DC statehood yesterday

i think it is actually totally fine if urban areas with their higher density populations and higher levels of education have a proportionally greater say in national politics than less-dense and less-educated rural areas

lmao, i talk to my retired, white, oil and gas career father in oklahoma who is in his 70s every few weeks, and every time, his verbal fedposting about republicans gets more explicit and violent, and, like, he counts a local LEO executive as a personal friend

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–" yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

As part of the restoration of the rule of law, every lawyer in the Trump admin who touched this file needs to go to jail. Sanctions and disbarment are what you do for private abuses of the legal system. Abusing the government power of criminal indictment is another matter, and they keep doing it.

Quote post with an old piece you still really like! I just like her vibe

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

I hate this man with every fiber of my being.

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

Mark, this is GOOD NEWS

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

its absolutely incredible watching people not realize the stakes watching DOJ being weaponized against SPLC and not realizing that its basically an existential fight for the republic now

the vibe codes have stolen all the pictures

Society if the stock market was shut down and outlawed after the 1929 crash

God what a rag. And on Substack no less. We give up the for-profit insurance industry as it exists, that's what we give up you fucking dingus, you dipshit of dipshits, you utter tumor.

They're saying it's the most unbiased poll question ever. echeloninsights.com/insights/apr...

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it. It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum. Make sure to vote YES. You can find your polling location at IWillVote.com/VA.

Azora's true form 😩

I really, truly do not think that this is the takeaway. Like, I'm sure that there are some voters who didn't vote for that reason, but I'm begging people to please stop attributing literally everything about her loss to her identity.

I think what the MCU fails to get about Thor is that serious Thor is the funniest Thor. Nothing is funnier than Thor being played completely straight as a being of infinite majesty and power being sued for defamation by Howard the Duck and represented by She-Hulk.

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

You gotta give to the GOP. They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

I have negative patience for "it's not fair" what is fair about the nearly impenetrable supermajorities republicans built in the NC or WI state legislatures and their current president thinks it is illegal for him to lose elections fuck outta here

The reason democrats lose is because they won't pay attention to people who didn't vote for them. Literally the first rule of politics is to convince people to vote for you!

The Jerusalem Cross is a symbol of the Crusades. Disingenuous people argue it’s “just a representation of Christianity and not bigoted” But we all fucking know the Crusades was about massacring anyone that wasn’t Christian. Pete Hegseth has a HUGE one tattooed on his chest It’s a symbol of hate.

my angry post about this case this morning is now an angry article Roy Anthony Scott was in a mental health crisis and called 911 asking for help Cops came and killed him, & now the Court is casting doubt on whether the cops can be held accountable for his death ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/smith...

We did that. We asked Kamala to fund healthcare for trans people and stop genociding us and Palestinians. She said no, so the 3.5 million trans people in the USA and all the Palestinian Americans explicitly had no representation. She chose not getting our votes. Blame her. Not us.

Also, to be clear, Kamala threatened us. She effectively told us we deserve to die by way of how she told us she would continue to fund the genocide of Palestinians and would allow Republicans to continue to genocide trans people. Us responding with "I'm not gonna vote for you" is self-defense.

What’s your favorite desert and why is it Frost-ed

Paging @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social now that he has lost an excuse for betraying trans New Yorkers

I present to you my newest OC 😩 The forth zora sister: Azora 😈 She has no nickname unlike the other three, but no one would be close enough to her to call her by a nickname anyway 💅

nighttime roommate activity. Final of the last YCH batch. New YCH is up in the discord, anyone can participate!

1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work" I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.

i strongly believe that every single major corporation is engaged in some level of coordinated price fixing or informal agreements against competition there simply does not exist any strong incentive not to

In the Chicago protesters criminal case: 1. Defendants' request grand jury transcripts on April 8. 2. Order on April 9 that DOJ has until April 20 to respond or submit relevant docs for court's review by April 20. 3. On April 20, DOJ asks for an extension until April 23.

I was going to keep this as a tiny surprise later but thought it fun to share more Nidhogg bits ✨ Doodle on the right is her everyday attire. All Stategoi wear armor pieces that symbolize their status as Monoliths #ximuchi

like maybe the public would be getting less frothy and toothy about this if big tech hadn’t spent the last three years constantly threatening the public with impoverishment and feudal control, idk
