I am for a big tent, I just don’t think people who have been wrong about everything that led us to this point should be in charge of deciding who is in it and on what terms.

2 things can both be true: 1) Broad opposition is necessary to defeat fascism (opposition to the nazis included former nazis) and 2) Former fascists cannot drive or lead the broad opposition to fascism

Sky’s experience with this NYT douchebag reinforces one of my “scare the hoes” opinion about journalism training/education: Like most other professional schools (think Medicine, Law, Social Work, etc.) journalism should be taught at the graduate level only.

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

This is a bit, right?

Americans, people famously just fine with being told “you can’t do that”

As an over 40…more times than I care to admit. +looking for my phone while I’m talking to someone in it.

Gonna need a @dieworkwear.bsky.social analysis of this whole situation.

Sometimes it’s who you most expect

not the number one winner, but extremely acceptable order. win

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

I wonder how not paying the goons is gonna work for regime consolidation?

For real. As an internet user since the early 90s I miss the days when you’d find niche sites/fora devoted to, like old films or Japanese games that weren’t localized or networking or whatever. Just people doing what they were interested in and being like “Welcome to my weird little world!”

My fellow Jews: protect your heart and don’t read the replies to this post. My fellow allies: read all of these replies, internalize the antisemitism problem on the left, and start gathering your thoughts about how you will fight this vile rhetoric.

Abolish the org, prosecute anyone in a position of leadership, make the personnel records public and searchable.

Black people did. Mostly because our history is rife with examples of racists choosing to destroy themselves and what they’ve built in order that a Black person not have access to it. This country elected a Black man as president and a Black woman as VP so it had to be destroyed.

bring back bullying

There is not an increase in autism. There is increased accuracy in labeling. The old labels at school were Problem Kid, Weirdo, Troublemaker, Space Cadet, Know-it-All, Wallflower, Loner, and sometimes the "R" word. I don't really want to go back to that era, and you shouldn't either.

That’s INSANE.

He always wanted to be accepted by the Manhattan high-society types, but the only thing he’ll ever be is a low-rent, Outer Borough thug.

voting is a fucking sacred duty and the fact that people don't treat it with the respect that it deserves is telling. you are not "selecting" an electoral product on the market - you are engaging in a form of mobilization and deciding what your values are

I think this is an outgrowth of the idea that too many 🇺🇸 socialists have that every (white) working class conservative is a secret socialist and that if we can somehow mouth just the right words and/or enact just the right policies they’ll somehow see the light.

It's just really sad how many grown ass men idolize dudes like Charlie Kirk. Like, where are yall dads at?

all of the male pundits, talking heads, and politics watchers denouncing that one Harris ad that said "you don't have to tell your husband how you vote" was a massive hit dogs hollering moment

We had 4yrs to prepare for what we're seeing and most people were more concerned about building their social media following and talking shit on their discord servers while screaming "we need a revolution 💅🏼"

“The Aristocrats!”

It would be so beautifully American if dozens of significant abuses of power garnered barely a shrug from the public, and then the whole thing collapses because late night television was the real third rail

Remembering how Jon Stewart spent all of last year telling me that he’d grown more nuanced and wise after his retirement and that Trump v Dems wasn’t as black and white as people claimed. What a ridiculous fuckwad he turned out to be.

This is not to defend our current for-profit health insurance system (which is generally terrible), but reading this I suddenly had the thought that if we had managed to get Medicare for all, it would currently be under the control of RFK Jr., and I don’t know what to do with that info.

FUCK YEAH 🤟

Look at this fucking nerd. No way I’d wear something that made you look like such a fucking tool.

I wish Charlie Kirk never died so that I wouldn't have to hear about his loser ass every single fucking day

Everything really *is* gender, except class and race, which are also gender.

they don't want pussy. they want to endlessly critique pussy

This right here is why so many black folks don't trust white leftists.He spent his short life dehumanizing black folks and helping install the most racist, degenerate POTUS of my lifetime and yet there are so many white leftist/ liberal tears being shed and PoC are chastised for a "lack of empathy"

idgaf who’s in the files. Let ’em fly and we’ll see what’s what and who’s who. Anyone in there gets thrown to the wolves regardless.

one of my superpowers is that I can remember which side of the liberal-left divide was most concerned with the Supreme Court in 2016.

Drop an old person you’re going to turn into in the future

Trump was desperate to stay out of prison, so he made devil's bargains with the worst people, installed them in high level positions and because of that, many people will lose their freedom or die. That is the story of this Presidency.

(mf doom voice) he threw a sandwich cheese and salami, feds couldn't indict folded like origami, afraid of subway both the chain and the train, mayo salt and pepper shake your thang, grand jury shut em down twice, coca cola on the side no ice

This is essentially Christianity without God. “Paradise awaits you after this one weird trick.”
