Conservatives love to pine away for picturesque "real America," and then without fail show pictures of some sleepy New England university town that's voted D+60 for 75 years

lolllllll I wish I did not relate to this

🎶 Rub it in, rub it in. 🎶

centrist politics was never actually alive, it was right wing policy in the nicey nicey shirt and well ironed jeans of the middle classes, it was a nod to the facade of caring as long as I'm alright Jack. centrism is the notion of giving to charity instead of eradicating poverty, it's a scam.

Geez, I get X? That stinks. Lion King Everything Everywhere All at Once Xanadu

What a beautiful way of putting it. Racism is a burden that poisons people’s lives. Sexism, xenophobia, all the -isms and -phobias of our time, I’d say are the same.

Better a shutdown than those riders banning trans healthcare pass.

there is no point in funding the government if the mad king is just going to unilaterally impound whatever congress appropriates that he doesn't like. there is no deal to be had.

Forced labor is slavery smdh 🤬

I don't respect any right wing views. If they had any decent views, they'd ... not be right wing. 🤷‍♀️

Just so we are all clear on what's happened - one branch of the checks and balances of our constitutional form of government just told another branch that they can tell the third branch to pound sand, and if you don't see how that's the end of our constitutional government, I can't help you.

my favorite thing about research in the private sector is that my boss is insane and only wants data that confirms his preexisting opinions and oh yeah this is also maybe relevant to the current moment

What concerns me is that I worry the DNC will march themselves and everyone else to the gallows in "the spirit of bipartisanship"

For lack of a better word or whatever

Unanimous Congressional approval of Charlie fucking Kirk day?! UNANIMOUS?! Anyone who has the gall to say “the vote was so tense” needs a reality check. Primary. Them. All.

If the answer isn't asset forfeiture and public executions, I ain't listening.

We're a bilingual family and specialists who told me this could never explain WHY an autistic person shouldn't be exposed to more than 1 language. Anyone, autistic or not, who has learned a second language can tell you that receptive language is related to, but not dependent on, expressive language.

Stop cowering in fear from your own subjectivity! Subjectivity is what makes you dangerous; repressing it for some mirage of infallibility or detachment is self-sabotage and will render you politically inert!

Anyone else think this tweet isn’t written enough in DJT’s unhinged cult leader style to actually be him? For one, he doesn’t usually end them with his name. He expects everyone to already know who he is.

Oooh, I don’t usually see the rest of the quote. Fantastic stuff.

Learning how to see the bad in people is important.

This is so lovely. And for those of us who struggle with C-PTSD, the “infinite storage” Sean describes is terrifying - but the “special bond with your past” is such a poignant narrative understanding of memory. That maybe we don’t have to live in our past and we can have this cherished bond with it.

Kids these days are just lazy (rubbed a strange adult’s back just to get a machine that cuts down a tree) Why can’t they be leaders and innovators like me (found a Big Nugget in the garbage)

To shreds, you say

When it happens, who will be the first Democrat to say something nice about him

New gender neutral restroom just dropped

the most important thing you can do tomorrow to defeat donald trump is tell a friend how much you hate gavin newsom

Just found an abnormal growth in my mindset. I'm sure it's benign.

I didn’t even know it was an app until a couple weeks ago when I was watching John Green’s Focus Friend trend in the App Store. Prepare the Best Person sash!

“Nonviolence is fine as long as it works.” Malcolm X

happy whatever fuckin day it is

Fucking assimilationists are going to get us all killed.

Tell me again about not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, motherfuckers 🤬

"How did the West fall, granma?" "Well, a bunch of incredibly fragile white people with more money than humans should be allowed to have decided to light it all on fire because somehow, somewhere, a minority was being treated like a human being. And pronouns. They fucking HATE pronouns."

"My experience so far has been that the Trans community sees and calls anything less than total and unwavering support is betrayal." That's because it is. Fuck you and Sarah McBride

This game lives rent-free in my head

If you are a person of your own, you are not of romantic interest to cishet men. Period. I used to think it was my fault being fat and outspoken (doesn’t “help”) but LOOK AT THIS YOUNG WOMAN. Checks all the boxes for beauty standards. “I want someone trustworthy who will be there for me.” Nope.

It's Butch Appreciation Day today apparently. Please appreciate the butches in your life, let them carry something heavy for you and walk you home before leaving out a saucer of beer.

“Capitalism is a system of self-destruction simply because it only understands doing, building and achieving. It is fundamentally incapable of undoing, fixing, stopping or reducing” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

worth saying that if republicans are increasingly reliant on low propensity voters then “we must make it as difficult as possible to vote” is not going to work well for them

People pleasing is over. Become unacceptable

Some people are shocked Dr. Phil went full MAGA. I’m not. If you ever watched his show, you saw it: the condescension, the faux common sense, the easy villains. He didn’t change at all.👇
