This is one reason I'm expecting intense natural selection in forms of government and cultural norms returning to the fore. If you don't have a society that's at least reasonably inclusive towards migrants, children, and parents, your country is gonna literally fucking die.

I mean, aqueducts existed

Goebbels, wiping his brow: "we seem to have a bit of a Nazi problem in this Nazi Party I've made"

This is the one and only question St. Peter proffers before the Gates, and the one and only correct answer is this:

The Epstein Files are turning into what the Panama Papers should have been.

Linus Torvalds being unfathomably based

Isn't it interesting how "term X is untranslatable" only applies to non-English languages? I suggest we start pushing back on this bullshit by promoting the idea that "the blues" is a term with no linguistic equivalent in any other tongue. Only American English speakers actually understand it

OH WELL WHY NOT

just the raw derth of any semblence of civic virtue in the most important information gatekeepers in our system is really breath-taking

Why does Trump need to support the House vote to release the Epstein files? Can't he just order their release himself?

Proud to identify as a New Mexican (in more ways than one)

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

Did the brainworm write this

“I’ll fight until hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on”

China 700 years ago and also now:

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

So: 1) Absolutely an all-time stupid Jacobin post (and that's saying something) but 2) This was written by Eugene Debs in, like, 1919 but 3) It is wrong - feudal lords absolutely did go to war, personally and frequently (though armored, on horseback, with retainers, less likely to end up dead).

“This can’t continue” yes it can “This can’t get worse” yes it can “This can’t be fixed” yes it can

I will never vote for a party that gleefully attacks the vulnerable like this Labour government has attacked: • refugees • trans people • disabled people • children in poverty Even if they claim some bogeyman wants to do it too. There’s no point in Fascism Lite™.

And here is the strongest peacemaker

We are entering a phase when it will be very important to not hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

Wait. Why would Marjorie Taylor Greene calling to release the Epstein files be a betrayal to Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party?

It's March Day, everyone.

the reason it's different this time isn't even the particulars of the upcoming collapse (wow stumbling into a fucking stupid war and going all in, innovative!), it's that this time we don't have a zillion Russian mothers making more babies than will die and the permafrost is melting

Suck a dude's dick LIKE A BOSS Sharing apropos of absolutely zero recent political news

This looks nice, and is nice, but it's not going to mean anything until the approval within the GOP dips below 50%. Trump never has been playing for a national audience.

The firelinking curse, the legacy of lords...let it all fade to nothing.

Fascism relies on cognitive authoritarianism wrapped in whatever normalizing marketing is necessary. But the essential message is always to dehumanize and destroy compassion before the upcoming killing. bsky.app/profile/jona...

My dad, who has a degree in classics, insists on pointing out to White Statue Enthusiasts that every proper Roman household should have a fascinus (lucky dildo sculpture) that you rub for luck.

So cute!!! I love it!! Thank you for drawing Uni 😭

In the struggle against authoritarianism, the pro-democracy opposition needs ruthlessly strategic leadership. Chuck Schumer ain’t it. It’s time for him to resign. We don’t have time for more Schumer Surrenders.

Bari Weiss is Tulsi Gabbard with a byline. With distortions, half truths and lies, she is the Vichy voice who fancies herself speaking Truth to Power, when she truly is just someone speaking to a fascist exactly the lies he wants to hear.

the key difference between America and China that i'm pointing out here is that you're posting a publicly available press release from the *American* Civil Liberties Union criticizing the United States' incarceration policies

"We would not die in that man's company who fears his fellowship to die with us."

The subtext here is that they prefer to cave rather than threaten the filibuster
