clinton's plan to beat trump was to elevate him above the rest of the republican field and then coast to an easy victory. i don't think she was right about that

It can’t be said enough how right Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were. About everything.

When trans people were desperately trying to tell us that the fascism & violence that is forced on them is indicative of the fascism & violence that will be forced on all of us, media figures & liberal politicians were bending to the will of fascists & fucking bickering about "fairness in sports".

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Establishment democrats and their supporters hate progressives because we told them they were going to lose with the tactics they were pushing, and we were right. Now they just want to shoot the messengers.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

if you want democrat electeds to take republican threats against their lives seriously, you have to trick them into thinking said republicans are wearing keffiyehs. then they'll have the national guard on speed dial

The reality is that they want an even more conservative Democratic party and this is a way to argue for that without actually saying it

Liberals love to say "you have to vote for democrats because they're the only thing standing between us and the fascist republicans" and then get real mad whenever somebody asks one to stand between us and the fascist republicans

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.

someone threw a little tantrum about this in my mentions earlier and im still kind of annoyed at how entitled people are to demand i stop sincerely expressing my feelings about a political party that is explicitly collaborating with fascists because i will suppress voter turnout by not shutting up

if democrats think trans people's lives are worth sacrificing then i don't think they get to whine about losing their votes too

Reagan was an evil sack of shit, and this is why you should never vote for Gavin Newsom for anything Gavin Newsom will try to evangelize a man who was responsible for the the deaths of a huge proportion of all gay men in America just to try to cater to a few nonexistent “moderate republica”

Heritage Foundation, backers of Project 2025, have issued a call to criminalize porn by detailing specific types of imagery that should be illegal, including "deviate sexual intercourse," "female genitals," and "nudity." Only "civilizing" images that point to "marital sex" should be allowed.

They're gonna kill online privacy. They'll strangle VPN's. They'll make sure you have to say "kermit sewer sliding" and "seggs" in informational videos while promoting gorey Apple TV slots with half naked women in the trailers. Every OS will be more locked down, less a computer, more spyware.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.
