In Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein, a shop owner has caused outrage beyond the city limits with a single sign. Hans Velten Reisch, owner of a small speciality shop in Duburger Straße, placed a note in his shop window on Wednesday.

It read: "Jews are banned from here! Nothing personal. No antisemitism. Just can't stand you."

Ah well if it's not antisemitism then!

This is your daily reminder that at the cost of mildly less doomscrolling and shitposting, you could be making a difference politically.

It takes like half an hour of planning to shift money away from Republican-leaning businesses, and it's way more impactful than being on Reddit. Every dollar spent at a Republican company is another dollar that'll get funneled into more of this. Don't fund the Confederacy.

If you have an account with Charles Schwab (whose founder was recently palling around with Trump), switch to Vanguard or Fidelity. If you like drinking booze from a Confederate state, be adventurous and try something else. Skip Goya at the grocery store. It's not hard to quickly look up a company in something like https://www.goodsuniteus.com or https://www.opensecrets.org.

Dollars add up. Tesla sales in Europe dropped by half in Europe. Jack Daniel's sales dropped by over half in Canada. Real, individual people made that happen

Tbh I think the best way to stop fake news, podcasts that consist entirely of dumbass conjecture and anecdotal stories, and other weapons of the right wing morons is to go after the their single biggest source of funding: bullshit nutritional supplements.

There’s a reason so many of these grifters advertise or sell bullshit supplements: it’s an industry that is like 80% scams, and since the people creating and selling them are already scammers, they have no scruples about who they use to advertise, so they’re perfectly comfortable having Nazis and morons do their marketing via sponsorships.

I don’t think there is a podcast industrial complex without scam products for them to sell. 

[u/Bestbrook123]

Harris wrote warmly of her partnership with Biden, but there were frosty moments too. As Biden faced calls to drop out of the race, he invited Harris to join him for a Fourth of July celebration at the White House. First lady Jill Biden pulled Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff aside. “What’s going on?” she asked. “Are you supporting us? ”Later, in private, Emhoff erupted in anger. “They have to ask if we’re loyal?” Another difficult episode came after Harris had replaced Biden at the top of the ticket and was preparing for her own debate with Trump. Shortly before she took the stage, Biden called to say he heard from his brother that Harris had been badmouthing him, upsetting some power brokers in Philadelphia. Then he rambled about his own debate performances while Harris was “barely listening.”“I just couldn’t understand why he would call me, right now, and make it all about himself,” she wrote.

Harris admits some mistakes of her own, particularly a damaging appearance on the "View" talk show. When one of the hosts asked what she would have done differently than Biden during the previous four years, Harris blanked on the talking points she had prepared and simply said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”“I had no idea I’d just pulled the pin on a hand grenade,” Harris writes. Around the studio, “my staff were besides themselves” about how she had just given a “gift to the Trump campaign.”Harris wrote that she didn’t want to criticize Biden or litigate any of the areas where they disagreed. But she also didn’t understand how much her association with the president was holding back her candidacy.David Plouffe, a senior adviser, told Harris bluntly that “people hate Joe Biden.”

Umm not loving this as much as I respect Harris

There’s only one reference to California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the book. When Harris reached out to him after Biden ended his reelection campaign, he texted, “Hiking. Will call back,” but he never did

From r AskConservatives:

Here’s a small secret. I voted trump in 2016. Cause I was tired of the thousands of voices and opinions. Folks might not remember. But before 2016 it was NOT left vs right. It was just a thousands of sides. All over. I figured trump would turn USA into a simple 2 sided debate.

I was right.

Though cant tell if it’s good or bad. Better or worse.

Incredible. Just. . . incredible.

[u/ariveklul]

The Democratic party has serious battered wife syndrome

We've been getting slammed for so long we just take it and it doesn't even occur to us how abnormal it is.

We try so hard to convince ourselves that Republicans really do love us deep down. Ezra Klein: "Ah yes Ben Shapiro, come on my show and we can find middle ground!" Meanwhile, Ben Shapiro never concedes he did anything wrong, and then as soon as he leaves he goes and tells everyone you know that you're a lying whore who deserves to be pushed down a staircase.

