I love how right-wingers are such losers that they think they’re being rebellious by doing childish shit like this but when it comes to challenging actual power (like the surveillance state) they’re like “yes sir! Please spy on me!” 🤡

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.

console wars ending with both sides committing suicide

The Trump administration has proposed removing requirements for public water utilities to test for microplastics in drinking water.

> raise console prices
> get rid of physical media

-> you are here <-

> raise game prices to $100 and beyond
> completely remove the ability to share any digital games
> buying new games will become an expensive hobby, but don't worry they'll definitely make a subscription tier for new games that come out
> hardware will become pricier, the cheapest way to play is using cloud gaming services
> offer a subscription that is reasonable at first
> gradually raise subscription prices

You will own nothing and be happy

If we don't act about Sony's outrageous decision to stop physical media in 2028, gaming might be doomed

Notice when you want an abortion the fetus is a person but when we talk about immigration, actual children are called offspring.

Words matter. They are saying the Nazi shit out loud. Listen to them.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticides diflufenican and epyrifenacil, both PFAS forever chemicals.

Neither pesticide has ever been used in the United States before.

Most Americans do not have the luxury of taking months off of work to heal from mental illness.

You know whats funny? If trans ppl were banned from sports this whole time. You still would have came in 5th place.

I'm always for being open about mental health, but important context is that Kean, as a state rep, voted against the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act, which established 40 hours of sick leave for employees a year.

Kean just took *4 months* of paid sick leave.

I bet this goes hard if you’re fucking stupid

The idea that this decision wasn’t 9-0 is actually very scary

[VoteHub @VoteHub]

The Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, preventing it from taking effect. The decision leaves in place the longstanding interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just struck down restrictions on political parties’ coordinated campaign spending, saying that they violate the First Amendment.

The 6-3 decision means political parties will be able to coordinate with candidates, and raise unlimited amounts of money.

[ettingermentum @ettingermentum]

7-0 Democratic-appointed body. The party just doesn’t want it bad enough.

The Trump administration has removed federal protections for the habitat of the endangered whooping crane.

Only 500 whooping cranes remain.

oh to be a 4 years old beekeeper distracted by a roly poly instead of a wage slave under late stage capitalism

[Praise @tufpraise]

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

The Supreme Court believes in a very specific form of religious freedom that only extends to followers of a certain faith.
