We're going to win. We are. And one day a girl like me will never have to fight. But today is not that day Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I am laughing so hard right now I had to cover my mouth so I didn't piss off my neighbor Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Smart move by two young upstate NY reporters: they filed a FOIA for body cameras worn by the sheriff’s deputies at an ICE raid. These are almost always civil raids so there’s no ongoing criminal investigation that would require that footage to stay confidential. Replicable by any media outlet.

It's honestly not great how often this needs to be repeated.

Who decided they should be called “Homeowners’ Associations” and not “Local Lawn Enforcement”?

There is no peace or justice with shit like this going unanswered. There is no world where you can mouth equality while someone wanders the streets as a "peace officer" having used an autistic child as bait.

To those who are confused about the where, when, how, & why of all the bullshit we are seeing now in politics, but wasn't in gaming in 2014, let me introduce you to Gamergate. It's what everyone is living through now cause no one in power learned anything from it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYW...

This. This is the tact everyone should take when any elected official or someone of power says anything about public transit that isn't, "We are dumping SO MUCH $ INTO THESE NEW TRAINS" Explain shit to your neighbors, boo and shout at electeds.

I think it's important for real opposition people to start realizing that idiot enemies are a threat enough on their own. Their foolishness makes them far more dangerous than those who are not fools, for they lack the knowledge safeguards to stop them from doing w/e tf they are gonna do./1

Better, if you are in an institution that's caving, and want to step up into power, hold this shit tight and keep shouting it. The Sword of Damocles hangs by a thread, if they wanna cut it & get impaled, put your hands on the grip and take the throne. They stay because no one pushes them out. Push

It would do many organizers far more good to be able to quote 2Pac of Marx to make their point. I'm just saying, "As the Bard said, "I ain't stopping 'till I'm well paid."" goes much harder as a cry for worker solidarity than seizing the means.

lol, pro-life/low birth rate ppl, when you gonna start threatening private equity out of the housing market to protect the lives of all the wanted but unhad children brought on by the housing crisis?/1

this archetype remains undefeated

hate to say i told you so share.google/4FfpeWYJ8kEF...

I'd say it's defined by nihilism & the belief that if nothing else matter, and one's pains & needs cannot be seen or met, than neither should anyone else's, and any struggle against that is fruitless. The shooting is just to illustrate that & how they will continue, cause stopping them don't matter.

“This country has about 4 firearms for every person in it. 35 years ago, we introduced a machine that renders some people incapable of relating to other human beings as people. Let’s see what happens.”

Guys if these billionaires can’t afford to be taxed, maybe JUST MAYBE they’re living outside their means.

It is becoming more & more obvious to me that Kamala is just JD Vance in the Dems category. Like, all these fucks come from the same Silicon Valley donor pool who think they are prophets sent to lead us all, and they act accordingly. She also has his charisma fr XD.

@nittles.bsky.social I feel like you need to see this XD.

Putting it here for posterity later: If you are a doctor or work in the medical field, and are dealing with the wave of anti-science/anti-med sentiment that rolls through from this current moment, it is your duty to direct that anger they feel towards the real source of the problem, the industry/1

lol this is just going to be us for the next 4+ years fr, as we all watch to see who stops it. Work hard now, and it could be you that puts an end to this continued stupidity.

In other news: A friend of mine apparently found a box turtle on their 2nd story balcony with no visible way for him to have gotten up there. While we find someone to help figure out if he's wildlife or if he's a pet that somehow got up to the top floor of the apartment I'm calling him Parakarry.

#GMery: Going back to writing my Apothecaria runthrough with luck tonight, where one of the main side characters is a Knight who's Knightly Order is basically AA where you work the 12 steps to handle your bullshit & try to be a better person than you were yesterday. This is my #TTRPG worldbuilding.

This is true on all fronts. When we allow the state to pawn off blame onto things we don't understand, it allows the failures of that state to accelerate while all of us are staring at the wrong problem. It is, once again, rich white folk, convincing poor white folk, that it's someone/something else

To all my fellow Autistic & ADHD ppl: This bullshit is just the admin once again trying to scapegoat their own deep unseriousness at the responsibility of leadership as well as our country's continued goal at the same. We are not the problem & never have been, a state that does not help its ppl is.

