That's wild, I've never heard this side of the story!

Lol beat me to it

We actually did have unemployed (a lot of homeless as well) veterans revolt back in 1932 during the Great Depression, demanding early payment of their service bonus certificates.
About 43,000 of them camped with their families on the White House lawn for a while, and the president at the time, Herbert Hoover, sent tanks and bayonets in and they killed a few people and injured dozens. Patton led the charge and Eisenhower wrote the military report endorsing the action (though he claims he told Patton not to do it). It was called the "Bonus Army" if you want to do some more reading.

We had a bridge in my town get shut down last year to both vehicle AND pedestrian traffic because it's so structurally unsound. Aaaand it's been sitting there closed ever since. Double whammy: it had some of the best pedestrian and bike infrastructure in town.

I don't think anything will go as hard as Furr's 'Blood Lies: The Evidence that Every Accusation against Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union in Timothy Snyder's "Bloodlands" Is False'. Say whatever you want about Furr, but his titles crack me up

Legitimate truth nuke🤯

See Doyle? Yeah I see him, he's the one that keeps staring at me. Get outta here ya punk

Harris literally called him a fascist on the campaign trail
I expect nothing from Dems but it's been really demoralizing seeing just how much liberals online have been blaming anyone but the democratic party for this. I gotta get offline more

Here's a link. His friend is serving an 11 year prison sentence for trafficking a minor, and Gaetz almost certainly paid someone for sex using this guy's venmo account. "For some reason" the House dropped its ethics investigation into Gaetz after getting a ton of statements and documents.
Gaetz also has admitted to living with a young Cuban immigrant named Nestor since Nestor was 12 years old, who is supposedly the brother of one of Gaetz's exes, and considers him his "son", which is a little strange regardless, but is a lot more suspect given the above.

Some Targets in the US have a small selection of sex toys for sale. I know it's pissed some chuds off, which is fun

They practically claimed DeJoy was going to help Trump steal the 2020 election by destroying the USPS capacity to deliver mail-in ballots, and as SOON as the election was called it's been radio silence about him ever since. That struck me out of the blue one day in like 2022 and I felt insane

Sometimes, after a life-altering, traumatic, global pandemic, the masses just dislike their current leaders. It just, like, happens I guess.

I just poke around on google earth and street view when I can't sleep. Helpful for general geography knowledge and for reminding you how big and beautiful the world is

I've been on a "political imagination" kick lately. We gotta start trying new shit on smaller scales, to demonstrate to the people watching that we (collectively, individually, locally, and nationally) are competent and trustworthy and can accomplish things. Then we can build up from there

Yeah, I appreciate the occasional dunk, but I'm basically only going to use the news mega anymore. Big fat unforced L from the admins/mods

Bring out Young Dro at the DNC and they both do the shoulder lean

Even events with probability 0 still happen

That shit makes me feel insane, he's literally the boss of the secretary of education and they tried basically nothing and then gave up. And people still hand it to them! The lack of imagination liberals have is seriously depressing. These people live hollowed out, empty lives devoid of any legitimate hope or vigor, content with their allowance of imperial treats and the endless "aw shucks, well... next time for sure!" as everything decays around them.

I'm fascinated to see the PSL results in my state. There's a reasonably active chapter in my city, but I wonder how that will translate to votes

I’m sure you’ve seen it, but this always kills me.
