“I’ll fight until hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on”

“Re ‘There are a lot of people on your side who will be in the Epstein Files too!’: No there aren't, my side is the ‘People Who Don't Fuck Children’ side, anyone not on this side can get all the way into the bin, what side are YOU on, exactly?” — John Scalzi

The many monarchs of Europe, the slaver's Confederacy, the Kaiser, the Nazis, the Italian fascists, Imperial Japan and many more all assumed that because liberals value peace and human life, that they were weak and feckless and easily beaten. Go look for them now.

"You can't defeat bad ideas by adopting them. You can't grow a coalition by selling out its members. And you can't persuade people who disagree with you that you can be trusted to fight for them when you won't even fight for those you say are with you." www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the World: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: [...} A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Thank you, Chicago.

Mamdani: "But there is one thing that I will change: I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light."

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

It's kraken hockey time!

They want us to die. Some of them are literal Nazis. Some of them literally want to end the world. Some of them believe the second coming is due any day now. And some of them are creepy fucks who just want to kill without repercussions. That’s who we’re up against.

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

It’s so funny/bizarre that there are all these guys who are apparently furious about women liking video games? One of the best things that ever happened to me

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

the problem with doing WW2 revisionism on here is that everyone on this website is a thirty eight year old nerd who spent all of high school reading WW2 history books

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

"There is a separation of white people and colored people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it." - Albert Einstein, 1946

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

Libs really need to embrace the origin story

On the topic of “our” duty to persuade abusers, a tale: —— THE FINGER-TAKER’S SON Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.

Think about it. "Dems were too zealous in trying to prevent the spread of the virus" is, in US politics, a greater disadvantage, a bigger problem, than "Republican lies got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed for no reason." Just a pathetic fucking country. Pathetic.

These people are genocidal fascists. They should be opposed because they are wrong, and evil. If, for whatever reason, that is not enough for you, they should also be opposed because none of us are safe from them unless we all are.

The only way out of this is out of it together. Sacrifice one group, they will take that as a signal that they can pick us off group by group until there is no one less. We hang together, or we all hang separately.

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."

from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

An "Opposition Party" incapable of fully decimating a gang of Nazi pedophiles announcing it will end Social Security should disband immediately.

The thing we absolutely must drive home to the public is that the Trump administration's immigration policy is being run by committed white supremacists. This is not rhetoric or hyperbole; it is absolutely literally true, and they're increasingly not bothering to hide it.

Democrats run on this simple platform: The GOP is a party of pedophiles and people who protect pedophiles. They send the military to take over American cities. They use your taxpayer money to build concentration camps and employ kidnappers. These things are true.

Bagpipes drowning out Trump as he’s speaking. Can we make this a thing everywhere he goes

siri, please enhance on jd vance thank you siri

Happy birthday to Lyudmila Pavlichenko (born July 12, 1916), Soviet sniper in World War II, with 309 confirmed kills. A true role model for today.

had the big brain realization that you could just whip up a whole D&D cast/NPC list from Whose Line prompts alone

"I cast down my indifference, my willing ignorance, which is my overweening sin; I cast aside passivity. I will stand, in the quaking anxious terror that’s my birthright too, and the stubbornness that is its twin. We have stood blind long enough at noon." buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Reskeeted w/ alt text, because this is fucking wonderful and everyone should enjoy it.

so fucking good dude

218 GOP Representatives join 50 GOP Senators and JD Vance in voting to kill 50,000 or more people per year. As well as to try to finance mass kidnapping & internment. Hold every one of them accountable and do not accept any of this, United States.

Important to remember she's not just a moron on Twitter. She's a moron who the president treats as a top advisor. She makes a lot of staffing decisions for him.

None of this is hard. Hit these motherfuckers on kidnapping children, wearing masks and disappearing people, creating concentration camps ringed with alligators and cheering for macabre violence. That “resistance” party members cant and won’t do this is telling. Get people willing to call it out.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

If you ban Calvin and Hobbes you’re a straight up fascist son of a bitch and that’s that

Rümeysa Öztürk wrote an op-ed critical of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. She was arrested by ICE and was in detention for six weeks. This white nationalist student wrote a paper that argued the Constitution applies only to white people. He won an award.

Gen Z/Alpha: the 2000s were cool we should bring some of that back Millennials: ok, let us tell you about some of our fav- Z/Alpha: *blasting creed and trying on low waisted jncos* Millennials: no wait The Govt: oh hell yeah! *frantically starts fabricating evidence of WMDs in the Middle East*

as always solidarity with my trans brothers and sisters now and forever

The Union forever, hurrah! boys, hurrah! Down with the traitors, up with the stars; While we rally round the flag, boys, we rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
