what if trans people were worth as much as a talk show host, collectively if not individually, as a treat

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

It is my misfortune to announce that Disney adults are now officially better than Harry Potter adults

Have been going to mainline churches for a decade now and still embarrass myself during common hymns… my ex-Pentecostal self is incapable of singing “Peace Like a River” at a slow and soft tempo???

"By any means necessary" - Malcolm X.

Reporter: “Charlie Kirk said there is no such thing as hate speech.” Trump: “he might not be saying that now” okay this is pretty funny

Remember that "Anne Frank had white privilege" tweet from a couple of years back? Well a guy decided to satirize that sentiment and Hamilton and wrote a rap musical where he made Anne Frank a "pansexual Latina". It's called Slam Frank and tickets are going for $60-$120 Off Broadway.

i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.

it‘s not just that liberal and centrist NYC elitist pundits keep writing “move to the right” narratives, but they are just so bad at it. They don’t know conservatives at all. This isn’t won’r t work. It’s not 2000. Republicans already overturned Roe v. Wade. They already won their gotcha

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is the exact premise that Republicans do not agree about. Their proposition is mass immiseration, mass expulsion and mass murder. The only way to oppose political violence and avoid further political violence is to contend directly with that fact.

I got a “who’s Ezra Klein” today which means even offline normies are starting to hear about how annoying he is

Average American Friday night: - more purges of national media - more purges of immigrants in the cities - high skill immigrants must now pay annual bribe of $100,000 less they never reenter/be detained at the border - illegal murder campaign in foreign waters enters its third episode

My husband and I deconstructed together to progressive Christianity, and then I solely dated non-Christians in non-monogamy... now two of our partners have converted back and joined our church lmao. Doing better evangelicalism now that I'm polyamorous than when I was actually evangelical

Because 75% of other self-identified Christians wouldn't want to be friends with me and actively work to create a society that would harm me! Give me a chill atheist any day of the week.

I have been trying to radicalize progressive Christians, but it feels more important now. Do you see how Democrats are failing us, too? Do you see how we are being censored? Do you see how complaining about the right hasn't stopped them? Do you see how tech and capitalism failed to help?

If you have an extra $10 a month to spare, here's a list of worker-owned cooperative news sites you might want to support: • 404 Media • Defector • The Flytrap • Flaming Hydra • The Appeal • Aftermath • Racket • Hell Gate • The 51st • The Colorado Sun • Range Media • Discourse Blog • Pop Heist

they will not rise up and defeat EA like this!

Ty and I went to early vote in Virginia, and I asked him if I should wear “real” clothes instead of my WFH trash outfit of skintight shorts, crop top no bra, unbrushed hair in headband, no makeup ugly shoes on… he said I’d be fine. Not only was it crowded, but Spanberger was AT my polling location

this quote is what gets me the most about these people. you can’t deal with annoying people on your side? Are you a baby? Do you have any actual ethics?

Laughing in real life at the thought of her sending me this with no prior conversation

volunteering to run a program or help out a community org in your neighborhood or town is the best way to meet interesting people as an adult and have interesting conversations. it's annoying to read someone say this, but unfortunately it's true. also it's free. why not give it a shot

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

We are being held hostage by people with the weakest resolve imaginable. These guys are weaker than every annoying, Tumblr-brained tenderqueer. They would have never survived being a bad female gamer in the 2000s on forums and mIRC. They would have never survived mommy blogger groups of the 2010s.

Do not tell Taylor Lorentz!!!!

Wow it‘s crazy how many genuinely evil people are in this one room

it’s apparently constitution day today… the irony so thick you can cut it with a knife

killed a lively conversation in the FFXIV free company chat by bringing up Dinner with Andre, proving once again my lifelong trend of polar opposite interests and a complete inability to ever fully enmesh myself in any one group

it's manifestly obvious that Dem leadership and the Dem consultant class don't have any interest in anything but business as usual and that will remain true until some of them go down in flames as always: primary everyone

People are weird about fertilized eggs!! Just because someone illegally has a rooster at their suburban home, doesn't mean that fertilized eggs are inedible. It's not balut. The eggs don't develop into chicks AT ALL unless you have a broody hen willing to sit on them. Mine have -never- gone broody.

Rear Window but it's me looking at other people's farm animals and pets in rural areas

if you let wheaton be more concerned about its minorities than you, you gotta just [redacted]. No dropping out just [redacted].

I'm an insane person, and not only do I meal plan, but I keep an inventory of all the food in the house so I can be aware of what's going on and what's available at any point. This saves time + money, sort of, for my family. Anyway, JUDGE MY SPICE RACK!!! I am a hardcore home cook and baker. Wdyt

i don't think i agree with this, i think a lot of people don't fit neatly into political ideologies to begin with, and the idea that they do is a malfunction of the two-party system. there are people on the right who are lgbtq+. the last thing we need is continued distrust of potential allies

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score. I LOVE Drop Dead Fred. I didn't realize it was sooooo low on RT

underrated Elvis song

coates has turned out to be one of a vanishingly small number of people who both have something to lose and are willing to put it on the line to say what are clearly truthful if dangerous things. im impressed

can't wait to be smug about "quitting" this social media service i never particularly caught onto in the first place (no it's v bad that capitalist conservatives control all mainstream social media!)

took criterion a month to get gene hackman movies up, wonder how long i'll have to wait for robert redford ones

Battle doomscrolling by posting five small pleasures in life: 1) compliments -- giving and taking 2) cuddles from pets, especially ones that aren't always cuddly 3) vape pen hit + comedic tv show = millennial weeknight heaven 4) new sprouts and blooms in the garden 5) bread and butter

Let me put it this way: Mahmoud Khalil is a Palestinian immigrant with a green card who worked with deeply unpopular groups. My median follower is a white guy with a 401(k) who was born in this country. We all need to be a little braver than we have been; we can afford it.

Stephen Miller just says it: “The power of law enforcement, under President Trump’s leadership, will be used to find you, will be used to take away your money, take away your power, and, if you’ve broken the law, to take away your freedom.”

horrified they weren’t quick enough to keep her from spreading this kind of vile hate speech on TV. for those who don’t know, “go birds” is a coded expression of support for the Philadelphia Eagles

"To a supremacist society, most of us are acceptable losses. Charlie Kirk is not. To a supremacist society, guns are allowed to kill most of us, and the pundits can debate later how sad our deaths were. But guns were not supposed to kill Charlie Kirk." www.the-reframe.com/acceptable-l...

The Palestine Exception becomes the Universal Rule. It is shocking the number of normal nice liberals who, in 2025, do not know what Canary Mission is. What "normies" are experiencing now is what critics of Israel have always experienced.
