These stats are further evidence that politicians insisting on still posting on Twitter / X, are doing so because they have absolutely no problem with child sexual images, the promotion of far-right ideology and multiple instances of persistent lawbreaking. techcrunch.com/2026/01/18/t...

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Thats because with tools they developed the club! And soon if not stopped they will master the mysteries of cow atomic weapons.

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

What a complete waste of time for these people who have to cover Grandpa sundown at every turn. Just years of your life down the tubes.

Do you all have amnesia. Was there a mass head trauma event in the Democratic Party. Would you like to see the reports from the federal commission who had to come in and oversee the SPD because they won’t STOP KILLING THEIR OWN CITIZENS?????

After her vote to remove tricare coverage for transgender kids, I will not be supporting Amy Klobuchar for any office. She can pound sand. Find someone else to fill the governorship.

If the people in your replies had this much energy for knocking on doors they would have won the election.

We’re all at different points in our own journeys and there are plenty of *OBVIOUS* things that took me far too long to get too but when I see people earnestly saying shit like 「 why doesn’t congress stop him ‽ 」 I really just can’t help but wonder what more it’s gonna take for some people to get it

I can't express how much I do not care what happens to the Trump-Kennedy Center. Oh to be privileged enough to give a shit about a particular art venue and not <waves hands broadly at the rest of the world>.

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

I think the bird can take her in a fight.

Whether it’s trans rights, or genocide funding, or all sorts of corrupt corporate laws, there’s only so many times you can fuck over your voters before you make yourselves our enemy. It’s madness to think you deserve unconditional support just for sometimes being a bit better than actual Nazis.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

So we are going to watch the democrats fail at triangulation again and lose an election to Nazis while the democrats back genocide, techno fascists and claim anyone left of thatcher is a terrorist threat?

It’s super cool how the democrats capitulate with the fascists to end the government shut down and in so doing helped the fascists destroy the aca. Next the democrats are going to help these fascists destroy medicade etc while telling you they are not. The democrats are poison.

At some point something is going to give in this country and no one is going to be safe.

Speaking as the president of an NGO and as a trans woman: when orgs decide to abandon a group, to sacrifice them, it is not that group’s job to “understand how hard it would have been to fight.” If trans people hope to survive, it is our job to make that abandonment costly as hell. Make them hurt.

Almost as if it's the job of the senate democrats to do whatever they need to do to demoralize, shatter, and disenchant the base whenever we start gaining momentum. Thought experiment: If they supported Trump, how would they behave differently?

People in liberal institutions are making choices about how to portray Kirk’s life and impact, and they are projecting a reasonableness onto him that simply did not exist and omitting so much of what he said and did. Those choices have consequences for the very institutions liberals seek to defend.

When people argue that trans people refusing to support transphobic Democrats is some kind of stubborn ideological purity, what they're saying is that trans people aren't entitled to any boundaries, standards, or dignity. That we're supposed to tolerate whatever we're given.

preemptive blame of the left so they can enjoy full immunity when they lose

Answer the question. If Newsom said he opposed abortion rights for anyone under 25, would that be disqualifying?

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader? I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

some deeply weird stuff going on in the replies here. i’ve had multiple accounts show up to let me know that gavin newsom is the only person fighting against trump right now. either there’s something in the water in california or there’s a not particularly sophisticated bot operation going on

Yes, hah hah hah yes! The esteem drones are here. I am so deliriously happy I can not stand upright!

Post a show ✨older✨ than you are…
