Trump has called for at least three of these senators to be thrown in prison. And they’re still voting for his agenda.

For those keeping track, this makes two recent, draconian pieces of anti-trans legislation — the NDAA's sports ban and now the blanket trans youth care ban — that would not have passed the House without Democratic support.

Fuck the Democratic Party.

Based on this last week of voting, at minimum there are 15 Democratic Senators who have no interest whatsoever in doing everything they can to stop fascism. I'm not posting this to be depressing, but to state the sober reality of how much work is being abdicated to us to fight fascism.

I will never stop mixing up the names of the kata Saifa (砕破, "Rip and Tear") and Sepai (十八手, "Eighteen Hands"), to increasingly deleterious effect in my study of Goju-Ryu

a full naval blockade is basically an act of war, #NoWarOnVenezuela

NYC: Senators Schumer + Gillibrand both voted "yes" on the federal trans athlete ban, in case you need yet another reason to hope they never have a moment's public peace & want to call and wish them (another) happy "get primaried into to the stone age"

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

we live in the most high surveillence state in history, companies like palantir exist to know everything about us, and they still can’t do anything. kind of astounding how often this has happened under trumps 2nd term

If you're wondering how cable news is reporting the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker, here's CNN saying, "This is absolutely normal."

As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

It's so embarrassing Dems still haven't coalesced around M4A, they even had windows to just nationalize major insurers so these people still get to keep their nut.

if I were the type given to conspiracy I would think that AI is the antichrist and the government is occupied by an apocalyptic death cult. Instead I dedicated myself to the immortal science of dialectical materialism and— oh fuck the government is occupied by an apocalyptic death cult.

Toy Story taught me a useful life skill in that if someone comes to your group hangout and their vibes do not fit you all can just go slack and pretend to be lifeless until they fuck off. it's allowed

will never understand why people worship the FBI. They are bad at their jobs!

Trump Sending Mixed Message to Transgender Community: "Does He Want to Outlaw Our Healthcare Or Legalize Our Favorite Cars?"

Looking online for a second dogi and it’s becoming the Creepy/Wet Gym copypasta, but with the question of whether it's a kata or kumite gi

this would like change my life and FUCK DENTISTS TOOTH COPS ACAB GIMME SOME CHEAP AS HELL TOOTH REGEN GEL

The actual lesson to take away from the Marjorie Tayor Greene story is that the idea that the right-wing is somehow operating in perfect unison unlike those dumb infighting lefties is complete bullshit

There was a period where being trans didn't necessarily imply being subjected systematized sexual abuse in the"western liberal order," and the anglosphere will beat that idea out of the body politic.

Swept the board in one meeting. Mamdani is now the face of legitimate government nationwide, the face of the best politics liberals could ever offer, the decline of american zionism, and democratic socialism. Mashallah, absolute total cultural victory. Now, lets see what his city budget looks like.

in one meeting Zohran Mamdani got Donald Trump to sanction in the public discourse: - the republicans and their president are fascists - the legitimacy of New Deal politics - socialism - the US government funds genocide Turns out you can beat a dog at basketball with Islam and Democratic Socialism

the "set up fee" here is enough for multiple years worth of hrt and they don't even include medication. unreal

Feeling reckless, maybe I should call the people at the regional comprehensive gender surgery program about whether they have a second exterior plastic surgeon for vaginoplasties who doesn't hate my guts yet

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

Kinda shows the level of elite capture in this country when the guy with the lowest approval ratings in history is going “hey you fat pig! I’m going to hamburger conference to say fish sandwich! Also not a sex offender!” and the news is just starting to be like huh wonder if this guy is unpopular

No longer having to say "this isn't who we are" is proving to be a huge time saver

NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week. prospect.org/2025/11/14/e...

the idea of changing the law is so dead in america that the idea that something might be banned by statute rather than by arguing that it is already banned (in terms of water use, in terms of copyright) seems completely alien

The idiot pedophiles want you to think workers are incapable of running society themselves

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Hm, why all of the women who work in the media-childrape-finance complex making a case for their inculpability in lockstep? "We weren't invited to those group chats. The child rape has nothing to do with female anti-trans journalists either. We're not friends with pederasty sympathizer Jesse Singal"

I've just gone through SO MANY NYT editors and writers just openly talking with Epstein post conviction, making it clear they're very aware of crimes the general public were not aware of and being friendly and jaunty with him, and then they drop this article today. INTERESTING.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

China dragging us kicking and screaming into a survivable future

I think we need to go further than just “Punish the Villains” at this point as a policy plank

Both parties and the media are getting their instructions from the same informal conspiracy walled garden party of rich elites playing monopoly with our lives for their profit and pleasure. The billionaires are the true enemy, and the media will be their foot soldiers here.

I really wish I could move back into my old engineering field without being consigned to a lab rat position supporting making dogshit cars. The field actually gets to lead and does amazing things in China

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

Every Democrat switching sides today "I think we should give the pedophile who is invading cities with storm troopers legitimacy"

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators. If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

The Democrat Party's purpose on this earth is to destroy your hope while the Republican Party destroys your lives