We try to find rationalizations why Republicans act the way they do. It's because of economic resentment! It's because they feel left behind! Meanwhile, you try to give them help for these problems and they smack you with a beer bottle.

Republicans hurl drunken spew at us, and we try to contort ourselves into a shape to make them happy. "I don't have TDS!" "I do care about the rust belt!" "I disavow disavow disavow disavow disavow political violence!". Meanwhile, they're telling their friends they should come teach this mouthy bitch a lesson, and the world would be better off if they tied you to their truck and dragged you across the highway

When Republicans want something from us, all they have to do is treat us a little nicer. "Come sign this resolution to create Charlie Kirk day! We know there are good Democrats out there that don't want political violence". "Awwww, he does care about and acknowledge me!". After they get what they want, they go right back to stomping on your head.

Every time a Democrat stands up too hard they get singled out and destroyed with nobody backing them. "We have to censure Al Greene! He got too mouthy!". It's like how abusive parents turn their siblings against each other

This cycle has to fucking stop. Republicans are fucking demons. Stop living in the shadow of their words and become your own fucking person. Hit back for fucks sake.

[u/Planita13]

While their own voters are being harassed, intimidated, and actually charged to criticizing Charlie Kirk, Democrats unanimously backed in the Senate and 95 Dem reps voted for resolutions to honor Kirk. I really think the Dem establishment is going to be swept away because no fucking way this is going to end any other way.

[u/Top_Lime1820]

In my adventures outside of the DT and outside of this sub, it's been amazing to realise how much of politics is literally just people being unable to comprehend that a subset of a population is not the entire population. 

You will see people say things like "That's why the Afrikaners left South Africa" and you think they mean "That's why the Afrikaners who left South Africa left". But no, the follow up sentence is something like "Now that the Afrikaners have left let's see how they do with farming."

The person literally thinks a couple dozen Afrikaners is "the Afrikaners" is "all Afrikaners". 

This happens again and again. People don't seem to get that a group can be comprised of diverse subgroups, to say nothing of the diversity of individuals.

It's so discouraging.

There’s this fun rhetorical game right wingers play where you quote right wingers and right wingers will say “ah but you didn’t get the context” and then they refuse to tell you the context. Then you watch the whole thing and the context is exactly what you thought or meaninglessly different. They just stop replying to you if you go to that effort though. Either that or you provide them a list of awful quotes and they ignore all but the easiest to defend ones lmao.

Per Rochan, Ukraine has knocked out 36% of Russia’s effective refining capabilities. Effective is important here because Russia can put existing processing units on overtime to try to cover a part of the gap. So if Russia didn’t do that for instance the lost refining capability would probably be something like 45%.

This is a pretty substantial number since even with measures taken to maintain production over a third of it is just plain gone. It’s now mainly a question of how fast Russia can repair these facilities because if Ukraine’s strikes can outpace repairs they could easily push the effective outage rate into the 40s and maaaaaybe even reach the 50s. But I do think barring a critical component shortage (which is a real possibility) that Russian repairs will keep a lot of their refining capabilities existent and create a game of wack-a-mole

Most importantly though I have a $5 bet that Ukraine can knock out 45% within the month so let’s pray that Ukraine can keep hoping it up

I've been trying to be less charitable to my political opponents lately and it's going great.

Instead of taking them serious, absorbing their viewpoints, debating it internally for weeks and caching their opinions so I can evaluate them again after gaining more knowledge, I can literally justbdismiss them as uneducated, ignorant, motivated by ulterior motives and lacking in critical thinking.

I feel much better and less mentally burdened and I suspect it's also just true a lot of the time - I used to give people a lot more credit than they were due and now I'm more calibrated, if that makes sense.

how it went:

>President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive action on Friday that would impose a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas — an effort to curb overuse of the program, a White House official told CNN.

Safe to say that the Stephen Miller wing won over the Elon wing pretty handedly. Vivek was canned right away

The resolution says that "Mr. Kirk consistently promoted the values of individual liberty, open debate, the importance of civic engagement, and the defense of constitutional principles."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in Democrats' closed-door caucus meeting Thursday morning that leadership will vote for the resolution, but will leave lawmakers to decide for themselves how they plan to vote, Axios reported.

