@professorgaysex @BeigeFrequency This is all Dana’s fault unironically. The incentive structure in the UFC is terrible because Dana is desperate to give Stevewilldoit 100K to jerk him off. Your only chance to make money in the ufc is popularity outside the ring by being controversial and getting a title shot

One of the reasons that both Neoliberals and fascists hate people like Mamdani is because he proves they are all liars who have effectively sold out their constituents to billionaire interests. All of the pain we have been told to endure has been a choice to sate the wealthy
Lazzyyyyyy@em_Lazzy

Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K+ potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows. THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!

@greatavanscott @LTGetsPolitical @hannahlindow Everything else like what? Your candidate got back into power and proceeded to do what? Centrist Dems are just ineffective leaders. Like most loser centrist Dems you’re crying about something 10 years ago that didn’t even really happen. 75% of sanders voters voted Hilary

Abdul El-Sayed has made his supposed medical credentials a centerpiece of his campaign, but the truth is he never held a medical license, never did his residency, never passed the boards, and never practiced medicine independently. If Michigan voters can't trust El-Sayed to be honest about something that is so central to his entire rationale for running, how can they trust him to be honest about what he'd do as a United States Senator?
Daniel Lippman@dlippman

NEW: Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for years has publicly said he’s a physician — but there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s had no experience as a licensed medical doctor. (W/ @adamwren) politico.com/news/2026/05/1…

@greatavanscott @LTGetsPolitical @hannahlindow SCOTUS got fucked because that loser RGB wouldn’t retire at like 90 years old and let Obama fill the spot. Bernie endorsed Hilary so not sure what you’re crying about. Centrist Dems are constantly trying to earn centrist/Republican votes for some reason. It’s the same principle

@thetesian @LTGetsPolitical @hannahlindow If only leftists would have listened in 2016, we wouldn't be in this mess (particularly SCOTUS). Instead they cried when Bernie lost by millions of votes about how unfair that was, and here we are.

@LTGetsPolitical @hannahlindow I’m terrified of him losing and Trump getting another 1-2 SCOTUS appointments in ‘27-‘28 because the Dems remain a senate minority because they fucked up in the MI primary. Why don’t leftists understand that most democrats want them to win and just are tired of leftists losing?

NEW: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a budget that closes a $12 billion inherited deficit with no property tax increase and no major service cuts, while adding a first-ever pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes worth over $5 million. The plan includes record investments in NYCHA, affordable housing, universal child care, libraries, parks, schools, hate crime prevention, tenant legal services, and new municipal grocery stores.

Jesus - Airbnb is a marketplace with willing participants on both sides. AOC you’re killing me! Come on!!! Airbnb hosts use that money to put food on their kids plates. The housing in Airbnb isn’t controlled by some “evil pubic corporation” - it’s controlled by normal citizens trying to pay their bills. I challenge you to name businesses of any significant scale that aren’t evil!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning. Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale. Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model. Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole. Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.

Jim Miller, who has the most fights and wins in UFC history, struggles to pay his medical bills after 18 years of fighting for the organization. While Dana White bails out people like the Nelk Boys and Adin Ross, who are already worth 8-9 figures. I’d hate to be a UFC fighter.
MMA Junkie@MMAJunkie

#UFC328's Jim Miller discusses the challenges of having no full health care through UFC as his son beat a rare form of cancer. "I've been paying health insurance for my family for a while now, and we pay a fortune." (via @MikeBohn)

@HOLLYW00DHOLMES @JamesLJeffers1 @ElvisSinosickk Why are you retarded ass conservatives always crying about peace and acceptance? Conservatives don’t show that grace to anyone and expect everyone else to act that way 😂. Takes 30 secs of looking at your profile to know a category 5 hitting your home would benefit society

@ElvisSinosickk @thetesian Ok, but how do we help them when they dont want to help themselves? They dont want to unionize, they dont want universal healthcare… Genuinely asking here — not trying to start a flame war. The only other solution is donating to their GoFundMe, but we can do better.

@Kkwkwkwl @ElvisSinosickk Dana White gets to be Dana White because 95% of the UFC roster are boot licking cucks who would suck him off for good boy points. The ideas they push and the candidates they support harm ALL of us. Fuck Dana, them, and every republicuck

@Anemoia4me @ElvisSinosickk You’re so retarded you couldn’t even respond to the right person 😂 By your logic Dana White is wishing harm and death on Jim Millers family by refusing to give them healthcare. I agree but I’d bet you don’t agree w that framing 🤔 I’m just happy Jim gets what he voted for
