No Kings includes Draft Kings

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

Can he be MY mayor too?

I gotta stop ranting about politics and pay attention a little less.

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Been thinking about this FB post from 2018. I was talking about the kavanaugh nomination, and 7+years later, things continue to get so much worse for sexual assault survivors. We are reminded DAILY, in intimate detail, we don't matter. I hate it here.

Everyone's opposition is always both impotent and omnipotent.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

meanwhile all the other people in the world are working 40, 50, 60 hours a week so these assholes can rape our daughters and laugh about it. this is a sick world we live in.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is. I just hate the stupidity.

Life Lessons I learned at 12 while shooting cans in the backyard:

I feel like getting the dudes who demand government issued girlfriends out of the gene pool might be one of those problems that solves itself

One thing free market fanatics can never grasp is that there are other, more worthwhile roles than ‘consumer’. Being a consumer, especially when you’re ill, is not the pinnacle of human existence.

Bragging about starving people is a choice here

The state of american politics is that one major party wants to kill you while the other simply wants you to die

The Occupation will continue until morale improves

dystopian america was more fun to read about in old scifi novels than it is to live through

It's very hard to keep people anchored in reality when so much time and effort is spent on dragging them out of it.

An ICE agent covered head-to-toe in body cams, just thousands of tiny cameras, beating the shit out of an old woman. That's the bipartisan dream

Laws are required to force law enforcement to obey laws?? Incredible..

The trainwreck in me waves to the trainwreck in you

what if we tried *not* living in a state of perpetual self-induced crisis, has anyone thought of that

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

I'm the leftiest of lefties. My dad is a big gun guy, and I grew up shooting cans in the backyard with him. Now as an adult, my fella and I regularly go to the range. So it also makes me lol that team red thinks they have a monopoly on firearms skillz.

The only thing more offensive to conservative American than murdering an unarmed white woman, is murdering an armed white man.

ugh why is everybody calling my masked armed death squads who kidnap kindergartners the gestapo

The More Ya Know...

“The idea that we motivated the entire population to despise us is too far-fetched to consider”

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

idk maybe “defund the police” wasn’t a crazy left wing overreaction but instead a very rational response to unaccountable and unending violence. then elites moved on and pretending normal status quo was ok

“They will lie about you and then kill you and they will kill you and then lie about you.” www.pbump.net/o/the-killin...

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

These are my two silkie hens, Fluff and Puff. It pisses them off, but they'll be chillin in a dog crate in my basement laundry room this weekend because they are not built for subzero. Stay safe, everybody!

the cops will continue until morale is cops

Everyone wants to blame the content: misinformation, bots, polarisation. That mistakes catalysts and symptoms for the underlying causes. The crisis isn’t bad information, it's that the very information infrastructure we relied on to create a shared understand of the world had changed completely.

Yesterday I saw two preteens walking down a busy road. It was a chilly, windy January day, and one of them ONLY had a short sleeve shirt. In that second, I wished I had a coat to offer him. So when I got home I went thru our 'coat closet' and put a couple we never wear in my car.

And, as any abuse victim knows, when you comply, they simply use that as a reason to keep doing unspeakable things to you.

we'd like to thank you for your attention to Another Unbelievably Stupid Day in America. please remember, attendance for tomorrow's performance is mandatory.

The "leftists are going to take away our hamburgers" to "it's legal to forage for grubs" pipeline has been incredible to watch.

STORM ALERT: This is my watercolor print We Grew Through Storms. I love watching storms, but I don't love being in the middle of them. Like many of us are right now. We can never predict how we are going to fare. But looking back we can say we've grown. So my hope is we will become better.

I’ve been thinking about writing my kid and spouse letters in case i end up killed by ice or random gun violence or road rage. Let them know how much i love them. How proud i am to be their mom and wife.

I have long believed that the failure to tell the full story of American history, particularly the rejection of Reconstruction by the white South, and the decades of Redemption followed by incidents of ethnic cleansing and the reimposition of white supremacy, fertilized the soil for what grows now.

Exactly. These mall cop rejects are cowards and failures, and no one knows it more than they do.

Went to the Peaceful Vigil for victims of ICE in KCMO yesterday. FREAKISHLY sunny afternoon. Saw a bunch of great signs, heard a bunch of great speakers. Felt nice to be with so many like minded peoples, but the best part was the CONSTANT honking of horns in support from cars randomly driving by.