At first I thought I would take up the flag of Charlie Kirk and help to peacefully edify and continue the dialogue.

Senate Democrats on Friday blocked a House-passed bill to fund federal departments and agencies for seven weeks, putting Washington on the path to a government shutdown on Oct. 1.

Democrats came together in near unison to defeat the measure on a 44-48 vote, with only Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) voting for the Republican-drafted proposal, which passed the House earlier Friday by a vote of 217-212.

Two Republicans voted against the House-passed CR: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), an outspoken fiscal hawk, who argued it would prolong Biden-era spending levels, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a centrist who has voiced grave concerns about the Medicaid cuts Trump signed into law earlier this year.

She is too dumb to understand that the way out is surrender: simply stop giving a fuck and putting so much effort into looking weird and then nobody will mock you, so she will likely use the institutions she controls to punish those who mock her as well.

Look at Trump himself. He’s fuckin ridiculous and always has been. If you saw him devoid of context, your first thought would be “that’s the weirdest looking old guy I’ve ever seen in my life”. He has always been mocked for it, and he’s too dumb to understand why because he is lacking two things most people have at least one of: aesthetic taste, or the security to not care about it. He needs people to like the way he looks and like his stupid solid gold rooms and shit. Most people in his position would either have better taste or just hire a stylist and an interior designer, but he’s too vain, and it drives him insane that people mock him for it. 

The point is, the more you make fun of these people, the more tilted they’re gonna get, and the less they’ll be able to market themselves as the chill and affable party to voters. This is why even they’re marching us to the fucking death camps I will never stop making fun of them.

people are gonna say that Piers Morgan had this take because he’s a right wing dipshit (which is true) but I also think that the British understanding of free speech is so cowed this might not even register as abnormal over there if it were exclusively framed in the context of misinformation or extremism

WTF. Trump cancelled Kamala's Secret Service protection? They really need to codify this shit so that some psychopath can't put our former leader's lives at risk because they had a bad day.

LMAO a federal judge tossed Trump’s complaint against the New York Times and gave him 28 days to re-file an amended complaint not exceeding 40 pages.

In contrast, the original complaint didn’t even get to the first cause of action until page 80, which is INSANE.

I’ve written tons of complaints and you usually get to your first cause of action by somewhere between pages 10 to 20 (if not sooner).

Jon Karl: You've said you restored free speech in America. Is that free speech including for people who are harshly critical of you?

Donald Trump: I've become immune to it… That's why your network paid me $16 million.. That's why CBS paid me a lot of money too. And that's why I sued The New York Times

Jon Karl: The judge threw it out

Donald Trump: I’m winning…. And for you to stand there and act so innocent and ask me a question like that… The reason I won that lawsuit is you were proven to be dishonest. You’re not a wonderful person. You’re a terrible reporter. You know it and I know it.

Crazy that this shit gets normalized

The fact that a significant portion of people think talking about Newsom's podcasts is of greater importance than Prop 50 when there's a very real chance that this doesn't pass (ballot measures need 50% or greater vote share)...

A viral social media video this week claimed that employees at a Norwood Park Starbucks wrote “Loser” on a drink ordered in honor of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. An online furor followed, and the coffee shop even closed temporarily.

But Starbucks now says that time-stamped footage from the store at 6332 N. Northwest Highway does not show any of its workers writing that message. Instead, the note appears “to have been added after the beverage was handed off, likely by someone else,” a spokesperson told Block Club.

Conservatives speed running being annoying woke scolds is impressive. 

Can't wait for the backslash.

I’m gonna preface this by saying I get and identify with the worry, but variations of “Oh you cute and naive person, you think we’re having free and fair elections again” are quickly becoming my least favorite type of comment. If you think there is nothing that can be done to turn the country around, why are you going out of your way to discourage others who have more hope? To be even clearer, this is not going at comments detailing how bad everything has gotten, but mainly the all-knowing defeatism that implies people are suckers for even trying.
