 days back in 2022, when the metric of interest was also redefined as "community levels" vs "transmission levels". A similar sleight of hand could be applied to say heat stroke fallout, but maybe not drowning.

Just thinking about all the smarmy shitlibs and centrists cheering on more #fracking as part of their #campaignofjoy, lashing out at Greens and Progressives for insisting our elected leadership can do better. Methane has about 28x as much warming potential as CO2, for those who #followthescience.

@FlashMobOfOne @QueenOfTheCroneAge yep. Do people really want to raise children on a boiling planet with contaminated air and no chance of a comfortable requirement? I'd imagine not, but I'm also not a neoliberal shill trying to sell this package.

My neighbor across the alley is sneezing very loudly, repeatedly right now. It's good for her that she's not worried about [redacted virus name] because it's very common around here now.

BREAKING: "R's are going to do bad things for immigration", says a tie-breaking vote in the Senate who refused to pass immigration reform along with $15/min wage at the behest of a non-binding opinion from the Parliamentarian. But for $24 they might change their mind.

@aral damn. I remembered reading somewhere that the sentiment was starting to shift away from that after the elections earlier this year. Unfortunate.

Plebs: hello liberal politician, we would like some healthcare please.

LibPol: sorry, no can do, how about building some cop cities?

Plebs: no, healthcare please

LibPol: nope, not on the menu, how about funding a genocide?

Plebs: no, healthcare please

LibPol: not available, but how about more drilling for fossil fuels than ever?

Plebs: no, healthcare please

LibPol: not a chance, but if you pop out a baby we'll give you a tax credit that covers some of the costs of L&D?

Plebs: well

Holy shit. Xitter has become an absolutely toxic hellhole. I snuffed my old account in early 2023, still occasionally peek at "breaking news" and viral memes, but it's so disgusting now it's not worth it.

It's flooded with bots, misinformation, and some really sick shit (no holds barred racism, antisemitism, and misogyny) cheered on by shit-for-brains right wing chuds. There are still a few good scientists and artists left on there but the quality of engagement they get is very low.

@invadersil while it may sound like tyranny, some more moderate employees on a leadership track will defend the manager's decision because he could have just placed the call and not ordered anything at all. And then nobody would get any rice, even after all the effort of placing the call. Spoiled conceited employees insisting on more grains of rice simply don't understand how management works.

Manager: Hey team- for your hard work tackling that nasty project, we're ordering out for the office! What do you want for dinner?

Team: Oh cool! How about some Thai food with some healthy appetizers, fried pork and chicken, noodles, papaya salad, and mango dessert?

Manager: Sounds yummy! I'll order a bowl of rice you all can share.

Team: Won't that be too much?

Manager: No. I'm only ordering the rice.

Team: 🥺

Manager: We appreciate your hard work, keep it coming! ☺️

@allenmichie @therobburgessshow very true. I'll it's infuriating how many moderate-centrists still insist on bargaining with these weirdos, regarding them as good faith actors representing the will of the majority when it's clear their only path forward is with manipulation and suppression of votes. Their enablers need to be the next to go, immediately if not sooner.

@SanjoSez @allenmichie @therobburgessshow cheers ✊🏻 I live in a DINO represented district (WA-3), it's an issue close to home. We'll learn if a progressive populist Indie made it through the open primary by EOD today-- it's unlikely tbh, but turnout for WA so far has been very low (21% in 2024 vs 29% in 2020) and the DINO is heavily funded by IAPAC, so at worst he might siphon enough votes from MGP to force a hard left pivot as she scrambles for ballots heading into November.

@br00t4c what a weirdo
