The idea of winning votes by running candidates that appeal to bigotry is so obviously wrong-headed. A voter who is going to make their bigotry the priority is just going to vote for the most bigoted candidate. You win by differentiation, not by being the weaker version of an existing flavor.

DeTrumpification is as necessary a project to the US as DeNazification was to Germany. Everything removed from everywhere, including every person in the Trump party from every elected and appointed position of public trust, with all appropriate investigations, charges, and trials.

This is straight up just giving a the man a mic and a platform to speak and he’s going to dog walk anyone who questions him.

Racism won't end until white people confront and dismantle the system they benefit from.

At the risk of taking things too seriously I think this is directionally correct but someone ought to try to deal in the specifics with white evangelical and mormon porn consumption habits/addiction and how it supplemented the sexual segregation that was so vital to the 1990s youth group movement

They shouldn’t arrest this person, they should put them in an ad: “At popeyes our biscuits are so good that people will break in at 5 am to cook them”

Oh wow from which country

I put it all in perspective by telling myself that when he dies, everyone who matters on the entire planet will spend a few days being happier than they've been in over a decade. I dunno if it's enough, but it's what we got.

I‘ve talked about my own legal fees a bunch but now that the case is over, I can also talk about my codefendants!!! I’ve linked all of our legal defense funds in this link that I just mentioned on Morning Joe. No one should have to go bankrupt for defending themselves: linktr.ee/broadviewsix

The Netherlands are strongly demanding that Israel stop the inhumane treatment of the Sumud humanitarian flotilla hostages, reminding Israel in no uncertain terms that the Netherlands does not accept human rights violations against anyone but Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iranians, etc. etc.

Dear Democrats: get on the data center issue asap. The American people are already there. They don’t want their communities polluted so Zuckerberg can power an ai chatbot that convinces their kids to commit suicide.

NEW: Bungie is planning a significant layoff following the end of Destiny 2's development. Destiny 3 is NOT in active production. Some Bungie staff are pitching and prototyping new ideas including Destiny games, but none are yet greenlit. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

first they came for the credit scores

Nothing any defense analyst hasn’t known for decades, but they were ignored because Trump’s regime is full of violent sociopaths.

how is AOC the only Democrat doing righteous and non-insane demagoguery on an issue that polls like 80-20

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

Todd Blanche should be disbarred for any number of things, frankly. It's a long list.

Every cop's story should have the level of scrutiny this one got. Every US cop (local, state, or federal) is a goddamn liar and a part of the largest organized crime syndicate in the world.

@marzgurl.com, were you still playing FF11? I was considering picking it back up, but nobody I know plays it. 😅

Because Israel is the US’ regional attack dog, the US will defend it viciously, and every country capable of intervening knows that.

To be clear: I also want to be divided from Nazis and white supremacists. As much as I want and advocate for leftist/progressive stances, they do not change the white supremacist foundation of this country. “A white supremacist will shit their pants if they can make a Black person smell it.”

Massachusetts because it was Catholic and PA because it was Quaker.

It’s not ridiculous, it’s calculated white supremacist policy. The goal is to debank people by making it physically dangerous to have a bank account. Media treating these Nazis as though they’re ALWAYS incompetent and not flagrantly evil needs to stop.

The US is about to pull another Venezuela with Cuba by engaging in military strikes and kidnapping Raul Castro. There's a substantial likelihood that it could collapse the Cuban state and turn into a civil war with a refugee crisis in the hundreds of thousands fleeing by boat to Florida.

Barney Frank was a Zionist and a transphobe, just in case you needed a reminder.

the truth laying beneath both of these reasons is that taxing the rich is a matter of self-preservation

Hunter X Hunter fan: So I've been reading Men comics.

In the case of Ms. Barrett's quote, the AI quite literally wore her name and credibility like a skinsuit while lying about actual science in order to fit the requests of a prompter. And that's all Mr. Rosenbaum is now. Not an author, a prompter.

See, here’s the thing. It’s not a trap. A trap would imply that Democrats have any fucking inclination to do anything useful in the face of fascists and we know that it’s just not historically true. Liberalism always bow to fascists.

A politics of white reconciliation built on a basis of anti-Blackness

And this is why liberals always lose to fascists. They're so busy trying to preserve institutions that they never look up to see that the barbarians are at the gate and already set fire to those very institutions. You either fight these bastards or they will never stop.

most non-cybertruck 4x4 failures are people getting into situations they could've handled but don't, due to arrogance and lack of experience most Cybertruck failures are people trying to do things no vehicle can safely do, because they believe their car is magic

You do not need to hand it to fascist sycophants when they fall out of favor with their god king.

white supremacists don't even get called white supremacists anymore Jesus fucking Christ

Cool. How do they intend to enforce that? Trump doesn’t care and thinks he owns everything by fiat and his regime enables him in that. (See him looting the treasury for billions of dollars.)

No judge has approved this. No law has ratified this. It's just a pinky swear and a publicity stunt. It can be easily overturned. It's blatantly corrupt, but also functionally useless. It's not like it wasn't already Trump Administration policy when he took office again.

No, you have to jail them and actually punish these lost cause confederate nazis. Every liberal in American history thinks you can just memory hole this shit and that's just not how it works. People are dead, kidnapped, sold into foreign slave labor camps. Regime members need to hang for this.

Jesus, this is insane. Alex is great.

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton. NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena. Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

access to safe abortions and sexual education/contraception allows women to end unwanted/unsafe pregnancies so they can have kids when they're ready/can afford to/so they don't die in childbirth/from lack of abortion care. closing the income inequality gap allows them to afford raising kids. bye.

this is obviously stupid but also "i should not have to see a black person in a position of power or influence" is a guiding belief of the trump administration

We will never be free while the democratic party exists. We deserve real opposition to fascism

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With JD Vance https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-jd-vance/

Also if your "comfort" fiction is a set of racist wizard books that are obsessed with hating fat people and defending chattel slavery, you may just be the kind of creep who doesn't care that a deranged billionaire's trying to genocide trans people.

BREAKING: Senators Rick Scott and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a bill that would permanently ban former lawmakers from doing any form of lobbying. The bill would impose potential jail time and heavy fines for violators.

Revolution would be pretty rad tho, ngl.

If the data center is taking power for 50,000 people, then it seems like there's a simple, very flammable solution.

These kids would have crucified Kurosawa.

The premise of everyone being equal under the law was the best defense the wealthy elite ever had against violence, and the current crop of failsons are too fucking bone stupid to understand that.
