When I was a child, I thought everything America did was great and everyone who hated America was bad. When I was a young adult, I started reading Chomsky and Howard Zinn and thought America was evil. Today, I'm old enough to understand more about history, economics and international diplomacy. I see America as a deeply flawed country still suffering from the original wound of slavery - but a general force for geostability. We have admirable ideals when we live up to them. And as fascism is on the rise all around the globe, I understand that if we don't get our shit together - fascism will win. America *is* great, but only when good people help steer the ship.

Kyle Rittenhouse is 20 years old, broke and has no job prospects. Well, kiddo! Might I recommend this option? No? Then stop your fucking whining, you little bitch.

The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform. If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources.

Like a ‘choose your own adventure’, but of crimes.

Biden won’t overrule the parliamentarian on a $15 minimum wage ruling but he’s gonna round up online conservatives? How do you square that?

Exactly

I’m telling you, if Epstein had become a right wing culture war grifter a month before being arrested he would today be an uncritically beloved hero to 95% of conservatives and they would all claim the child sex trafficking accusations were deep state lies to silence him

So let me get this straight: Republicans are threatening to remove their own Speaker, impeach the President, and shut down the government on September 30th - disrupting everyday people’s paychecks and general public operations. For what? I don’t think even they know. Chaos vibes

Absolute pudding brain freaks

So I hear Tweets are now Xeets (pronounced “skeets”), and this platform is now called Xitter (pronounced “shitter”). Can @elonmusk confirm this? Is this where you go to xeet on the Xitter? #twitter #X #manypeoplearesaying

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness. After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

I love when grifters perform their Christianity.

This fucking guy everybody

I keep getting this stop message, across accounts, for the first follow I’ve tried in probably weeks. Wtf @elonmusk?

Excited and humbled to share that this evening I was selected to serve as @RepRaskin’s #2 on the House Oversight Committee. Thank you to my colleagues on @OversightDems for entrusting me with this responsibility. I’m thrilled to get to work with our incredible Oversight team!

beside the fact he’s lost more money than anyone ever… DOES HE NOT KNOW HOW CAPITALISM WORKS? CAPITALISM RELIES ON DEBT TO GROW IF THERE WAS NO DEBT THERE WOULD BE NO MONEY YOU GOT RICH FROM THE DEBT OF YOUR INVESTORS BC THEY THOUGHT YOU’D MAKE THEM MONEY THAT’S HOW IT WORKS

BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has been Caught On Tape saying Republicans should engage in "corrupt as hell" voting practices

The more your sources of information have to tell you that you’re right and smart and good—the less likely it is that you’re consuming right and smart and good information. #goodinformationmatters

Dipschittenfreude: That feeling you get when people operating with remarkable stupidity or moral hazard finally get their just desserts “2022 started out as a year of intense dipshittery, but it looks like we’ll be blessed with boatloads of dipschittenfreude in 2023.”

Oooh a House seat in Idaho🙄 DETAIL: The “glitch” was that early votes in the county weren’t counted… Inquiring minds may wonder if early votes were intentionally not counted in the GOP-controlled district until their guy was behind after the initial total. Anywhere else?
