The garbage to which the State Department would like people in other countries to have access includes hate speech and terrorist propaganda. What they should be doing is finding ways to curb it in the U.S. and not trying to feed it to other countries. Musk has to be at the center of this.

And your fat and gay friends watch you do it and mark you as someone who thinks being fat or gay is a negative characteristic and you're just politely not mocking them for it because you like them enough to issue them the hall pass.

"People ask if I feel vindicated. It’s an evil question. I wanted justice, not approval. No one needed to vindicate me. I knew I was right: I wanted the world to make me wrong." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/shipwreck-...

WTF -- I don't even know what to say about this. Anti-trans legislation is absolutely unnecessary, and an incredibly cruel way to target a tiny minority of already vulnerable people. WTF is wrong with these legislators?

This is so fucked up. What are we even doing here!? This man belongs at home with his family, or perhaps on the luxury yacht he could buy with compensation he's owed for decades of wrongful imprisonment.

"We're stuck with a president who daily models behavior that we don't accept in our schools and workplaces. Yet the malefactor in chief faces no consequences," writes Los Angeles Times columnist @jackiecalmes.bsky.social.

Fat bear living its best life, 10/10

If nothing else, I really hope the last decade has put to rest the myth that the right wing cares one iota about the Constitution.

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

That's my representative! Good work, keep it up

Anyway if you're never gonna own a house, go get some nice juice, you deserve at least SOMETHING decent in this shittastic world.

Hell yeah. All of this. (Glad I got the Ring that the previous owners had installed removed)

Generations of conservatives have replaced the maxim "Regulations are written in blood" with "Regulations are written by female-coded busybodies who want attention."

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

Absolutely, 100%

You cannot do "commonsense reform" for a secret police force that's declared itself exempt from constitutional requirements. You cannot reform ultraviolent agencies that have been corrupt for decades and now have accountability only to the president's goons and lackeys.

"I've always known him to be a good person" should always be met with:

Good thread

Hilarious all the way through, but the last line about killed me. I cackled so hard, my cat jumped off the bed.

Insert *Sickos: yes, hahaha yes* meme here

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

I'd be a big fan of this TV show

Makes me laugh out loud every time.

We’re owed a few evil people deaths asap. Like 10-12 for Catherine O’Hara alone. Come on fascist scumbags, get to croaking.

Patriarchal systems fucking us over in every conceivable way.

Ugh, seriously? Catherine O'Hara? I might have to spend the whole weekend crying while rewatching Schitt's Creek for the 6th time. RIP, and fuck this stupid timeline

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?

TOMORROW, Seattle! If you can attend this town hall at 4:30pm Monday 1/26, please do! This will be a chance for folks to discuss Seattle's response to federal threats/ICE, including the city's surveillance apparatus. I'm hearing there will be a listening component.

When she says “our country” she means the Confederacy and “law enforcement” she means slave catchers.

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Man, everywhere you look lawyers are still flinging themselves into fights. I know some people will disagree about the usefulness of taking shit to court but I think it's important that we're still doing that. We're still behaving as if the law has meaning.

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Cause brother it aint “passed” for generations. Its just gotten worse and will continue to do so until whiteness finally stands up takes itself out of the equation. Our president isnt the cause. Hes just the best most concentrated representation of rot at the moment. The rot is all around you

If you’re safe right now these are great ways to support those who aren’t.

I was not put on this earth to suffer for a man.

The agent who answered questions about working for ICE: "Some people are subject to due process" Mfr, *everyone* within US borders is subject to due process - the 5th and 14th say "no person", not "no citizen" or "no permanent resident". Due process is worthless if it's not for everyone. Fuck ICE.

Kristi Noem must be impeached.

i hate these motherfuckers so much, lol

Once again, fuck everyone who voted for the orange menace, and also everyone who said I was overreacting when he won in 2016. None of this had to happen.

*exhausted sigh* Evergreen post, unfortunately

The collective delusion here is useful in that it has provoked conservatives to dispense with decades of bootstrap rhetoric and reveal what they would say if they thought black people were people, that is to say, if these things were happening to them

It's just so fashionable right now

This whole thing is just too much 😱 1. Fox faux fucking news is the first to question the wild 500% cost reduction claims he keeps throwing around? Didn't see that one coming 2. What in the New Math is this defence of the wild 500% cost reduction claims - I do not recognize the calculation method

Alt text This is genuinely incredibly fucking stupid. Come the fuck on, can we just not, why is this even a thing, non-stop screaming, etc

Those outside of cars have to justify their presence in the public realm all the time, but never is it "what was a car doing there?" We have to be constantly vigilante, lest we seem irresponsible and thus deserving of an early death

And people still ask why we say cops have no place at Pride

"The full Ballard Link Extension project would build a second tunnel under Downtown Seattle . . . . The study underway now considers whether the line can operate without that redundant infrastructure.” Mfr, no one tries to argue that one more car lane "redundant infrastructure", this is bullshit

The way they were building up to Egwene's Amyrlin arc starting from season 1! I know it would have been epic. It could still be epic! It's probably not too late to get the cast and crew back together.

This artwork is so cool
