These guys’s self-radicalization cycle came from not showing their work on a math problem allegedly lol.

This also kind of explains the misogyny, since so many elementary teachers are women.

Apart from the fact he's like literally The Pope, Leo XIV has a Masters in Divinity and a PhD in Canon Law! Most Cardinals have terminal degrees! It's a "guys who know a lot about theology" job, kinda obviously!

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

Vaccination ought to be mandatory tbh.

As I said: you can be a fighting Centrist because, funnily enough, you don’t have to fight against the left wing of the Democratic Party, when the Confederates are right there.

Watching DS9 reruns and I forgot the one where Dax gets an insecure symbiote understudy has some random Klingon accordion dinner music

"No, no, you guys don't get it! Vance is smarter than Trump, and more able to seem normal. He's Peter Thiel's handpicked succesor! He's gonna be worse than Trump and more effective at actually establishing fascism and charming powerful people and getting institutional buy in!" -too many people

Hungarians showed how much they wanted rid of the man irritating them. You could say they really booed a pest.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

The second half of the 2020s breaking the Chud Internationale would really redeem the decade

it's just the fight now & will be for the foreseeable future - across nations, within nations, every institution, every level of society & victory will go to the side that wants it most

the world's a strange chaotic place, nothing is certain, & it's not as if there's a guaranteed playbook for victory but this is absolutely a fight we can win, our team wins all the time

don't let anyone say or imply modern fascism is unavoidable or unbeatable these freaks lose all the time

It really is a very very good thing that Trump anointed such an anticharismatic, untalented, drippy little weirdo as his heir.

He worked so hard in his young life to appeal to an audience of rich conservative insiders and did so well at it that he thought it would be easy to transfer those skills to the rest of the world and lol no

Keep imagining Orbán thinking to himself "I've got the machinery in place to seize and keep power anyway but if I do they're going to keep sending JD Vance to talk to me and l just don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to talk to JD Vance anymore."

Like it just really is shocking the contrast between his attitude of sneering condescension and the reality of him as an utterly hapless buffoon.

JD Vance truly a loser among losers.

definitely taking note of which outlets/reporters are uncritically spreading this idea

“I secretly opposed all the bad things that happened and supported all the good things” never works, I mean these people delude themselves into thinking it might, but maybe it will work for him

and i suppose i must have missed those times when vance urged caution regarding the president's saber-rattling against greenland and venezuela and cuba

i mean, it sure is curious that this only started after it became abundantly clear that this is a catastrophe, isn't it?

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

I’ve seen enough. God is 1) real 2) nonbinary 3) primarily motivated by a deep hatred of JD Vance

for the international ideological movement.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

And people say we should be scared of this man's political acumen, that he would be even more dangerous than Trump, that his smarts and wiles are not to be underestimated

us libs would be so owned if JD was atop the ticket in & charge of the GOP's 2028 electoral strategy

A lot of the people who said “I live in a blue state” were in Pennsylvania or Michigan in 2016

this is exactly why I get so annoyed by people who say “oh I live in a blue state, it doesn’t matter who I vote for so I’ll protest vote for the Green Party” when you’re up against fascists, you need as big of a margin as possible

Every so often I log into Bluesky on exactly the right day at exactly the right time, what a wonderful moment to celebrate

you can in fact vote your way out

Bluesky rn

oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry

Turns out you actually *can* vote your way out of fascism, which is why fascists try so fucking hard to keep ppl away from the polls

Excited for the crash outs from the “you can’t vote your way out of this!” crowd.

Message to the "voting doesn't matter, both parties are the same" fascist-enablers: Showing up in overwhelming numbers both wins the election and weakens the bad guys. Make "too big to rig" the mantra for Democratic turnout.

Turnout in Hungary is sky-high, a bad sign for the ruling party. And so Balazs Orban, who was paid Western intellectuals to endorse Victor Orban, is already calling election fraud. Where are you Ilya Shapiro? Rod Dreher? Chris Rufo? Kevin Roberts? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

This is cause for celebration. May the entire white supremacist international he helped create also fall.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

gotta get comfortable speaking the language of illegitimacy

>Will Stancil had a network of honeypot informants who’d get ice to dump operational information to them >if cover blown, would forward the chats to the guys wives to ruin their marriages

If I ever write a memoir or something about this time, my friend did this has already given me permission to tell the full story (it gets better but certain things aren’t ready for public consumption). Really, so much stuff has happened (and is still happening) here that I hope people one day know
