first fetterman, now orange man. we've been having bad stroke roles lately

places i want to visit

nice

to be clear Joey gave me his blessing to publish this, with the honored request that i take out the part where we hypothetically threaten Cremieux with violence

I wrote about Joey's conflict with some white supremacist douche blog.ordoliberal.com/justice-for-...

I am quite confident that if you picked any random person convicted of first-degree murder it's a 99.9% chance they would be a better president than Trump paulkrugman.substack.com/p/hey-lets-u...

One of the major lessons of the last decade in American politics has been realizing how many voters on the fence will respond to the impression of strength and raw willpower. I can't think of a Democrat who's learned it.

hell yeah

now even more than ever, North American tech conferences need to start making plans to be split across multiple sites, one in the US for people that can't leave, and one outside the US for people who can't enter. Simulcast between the two locations.

new essay coming out monday

it is absolutely fair to say that hakeem jeffries has, in the last year, shown more support for charlie kirk's life work than he has for the democratic nominee for mayor in his city, the largest city in the country

utopia deferred suggested AOC should take the Jeffries problem into her own hands

BlueSky mods 🤝 the fascist government Banning Latinx voices for sharing alternative ideas about politics

They deferred utopia and put up a parking lot

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

i'm starting to wonder if yts glaze Imani because they think it lets them sling racism as long as it's against someone who disagrees with her, like being called an actual slur would've been less offensive than a (rooftop Korean with fantasies of murdering black people)

calling a vietnamese woman an evil rooftop korean, but it's okay if it's in the name of woke

If you're going to dunk on will, your best bet is to make fun of him for not caring too much about his friend's sexual harassment allegations and not the fact that he told a sitting trumpist US attorney to go fuck himself

i prefer bluesky over x because there's race skirmishes within the big tent rather than race wars between the parties

How are people still screeching about protest signups. Just go to the protest without signing up if you’re paranoid, who the fuck cares.

you have to admit it's a little funny to be doing dire warnings about signing up for protests on a website where you post leftist stuff under your own name

New from @lioneltrolling.bsky.social www.unpopularfront.news/p/this-is-it

hey ma, look i'm on reddit :\

but. like. you are writing this (as am i) in a system in which (a) deletes do not have guaranteed propagation, and (b) tombstones persist for all eternity. your sense of risk is catastrophically fucked if you think this is any safer than putting your email in a place it has to be subpoenaed out of.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

enemies of the liberal state

Schumer needs to say that when Ds take congress they will hold hearings on whether Disney needs to be broken up since it is essentially bribing Trump for preferential treatment re mergers.

a part of me wants to become a lawyer so i can win internet pissing contests

ngl i kind of deserved the hate i received from your followers especially since I antagonized all of them for being White. I concede that you are definitely a lawyer because you've taught your followers to use a bunch of words when only two were necessary

remember when Imani said that people continuing to use the coconut emoji for Kamala was racist, and then proceeded to accidentally recommend the "i hate muslims" emoji

absolutely no one is telling you that you have to register for a protest. that is not a thing that is happening. that is the abysmally stupid core of this abysmally stupid argument which has enflamed part of this frequently stupid website for the last two days.

you may *choose* to get email notifications and updates and donation solicitations. you may *choose* to be solicited to help organize future events. you may also *choose* not to do these things. i cannot fucking believe people are pretending to believe there's any controversy here.

Okay, @adamboyce.bsky.social (one of Imani's followers) made a good point that there's probably at least one person out there for whom "don't give your real email to No Kings" works. I have no idea who those people are or how many they are, but here's how to lock down if you *really* need to:

Mint the coin and use it to buy the Big Stapler

getting a bunch of the same responses from Imani's white followers wasn't a great experience, but made lemons into lemonade by turning this into an opportunity to invent new slurs for white folx

how are you unable to see that there is a world of difference between signing up for a thing that is definitely illegal and something that isn't illegal? I donate $15 a month to RAICES. oh no! they have my info!!!!!!

There was a bunch of posting about how No Kings had terrible opsec because people were posting pictures of themselves at the protest. And like, guys, if you're doing things that are not illegal and 90% of people would not find antisocial, then getting arrested is like, the best protest outcome

...this is boilerplate legalese that you can find on every site

gonna pitch an essay to liberal currents called "In Defense of Jerusalem Demsas"

clemson university is run by a bunch of weiners

yeah as i traveled left, i went from queer assimilationism to queer resistance to woke imperialism

It is entirely fitting and proper that Charlie Kirk’s admirers are honoring his beliefs about free speech by devoting hours to getting people fired for saying the wrong things about him.

a detail that appears with fairly regular occurrence in many personal accounts of the Nazi regime is how many individuals died from stroke, heart attacks, and similar health complications because of the stress and despondency that was inflicted on those whose lives were ruined by the regime.
