I’m sorry, this is more than “a caveat,” it’s actually the whole story.

This is amazing and is a serious way to start to fight back the fascist menace we as Americans face. This is just amazing and I cannot say enough good things about this kind of thing. We need more of this in other areas let’s crowd source a pro democracy movement response before the election.

Fight against daunting odds, because it’s the right thing to do, and because sometimes you win.

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

Of course it isn't all that the voters need. If that's what *you* think about what *I* think, what does that say about you?

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

"President Biden, who seemed fully conscious and did not drool on himself, warned that an asteroid would wipe out all life in three days. Though he's been long dogged by questions about his physical and mental stamina, the president remained upright as he briefed the nation on the coming apocalypse"

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

Chickenshit Times closed comments on its awful editorial. This is what I tried to say: "The Times' and A.G. Sulzberger's petulant vendetta against Joe Biden is inexcusable and damaging to democracy. I am ashamed for a once-great newspaper. "

They shouldn't have them on to begin with because they're liars. But if they do, don't the hosts/talking heads need to then tell the truth to the viewers and refute their guests? I don't get why they don't do that if they claim to be serious journalists....

Immediately make Roberts' response the focus of an urgent investigation and Congressional hearings into the most blatantly corrupt SCOTUS in American history. Back those sons of bitches hiding in robes of stolen legitimacy against the wall.

google search has been getting shittier by the month for years and what pushed me over the edge to DDG was the addition of irrelevant questions written by a North Korean content form or, now, more likely Google's AI.

Even before hospitals started buying up all of the medical practices/services cos, the insurance cos and the "health providers" were busy establishing approved procedures and reimbursement rates that left the patient's needs and wishes completely out of the equation. OUAT it was not this way at all.

Can someone tell me when Trump was funny?

Is NYT talking about the jokes about disabled people or the jokes about women or are they just talking about Trump's dangerous targeting of people he hates?

Is the schtick about siccing his mob on journalists funny?

This is fine for the CEO of an American company. It’s absolutely unacceptable for an essential US defense contractor and the lack of alarm about this in DC, along with the lack of alarm about him turning Twitter into a Nazi-minting machine, is one of the most alarming things we face.
