one of these things is not like the others, one of these things ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE

well yeah, they differ in their goals too. Biden wants peace, Bibi wants to exterminate Palestine.

what worries me about this is that my kids will be at a disadvantage because they are low-income students attending a high-income school district. which one counts towards "overcoming adversity"? I'm going to be pissed if providing my kids the best opportunities within my means ends up counting against them because I didn't let their intellect rot in an underfunded inner city school.

of COURSE alito and uncle Clarence wanted to hear the case, and we know exactly how they would have ruled too. those fucks won't be happy until we're living a handmaid's tale.

if we had a legitimate legislative and judicial system, the notion that "diversity is bad" would be immediately laughed out of the building. but the racists are running the place so we already have bans on diversity, equity & inclusion and we have to worry about the return of apartheid.

am I crazy or is that graph not showing what it claims to be showing? I would expect a policy that admits an equal percentage from every school would produce a racial composition that resembles every school. instead it still looks like their previous "undiverse" class makeup just with sightly different percentages.

more bad framing. these laws wouldn't ban social media from removing "controversial" posts, it would ban them from removing dangerous, violent, threatening and terroristic posts. just because those posts are only coming from one side of the political aisle doesn't mean they're protected by free speech, nor are private companies compelled to allow ANYTHING they dislike.

I still hate this framing. I have seen nothing from Biden but criticism of Israel's tactics and pleas for Bibi to agree to a cease-fire. I don't think Biden supports Israel's war so much as he knows exactly how far he can go in disapproving of it without being accused of antisemitism and supporting terrorists.

FUCKIN YES WE DO KNOW WHY. BIGOTS FORCED THEM INTO THE GIRLS' BATHROOM, BIGOTS BASHED THEIR HEAD INTO THE FLOOR, BIGOTS REFUSED TO CALL AN AMBULANCE AND A BIGOT TOLD THEM TO GO HOME AND SLEEP WITH A CONCUSSION.

THAT KID WAS MURDERED, IT WAS A HATE CRIME, AND SO IS THIS FEIGNED IGNORANCE FROM THE MEDIA.

I don't see how this is a joke. it's true, Trump and Biden are basically the same age. if I told you "one of these guys is 81 and the other is 78," you couldn't pick which is which nor could you describe what the difference is between the two.

oh what good news! prices "only" went up 3.1% last year! and how much did wages go up? oh, not at all? they actually went down? so business as usual then?

lol no. deregulation doesn't cause capitalists to "pass the savings on to consumers," it causes them to hoard the profits. again, capitalists will never lower actual prices - why would they? they've already got you paying this much, making you pay less only eats into their profit margins and executive compensation.

remember that the last time we had a "sudden labor shortage" (because Covid killed over a million Americans), we had the Great Resignation and wages jumped and companies responded by - say it with me - RAISING PRICES.

also Trump's just being racist as usual, there's no economic strategy to this.

pandemic relief packages kept people housed and businesses open. that boost to unemployment was the first time in over a decade that my family had a somewhat comfortable standard of living. that capitalists respond to people making ends meet with grabby hands like we're not allowed to not be poor is not my fault.

when have high interest rates ever LOWERED PRICES? slowed price increases, perhaps, but I don't think I have ever seen actual prices go DOWN in all my 40+ years on this earth, and certainly not because interest rates went up. if I've learned anything it's that capitalists expect people to just take on more debt to keep padding their profit margin.

the policies they're referring to here are high interest rates, and to that I say "do they, though?" because the Fed hiked rates which fucked over homebuyers even worse than they already were and prices didn't come down AT ALL. so maybe what voters hate is policies that punish consumers instead of the corporations that are greedily raising prices in the first place.

maybe by getting rid of a GOP-dominated legislature that consistently and severely disenfranchises voters?

why would anyone continue to consider this person a "family friend," much less entrust then with their child's safety?!

conservatives revealing what they really think of Christians and children's lives LMAO
