A big part of why I left the right wing I was born in was because of my alumni. I took classes on Latin America, gender, civil rights and more that gave me much more rigorous factual ways of looking at the world than my southern baptist high school You can see why they want to destroy that.

O Come O Come Emmanuel (bonus points if it's a choir version) and probably White Winter Hymnal by the Fleet Foxes or Last Christmas by WHAM!

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

We calmly critique their religious propaganda and they get to snidely mock us as mentally ill men. Why do we bother pretending to be nice? Don't you just want to go apeshit and stop coddling these stupid Christian fascists?

Apparently two Milwaukee road skytop lounges were put onto a carfloat as part of a restaurant concept someone did. It (predictably) went out of business, the boat being scrapped, and the cars chopped in half. The bodies are are at a museum in Minnesota.

the pilot G2 is not a good pen, you're just sheltered.

AR15com was a huge part of my fathers worsening radicalization. Place is evil

This is so fascinating the way it shows their weakness. Silicon Valley no longer feels confident in their capacity to handle reality. They have to create sycophantic media to serve them, because exposure is risky. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

People who treat their ignorance on firearms as a virtue in discussions on gun control genuinely infuriate me.. If you don't know basic facts of what you're talking about, why should we listen to you? If you brag about your foolishness what do you add?

This + the rejected gerrymander fascinates me. It seems that the Indiana Republican Party has recognized that the midterms are very soon and Trump is an anchor

The Battle of Waterloo, 1815. Wait a minute, why are they wearing equipment from 101 years later? Something to look out for when admiring manuscripts from the middle ages is that they often depict events from history with the arms and armour of the current day (Pretend I painted this in 1916 lol)

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

when you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health

Struggling not to explode ATM because I made dinner to serve at 6 and literally NO ONE HAS TOUCHED IT AT 6:30. (First Thanksgiving hosting, moderately insane)

What we do with that is our choice. To believe which pronouns we refer to someone by, what they wear, or which changing room we ask they use is dictated by biology is itself a kind of superstition - it pretends our choices are written in the laws of nature, when really they are in our hands

The irony here is that this reveals you don’t actually know what a man or a woman is. You (I presume) believe biology just hands us the social categories of ‘man’ and ‘woman’. But all biology gives us is anatomy and endocrinology.

Also, I think it’s bad that the Governor of West Virginia jumped the gun and said the Guardsmen were dead before actually verifying it. Our media environment is so unbelievably fucked man.

I would pay good money for a Christmas Carol comic with the Three Storms as Jack Burton's Christmas Past, Present, and Future

HBO Miniseries like Band of Brothers focusing on the Battle of Midway, heavily using Japanese sources. The scale of heroism and tragedy just on Kaga would make the show alone, not counting the 6 other carriers present on the first day.

how many of y'all know that Starbucks is on strike

Me when I want to destroy my apolitical reputation for NOTHING.

BREAKING: The Pentagon says it's investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for possible military law violations after he joined a video urging U.S. troops to refuse "illegal orders."

Because "the President's unilateral war crimes and illegal conflict agency" is what it is now Tbh what we really need (and will never happen because it'd require natsec dems on the Hill to have a spine) is a Church Committee for SOCOM generally and JSOC specifically

what I think the DSA generally gets wrong is that the Democratic Party should be more than just something we are officially part of but don’t actually care about but that democratic socialists can and should become a powerful faction with actual influence within it

Time to have a different picture of me on everything lol

There’s certainly a lot of evidence that a new Democratic Party is taking shape while the old one struggles to hold on.

reminder: if your public transportation system is incapable of running on time it is incapable of meeting most people's needs

remembrance only matters if we learn from it- -and right now we are being legislated into a corner that will result in far more of us being merely "remembered" we don't need remembrance, we need solidarity NOW.

predatory men are an enormous tax on women’s productivity (and happiness)

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

Fight don’t fold.

AOC the crown is waiting for you. All you have to do is pick it up

God, I hate the Democratic Party

I think some of you don't know what neoliberalism is

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

You can get from me, a 25 year old nobody from Eastern Kentucky, to Richard Nixon in like, 4 handshakes

The simple fact of the matter is judges cannot have "sincerely held religious beliefs" in their duties because they are AGENTS OF THE STATE. If you cannot accept that you cannot preform your duties and should be removed. Period. This is true for jews, Christians, muslims, or satanists.

It's genuinely kinda cool that the US has a pretty extensive history at this point of electing disabled people to government on both sides of the aisle. It's a genuine great thing

the British government not investigating/charging Elon for this highly inflammatory language is a basic failure of legitimacy

Hello Border Patrol blackhawk with its transponder turned off. We don't want you in Chicago you fuck

tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . And then one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

The more evidence mounts that Platner is lying, the more convinced I become that he is lying not only about his past but also about his current views.

'the Democratic Party should be less dominated by out-of-touch gerontocrats' is a principle that also applies to Bernie Sanders, 84.

You guys, the person exercising the powers of the presidency is constitutionally disqualified from holding the office and he’s having the White House bulldozed. This is true and it’s happening, right? I’m not dreaming this?

Your usual reminder that the "War on Drugs" has been running for over half a century, has cost directly over a trillion dollars, and as a result illegal narcotics are more easily available in the USA and every other major economy than they ever were before.

There are no kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.

The entire confederate south should’ve been dissolved into federal territory with states later redrawn and entered into the union after a second constitutional congress to remove all the slavery concessions within it
