If you ever feel like a worthless loser who will never amount to anything, just think about how New Hampshire's state legislature has 400 seats to represent only 1.3 million people, and the Libertarians still can't win a single one of them.
after 4 years of being assured that the president is much too bound by procedure and precedent to act with any real agency, i'm not too concerned about trump becoming president again. the parliamentarian will hold him in check
The part of the Wikipedia page that covers what arguments Saddam Hussein's lawyer made agree with you?
Thanks, Hasan. You've given us a lot to think about.
Biden's had plenty of speeches with this kind of energy. They're not even that hard to find. People have convinced themselves he's senile because:
A. It's uncool to like Biden
B. They only see and share the bad moments because of A

President Joe Biden reportedly plans to spend a portion of his State of the Union Address leaning heavily into the notion that his fellow Americans are idiots.

Be that as it may, a person who showers fewer times a year than she has sex doing a "DIY fecal transplant" and exclaiming "I ate poop!" is funny juxtaposition

Will, just because you don’t feel anything doesn’t mean nobody else does
There is actually a long history of people being concerned about the slaughter of other innocent people.
Launching missiles at Yemen in retaliation for Houthi ship attacks launched in protest of the Israeli genocide is going to accomplish less than nothing. It will only hasten a deadly cycle of violence that the US has the power and moral necessity to halt
Great to meet today with my Vietnamese counterpart General Phan Văn Giang in Jakarta — just two months after our leaders elevated the U.S.-Vietnam relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
How do I tell the 18yo that using me as a therapist and a crisis counselor isn't healthy for either of us? He has no consistently supportive adult voices in his life except ours.
But I'm conscious of the femme labor paradigm it's reinforcing that I'm the "parent" confidant.
I'm literally a fucking Marxist, a journalist with a commitment to truth, and overall, I try to be a good and kind person. I am telling you that what you think is "fascism" is literally propaganda spread by imperialist genocidaires to justify their genocide of us.
@neighborrunner
I genuinely think this is a case of parasitic opportunists hijacking other progressive causes for their own personal bugaboos and well-meaning people just kind of cluelessly but sincerely go along.

US AG for all of two years until LBJ's presidency ended, went on to make a career as an apologist and for mass murdering dictators like Milošević and Gaddafi.
Oh and literally represented Saddam as his legal counsel. He was quite open about it.

The fact that you think it's inherently a political signifier is really funny. The checkmark was never political, and paying for a political signifier that gives you very few benefits is beyond sad.
The bankers who financed Elon’s acquisition of Twitter are considering cutting their losses & repossessing the platform from him 😭

This is very stupid reasoning. "Congress needs to pass a law to clarify" is fedsoc calvinball. It's been clear to courts for almost 100 years, except for these losers.
"The Ukrainian-Russian border *is* our border. It's the border between depraved autocracy and freedom-loving people seeking our democratic way of life. Do we have a stake in that outcome? Undeniably YES."
Love my Representative 🥹
The border between Russia and Ukraine is the border between depravity and democracy. Between autocracy and freedom.
We undeniably have a stake in that outcome of that fight.
Today, we must stand shoulder to shoulder with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.
Q: Do you see standard IVF practices as murder?
Mike Johnson: It’s something that we've got to grapple with. It’s a brave new world. IVF’s only been invented in the early 1970s
A shameless admission from Republicans that this could have done all along but preferred to use Ukrainian blood as leverage for a political wedge issue they've never been able to competently address.

Henry George got us the secret ballot and was a titanic figure in the American labor movement. His ideas inspired land reform all over Asia and Europe. He is easily as historically relevant as Marx. Whether or not you've heard of him doesn't make him irrelevant.
