There's a direct link between spanking children and fascism that runs straight through trauma bonding. This is why so many people can't imagine questioning authority, even when authority is actively harming them. 1/9

This language may very well be antiseptic, but it is also hauntingly beautiful. The contrast between its laser sharp clarity and the crude horror for which it exists in the first place has a chiaroscuro quality that’s truly artful.

They just can’t help showing their whole asses can they

The real story is not that an impersonator indistinguishable from the president called into a talk show using a fake name. It’s that an impersonator indistinguishable from the president using a fake name is believable enough to be debatable. None of us know for sure, and that’s the real story.

Newsom has denied trans women their civil rights, inflicted gratuitous cruelty on the homeless, platformed Nazis and advocated their worldviews. He's absolutely unfit. Primaries are for serious candidates. Shunt the crud to the sidelines now. Never Newsom.

Please help me survive capitalism on a fixed disability income

I don’t know why everybody is fast forwarding and living the trauma of having to vote for Gavin Newsom, and then running around in a panic proclaiming that they refuse. 1/3

I need everyone who pours your energy into bullying content creators about AI to come to your senses and divert that energy to unionizing your workplace so we can leverage actual power in the actual world , end capitalism and seize the means of automation for the common good.

Then they came for the veterans….

Letting the Epstein files drag on like we let the insurrection prosecution drag on is foolish when we know he’s trying to consolidate a global center of power outside of the UN and international law. We have everything we need to convict and imprison him immediately. Do it now.

Dear corporate liberals: Blocking leftists on Bluesky won’t make this go away. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump is caught in what psychologists call a double bind - a trap where every possible move makes things worse. Israel wants him to invade Iran. Iran wants him to stand down. 1/7

I was just reading that opinion from the court today, it is so strangely comforting. 1/3

My bubble must be curated pretty well on Facebook because now that I'm more active on Bluesky I'm reminded how insufferable liberals are. 1/7

Justice Gorsuch educating Trump on democratic values is unexpected, but not unwelcome. #scotus #tariffs

I don't know why we keep calling things "a distraction from the Epstein files". That cat is all the way out of the bag, it's never going away.

If you want to fight with MAGA, go on X. If you want to fight with blue MAGA, go on Blueskey. Or you could just eat a bowl of thumbtacks and enjoy the rest of your day.

Won’t somebody think of the right wing Dems? What would happen if people found out they were liberals?

If we had taxed billionaires fairly, they couldn't have afforded their luxury lives of raping children on private islands. Something to think about during the primary. We must defeat the corporate democrats who enable the epstein class!!

Hey everyone, real talk right now. Have you ever felt a shift in your energy the moment someone crosses a line with you, and you feel strength rise up to make your boundaries clear? It's urgent that you find that shift within you now. 1/5

Trump says he will steal $10,000 million from taxpayers to give to his clown show "Board of Peace" www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02... That's very America First!

The pandemonium over the Bernie post is giving 'deadbeat dad who won't go to rehab and blames the kids' ... the inevitable outcome of letting right wing ideas take root in working class spaces.

What the DNC did by sticking it to Bernie thru the primaries was alienate the youth vote and progressives and they laid right down for the general election. THAT gave Trump all the edge he needed.

The quality of restaurant food has gone down so much that it’s actually yummier to eat at home, which is making it really easy to boycott shitty corporations. Since that’s basically all of them, instead of playing whack-a-mole, fuck ’em all!!

Yeah, it’s kind of weird that people are even debating this. The entire backlash I woke up to this morning stinks like denial and guilty conscience. These are understandable human responses and I sympathize, but they’re also unhelpful. At some point we have to be accountable to our future self.

When they try to tell you Nazis were socialists: "Why do we call ourselves Socialists? So that we can lure workers away from Marxism. We speak their language, but we strip it of its Marxist meaning." - Joseph Goebbels, Der Angriff, 1929

The fact that we choose to make public life inhospitable for everyone so we don't have to provide things like restrooms and sit-down areas at coffee shops to unhoused people is utterly wild to me 1/4

Donald Trump happened because corporate Democrats cheated to defeat Bernie. Do not listen to their tactical judgments, they're wrong. They're just straight up wrong.

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

A GWB appointed judge issued a blistering rebuke of the regime’s attempts to cover up the crimes of history, comparing them to Orwell’s Records Department from 1984. www.lawdork.com/p/a-preside...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Their cruelty as child rapists and their cruelty as abusive stewards of the public trust are two sides of the same coin.

kinda weird how little attention this goldmine is getting on here

This is only speculation but it seems logical that moderation algorithms have had to be relaxed around terms like "pedophilia" and "child rape" since there is legit public discourse around them, and almost certainly this is allowing harmful networks to grow. The rot is spreading.

This backsliding is directly due to corporate Democrats’ spinelessness. The far right has been consistently pumping out lies that are so easy to push back with even the slightest bit of effort. All they had to do was the bare minimum of making the counterpoint visible and they failed