Saw a video talking about the Black Tailed Rattlesnake Crotalus Molossus, and I thought Molossus was Molasses, and after seeing one, Molasses is a solid description for that brown black coloring it has. Also Molasses Rattlesnake as a name would be very funny and cool, just saying.

Lord is it tiring having to watch the dumbest bratty subs on earth meet with the worst Dom on earth to ruin our lives as part of their foreplay every other week. Stg, can't we just give them a gov't playset on an island and move the fuck on from this bullshit?

lol Klein advocates to "embrace what I think obviously follows from that alarm, which is the willingness to make strategic and political decisions you find personally discomfiting, even though they are obviously more likely to help you win." but none of them seem to be things that discomfort him./1

I feel like the keystone species to look for in a healthy social media are. 1.) NSFW Accounts existing alongside SFW stuff 2.) Trans ppl just getting to live their lives online. 3.) Furries getting to live their lives. The more of the 3 you have, the healthier the ecosystem is.

Okay, I think I understand why both of these 2 get all the coverage they do. The slowest play on earth to get a crossover game in the history of the medium XD.

People wonder why the nihilism and scam culture exists in the US. When the people in the highest seats of power are shown to never be held to task, you are telling everyone else it either does not matter, or if you get high enough it won't have to matter to you. Then ppl act accordingly.

It is important to remember that Dems have a consistent love of coming into a situation and capitulating or trying to change things without fully understanding the game on the ground & fucking up royally. It's why they can't handle gun control, trans rights, or really anything we want.

To everyone talking about Klein. His ass is bought & paid for by Koch & Thiel $, they are funding his Abundance bullshit push. All this shit you are seeing now is him doing what they paid for, trying to launder Reganomics bullshit to your aunties. Don't dunk on him, tell your ppls about the poison.

Fact check: Axios reported leadership was NOT whipping for the vote, even though they did support it. You can tell this is likely the case because many Dems (like CBC) voted No. McBride is talked about because she acts like she represents trans people, and constant demeans our efforts. Very simple.

Both a good little vid, & a reminder that I want a world where we can all spend more time watching a crab figure out what a camera is lol.

Blaming voters for not voting hard enough is blaming the victim because of what they were wearing. It's purity politics meant to distract the arguers from the source of the problem. Our political leaders are trash, & we are stretched so thin it's almost impossible to scare them back into compliance.

And I'll be honest a lot of the worst panic (often along with outright misinformation) is coming from queer gentry whose reality is imploding because they can't imagine community and survival, let alone defiance, outside official government sanction and their relatively cushy lives.

I have to say it: Gay Inc are cowards. Working class/poor queers, however much fear we're dealing with, are consistently speaking out and mustering defiance. But those with far more connections and resources are scared to? They can grow a spine. If they can't speak out now, there's no point to them

This. Remember, if they had the power to exert the danger they are threatening, they'd do it. Being out in these streets and being a nuisance is keeping them scared and showing all their incompetence. Don't leave the streets, keep them for us and shove these fuckers out.

This. The people who your work matters to do not care about your posting habits, and the people who care about your posting habits do not matter to the work. Do the work & the validation for it will come from those you help & the work itself. This place is salt water while you are dying of thirst.

This is true, but to add to it, this is like trying to find logic in your attacker as they are beating on you. That is a waste of your time while the blood is running out of you, now is the time to defend yourself. This is why you punch Nazi's, not argue with them.

The idea that “the civil rights act was a mistake” is a mainstream conservative position we can only tolerate but “defund the police” is a great cancer that must be excised from America for Democrats to win is the actual reason Democrats lose. Sorry.

God, it feels so good to see a trailer that rules. That narrator is killing it!

lmao, this'll be how ppl end up booked w/a barber in another state, or a bunch of groceries they don't want and can't return.

I'm gonna just say this: if you are a trans person, you need to have other trans people in your life that you can co-regulate with and you need to talk to them more than you talk to Bluesky. This app is a firehose of terror and bad news for us and it's going to tie your amygdala in a damn knot.

Jfc, we are getting killed by a man who looks like he went, "I want to look like what if Doc Brown decided to be a Nazi and was totally maidenless" God these people are fucking losers & our leaders are such losers for getting swept by them.
