I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

A lot of people treat boycotts like dieting. If you "mess up" once you may as well eat a whole cake. Remember that financial pressure is about large trends. More people spending less money. You're just one part of a larger effort. Do your best; reduce your dependence on the worst of the worst.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay āThey were men who felt that The Time Had Come. Regimes can survive barbarian hordes, crazed terrorists and hooded secret societies, but they're in real trouble when prosperous and anonymous men sit around a big table and think thoughts like that.ā

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

I can't believe I have to say this, but Disney has NOT earned a reprieve just because they backpedaled in the face of $$$ loss. Don't resubscribe. Don't watch their products. Don't buy their merchandise. Don't watch ABC, ESPN or any Disney-owned station. Money is all they understand.

We can support what the CA governor is doing without forgiving or forgetting who and what he is. I support Prop 50, I support the West Coast CDC, and I don't want Gavin Newsom holding elected office again.

@karenattiah.bsky.social
levels mild criticism against a hateful white man who advocated violence against minorities, and WaPo conflates it into an attack on white men in general. Their open racism is a sign of how far we've fallen.

Yeah, no. I don't believe reporting from one person at Fox News sourced by Kash Patel's FBI about the shooter's roommate. Nor would I believe it if the BBC, the WSJ, or the Washington Post reported it because they have gotten so much wrong.

They wear AR-15 pins. They send Christmas cards with an arsenal of guns. They call for murdering homeless people. They say gun deaths are worth it. They shoot and kill puppies. They bring gallows to hang the vice president. They attack the Capitol. They revere Rittenhouse for murder.

I'm absolutely horrified. My father and grandfather were both professors at UC Berkeley. I have a multi-generational connection to this school, which just turned 160 names over to Trumpās regime for thought crimes. The stain on its hands will not be washed out.

Political violence is here. Two murdered MN lawmakers. ICE. School shootings. January 6. Charlie Kirk wanted all of it. Yes, it'll get worse, but we need to stop pretending this crosses some rubicon. We've been reaping what he helped sow for some time.
