Apocalypse, Interrupted

He sounds great and I hope he wins, but I've watched us run all sorts of Ruff n Tuff Big n Bad Patriotic Veterans, only to find out that the voters who sneer at us for being pansies are bullshitting. They want misogyny/ racism, and they don't care if is delivered by a marshmallow soft draft dodger.

If my country is the country of Jim Crow, it is also the country of Thaddeus Stevens, and it is incumbent upon us to make this the sort of country that embodies the ideals for which Thaddeus Stevens was ostracized after his death

It’s so visual and sadly beautiful.

Trans rights are human rights.

The U.S. government handed a 3-year-old to an abuser to torture him to death, and then his mother was allotted one hour for his funeral.

1 June 1931 | A Polish Jewish girl, Mila Braunfeld, was born in Jordanów. She was deported to #Auschwitz from ghetto in Bochnia and murdered in a gas chamber on 31 August 1943.

Liberals: "Conservatism is all about reaction to changing gender roles." Reactionary Centrists: "That's a damn dirty smear, a baseless oversimplification!" Musk: "No, no, they got it right."

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

My suggestion: Attorney General Launches Criminal Investigation Into All Women Who Wouldn't Date Me

In the next Reconstruction, we need to learn the lessons, and not be afraid to be punitive to collaborators. Yes, they should be afraid of exposure and public scorn.

Whenever you see "Trans" in a news story, replace it with "Jew" or "Black" and see how it sounds.

105 yrs ago tonight and tomorrow, an organized and resentful White mob raged through the African-American neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma—known as “Black Wall Street” for its wealth—burning and looting 35 city blocks, massacring up to 300 African-Americans, and leaving 10,000 homeless.

Racists and bigots need to be treated as we do pedophiles; Something so abhorrent and dangerous that they must be shunned, blocked, shamed, and driven from polite society and given no tolerance or safe haven anywhere.

The Party of Manly Men, In The Pride Of Their Manhood.

GOP confirming the "Party of sexually insecure men" theory.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

"Our seniors shouldn't have to pay for coffee at Starbucks." "Our First Responders shouldn't have to pay for auto insurance." "Our Uniformed Warriors shouldn't have to pay for video games."

The fact that the govt can just, on a whim, give a gazillion dollars to ICE, and with a wave of the imperious hand, spend billions per day on a ridiculous war of choice without anyone bothering to ask "How are you going to pay for that?" shows why 2029 Dem Fed/State Govt should absolutely do this.

26 May 1885 | A German Jewish woman, Margarete Horwitz, was born in Berlin. During the war she lived in Amsterdam. In February 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Adding to Tom Steyer discourse

25 May 1892 | Jewish man, Bernhard Davidsen, was born in Vitebsk. He emigrated to Norway in 1912. A coachman. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 1 December 1942 and was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

They say the door to Hell is locked from the inside. And the same is true of reactionary politics. The solution to the Male Loneliness Epidemic <dismissive wanking gesture> is and has always been feminism. Simple as. Men, go clean your rooms and learn feminism.

Since acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has confirmed that “Anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they are a victim of weaponization,” I decided to apply for reparations. Here is a template if you want to draft your own demand: shero.substack.com/p/everyone-c...

"Juniper was simply the most amazing human being we have ever known — highly intelligent, extremely talented, and deeply sensitive to the needs of others. Juniper’s loss not only devastates us but diminishes the world." www.them.us/story/slain-...

I‘ve said this since the 2016 election: republicans would happily submit America to foreign vassalage to literally any potentate, so long as the suzerain allowed them free rein to oppress their domestic opponents.

They are traitors, unworthy of the mantle of citizenship.

15 May 1905 | A Polish Jew, Moszek Oracz, was born. A baker. In #Auschwitz from 1 October 1941. No. 21183 He perished in the camp on 14 November 1941.

That this looks like a map of the Confederacy is entirely coincidental.

Every time DOGE is mentioned. This should be the headline. Yes, DOGE did many heinous things. But causing the deaths of up to 300,000 children through withholding aid surely must be the worst?

Time like this, of massive upheaval in the established order, offer us the opportunity to do truly radical things previously unthinkable. Compress Idaho, Wyoming, Montana into a single state? Sure! Ditto the Dakotas. Expand SCOTUS, expand Congress...the possibilities are endless.

Superb report from @sightline.org: "Apartments Are the Climate Solution Hiding in Plain Sight" Yes. Don't overcomplicate things, just build a bunch of f'ing apartments.

Hey, I’ve got a cameo in this. 😊👍

But don't call it gender affirming care.

Hard to be a strolling minstrel with this big fella to lug around. Very pizzazzy piece!

NEW: In this majority-Latino city in California, the GOP had long maintained an iron grip on local government. But that all changed this spring: Anger toward ICE raids, immigrant organizing, and surging turnout for local elections, it all made for a Dem sweep—& flip. Check out the story:

This is a good point. Corruption doesn't create wealth, it just takes it from one pocket and puts it in another.
