Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

regarding the solar panels on parking lots/fields thing. farmers need electricity too. oil/gas uses up/destroys more agricultural land than solar does. I never hear people saying we should frack parking lots.

"It takes 30-50 years to get get a single mile of high speed rail up in California, but a tech company can pay off all the politicians in your area and plop down a data center in two months even though your entire community shows up against it. You live under a dictatorship of capital.
You live under something insanely un-democratic."

My fiber internet has been unreliable lately, ever since Verizon purchased it. sometimes it goes out for several days at a time. Luckily Verizon has a new modem which includes a 5g connection! for just a subscription fee my internet can be reliable again. capitalism solves problems folks.

soon it will be 20 years since Obama's election. and the dnc legacy for the past 20 years seems to just be eschewing fdr-style progressivism, letting down their voters, and paving the way for trump's version of "yes we can" and "hope and change"

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

if trump does deploy the military to Asia again then, well, thank you for your service to the oil industry. there would be no all-time-highs and ever-increasing dividends without your sacrifice.

I see people saying solar energy will bring peace to the world. I think it's a good way to generate support for solar energy, because people want peace. but to those of you who are warmongers, also remember that solar energy won't bring peace & you can support solar too along with the pacifists.

strange how liz Cheney disappeared after she helped trump win by associating herself and thus her daddy dick Cheney with the dnc candidate.

if only the republicans cared about America's present and its future. they are so obsessed with America's past. their own past. an entire party of people who only fear the future and what it will bring. people who see no place for themselves in the future.

rightwingers keep talking about how books can be dangerous to children. just saw some article where a chatbot 1984 removed from a library because could be upsetting to children. reading is an active task one has to continually choose to do... if a kid is upset by a book then they'll stop reading.

so the "productive talks" the republicans mentioned is just Iran informing the republicans they would retaliate against Middle East desalination plants. what a productive discussion.

qatar bribes trump and in return gets their desal plants destroyed. wonderful. that's your just reward for your part in usurping United States democracy.

republicans: "you can't rely on solar and wind because sometimes it rains" nevermind how we rely on solar power to produce all of our calories and oxygen. and solar power is more abundant than fossil fuels (which are fossilized solar power btw). but iran & republicans prove oil/gas is unreliable.

every month I hear new stories of a seat flipping from republican to democratic and I just get a feeling of dread that the dnc will continue to campaign on the republican's failings instead of a progressive platform which inspires a new age of american ingenuity and renaissance

just finished Joe Abercrombie books after reading the Pierce Brown series and Tchaicovsky's children of time series. quite a hard act to follow for the next book, anybody have any suggestions? I was thinking Prachett, maybe Hobb.

the Bible quickly became detached from Jesus' teachings and has since killed so many people and destroyed so many civilizations. pretty much right when Rome adopted it as their national religion, and probably before Jesus' body went cold.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

bluesky sees people talking about hegseth announcing war crimes and using Ellison to silence criticism from can, and bluesky labels the discussion as "media criticism". thanks bluesky. I would suggest maybe "war crimes" as the topic instead.

editorialboard in china in 1990: that we are not seeing massive worker protests in china like the ones we saw in Tiananmen square suggests a level of bad faith in many of those protests.

racism probably. america since its inception has not wanted everybody to vote. republicans attacking education is a roundabout way to attack voting, since we can't let idiots make important decisions.

of course trump knew their shoe size. he didn't want to accidentally get shoes that would fit them or be too small for them to wear in front of the journalists.

Iran threatening California shows just how bullshit and unimportant the divisions are in this country tbh. they threaten California because they are our money-maker, breadbasket, and center of american culture. republicans hating on California are hating on america.

@kevinbaker.bsky.social trump-putin theorizing is not that strange when you remember both trump and putin are idiots. just because you see them doing stupid stuff doesn't negate the obvious ties established multiple times by journalists, cops, and even republican politicians.

gas went up by 60 cents in mere days & china sells electric cars with 450 miles of range for 25k. america is a pathetic joke of a country. I just want to take a train to the beach but we have rightwingers forcing me to buy, insure, and maintain a 20k used car that runs on rightwinger-owned fuel.

when people say "nuclear energy is not safe" they aren't talking about Three Mile, Chernobyl, Fukushima, or nuclear waste. nuclear would already be dangerous if that was all we had to worry about. what they are talking about is the Iran war. nuclear energy is not safe because it encourages war.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

genuinely upset with Texas DNC party proposition 1. "expand medicaid" sure, wonderful. "ensure access to healthcare" what a mealy-mouth weasel phrase. would the DNC be happy with a 30k deducible plan? that's "access" to healthcare! no, I want UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, FREE at the point of service.

People have been treating GRRM unfairly. I said it. So what he's hasn't finished his story fast enough to make you happy in this content-driven world. One lesson of life I have observed. We all leave our stories unfinished. that is the nature of stories people tell, they are always unfinished.

boomers got free air from gas stations to fill their tires and then turn around and tell the young that they can't get expect anything for free. also college education was basically free for the elder boomers. a year of undergrad now is more expensive than a year of med school was for the boomers.
