It's almost as if Centrists are the problem. It's almost as if MLK himself, sitting in Birmingham Jail, wrote a whole letter about how the biggest roadblock to progress and equality are Centrists and Centrism. The road to Jim Crow was paved with Centrism. Centrism is never the answer to injustice.

THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WAS THE COMPROMISE

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness.

This is who the real Jewish community is‼️

Terry Pratchett was also very angry about a lot of things which is why Discworld is all haha puns and funny jokes over an ironclad sense of social justice and rage at inequality of all kinds

Still believe wealth reflects contributions to society? Or some fucked up hierarchy of human worth?

They finna give the guy who owns these companies a trillion dollars

The existence of a billionaire is a sign of a corrupt culture. Musk is now represents more than 1000 billionaires.

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com

Hips don’t lie.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Take responsibility for your own failed campaigns and supposed political stances. If you can’t stand up for human rights, you’re simply a waste of space. That’s why people won’t vote for you.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Mamdani in his victory speech calling out Ethiopian aunties as one of his voter blocs 😭 incredible

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Zohran wins! Full statement here: www.dsausa.org/statements/z...

Sometimes, to paraphrase Terry Pratchett, you hear the voice of the electorate. And it growls

Moderates would fuck it up with polling to determine which pillar is acceptable to Republicans voters.

Remembered this morning that I had heated seats in my car. Remembered this afternoon that heated seats make you want to poop.

So clearly comfortable and an every man

@prisonculture.bsky.social Will there be another New Year’s DJ event this year and can I play too?

Pope Leo XIV, writing in the first major document of his pontificate, has denounced the “dictatorship” of economic inequality while insisting the Catholic Church is committed to supporting “rejected” migrants.

I booked a photo session tonight bc I have very few pictures of my family together, but while I’m smiling & holding my children, I know I will hear this mother’s screams. I don’t want my tax dollars supporting ICE agents dragging parents away from car line. And most moms in the US agree with me.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

BATTLE AWAITS. DO YOUR STRETCHES.

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

NO, YOU DON'T, YOU NEED TO GET ANOTHER DRINK; OCCIDENTAL HAPLOGROUP B4 IS DONE GIVING ORDERS AROUND HERE. THE INFLUENCE OF THE *HAM SANDWICH RACE* IS WANING.

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

When Joint Terrorism Task Forces were first set up, people predicted they could eventually be used by an authoritarian government to go after political enemies. And now they are.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

This is supposedly a stripper clip with the rounds found at the scene of the shooting in Dallas today. It’s like someone is intentionally trying to see what level of dumb shit the American people will accept as truth.

Analyst says Donald Trump is scrambling to consolidate power before the public fully turns on him - buff.ly/phHhXQW

Worse than injecting bleach or sticking lightbulbs up your butt? Or just straight out sacrificing worker’s lives for the economy?

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

Dozens of protesters gathered at Nashville International Airport on Saturday to call for a boycott of Avelo Airlines, criticizing the company’s recent contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out deportation flights READ MORE: bit.ly/3KwuIR7

Every mayoral administration leaves behind successes we can learn from—even if we disagreed with the mayor themselves. Good to talk a little NYC history on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social with @jonathancapehart.bsky.social this morning.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.
