My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death. That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,

So I don’t want a bathtub. Men literally refuse to accept this. So now my part time job is arguing with those men about building me what I want versus what they think I should want.

The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights. I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

I know this is hijacking a fun post with a serious point, but: the Feast of the Flight into Egypt is a commemoration of the fact that Jesus and his parents fled to Egypt as refugees, which should be more often remembered, particularly by those who say they want to defend the West’s Christian values.

Every time I see someone yammering about abolish ICE / policing and how DEEPLY UNPOPULAR it is, I want to remind them that the GOP abolished Roe v. Wade and that was also deeply, deeply unpopular, and here they are, in charge of everything still.

How many years after Trump lied through the oath of office (the second time) are these Bidenomics gonna last?

Re: last repost, I am once again reminding everyone that you don’t need a “good enough” reason to block, you just need the mildest of annoyance with bad timing. Account acting obtuse: block! Account annoying when the coffee’s not hitting: block!

also sincerely: you as an individual may not think meat is delicious. That is your right But humans as a species: love meat. And I'm saying this neutrally. When given access to meat humans *as a species* absent cultural prohibitions, will eat a lot of it

in the notes is something about “neo-natal care” and yeah we don’t have that too but COME on we had a whole chat about the medical needs of pregnant people, with someone who recently fit that description participating and it turned into “medical care for babies” in the notes I am the Joker

Saw a post on fbook “at least a bear wouldn’t call me a fucking bitch after it kills me” 🤷‍♀️

Is THIS enough to get y’all non-Californians to believe us that he’d be a shitty president?

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

stepped outside for a vibe check and saw a beast fuckin hauling ass towards Bethlehem

Fucking pussies wouldn't last 10 minutes as a middle school teacher.

the DSA, the Federal Reserve, and the ladies who lunch have formed a popular front — it remains only to see if any elected Democrats will join them.

Note to self: you got groceries, scrubbed all three litter boxes, folded four and a half loads of laundry, and made a vat of layered dip, you did TOO get stuff done today

Oh no, I’m going to have to have 6 layer dip for dinner at least one more night this week What a difficult life i do lead

Sometimes you just gotta make a vat of 6 layer* dip for dinner *from the bottom: beans, guac, sour cream, pico, olives, cheese

Hey we heard you have executive dysfunction so we created a giant bureaucratic maze and we're gonna put your executive dysfunction meds at the end of it. maybe.

There are absolutely zero useful, functional robots here. there is one that can "wave to people at a museum" and "talk to you" (in extremely narrow situations) and there are industrial ones I guess but there is no "robot revolution" and to report otherwise is misleading to the general public.

A brawl has broken out in the Hershey Bears intermission game

This is hardly the most important thing but I notice that many in the mainstream are erasing Good’s wife in favor of her ex-husband and many queers are assuming that having a wife when she died means she was a lesbian and like can we for once remember there are more than two options

The fan behind me said “pass it to SOMEBODY, yeah?” and there’s literally no better summation of like the last five years of Sharks hockey.

Also the most insulting thing about perimenopause so far is that if I’m in a full Reynaud’s flare and i get a hot flash, my fingers and toes STAY COLD

You might *think* that a hockey arena would at least be a *better* place for hot flashes, but you would, it turns out, be wrong

Analysis | Joe Biden would not have invaded NATO allies, cut off child welfare, or sent armed forces to kill Americans. But he would have given very few press conferences and spoken in a halting voice. The voters got it right.

Being able to just pop downstairs for my Claritin and a rotisserie chicken while bypassing the parking lot entirely: literal heaven

Tfw you have a fucking hot flash to end all hot flashes sitting at the symphony with no clothes you can take off

ICE taken down by black ice does have a certain poetry to it

/12 If you think it is obvious that the videos prove murder and nobody can say otherwise, your view is based on how you want the system to be, not how it is. It will be brutally hard, fighting inch by inch against what America is, to convict Jonathan Ross. Your feelings don’t enter into it.

baby beluga swam so wild and swam so free that now he’s leading a liberation army. he grew up and he has a rocket launcher now.

If the driver hit someone while using their phone they would be charged with a crime. Why should someone be allowed to operate a gun while using their phone?

Similarly, I’m trying to make “Kennedy outbreak” happen — an outbreak of a preventable disease due to vaccine disinformation or obstruction. Cc @jessesword.com

Friends, if your granddad insists on continuing to do woodworking, get y’all family together if you have to and replace his vintage table saw with a SawStop

So when we get the corrected numbers in two months this means <10k, right?

So Elon switched X from producing CSAM to producing *and selling* it, got it

but that’s why the worst person you know loves the crusades. because it lets them perceive doing violence to people they disagree with or are different from them as a sinless, even purifying act

Excommunicate him Leo, please excommunicate him it'd be SO funny I need this Leo I'll even start going back to church if you publicly excommunicate him.
