Citizen K | Long Live The King 👑

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

It's a real problem that so many people anywhere left of center in this country think that the path to victory for them lies in electing Republicans until Democrats do exactly what they tell them to.

A thing I need more people to internalize is that if you are not someone who has spent a lot of time working on/around federal criminal prosecutions in some manner, your “belief” about how long that should take is worthless to everyone, including you!

That plus Eileen Canon's repeated fuckery are more responsible for Trump staying out of prison than anything Garland did.

We don't talk enough about how the Roberts Court slow-walked multiple executive privilege cases that were crucial to building the J6 case against Trump.

It was the near certainty of Trump's conviction that forced the SC to invent presidential immunity and Smith couldn't stand up a case so strong in ~8 months if Garland had been sitting on his hands.

Wild how I can post something about missing Obama and there are STILL people in the replies telling me bad things Obama did. Was he perfect? No. Was he a billion times better than Trump? Yes. Stop comparing apples to incoherent fascist oranges.

Yep, Democrats totally want to kill trans people, that's why congressional Dems have worked overtime to strip anti-trans riders and amendments from budget bills and blue states have codified stronger protections on access to care and shielding from GOP states. This is why Seth Moulton beat Ed Markey

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

You mean to tell me that the people who hate trans women the most do so because they just hate women in general?

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

The quotes and replies here really do suggest that folks just memory hole the intermediate steps of things in favor of big splashy "events" as if those things truly happen in total vacuums rather than build up from works done over years

It is, fundamentally, an exercise of choosing the lesser evil, over and over and over again, so that the total amount of evil in the system decreases over time. And you must keep doing it, because - since evil is easy - good is easily reversed.

It turns out that choosing the lesser of two evils is, in fact, a moral imperative. And some folks want to wait for the Revolutionary Perfect, but I would equally challenge them to demonstrate a single time where a 'start from nothing, year-0' revolution has turned out well for most people.

Actually, positive change is slow, difficult and incremental by nature. Destroying is fast, building is slow. It is easy to bring misery to people - any idiot can do it, as Trump shows - but very hard to improve their conditions. Building a better society is slow, careful, patient work.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins fourth term, according to electoral court.

Hell yeah, good news for Joe, and congrats for telling cancer to fuck off!

turns out that voting is a very good way to kick right wing authoritarians out of power

if voting didn't work fascists wouldn't fight so hard to stop it

The Senate version didn’t get a single Dem vote www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Less than 1% of the Dem House caucus voted for this one, *which was passing anyway and was going to die in the Senate*, the Democratic Party is remarkably, consistently good on this specific issue www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Her point is to lie about where the problem is here What Dem legislature has passed a sports ban? Or even let one get brought to a vote?

hell Mills tried to turn her moment fighting Trump "see you in court" into a thing and outside of Maine it was like "ew cringe grandma!" rather than being the rallying cry it clearly was.

also worth saying Democrats who did go out on limbs for trans rights, people who passed major moves for trans rights (Hillary) who advanced trans people (Biden) or fought transphobia in court and in public (Janet Mills) got no credit, no support.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

"I'll send an SOS to the world..."

this is the one that really jokerfied me The NYT insinuated from the WH visitor logs Biden was secretly seeing a Parkinson’s specialist, when public records showed Biden was in New York the whole day and that the doctor was at the WH visiting someone else bsky.app/profile/nyti...

THESE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING MORONS. I LITERALLY LAID OUT that Merrick Garland pursued just this corruption by July 2021. You dumbasses are all ignorant of that fact bc you don't actually CARE what reality is. You have your insane conspiracy theories you refuse to let reality disturb.

We made a pill that will prevent you from getting aids. Cell phones are pretty cool. Were like a decade from fossil fuels being the least capitalistic viable energy source. *We made a pill that will prevent you from getting aids.*

lots and lots of people making the imo bad assumption that if a D candidate in a red state says something publicly that isn't maximally pro-trans, the group they're deceiving about their future intentions is trans people rather than moderate voters

How it feels to explain to y'all who Ilja Dragunov is #AEWDynamite #Wrestlesky

I love how everyone is saying "Ilja vs [insert wrestler here]". Makes me happy to see a talent shine where he needed. And Ilja definitely fits AEW's sicko regime. Tonight was therapeutic. Stories told, my favorite faction that got me back into wrestling is back... I love my (future) job. 🤼🏽

Buttadeus is absolutely right here too! MLK's non-violence wasn't about attaining change without violence happening, it was about using the juxtaposition of their non-violence with the violence of the state to win over hearts & minds.
