What newly elected Argentinian president Javier #Milei has promised to do is a combination of impossibility, and inhuman barbarity.

#PublicEducation - gone
#Healthcare - gone
Women's rights - gone
#LGBTQ rights - gone
Environmental protections - gone
Taxation on the wealthy - gone
#Labor rights - gone

Milei haș taken it so far as to say that #poor people should sell their body parts, children, and organs to wealthy people for rent and medical expenses.

Quote from article: And now House Speaker Mike Johnson wants to gut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid because “we’re drowning in debt.” What he fails to mention is that 100% of our nation’s $34 trillion debt was caused by Reagan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts along with the $10 billion in illegal wars Bush and Cheney lied us into.

From The Intellectualist at the hellsite, here's Senator Mike Braun [R-IN] saying he's open to SCOTUS changing settled law and depriving people of equal protection in** mixed racial marriages.**

Thus allowing states to reimplement old miscegenation laws, or banning so-called mixed ethnic marriages, requiring SCOTUS overturn *Loving v Virginia* in 1967.

These are confederate radicals.

This is great news, because AC will become necessary for survival in some heavily populated areas by 2030

Sweet potatoes are just regular potatoes that remember birthdays and anniversaries.

@Coffeechai I'm wondering if they know where the hostages are. They've refused to provide lists & refused to allow the ICRC visit the hostages. This is very disturbing.

Surprised the far right snowflakes aren’t offended by Black Friday and demanding all Fridays matter

It's that time of the year again: We're #lookingforwork! If you need someone to translate your game into Spanish (or Basque), give us a holler!

We have plenty of experience with LGBT-themed games, with a heavy emphasis on visual novels and narrative experiences, but we're ready to take on anything! (And we've won some translation awards 👀)

Hi all,
I'm Fuller (פולר) and I've decided to relocate here, to Babka.
I recently made Yerida, moving from Haifa to New York to be closer to family and to take a new job.
I'm excited to join you all here.

This understanding of the founding of the nation is critical. Recognizing that this nation is defined to separate rule of law from rule of any and all religions is necessary now more than ever. The christian nationalist movement exemplified by Mike Johnson is actually seditionist.

This article is an excellent historical overview of the founders’ views as they defined or nation’s constitution.

The European Commission has greenlit Hungary's €900 million advance from a frozen recovery fund, thereby bypassing Budapest's veto of aid to Ukraine, as reported by Reuters.

The agency notes that the EC had initially removed Hungary from the program due to corruption indications and the Orbán government's deviation from democratic principles. Subsequently, Hungary objected to providing 50 billion euros in economic aid to Ukraine.

The older and more informed I get, the more ambivalent I feel towards Thanksgiving. Shouldn’t it be called Colonial Exploitation Day, or something like that?

On the left, me in November of last year, about a week after realizing I was undeniably a transgender woman. On the right, me now, grateful to live every day what had once seemed an impossible dream. If you've ever wanted to instead be a girl, boy, anything between, or neither, you can. I promise it's not too late. :BlobhajTransPrideHeart:

thedailybeast.com/ex-trump-sta Jason Miller, one of Donald Trump’s longest-serving and closest political aides, is one again in the broiler.

The long and salacious saga of his extramarital affair with former Trump political aide A.J. Delgado took a sudden dark turn on Wednesday, when she sued her ex-boss in an explosive lawsuit that now describes his predatory relationship as rape. #JasonMillerRapist

I honestly believe comedians like Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic, John Leguizamo et al are doing a vastly better job of informing the public about important issues than our hopelessly compromised fourth estate.
