Democratic strategists and leadership must take a special pill every morning to help them forget that the Normal we had before Trump… Was the Normal that gave us Trump. And they can't goddamn stop trying to get back to it.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

this guy sent his goons to shoot and kill two civilians in minneapolis a few months ago. anyone at that dinner is complicit

All the “journalists” who went to the WHCD have been enabling this fascistic takeover of the US for over a decade now. They’ve consistently leveled softball questions at this admin about all kinds of violence perpetrated against ppl globally. Forgive me with I withhold my sympathies in this moment.

Who the hell does she think she is? Taylor Nation?

If this was, in fact, an active shooter situation, treating it like a minor inconvenience so you can go back to your fancy dinner is the most end-stage American capitalism display I could possibly imagine

Seems reasonable, think about everything that the attendees needed to deliberately ignore in order to show up in the first place

Hell yea, I’m fucking pissed. I’m a woman and I’m enraged. And I don’t give a fuck if that makes anyone uncomfortable. Frankly, if you’re not pissed, you’re part of the problem.

Why aren't you embarrassed about publishing this?

I try to avoid reading his drivel as much as possible, but who is reading this shit and thinking to themselves, “Yes, this is a totally normal and stable individual?” I mean, Jesus Christ.

liberals want a nicer cage. leftists want out.

said that the difference was that liberals judge society on the quality of life for the median, and leftists judge society on the quality of life for the lowest class. I think that's actually pretty correct. I'm a leftist because I reject the idea that some suffering is inevitable and unavoidable.

If even one person in your society can't get food or shelter or education or healthcare or representation, your whole society fucking sucks. A rather famous person, during a conversation with me on social media about liberalism vs leftism (she's a lib, I'm a leftist),

And the reason I'm not a liberal is because by the time you make sufficient reforms to capitalism to make it equitable ...it's not capitalism anymore. I don't accept a middle ground as "good enough" either.

I oppose capitalism because I believe a system based on extractivist racism is irredeemable and unreformable. As long as capitalism exists, there must be a lower caste to exploit. I don't believe that a system which requires exploitation deserves to exist. So my anticapitalism is based on people.

Last night I dreamt that I was in middle school but I was my current age and I was being put on trial by my middle school for stealing a classmate’s mother’s pearl necklace. But checkmate—why would I steal a pearl necklace when I was already given one for my 16th birthday?

Doing well ❤️‍🩹

The Yassification of Trump.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

no no you don’t get it we need the national guard to do MPD’s beat so MPD can cover for the park police who are covering for the other Feds who are now the presidents personal paramilitary force, it’s very simple —murial bowser, probably

Uh yea. This anxiety ain’t soothing itself.

I'm milling my own grain and baking my own bread, and making cookies from scratch with eggs from my backyard chickens. But don't mistake me... I'm not trying to give trad wife vibes with this post. I want to put on a witch's hat and go frolic in my herb garden and hex the government.

Women are always held responsible for men’s behavior. And both girls and boys are taught this dynamic starting in school with how we police the way girls dress. “Girls mustn’t wear short shorts or bare their shoulders! It’s distracting to the boys!”

So, what Kernen is saying here is that he doesn’t believe in the 4th Amendment of the Constitution.

i feel like a little rabbit where if someone else stresses me out i will have a heart attack and die

This is Kemba. He has a broken jaw. My husband found him while out running on Saturday. First foster of the season 😭

...and then those same people turning around and asking where all the protests are against Trump.

I am so sick of people calling protesters agitators, cheering for their arrests, claiming they wouldn't be charged with felonies unless they deserved it, saying they're being paid by Hamas or Russia, calling them secret MAGA, yelling "FAFO!!" when they lose their homes and school and healthcare...

Can I get Blasphemy for $1000, Alec?

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

Apropos of nothing, boosting this from yesterday

Dumb bitches be dumb bitching.

It's an indictment of the entire Dem party that Schumer remains Senate minority leader.

Perfect demonstration that the American conservative definition of liberty has always been “freedom for me to make you do what I want,” with the accompanying assumption that anyone denying that must want to do the same to them

I keep seeing headlines about the “fragile ceasefire in the US-Israeli war in the ME” and newsflash: It’s not a ceasefire if Israel is still bombing the shit out of Lebanon and the US and Israel are lying and saying Lebanon was never part of the deal.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Liberals really think Biden was poor smol bean that everybody was being mean to when they're not being mean to Trump. He's not small bean he's one of the most craven people to exist Trump just exceeds him, he saw the pictures of shredded babies too & never stopped. And we're being mean to Trump too.

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast

American exceptionalism is a narcissistic perspective at its core. Leaders who embrace that ideology exhibit unwillingness to expand empathy and respect to the perceived enemy even in the service of developing effective strategies for wars. That failure has massive costs, including American lives.

The question I want answered by every member of the Senate and the House is "what did you do in the last 8 hours?" That's it. I don't need spin, I sure as hell don't need a story. I just want a list. What the fuck did you do today?

💯 I have been fighting against this conservative nightmare since before I could vote, but I acknowledge my responsibility as an American citizen to the world. We’ve created so much hurt and chaos—we don’t now get to say “Not my monkey, not my circus.” And it’s not fair, but hey, life’s not fair.

Impeachment: Majority of House + 2/3 of Senate 25th Amendment: Vice President + Majority of Cabinet + 2/3 of House + 2/3 of Senate

No Trump. No Troops. No War. Trump must be held accountable for his words and actions. We cannot stay silent. Join us in the streets, tomorrow. #notrump #notroops #nowar

As Trump threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization and seemingly invokes the possibility of deploying a nuclear bomb, Democrats are on vacation engaging in a heated debate about whether they should associate with Hasan Piker

I’m absolutely nauseated to be an American right now. I basically have been since I was 17, but it’s reached a zenith. What’s about to potentially be done in our name is abhorrent. Our government has let us down. We’ve let ourselves down.

"He wants Democrats to listen to their base" "It's like I'm seeing two Stephen's Miller"

Israel has admitted that it plans to control southern Lebanon and continue destroying Lebanese homes after the war ends. Israel is entering wars to steal land and expand its borders to implement its vision of “Greater Israel.”
