Posted a few other of these on Twitter because of that “what’s the lore behind you header?” prompt, so it’s only fair to upload them here, too:

How dare they. How dare they expect us to allow these brutal men in our streets. Primary every dem. I'm fucking furious.

This is why the democrats will continue to lose. So Swalwell is saying sure, you can have your jackboot on my neck, but please just take off your mask while you're doing it. We need Dem officials that will go as far to the left as Repubs have gone to the right!

eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

yeah but gullible, malicious liberals such as yourself will still say anyone left of mussolini is a russian troll even when they are an established account with a decade of posting about living in indiana or manchester or w/e. block me like the incorrect, intellectual child you are if you agree!

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

The historical present can be understood as a riffling of ideas too creative to appear in fiction with ideas too stupid to appear in fiction

Nearly 30,000 people were slaughtered by the UAE funded RSG in three days, in El Fasher, Sudan.

To the extent it is not clear, Zohran Mamdani's "Not On Our Dime Act" would make it incredibly clear, especially for NY tax law.

Apropos nothing else, it seems that Nefesh B'Nefesh does in fact enjoy tax exempt status in the US. Actually existing US tax law would seem to imply that their assisting American Jews in moving to the occupied Palestinian territory is a pretty clear cut and dry case of not being a charity.

This is the way.

I know everyone loves it despite being owned by an evil megalomaniac but if instagram disappeared overnight, it would only be a net positive for the world.

In a previous iteration of my career, I sometimes worked with kids who had been lured by adults on the internet. Without fail, it started on a Meta product. Reading these allegations makes me want to spit fire, because I’ve seen the end result and it can take a lifetime to heal from.

They’ve built one of the most horrifyingly precise targeted ads platforms in the world. You think they can’t figure out how to flag for a child safety team to check out when some middle-aged man messages dozens of kids? They can and often do, but that’s bad for “business” apparently.

Before people suggest I’m talking KOSA or age verification, etc, Facebook and Instagram already know so much about every user that they’re a go-to source for intelligence agencies. The algo already knows when an adult is messaging teenagers the platform is already monitoring for targeted ads.

The “growth concerns” part stands out like a neon sign while Zuckerberg makes more in an hour than most NIH grants tackling child predation are awarded in a year. He’s estimated to take in $9.6 million an hour. With a day’s earnings Meta could fund pretty much anything. They just dont want to.

There are very few child safety problems we couldn’t address virtually overnight if corporations were liable for the damage their products do.

i mean honestly. this is why these guys so desperately need a Ballroom. it might actually be cheaper in the long run to let them have their fabulous dress up events every night near the offices. instead of flying all over the place being fancy

I really hate how American Christianity has basically just turned into white nationalism. That's not what Christian is supposed to be about. It's supposed to be about going to church so you can gossip about your neighbors, and being weird about sex.

“Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.” www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

I’ll trust Gwyneth Paltrow’s jade egg you’re supposed to stick in your vagina before I trust this

noem is really in a class to herself, in terms of the small ball graft. just spending every waking moment doing cosplay photoshoots with tax dollars, but also using the shoots as a way of funneling money to herself and her friends. incredible stuff

this administration really does shine an unflattering light on the influencer class, by and large a group of people with no discernable expertise or skills. get famous railing against FBI guys using jets, become FBI director and use the jet for an absolutely stunning amount of influencer fucking off

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

If it makes ya feel any better .. we’ll be tracking it at @unbreaking.org unbreaking.org/issues/food-...

This is an extremely tough subject to even talk about, but Caelan managed to do it with enough snark and humour to relieve the anger and distress it brings up in me, at least somewhat, without undercutting what a truly harmful, violent, and life-destroying practice conversion therapy is.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

As a general rule, most people decrying "government intervention" regard state activity they approve of as merely ensuring the default, correct state of affairs and state activity they disapprove of as an artificial and unnatural infringement on it.

american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts

There is no greater violation of the community guidelines here than trying to help people.

Just occurred to me that the Mamdani/Trump thing is another opportunity to laugh at Cuomo, who debased himself to try to convince people that a NYC with a mayor Cuomo would have fewer problems blend with a Trump admin.

We’re going to look with a fresh pair of eyes at city government — and what powers we have to deliver for New Yorkers. And that’s one of many reasons I’m excited to have Lina as one of our transition’s Co-chairs.

The question has never been "are puberty blockers safe" because the answer is yes. It's never been "do puberty blockers block puberty in a predictable and reversible way" because the answer is, again, yes. We know these things. They just don't think trans kids should be allowed to do that

USAID's capacities took decades to build and Musk, through DOGE, gutted it all with the enthusiasim and foresight of a 14 year old given keys to a Lambourghini in a town where his dad's the sheriff internationalpolicy.org/publications...

This video was great, and also harrowing. Gotta say, it sure seems to me like american christians are just worse at being parents than normal people and that's why so many of their kids do crimes and have no impulse control.

I did Conversion Therapy for YouTube. youtu.be/g1lg8ixkN8w

Where does the "big tent" metaphor even come from? What's the appeal of being stuck in a tent with a bunch of people that hate you? Is this a revivalist thing?

the coda to this story is that i played Final Fantasy X when i was 12 and realized God was bullshit and convinced my parents to stop making me go to church before i could get confirmed

my entire conception of religion at the time and also sort of now is “a stern old lady who berates you if you even think about enjoying yourself”

i was raised catholic and could never believe it when i heard about youth pastors in other denominations who played video games or whatever. i could not conceive of a church experience that was anything other than torturously boring

J6er Jake Lang got punched yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan during his anti-Muslim march.

Please… don’t scroll away My little Alma is weak, starving, and fading before my eyes. Every night she cries for food I cannot give If there is still mercy in this world, let it reach us Your kindness could mean food Please if your heart still feels don’t ignore us 👇 www.gofundme.com/f/support-fa...

DOGE is only a failure if you took their mission in good faith. DOGE destroyed so many government funded projects, gutted agencies of key staff, and illegally obtained large data sets. Their goal was never efficiency, it was to destroy and steal and they were very successful at doing both.

It wasn’t a failure if you acknowledge that cutting government spending wasn’t the goal

much larger quantities can act as a retardant against setting but you cannot spoil a whole batch with that amount and telling people to take risks like this for a lie is wrong

this goes around every few years and it does not work

Hi, I’m from Gaza. We’re going through very hard times after everything we’ve lost. Any help — even a small donation — means a lot to us. If you can support or just share the link, it would make a real difference. 👉 gofund.me/0fa0750c Please donate if you can and share original . Thank you 💔🙏.

The democratic party is a big tent. Everybody that supports israel is allowed in whether they're a clown, a rabid animal, or a grifter. Its our circus and we have to vote for it no matter what.

sure it's funny and all but the revelation that obviously fake accounts aren't real and are based in (gasp) Foreign Nations does nothing besides give the Resist Libverse a thrill up their leg
