The people who are buying Rey's yellow lightsaber do realize it was literally put in the movie to sell the toy one right? She had no reason to flash it other than you going and spending $200 bucks on it.
A teacher in Texas is on administrative leave after telling students “deep down in my heart, I am ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one”
ppl who never heard of the minnesota freedom fund before this are gonna end up killing one of the most directly impactful orgs in the twin cities’ streets & jails because they think 2 weeks is too long to wait for a plan of how they’ll spend 300x what they usually spend in a year

, brushing back critics.
He’s hitting Dems for a double standard on Santos/Menendez.
putting aside how outlets are just reprinting corporate press releases:
a steak burrito at chipotle cost $7.30 last year. now after the hike it costs $7.50. in exchange for paying their more than 50,000 retail workers $15 an hour.
and some people want to complain about this?
It’s truly insane to see videos like this on my feed next to clips of entire city blocks being leveled and fathers carrying the bodies of their infant daughters in their hands. “Holy cripes” yeah
If Hamas stormed hospitals they would kill everyone indiscriminately. When the IDF stormed a hospital they went to a specific room to kill three particularly bad guys. Thank you for the opportunity to draw a comparison.
160 packages of food and medical equipment were airdropped into southern Gaza and the Jordanian field hospital in Khan Yunis. This was part of international cooperation between Israel, the USA, the UAE, Jordan, Egypt and France.
The move was carried out with the International…
So you agree: you think gerrymandering is bad when either party does it, that it’s a feature of congressional districting that can’t be removed, and the fairest solution is nonpartisan commissions, which republicans oppose.
Pat Tillman left the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the U.S. Army after 9/11. He turned down a $3.6M contract offer at 25 years old.
Tillman was killed in Afghanistan 17 years ago today.
RIP.
this is one of the funniest pieces of comedy ever created and it makes me so sad that all he does anymore is cry about pronouns. what a fuckin shame, man.
“A reminder that if we had fair elections, our side is so unpopular we would never win. So that’s why we need to prevent fair elections.”
I actually appreciate the honesty tbh.
Why are school rules good?
Because as society has laws, schools need order.
Otherwise bullying/harassment. Lord of the Rings.
Parents want lovely schools but you won’t get them without rules or intense selection.
And yes, your kid needs to follow the rules too 1/6 THREAD👇🏼

Teslas are literally the only product I have ever seen that can fail immediately out of the box or in ways that are completely unacceptable where not only do people not get upset, they actually defend it afterwards.

I'm not one to retweet war footage because I find it appalling & disgusting. This is a very rare exception & one of the few times I will & it's because the footage is just incredible. This is something straight out of Hollywood.

questions why other Arab countries surrounding Israel continue to refuse to take in Palestinian refugees:
"Why is it that this group of people are so unpalatable to the rest of the people in the region?"
Dumb guys love The Art of War cuz they’ve never read it and they think it’s all “know your enemy as you know yourself; the greatest victory requires no battle”
but if you actually read it, it’s 90% “You must have 8 oxen cart wheels and 10 jin of wheat per 50 li travelled”
this is a dumb person's idea of classics and philosophy -- which should also be separate categories (no shade to aristotle, marcus aurelius, or augustine of course)
“She can’t sit up and she can’t walk but what can she do? Guys if you don’t look at your sheets I’m gonna point at Pete again.”
“She sleeps through the night”
“So she goes to sleep early”
“She sleeps through the night, Rocco. Do I care when she goes down? Pete?”
“You do not.”
the onion's ability to brutally mock media people, not just in the content of their parody, but in their *perfect* recreation of tone, is truly wonderful.
Israeli: I’m a fascist
NYT: how un-PC
Israeli: I’m literally a fascist. I’m a nazi without the antisemitism
NYT: isn’t this an interesting person
Israeli: I have killed and I will kill again. I kill for the joy of killing.
NYT: this conflict is so ancient and intractable
NYT interview with a West Bank settler, she proudly admits that she is a fascist. I wonder if this mentality is pervasive among the illegal settler community.

