Traveling home after a Christmas week with Family. Won't get home for 12 hours, but as lovely as the visit was, I'm very much looking forward to my own bed. And then a few days to decompress. My parents have no streaming services and don't watch TV, so I have a LOT to catch up on!

I'm giving that same kind of side-eye to anyone that isn't dropping her like a hot potato and canceling her thorough, especially my peeps in the LGBTQ+ community. She's dead to me. No coming back from this. Ever.

A great little essay about the importance of shows like "Hidden Rivalry", from someone who lived it.

RIP Brigitte Bardot, iconic actress of the 1960s, fierce defender of animal rights, racist, and convicted five times for inciting racial hatred.

There are a LOT of people in this country that need to wake up and realize some things...

2025 was a very hard year for a whole lot of people. I wish and hope that 2026 brings something new and wonderful for everyone, no matter how dark it may look now.

This isn't just a metaphor for AI and techbro culture - it perfectly encapsulates the U.S. in 2025. So many self-inflicted kicks to the balls.

"Some things simply can’t be undone. The United States will likely never recover the full trust of our allies in Europe and Asia, who now know that another Trump is always at most four years away. Confidence in the rule of law in this country will remain shaken for generations."

It’s bcuz her ideas/policies are exactly the things they’ve been bitching that they’ve wanted all these yrs and she knows exactly how to implement them but unfortunately they want their new leader to be a straight WM because like their dipshit Maple Jesus they’re scared of women in position of power

now i'm not an expert but i'd say that seems bad

Our President Is Economically Illiterate www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/o... In case you didn't know...

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. He is objectively pro-crime. The Trump administration is a criminal organization. He is turning the U.S. into a mafia state.

I go out for one day & there are a hundred white people camped out in the comments, crying & calling the manager. Fucking Embarrassing!!

You know what I keep thinking about??? Vance’s statement telling ppl to they can stop apologizing for being white But here is why I keep thinking about it! Some of y’all think that sounds crazy but he says it bc deep down that’s exactly what WHITE GENTILES across the ENTIRE political spectrum 1/

Including many in our crowds… that is what many of such folk across the entire length of the political spectrum think they are expected to do! 2/

“The alt left doesn’t regard Civil Rights as progressive. They don’t respect Civil Rights organizations.” PRECISELY. Their entire concept of “progressivism” has to do with economics, particularly moving wealth to *other white men.* “Progressive” has nothing to do with human or civil rights.

And its wild because during the 2020 Democratic primaries Bernie's speech writer claimed Joe Biden choosing the public option over Medicare For All was the equivalent of committing multiple 9/11s.

Bernie literally voted to kill children last week, and no leftist has said a damn thing about it. bsky.app/profile/adam...

I'm giving my vote to ANY Democrat that is running against a republican. From President, mayor, school board to dog catcher. They don't have to ask me and I don't even have to like them. I'm a single issue voter, vote more Democrats in & get republicans out.

Leftist, saying the quiet part out loud.

I feel like the Heritage American moment is my time (as someone who would be included in the ridiculous definition) to stand up and tell the folks pushing it that anyone pushing ‘Heritage Americans’ is almost certainly racist trash who should STFU.

Hundreds of residents signed up for FEMA buyouts after Hurricane Helene. Not one has been approved.

Let's have a discussion about "not all", since some of you clearly need to hear it. One of the most common tactics of white supremacist narrative control, it serves to shift discussion from the harm caused by white supremacy to the aggrieved feelings of the white person. 1/

Can confirm:

LOL Matt Taibbi hasn't once mentioned Bari Weiss turning CBS into Trump TV and killing the 60 Minutes story

Iowa-based journalist Laura Belin compares Bari Weiss' adventures at CBS to Putin's makeover of supposedly independent Russian media, which she covered for RFE-RL twenty years ago. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/12/25/o...

This message hits hard.

She also has money because for months a supposedly impartial journalist hyped her campaign without being honest enough to ever say “by the way, this is my girlfriend & she’s running for Congress in Illinois, where she’s never voted, because she moved here when I got a job in Chicago”

Systemic racism will not be undone by the ego soothing behaviors of white people and my saltine siblings, you really need to do better if you give a fuck about what's happening in the world right now. Realize you may have learned something fundamentally WRONG. 5/

Anyone know why this old tweet is getting so much attention? Did something new happen today?

We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.

This is your friendly reminder that most people (regardless of their general political position) do not know, nor do they care about, the differences between leftist, liberal, and progressive.

I’ll believe you care about Citizens United when you acknowledge the reason it exists being because of a desire to attack Hillary Clinton. Hell, I’ll believe you care when you know what it does or start asking who the donors to groups like Our Revolution are instead of just a few Jewish groups.

why do these horrific trolls work so hard to make people's lives so much harder.....just leave them the fuck alone

Germany doesn’t have single payer. France doesn’t have single payer. The Netherlands don’t have single payer. Austria doesn’t have single payer. They DO have UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, though. So quit lying in your M4A psychosis.

White Americans will never see the danger. Ever. Inherently and on varying levels, it's ingrained. It has to be recognized and unlearned.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from detaining or deporting Imran Ahmed, a British researcher who counters online hate and misinformation. (PBS)

NYT doesn’t get it. He’s terrorizing nonwhite people, seizing imperial power, perverting the government, and spewing hateful lies. This is pro-Trump gaslighting.

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

I realized pretty quickly back in 2009/10 that leftists had no idea in diff. between single payer, universal healthcare, Medicare and Medicaid. Saint Bernard told them something was so and therefore, it MUST be so.

I haven’t looked into the person who is primarying Rep. Lauren Underwood at all because I already know they are unqualified for public office if they think it’s a good idea to waste the time & resources/risk the reelection of one of the best Democratic representatives we have. Good donate link:

Idk why so many clown ass “I’m only gonna vote if Democrats do XYZ & ignore basic civics” dummies keep following me. I don’t know how else to explain how little respect I have for the whiny doomerism, willful ignorance, & outright stupidity that goes along with the lack of critical thinking.
