the last sentences are empirical, cold fact

Why is America ok with guns being used to kill innocents in public places but not used against domestic terrorists? 🫤 If you weren't ok with it, you'd have done something drastic by now. Something honorable. Americans have no honor, easily led, easily manipulated. Too complacent.

Libertarians are so addicted to what they call "freedoms" and ancaps are even more delusional. To both I will go as far as to say that rights, freedom, and the free market DO NOT FUCKING MATTER if there is no humanity to enjoy them. I would give up all these if it meant saving mankind.

FULLSUIT FURSUIT FOR SALE Due to no longer fitting him I am selling my 10 year old fursuit Alistair the Barn owl made by @snowgryphonsuits.bsky.social Fits 5'7, shoe 7/8 (I am 7 1/2), chest fit a d-cup well can give more detailed measurements on request. (more below)

Harpies. A birdfolk people. Despite their predatory nature, they do not eat anyone; instead, they practice agriculture and possess the most advanced civilization on the planet.

Anyone else find themselves getting angry on more than occasion and spreading it in a way they ought not? I find that with myself, if politics comes up, no matter who I speak to, I get too angry. Ugh.

ICE recruits should be the first ones shipped off for “war.”

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

every creative job I've seen recently has been for training ai or it is for some ai company for an unspecified reason... and it's not much better in the tech jobs I've seen either, although it's different in that they just want you to be comfortable using ai to help make the code. 🙃

Writing helps you organize and clarify your own thoughts. When others read, it helps them do the same, whether they agree with you or not. Both of us probably need the reminder a year from now. This is why it’s valuable to write, even if your ideas aren’t unique.

A good reason to switch to linux is that unlike even 5 years ago, it is now possible to use linux *without* summoning cenobites. Zero barbed hooks erupt from the walls, for those who for some reason dislike barbed hooks erupting from the walls, unless you turn on that setting.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

i realized that i've spent so long trying to be nice that i forget that sometimes people are just losers

I won’t forget. I won’t forgive. “Worst of the worst” is a lie used to justify mass harm. You don’t terrorize this many people to stop a few. This is an attack on Americans, deliberate, cowardly, and unforgivable.

Thinking about Bionicle

seriously though... there's too many terrorists in this country and when we take it back and get our rights again we are going to have to deal with random attacks on vulnerable populations. instead of letting it happen this time we have to stop it.

The biggest misconception is that immigrants get into the country right at the border. Most just fly in and overstay their visa.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Racism has a material impact on people's lives. I don't know what else to say. It leads to premature death on a daily basis.

I’m actually surprised that the 2A supporters are actually surprised their authoritarian Govt. suddenly isn’t so keen that everyone actually should have guns. Did they skip history in school?

And you’d also need to then conclude that the USA is technically already in an active civil war.

No, what I meant is that their fantasies of control rely on a technological future that doesn’t currently exist. They desire an economy not dependent on human labor enforced by an army not dependent on human labor.

This is no longer about politics. It is about good vs evil. Remember this. You have not got hate so deep in your soul it makes you evil. You still have your moral code, and don’t have to pretend to be religious for pseudo righteousness.

We should be mindful that even people sharing our own political views can spread lies and propaganda.It's damaging to our cause. It infects every interaction with them. It's best to cut them off. Have nothing to do with such people

What we are seeing right now in this country is not democracy. It’s full-blown fascism to the point of being a militarized police state. Thankfully the majority of the people know what they’re seeing with their own eyes is wrong and action must be taken before it gets any worse. #Maddow

It's hard to believe that any MAGA voters would turn on Trump. In voting for him, they've literally accepted Trump's claim that anything bad he has done or continues to do that is "fake news".

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Its crazy how so many knew this BEFORE the election and just how many have finally started to see the light.

I had to spend the weekend offline to regenerate. So I used my spare time to create a zine. I haven’t made one in about 20 years. I think I need to get back into it.

To all the “this is not what I voted for” people, this is exactly what you voted for, you just thought you’d be exempt from the consequences. That’s the difference.

In the mind of ICE, to be nonwhite is to be illegal. Anything short of total rejection of that abomination is playing along with it. Moderate Democrats take note.

There’s nothing Trump has succeeded in other than making America a shithole country.

There was a thing floating around the other day where it was like “name five modules you did at university” or whatever and I couldn’t remember all the names but now: Cold War Culture American Gothic Contemporary America in Context Strategic Studies Challenges of International Politics

Meanwhile in the US:

These kind of people never understand that if everyone had to pay for everything “ala carte” it would cost a lot more than the pennies in comparison that everyone contributes collectively now.

Position yourself at, “Why should I have to pay for…?” and you can understand the Republican approach to life.

To all those who get offended by calls to abolish ICE: A lot of government agencies have come and gone over the years. ICE (as well as CBP) have only existed since 2003. Before ICE, the organization that did some of what ICE is SUPPOSED to do was the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

Everyone knows Trump is robbing us, blind and putting us at risk.Yet.Nobody stops him every day. Everyone in this country knows.

anyone who wants to do that right now is not on the Good Guys team and should be regarded as enemies of civilization

since we're living through fascism part 2 it's good to remember that the original nazis invented privatizing large government services

It will be a great day when the average citizen starts collecting on a “catch an ex-ICE” daily quota.

When you don't vote you voted for this. When you don't stand up against fascism, you gave away your democracy. When you sit still when the government murders citizens, don't expect anyone to stand up for you. The only one's left will be the ones that are okay with this.