💥Netanyahu: Shit happens.
"Unfortunately, a tragic instance of our forces unintentionally harming innocent people in the Gaza Strip. It happens in war.
We'll investigate it. We're in contact with the governments, and we will do everything so that it doesn't happen again."
A 2nd grader named Owen is one of the first public speakers talking against mask mandates. His dad is holding the mic for him

There’s a male loneliness epidemic and people like this are responsible for it. And it’s on purpose: the lonelier, more antisocial, more atomized young men are, the more money you can bilk them for by selling them hatred.
I think at least part of western society’s refusal to confront climate change seriously is that even among people who think it’s real, and happening, and existentially dangerous, there’s an unspoken belief that it will harm “poor countries” but that the 1st world will be safe.
she inherited the property, she owns multiple units, she didn’t apply for federal assistance because of the stipulation that she couldn’t raise rents for a year after, her tenants cover 100% of her mortgage, and the tenants she did evict, she turned their unit into a gym.
She’s a physician assistant who rents out a unit in her Queens home. The tenants haven’t paid in 15 months — and yell, spit and curse at her. She now has a second job just to cover their unpaid rent.
Her hellish story of being unable to evict them.
It’s funny she has to say “date” a woman because she knows it’s illegal for two women to marry in Israel. It’s also illegal for a Jew to marry a non-Jew, as it happens.
More Border Patrol Agents died in the line of duty during 2021 than in any other time since the agency’s inception. The line-of-duty deaths of 15 Border Patrol agents mark a grim milestone in the agency’s history.
They’ve got a phd in nuclear engineering from the most prestigious technical college in the world and you’ve been fired from every blog you’ve ever worked at lol. Seethe, buddy.
This person (identifies as genderqueer with they/them pronouns, his kinks are animal sexuality and 'gay uncle' BDSM) is now in charge of overseeing America's nuclear power plants. This is how empires end. Not with a bang, but with whatever the hell this is
I tell this story every chance I get.
I interviewed with Tulsi’s office for press sec in 2014. 40 mins in, her chief says “so you’ll be answering a lot of questions about the cult thing.”
I said “is she in a cult?”
I swear to god he says “eh. Depends how you define cult.”
It is truly a privilege to have been selected to serve the soldiers of the 440th Civil Affairs Battalion as their Commander. In these times of ever-escalating tensions and global uncertainty, our role as the warrior diplomats of the Army is more important than ever.
multiple members of congress have done fundraisers with this guy and meanwhile we've got congressional hearings because college students are chanting "free palestine"
Antisemitic white nationalist Christian fascist Nick Fuentes says that when his America First movement takes power, all non-Christians will be executed: "When we take power, they need to be given the death penalty ... They must be absolutely annihilated when we take power."
I just received this now…probably the most SHOCKING footage I’ve seen all day. Pro-Israel counterprotestors physically assaulting multiple anti-war MIT students ON CAMERA numerous times in this video.
It is clear that MIT is not protecting us, we are being targeted.
If you’re arguing that Jordan Neely’s murder was justified you’re also arguing it would’ve been totally fine to shoot that guy who threw all that Busch Light on the floor of that Walmart, just a thought
More children die in car accidents in a day than have been killed at sleepovers in 20 years combined but I don’t see you saying “don’t ever drive” idiot
obviously one of the biggest triumphs of the reagan -> clinton neoliberal economic culture is to make working people look at other working people making a simple living and say “that’s too much”
we do capital’s dirty work & we do it to each other
This is genuinely the worst form of transportation I can imagine. You can barely open your doors in there! I’m getting a stomach ache just looking at it

Two days ago israel killed 2% of the Christian population of Gaza in a single air strike when they bombed a church 400 people were sheltering in, but yeah for sure my man. Christmas protests.
The “Palestinians” in the United States and Western Europe are organizing “protests” to disrupt Christmas this year. Dear Christian friends, how do you feel about that? Do you go to Moslem countries to disrupt their Ramadan?
"Palestinian workers, stranded since the October 7 attacks... show bracelets on which are written the numbers assigned to them while they were detained by Israel." This should look all too familiar. Source: AFP

Democratic activists you better have something in your pocket other than sneering or handwringing over this because I have some really bad news about how people respond to those tactics and how important Michigan is.
