Since the Winter Olympics is underway, this is the perfect time to post Surya Bonaly doing her back flip on ice. Judges used to underscore her and I loved that she did the backflip in her last performance before retiring as a big FU to the establishment.

Of course Atlantic writers are defending Bari Weiss. Many (not all) at the magazine have the same stance as her: nominal centrists, rhetorically disdainful of Trump, but advancing a substantive politics that is profoundly reactionary.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I don’t want my tax dollars going to bailout farmers who overwhelmingly voted for the man who bankrupted them. They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop relying on the government assistance they are against.

This is deeply unfair to Tonya Harding, who actually wanted to win at any cost.

9-5 was not designed for *anyone* actually. It’s nothing to do with our hormonal cycles vs theirs and everything to do with ~capitalism~. Besides, prior to the 40 hr work week people worked 10-16 hours per day on avg. The 40 hour work week was the result of decades of activism.

when will the world realize 9–5 was never designed for women?? the 40-hour workweek was made for men in the industrial era. women have shorter circadian rhythms, hormonal cycles, stronger stress responses, and quicker cognitive fatigue. it completely misaligns with our biology

Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

How did we get into this mess? You ask. Well, too many of you had football coaches for social studies teachers.

The mass deportation of illegal immigrants is a racist purge of the Latino and Black communities. Notice no raids of the Russian community in Brighton Beach or the Irish community of Boston, where known undocumented immigrants regularly live. No European immigrant communities

I suspect that most of AOC’s colleagues knows she’s completely capable of leading the House Oversight Committee, which has become much more about communications lately than actual investigations. Many are jealous of her boldness to challenge while they’ve been waiting.

a truth people don't want to accept is that bernie has a cult of personality around him very similar to *redacted* in that people have developed a parasocial relationship to him and have made being one of his supporters fundamental to their personality

Bernie Sanders is 83 years old, there are other potential leaders that can be supported and bolstered in the coming years. please people, for the love of god, let him go.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine Chuck Schumer saying "For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia" forever.
