The problem with capitalism is you eventually run out of other people’s planet to ruin.

But I thought the president is a king now
The Biden administration cannot enforce new anti-discrimination rules in health care for transgender Americans, a Mississippi federal judge ruled, citing a recent landmark Supreme Court ruling that weakened the power of federal agencies.

Gonna be honest, a real fucking President I might begrudgingly respect would’ve called him the first time a hospital was bombed and said “if you don’t knock this shit off I will turn off the aid faucet so fucking fast your head will spin. From now on you don’t take a shit without MY permission.”
Yelling at Netanyahu is something any president worth shit would be doing at the bare minimum.

Overwhelming majority of non-voters are impoverished, non-white people who cannot afford to take time off work to stand in line for 6+ hours to fill in a ballot at one of the 4 polling stations in their state. It is not laziness - it is a deliberate barrier set by the political class. You’re racist.

Oh my god, you guys. I think this might not be a joke. “Save Democracy. Ask people nicely to vote for genocide.”

These people are super normal.
Non-voters are livestock, not citizens. They have no power. What they want is not important. They are to be fed and watered and harvested by the owners

Cool, we don’t give a shit about the opinions of people who vote for genocide, but figure they can weasel out of their lack of conscience with “the other guy will be worse… assuming there will be anything left of the place my guy is leveling.

Reality is the genocide of tens of thousands of Palestinians. Stop acting like we’re asking for a goddamn pony.

No one abstains from voting for rent control bc they don’t like the presidential candidates. I swear, liberals are second only to conservatives when it comes to making shit up.

Ah, Europe. Where “collective good” and “housing justice” aren’t dirty words accused of “stealing our freedom.” Seriously, Airbnb is a HUGE part of why renting in NYC is near impossible. But imagine the meltdowns if they tried to ban it here.
A total ban is the only sane policy for Airbnb. There obviously needs to be accommodation in cities for visitors, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of housing units for people who actually live there. More governments should follow Barcelona’s lead.
Barcelona Plans to Ban All Short-Term Rentals for Tourists From 2029www.bloomberg.com Barcelona plans to enact a citywide ban on all short-term rentals to address complaints that tourism is to blame for a local housing crisis and soaring rents.

I know everyone says "their reporters do great work" and that's true, but over the course of my life, the New York Times has institutionally had multiple points at which it was important to choose "be evil" or do the right thing and they've fucked it hard every time

Really? The *worst*? Dunno, I kind of feel like Trump supporters and Zionists who shrug off genocide are a LOT worse than frustrated people who see the system collapsing and murdering people and would do ANYTHING to make that stop.
the worst dudes online are the guys who are like “the time for electoral politics is over, it’s time for guillotines.” yeah bud i’m sure you’ll stop posting and get the ball rolling on the guillotines any minute now.

Look, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I still can't believe that people think not wanting to vote for someone who has been involved with committing crimes against humanity throughout his entire career is just being a single-issue voter. Do they not realize that there are A LOT of issues involved in destroying so many lives?

SCOTUS: the president has unlimited executive power now, and can never be prosecuted for anything done in an official capacity THE PRESIDENT: wow that's a pretty big threat to democracy but there's nothing i can do about it so you better vote jack

The democrats are not now and will never be equipped to actually defend democracy. They literally cannot countenance getting dirty at home, now matter how many kids they kill abroad

Just think: if we kept voting, we could elect a whole string of Democratic Presidents all of whom would tell us that they can't do anything and that it was up to us to elect another Democratic President who would also not be able to do anything.

But Biden would never. Because they’re on the same team.
Clarence Thomas unquestionably committed tax fraud on his motorcoach deal and the president has the power to put him in handcuffs this afternoon, in his official capacity in charge of the IRS and federal law enforcement

My partner (an attorney) just explained to me exactly how Trump’s lawyers fixed it so the Supreme Court would absolutely *have to* kick his case back down to the lower court, and the fact that there’s no way to prevent these shenanigans blows my mind. Except for the fact that I know this is rigged.

Everyone knows that no Democrat is ever going to do this. Democratic Party partisans prefer explanations like "party leaders are inept or too polite" but the real answer is class interest: the Democratic Party does not work for its base but for its wealthy donors and this is against their interest

Starting to see the Tumblr/Discord/Twitter trauma cluster blame everyone criticizing them for being transphobic and transmisogynist and I'm here to tell you that it is not at all. The criticism is well deserved. They, as people, fucked up because they ignored Kairi's flaws, and our warnings.

This observation is a decent one. But damn, did adding the responses to my “Blue MAGA says genocide is a necessary evil” mutelist give me a bsky workout. (To find list, use my profile.)
I feel like the main political divide on this website is between “Joe Biden is terrible and old and I hate him” and “Joe Biden is terrible and old and I will crawl over broken glass to vote for a rancid ham sandwich against Donald Trump” very few people are actually huge fans of the guy
Avatar
I forget, are “giving the far-right 80% of what they want on immigration and trans rights” left-wing policy goals? because if so, Biden has really come through for us these past few months!

it's basically the same thing smantha did. "oh, i'm definitely not a zionist and think palestinians are people!" and then they never post about palestine but post incessantly about how anti-zionists are hurting zionists' feelings
