From the Wikipedia page for West Homestead, PA. I don’t think I’ve ever seen “notable person” on Wikipedia before.

Polling and election forecasting for public consumption are absolute social ills. I will die on this hill.

What was the turning point when Republicans stopped feeling any obligation to provide disaster relief to cities and states that didn’t vote for them? Hurricane Katrina? Sandy?

Yeah, the current government was re-elected shortly after another botched disaster response and power grid failure. It’s grim. I feel awful for Houston and everyone suffering because of this.

It’s crazy that the Texas Governor and Lieutenant Governor don’t even really pretend to give a shit about responding to disasters anymore. Reading this, they don’t really deny what Biden and the people from FEMA have said.

They want to take away overtime pay “How many hours did you work this week?” “60” “Well well well looks like we only need you for 20 hours next week, so no OT, sorry about that”

No but for real, there are definitely a lot of people looking to politics for the sorts of feelings that humans have typically gotten from religion, and then they get furious when politics doesn’t provide that.

“I’m gonna end up helping someone else sleep” Jesus. That attitude grosses me out, especially as violent crime victim who would’ve likely become true crime fodder if I had died.

It’s very bad that multiple genocidal leaders in foreign countries are banking on Trump winning so they can do whatever they want with zero pushback.

If you’ve gotten so hopeless that hearing about other people having hope is personally offensive to you, maybe grab a nap for a few months, I don’t think we need you on the frontlines. And you probably need a break.

It appears that the solidarity shown by the non-fascist parties in France has led to the defeat, at least for today, of the fascists. Specifically, left & center coordinated to support the candidate most likely to defeat the fascists in hundreds of constituencies. There’s a lesson to be learned.

Even if Biden had knocked it outta the park at the debate (and I wish he had), the first debate followed immediately by the immunity ruling from SCOTUS would’ve been a LOT. It really hit everyone in the face w the fact that the election is happening very soon and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

I’m not saying there’s nothing Dems should be doing differently, but a whole lotta people on here need to recognize that there is no candidate or strategy that will alleviate their (completely justified!) anxiety about this election. I’m including myself in that.

In my experience teaching middle school, there’s been an increase in kids with no filter over the last 10 years or so. There have always been some, but it’s become a higher % of students who think every single thought they have should be broadcast to everyone in every situation.

abigail disney’s staggering hypocrisy here is one of the many ways in which you get reminded that even when astronomically wealthy people pay lip service to equality and progressive politics, they understand that the rules they themselves agree with in theory will not be applicable to them

Everyone who hasn’t already needs to cancel all their NYT subscriptions. Even Puzzles and Cooking subscriptions - those go a long way towards subsidizing the paper as a whole. It’s so fucking egregious at this point.
