The jokes fucking write themselves, honestly.

"Even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward... The day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try."

Finally, and most importantly, this all but confirms that Harry Potter adults are feckless scum

I do think this is a win. Like it's not the end of fascism in America but it's a nice reminder that as much as this admin and its corporate collaborators love to pretend to have strength and control, they will quickly back down with even the smallest bit of community coordination and pushback.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

God this current crop of fascists are just such fucking DORKS. 🤦‍♀️

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

See, when the shit really comes down, people know you can't be trusted. They've have already started turning towards other, better, more constant and ethical voices. Bootlick yourself into irrelevancy. Nobody's stopping you.

Y'all want to pretend like Charlie Kirk wasn't Charlie Kirk, that's fine. Delete posts, ban people, wave the flag at half-mast, call for unity, all of that. Show him more veneration you ever did for other victims, and do it loudly and blatantly, sure. By all means, break any last trust you had.

I refuse to be scolded over this. Democrats' obsession with decorum and "going high when they go low" is so utterly exhausting. I'm glad Charlie Kirk is dead, and I'm not gonna pretend otherwise. I'm just sorry for his daughter's sake that her father was such an unrepentant shithead.

Rush Limbaugh used to rattle off names of gay men who'd died from AIDS while playing upbeat music. Alex Jones called grieving parents "crisis actors." They cheered RBG passed away. They laughed when Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer. They went wild when Biden was diagnosed with cancer.

conservatives are increasingly going to deal with issues because they treat a man being murdered in broad daylight and a beloved character being recast with a black actor as the exact same level of severity. everything is a crisis and the only acceptable response is to "crush" the enemy

Trump is dying. He doesn’t have a lot of time left. So they’re trying to speedrun a military dictatorship and rig future elections before it gets handed to JD Vance and all support from MAGA dries up. Without that, they’ll lose power real quick.

Liberals will always and forever consider human rights a secondary issue. It's something they'll champion only when it's convenient.

Y'all are treating trans people wanting their human rights like they're quibbling over tax reform and it says so much about you.

Texas Republicans passed their absurdly gerrymandered map. So the Democrats' little stunt of fleeing the state that everyone was patting them on the back for ultimately amounted to a brief delay. And having achieved a purely symbolic victory, they proudly returned...and the vote immediately passed.

There's an almost maniacal glee that comes out in white, cis, able-bodied liberals when someone who's a minority, fat, disabled, trans, etc. does something bad, because they think that gives them carte blanche to unload with the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that they've been bottling up.

my total capitulation to current attention mining technologies (smartphones, social media) has forced me to confront the harsh truth that there's no way I would have been able to resist the influence of the One Ring

For the same reason as every other time far right parties gained power; capitalism shit the bed, leftist ideas started to become more popular in response, and centrism refused to stand against fascism because they prefer fascists over leftists.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Hey, political parties, I'm a decent human being who cares about other human beings. How about pandering to me for a bit?

Yeahhh no. This ain't it, Mark. Not when his overall complaint is that Trump isn't ENOUGH of a Nazi. I'd love it if everyone could stop handing it to broken clocks for being right twice a day.

The South Park guys are big ol' transphobes who were just a few seasons ago whining about 'diversity' and spent several seasons bitching and moaning about 'Political Correctness' like it was the friggin' 90s. You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to them.

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Make Democrats Earn Our Votes Again

Psychically gaslighting a gnoll into murdering and eating her friends

happy birthday to the author of the best tweet in history

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

this is why people were excited about walz for a sec, why people like JB, why people like AOC, why people like bernie. they're all very different places on the socialist-to-centrist scale but they do all clearly believe in what they're saying, and have signature progressive policies they fight for

Dear Dems: this is what we want. This is who we want. Listen to us.

Wherever Dsvid Hogg is tonight I hope he made himself a lil sweet treat

Congratulations, New York. You FINALLY got it right. Tonight was another nail in the coffin of neoliberalism. We're all sick and tired of the Democratic party in its current form. It's time to start primarying these decrepit motherf*ckers.

If the left is unable to organize around material interests, then the right will organize the dispossessed around racial nationalism. -Adolf Reed Jr, 1996

Neoliberal policies have led to despair, and despair breeds hatred and fear — the fertile ground for fascism. -Dr. Cornel West, 2014

This is not just about Trump. This is about the decades of neoliberalism that have eroded the conditions of the working class and created a political vacuum. And when there is a vacuum, fascism fills it. -Angela Davis, 2016

leftists said the Democratic Party is ignoring the material conditions of the working class: stagnant wages, the housing crisis, the crumbling infrastructure, medical bankruptcies. and how all of that would create an opening for fascism. but liberals called us purists, unrealistic, perfectionists.

liberals: i can’t believe this is happening 😱 leftists: we predicted all of this, here are all our articles, books and lectures explaining it from years ago. liberals: shut up. vote blue no matter who. your stupid socialist revolution will never happen. we have to move to the right.

The X-Men have never made sense being part of the larger shared Marvel universe, and their metaphor has constantly been actively harmed by the fact that they are. They should exist on a separate Earth where they're the only superpowered beings.
