MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Like yes, calling a trans kid by their chosen name and pronouns makes them feel more safe at school and that improves overall mental well-being, but you should also do it because you're an adult who can choose not to act like a dick

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road. "Just trying to grab some lunch and these fucking losers showed up. FUCK ICE!" source:

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

one cynically funny thing about Hegseth thinking he can retcon the genocide atop which America was built is that the rest of the world is not fooled & will never be fooled. World history will always teach that the Army committed organized murder of civilians at Wounded Knee. It’s generally known

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the GOP, who vilify them and threaten to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

the shooter was just a cis dude but even if he was the most trans person to ever trans it wouldnt justify rounding up all the trans people for crimes they didnt commit, really wish people in positions of power would be saying this

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies" Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."
