The inverse relationship between "people who have the power to help unhoused people" and "people who give a shit about unhoused people" is one of the most reliable features of modern politics, and makes me incandescently angry if I think about it for more than 30 seconds

The Legal System Has Abandoned Poor People to Trump’s Cruelest Impulses
Trump’s crackdown on unhoused people in D.C. is the product of a legal system that bends over backwards to protect elected officials who are bad at their jobs.

Since the world is broken, let’s all watch Tom Holland and Zendaya to feel some joy again. Protect your peace, friends.

The level of investment in new detention centers requires finding ways to fill them. So we will criminalize whatever is necessary to fill them. See also prisons.

The fact you’re all so upset about it is proof positive that taking a crap on the kitchen table is a legitimate form of visual art.

the Times - and the rest of the reactionary centrists - really, truly do not understand that your average liberal at this point is a) desperate to see anyone fighting back b) wants heads on pikes c) quite aware of how fast we are backsliding towards open bigotry

Anyway big shout out to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for finding 13 women she didn't think it was worth believing after all, and by "shout out" I mean "primary"

Very much seems like the US is entering a war with Iran because Nethanyahu started it. No broader discussion about the US national interest here from the America first guys

hey @nytimes.com what if instead of this you reported accurately that the president of the united states has violated the united states constitution by entering into war with a foreign power without the approval of congress, just like, what if

harris’ fundraising after she took over from biden shows that we will open our wallets when we see leadership. right now we don’t (with some exceptions) so no cookie for you.
from NYT: 
Chaos at the D.N.C.
The Democratic National Committee has been plagued by infighting and a drop in big donations, raising alarm as the party tries to win back power.

international systems of accountability for crimes against humanity established in the wake of the holocaust destroyed at the behest of “the light unto the nations” so that it can do its own genocide. our shame will be eternal.

I always thought the "practice of colonialism but applied internally" was a pretty comprehensive explanation of historical fascism but MAGAism and US conservativism in general seems to draw an unusually large amount of its logic from domestic abuse compared to other fascist movements

You will not understand MAGA/Trumpism until you understand how many Americans are domestic abusers or grew up in abusive environments. Trump sits in at the top of the dominance heirarchy for them in a way that does not make sense to those of us who grew up in healthy families.

The message you should take away from Elon’s rumored ketamine habit isn’t that ketamine is bad. It’s that all drugs, including ketamine, are useful in some contexts and harmful in others. If you ran a marathon in stilettos and it went poorly, trying to ban stilettos would be a bizarre reaction.

Art is a powerful truth-teller. #NoOtherLand lays bare the ugly reality of Israeli apartheid & ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Mazel tov & Mabrouk to Basel & Yuval, who, like us, know that there is no safety, no future, without solidarity, freedom, justice, & equality for all.

A good way to understand why wealth inequality is a problem is, if some idiot says "no regulations should exist" you just laugh at him, but if that idiot has $400 billion then it's an existential crisis for America.

imo take this a step further and ask yourself, "how many people have to be in camps, and how bad do the conditions in the camps have to be, before i would consider it imperative to remove trump from office, even outside the normal constitutional mechanisms of end-of-term transition or impeachment?"

As a millennial I don't feel threatened when Zoomers talk about how things are harder for them then they were for me. It's true! No one is trying to take anything away from Xers and Boomers. We simply want some recognition that the economy is hard on young people and getting harder.

Fair point
Yale history professor Timothy Snyder noted: “That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial.”

I work just north of where these accidents took place and know the area well. That the only solution people can come up with to this problem - caused by cars! - is "ban ebikes" just shows how dominant dipshit windshield poisoning is in the region

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social Every example in this article about the dangers of e-bikes is someone getting hit by a van archive.is/20230729124833/https://w…
Screenshot of article text: Communities have begun to alert their residents to the dangers of e-bikes. In June, the police department in Bend, Ore., ran a public service campaign acquainting the public with the e-bike laws that were frequently being broken there. Days later, a 15-year-old boy was killed when the e-bike he was riding was struck by a van.Screenshot of article text: He had been riding from home to shot-putting practice. The e-bike, a model made by Rad Power, had a top speed of 20 miles per hour, but his route took him on a busy road with a 55-mile-per-hour limit. While turning left, he was clipped by a Nissan van and thrown violently.
