Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Reports: Brazil police have indicted Jair Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association

“I love America like Anthony Bourdain or Woody Guthrie did” is the phrasing I’ve settled on

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

The New York Times ratfucking operation in favor of Trump is so incredibly blatant that it’s beyond parody. If you saw ratfucking like this coming from a newspaper in a movie, you’d probably think it was a bit over the top.

Here it is, the dumbest thing you will read today www.nytimes.com/2024/07/04/o...

We're having turkey today, go figure

Happy 4th of July! In the wise words of Ben Franklin: The Bald Eagle is a Bird of bad moral Character. Too lazy to fish for himself. The Turkey is a more respectable Bird, though vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would attack a Brit who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.

If you care about the USA, the single best thing you can do today is to contribute to a downticket race thats close. The second best thing you can do is cancel your NYT subscription and use that money for the purpose.

When I worked in Minnesota in the legislature, there were bills every year to legalize fireworks. And there would be hearings. And people would be like, “Pfft, who testifies against this? Busybody neighbors?” The actual answer was firefighters and doctors, mostly. Especially eye doctors.

Horrifying. All, if you know young ppl who will use fireworks these next few weeks, please do what you can to either discourage them entirely or make sure they use them safely. Hundreds of young ppl will be in the ER with firework injuries this month. Many of these injuries will be life altering.

idk if it's a failure of the legislation itself (I haven't read it) but it's kinda fucked up how "cookie consent" dialogues put so much focus on the cookies themselves, and not the actual tracking and selling of user data, etc.

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.

Their basic activity are weekly clinics where they fix people's bikes or teach other using the donated bikes When the donated bikes are completely rebuilt they enter the free to volunteers pool or some of them become "mascot" bikes they ride or park around campus for promo If you get a club bike

IDK kind of feels like we should be paying more attention to a prominent conservative think tank saying we're in the midst of a second american revolution that will remain bloodless as long as long as the left lets it be, then whether or not Biden should step down.

they have these gatherings of annoying people called city council meetings and if you bring a couple other annoying people regularly you can actually accomplish a lot

Being annoying as praxis is only the first step. The second step is to gather likeminded neighbors and friends and ask each other how you can maximize your joint annoyingness. Congrats: this is called organizing, you’re building a base of your common man united on a common cause.
