This coming from the same party who keeps arguing that every cop that murders an innocent person or abuses their wife is just a bad apple and not a sign of a systemic problem?
Yes I know that both do it, but the Rs are far more ready and do it more often.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Hahahhahahahahahaha tell me you know nothing of the gay rights movement while using a LOT more characters.
Pride was a riot. Harvey Milk was assassinated.
In history, no group has been simply granted a rights win, it had to be taken.

The gay rights message was: "Look, we're just regular people who want to love who we love. What's so wrong with that?"
The trans rights message is: "Support us or go fuck yourself you bigoted asshole."
Guess which one is more persuasive.

They apparently took all of the wrong lessons from the wildly successful gay rights movement, choosing to be as alienating as possible. I won't be surprised if it ends up like abortion and 20 years from now public opinion is effectively frozen on the issue somewhere around 50/50.

I'm of the opinion that every publicly accessible restroom, regardless of assigned gender access, should have the following addition amenities:
A sharps container
Condom dispenser
Menstrual Products Dispenser
Sanitary disposal container for menstrual products

No that's not why. I was still affected by the ongoing exchange and sharepoint online incidents as well as other m365/entra issues.

You know, her father was a self-employed small business owner at the time. They likely were not able to access the kinds of care needed to handle—checks notes—Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1975-76. And as for her mother, I can almost guarantee lost access to health care played a part in her passing.
these people booing sound like literal sheep as Darline Graham criticizes Dr. Annie Andrews for supporting "government-run healthcare" before bragging of her parents that "if they were sick, they had to get up and go to work...my mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later"

Hey Twitch? Maybe, just a thought here, if you want streamers to come to your hellscape of a convention at which streamers routinely get assaulted, injured and stalked, make it so they don't need a payment plan for the privilege.

Hey map nerds. Please choose better colors.
In this map the primary issue is "Lean D" is far too close to "no election"—the background color—for people who are colorblind to be able to easily digest the information. I would suggest texturing the no election states with hash marks or something.

I want President Biden to live long enough to show one last once of class and issue a statement of condolences to the family when Trump dies. Just one last statement to remind the US how a statesperson should act.

Before the tariffs, I could get a burrito for less than 10 bucks from my local Spanish food shop and grocery store.
After the Cyclosploria outbreak, I can't even get a burrito for less than 15, and I'm rolling the dice on whether or not it's going to stay in my stomach or fly out the other end.

i find that burritos are cheaper in mexican communities, particularly ones with large immigrant populations. if you lower tariffs on the inputs — such as rice, tomatoes, and avocado — and allow mexican immigrants to own and run their own businesses here, seems like you can get pretty cheap burritos
for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

My taxes pay for a social security system it is rapidly looking like I will never be able to draw on. My taxes pay for M1 Abrams I will never be able to drive. They pay the salaries of congressional representatives that don't even give me the time of day.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

No matter how good Zohran Mamdani makes grocery affordability sound, he's selling New Yorkers the same broken promise that has failed everywhere else.

It'll also be a very good thing to remind the Democratic Party why it is so often said that the southern black vote is the base of the party.
Governor's mansions and state senate seats across the south are also up for grabs if this momentum continues.

They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. Instead, new data suggests they helped drive higher Black voter turnout across parts of the South.

Tell me you understand nothing about data centers and the IT industry without telling me that.
Data centers create maybe 10 local jobs. Construction is a travelling contract crew, most systems management is remote, the HVAC and technical stuff is also traveling contractors. Help desk is offshore
