I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering β€œdistractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

High Welfare and Assurance Labels: What They Really Mean When you see labels like β€œFree range” or β€œRSPCA Assured,” you’re not seeing animal welfare - you’re seeing a marketing strategy.

Just had a Democrat tell me that the new (whatever that means) socialist party is the party of Trump.

What the fuck does this even mean? I've been a socialist for more than 30 years. I didn't know we had a new socialist party.

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding The House minority leader said Democrats will "cross that bridge when we get to it" but added that President Donald Trump has so far failed to justify his "war of choice."

Democrats are hero-worshiping this man. Keep on supporting those corporate Democrats that care more about their donors than you, Democrats.

People where I live have admitted to hitting flex posts on purpose to make cycle lanes accessible to cars and to discourage cycling. If they can do that without fear of consequence (neither damage to their vehicle nor social, other financial or legal consequences), flex posts aren't up to the job.

I love when Democrats try to explain socialism to me. All I hear is corporate media and Democratic Party definitions. Before any of you come at me with the "You put Trump in office" bullshit, do some research.

None of you can tell me what socialism is. You only know what you hear from the Democratic party and the corporate news media. Go ahead and keep supporting those corporate Democrats who care more about their donors than you. When talking to Democrats, it's like talking to a brick wall. Peace out.

Oh, boy. You just opened a big can of worms. First off, Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist. He's not a Democrat. AOC is a Democrat in name only. She should run as a socialist or, at least, a Democratic Socialist. Sanders lost in 2016 and 2020 because the Democratic party shit all over him. Next?

I'm not a Democratic Socialist. I'm a Socialist. There's a difference.

You know, if gas prices are getting painfully high, one option is to drive less.

Seriously, can anyone think of a product category where such a high percentage of options sold are so poorly designed to do their primary job as bike racks? Can you imagine if 40% of corkscrews couldn't really open a bottle of wine? Or water fountains where it's basically impossible to get a drink?

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

Western countries backing what the US and Israel are doing in Iran aren’t just going to lose legitimacy in the eyes of their domestic publics, but are shredding any notion a new alliance of middle powers or whatever can defend any semblance of an international order.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

If you want "better politicians", stop voting for corporate Democrats and Republicans.
