I love (sarcasm) that in the face of actual oblivion and authoritarian over-reach, there are STILL those giving more credence to pedantry, than the Rights devouring reality we arw living in. It is sad that "Devil's Advocate" and being right in minutiae, than support any actions to save our lives.

. . . and we will STILL have to argue to OUR OWN electeds that Racism is a huge problem. SMH.

We really need to get USians to grok that our education through HS, is basic learning. That introduces us to concepts, inspires curiosity to pursue new learning in fuller detail and enrichment? That education doesn't abruptly end with a HS diploma! School is how we learn, not the sum of knowledge.

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

I am so very, very tired of being oh so very, very angry.

Let's start with the people who have had their Civil Rights rights ignored, and arrested unduly and dissapeared into Concentration Camps. We have Concentration Camps FFS. USAID deaths in the millions. Brazen kidnapping and assassination of foreign leaders and civilians. Shedding 80 yr old alliances.

Tapping the sign

Today’s order concluding Illinois v. Trump confirms what's been clear to the people of our state from the beginning: Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to occupy our streets was a reckless and illegal abuse of power.

Like a Kidney Stone through my urethra, so passes my Days as a Fed Govt Employee!

EUREKA! Living in this place right now and trying to navigate the quad-hourly horrors created by unmitigated dumbasses of the US - its giving living fucking life in the US as a group project. Its the same trapped feeling of suffering from other people's incompetence, and we share a grade.

Once again, for clarity. Trump is a monster, but his power lies completely within the unflagging support of GOP controlled Congress and Senate, as well as the courts of Fed and Appeals, and even our US Supreme Court. Our utterly failed Justice system, our political sytem, our politics for purchase

Traded your soul for Shitler Orange. Now, you are outcast and adrift to tread the chum-frothing, shark-infested waters, that you stirred into existance, without that Presidential Pardon Parachute. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-frustrated-with-pam-bondi-and-considering-ousting-he

Since 2016 I have had several conversations noting that the rise of MAGA along w monied-elites' fear of Progressives (and taxes, accountability, actual change, etc.,) would merge the mainstream/Centrists Dems and Moderate Never-MAGA GOP into a rebranded "Light-Right" party feigning Center.

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Well, a late Winter surprise for those of us un the Emerald City. I am overjoyed, however, my joy cannot be heard over the savage cursing and wails of despair from everyone else in my office.

With the data exposure late last year, I was not going to enroll im this, and cancel my Pay status. Now, I am inclined to renove it altogether.

Jesus-Allah-Buddha! THIS is what i mean when I say, we cannoy give these cretins cover by only focusing on Trump. The abbetors and enablers need to be in focus as well.

ID the actual problem. The REPUBLICAN party decent into fascism, either by action or defense and support. Its not Trump alone. It is an orchestrated in-group plan executed by souless, cruel people. People who actively, and gleefully support the plan. Please stop giving cover to the ground troops.

This question is weirdly hard, bc the starting place itself is a result of anti-trans propganda shaping the debate. Trans surgeries, for all ages, are vastly rarer than hormone therapy only, which is itself rarer than social adjustments alone. Youth trans surgeries are *incredibly* rare.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

I am curious at all if this paper cuts across race because listen.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s case indicates that the attorney general may be “harassing (Jolt Initiative) and fishing for [racist] reasons to investigate its organization.” apnews.com/article/ken-...

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

This. . .this entire thread is absolutely bonkers. Please read til the absolute end (for catharsis). Comments not needed, just the main thread. Mon dieu.

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer and led a team that included multiple federal agencies. All this training didn't stop him from shooting Renee Nicole Good. His training *facilitated* the shooting. No amount of training will solve the problem that ICE is a violent ethnic cleansing squad.

IF we survive this Hellish next 10 months, and IF Dems win control of the House and Senate: I swear before All Things Holy, if they do not begin with instant impeachment and removal of SC Justices (other Fed judges as well) and a US equivalent Nuremberg Trials, we have to accept the US is over.

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

Well. I am so very glad /sarcasm/we have reached the destroy libraries and knowledge phase of our Nation's collapse into utter ruin. We are Winning SO BIGLY /despair/.

I do so love living in the Emerald City. Plans for tomorrow night. villagetheatre.org/mainstage/ch...

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

Landed safely in Atlanta. I have returned to the Origin of my hatching for a brief Holiday. Here to celebrate my mother's and mine birthday. Also, some time with other friends as well. Now, to survive Atlanta traffic leaving the airport.

WHEN we prosecute this as the Crime Against Humanity (Society) it is, the penalities should not just be prison; but complete asset forfeiture. Assets flow into public coffers. Not to family, business partners, shareholders, or even in trust. Payment for this stunning lack of empathy and cruelty.

Contact your reps directly. I keep seeing stuff about a petition and like, contact your reps directly. Sign that too if you want, but petition signatures are a lesser priority.

I would give a lot to have seen this.

I may rejoin the church and go for Holy Orders after all. I know I can dance in a full robe already.

So, can we PLEASE stop trying to convince ourselves that these people are just confused, or lost? That we need to extend them more grace, more benefit of the doubt? Can we just, for the sake of all our souls and sanity just call them out out for the Evil they are and are perpetrating?

Some brilliant and unwavering GOOD NEWS for those of us here in the Emerald City. I am so very glad I got to vote for Katie Wilson, and even happier she will be our new Mayor. Huzzah!

Local organization and community building, growth, and support, is the only way we are going to get through this authoritarian nightmare. It is going to be very hard. There is no simple or easy way out. The Top-Down salvation mode is not allowed. It doesn't meet the profitability threshold.

Let us talk of fear. To even think of fear is forbidden, and unmans us. So many fears. Not being seen as a man. Being laughed at by a woman. Not being seen as virile by other men. Not masculine enough, tall enough, strong enough. Pull women enough. Fear of fear. THEN, we turn all of that to anger.
