They are responsible for so many shitty laws and actions that when they do something objectively good, there’s no escaping the feeling that there’s some ulterior motives ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He got out of the truck because the guy was flipping out at him, and chose to use racist insults to provoke him. A simple proverb that could have helped that racist fuck: don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash ✨
Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....
I still remember the GOP trying to dismantle the USPS while trump was in office. Even destroying perfectly good equipment! Guess they had a change of heart?!?
Jesus fucking christ. Now we’re all at risk of being convincingly replicated online and made to say anything the user wants?? Saw this shit coming from a mile away. Yes deepfakes have existed of course but now it’s easy as 1-2-3. Everything good eventually turns to shit i suppose, but man the Internet was the coolest most advanced discovery ever and now it’s being turned into the stuff of absolute nightmares. I shouldn’t be surprised i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Israel was founded with the Nakba, a series of atrocities that ethnically cleansed Palestinians from their homeland. Today we are witnessing Israel engage in ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza on an even larger, more violent scale....

That’s not all, folks! 🐷 This shit runs deep, this is merely the tip of the iceberg. I just can’t wrap my head around children being brought into these places, trained, and then let loose–and no adult along that chain thinks to themselves that maybe there’s a problem with that?!?!?!
From the article:
One 14-year-old was severely injured while cleaning the drumstick packing line belt at the plant in Virginia, the investigation alleged.
The agreement stipulates that Fayette will hire a third-party consultant to monitor the company’s compliance with child labor laws for at least three years, as well as to facilitate trainings. The company must also establish a hotline for individuals to report concerns about child labor abuses.
The Labor Department’s latest statistics indicate the number of children being employed illegally in the U.S. has increased 88% since 2019.
This is all very performative, slap-on-the-wrist level punishment, and i imagine there are hundreds more children out there still working in shit conditions because nobody will say or do anything about it until more injuries/deaths force them to.
Conservatives have always played “victims”, it doesn’t surprise me in the least to see them co-opt anti-semitism now. I think they’ve actually resented Jewish people for having been genuine victims, stealing away that precious attention they wanted for themselves. Now they pretend to have always been besties with the Jewish, and claim anti-semitism is something they stand against in solidarity with the government of Israel (even more shithead conservatives)
The next 1/6 insurrection in 2025 will consist of hundreds of diapered men smearing the walls with shit. That dude that smeared his shit on the wall at the inaugural insurrection of '20 is gonna think he started a ‘movement’
Yeah, things have actually gotten quite a bit better over the past 3 years. Much of that was due to the abysmal performance of his predecessor, so even a “just ok” job would have looked like a masterwork.
That said, Biden’s def hitting his stride lately 😄
