I would honestly vote for someone based solely on their plan to jail Elon Musk

democratic governors doing stuff like this is worse for voter turnout than anything the american left has said or done

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

the fact that christians were more upset about this ai generated trump pic but not when he said he was gonna wipe off an entire civilization shows how bankrupt white evangelicalism is

Just to be clear, Donald Trump does not care if a bunch of journalists wear pocket squares with the First Amendment written on them as a “protest.” First of all, the man is functionally illiterate

None of these people should be able to work in our industry again

One of the most infuriating things online is people censoring words like “k*ll,” “grape,” etc. “I want to talk about serious topics but worry my posts won’t be commodified as easily” have some self-respect, treat it with the weight it deserves or find a different place to talk about it if you can’t.

All the reactionary centrists attacking Mamdami every day will deny -- to us, even to themselves I think -- that they play a key role in enabling this kind of shit. But that is literally their function in the current US political structure.

not to mention this goes beyond Israel/Palestine. if you've spent any amount of time in your life opposing western violence directed at muslim populations, you've been called a terrorist or terrorist enabler.

it is fun to read profiles of this guy which play him up as some diabolical mastermind and then watch him in action and see a huge loser

there are a lot of different paths to the "good" ending (none of the endings are truly good at this point) but anyone who isn't actively working towards it should be viewed as a fascist collaborator. sorry if that seems harsh but these are harsh times.

roberts et al have divined the Actual Intent of the constitution, which is to allow the government to exercise nearly unaccountable power to strip people of their rights. it is why we fought the revolution!

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

He is a legal permanent resident with a green card, and his wife is 8 months pregnant. He has been harassed by law enforcement and the university for months. It’s a disgusting racist targeting and it’s meant to scare you into silence.

"the only things dems need to cave on are race, gender, policing, and immigration" what kind of victory would this be

sorry, pronouns in bio triggered us so hard we had to become a fascist dictatorship over it

I am aware that Hawk Tuah has released a new podcast episode. please refrain from bringing it up to me. I lost my daughter's college tuition on $HAWK coin and it's very painful for me

It takes a deep aversion to reality to wander into a room where people of color and women and transgender and queer folks are literally being erased from our history and civic life and assert that this is all happening because no one listened to you in 2015 when you said be nicer to future Nazis.

“if everyone would shut up about their own struggles and pretend that the blue collar white man is the universal subject, we could win” always reliably leads to an alliance with outright bigots and charlatans.

I read this essay, which is about how men want the chance to serve their communities and be rewarded for it. The world is not lacking in opportunities to serve. What’s missing is people who want to put in the work and make stuff happen.

In the US city of Cincinnati in Ohio, armed Nazis decided to hang flags over an overpass, they were promptly removed by locals who chased them away and burned the Nazi flags. The police tried to protect the Nazis.

One of the things that’s happening here is that the political media lied so long about Musk and Trump and Vance - normalized their racism and authoritarianism - that it has no way of even describing what’s happening now, since it requires background knowledge that was intentionally omitted for years

Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.

god I hate it but I'm being polarized into being a Virtue Ethics guy. you should simply not do this. not just because it is evil, but because it's just completely fucking tasteless. it is unbecoming to your station as a public figure to crack quips about ethnic cleansing. grow up.

i would love to know how a systematic attempt to delegitimize the abilities of nonwhites, women and queer people contributes to solidarity

for sociopaths and narcissists, politics is when you pretend to care about other people. rejecting politics is when you embrace your hateful, reactionary human nature.

He’s never been fed.

A nation state’s geography “shifting” and “shaping” like it’s a beautiful sandcastle on the beach and not an occupying colony slaughtering and ethnically cleansing and STEALING

Why would it lead to those discussions. We had the discussions for decades and then the entire enterprise was abandoned as berniebro. Like I and many others have mentioned, it seems pretty clear now that there was a big political interest in the latest election that was completely ignored

whether you think it’s fascism or “competitive authoritarianism” or whatever, this era will be characterized by Trump using state power to lean on his private sector enemies, and most of them will capitulate.

🧵 Mufid Abdulqader, one of the “Holy Land 5” who were imprisoned for the last 16 years for running a charity for Palestinian children, has been released from federal prison this morning in Seagoville, Texas.

jesse singal is demanding to speak to the manager of blue sky asap to be personally reassured about the use of his valuable time. jesus christ imagine being this deluded about your own importance

The Times has led the crusade to delegitimize gender-affirming care and now has the gall to publish post-election pieces saying “now that public opinion has shifted, it’s time for Democrats to disavow trans people.” Who shifted it motherfucker?! bsky.app/profile/ryan...
