Eating a raw onion like an apple really do just be woke misandry

democratic base: "abolish ice" democratic senators: "did u say fund ice? we can do that!"

the amount of Democratic boosters who are screeching about "civics lessons" to defend leadership is fucking insane. you can post about being in the minority all you fucking want but the filibuster is a thing and so is unanimous consent. dems have fast tracked shit and refuse to play hard ball

It has now been four years

"In theater." They are levying war on the American people with a paramilitary force. It is treason. Impeach Noem. Impeach Trump.

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including “biological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

Sometimes you look at Democrats and think "You've spent so long accepting lesser evils that you don't even consider anymore if you have to accept an evil at all."

he was just in the news for accepting a bribe that was literally a bag of cash

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

got exposed to jack halberstam today and holy shit man decided his brainworms should be everyone's problem and then unfortunately accomplished it

my brainworms have hardened into some sort of lattice I don't know how to break

chris murphy being described as a "leftist" by an ostensibly "left wing" pundit makes me want to bash my head against a wall.

"popularists": "no, no, no, not like that" etc. etc.

Renee Good's last words were "I'm not mad at you" and Alex Pretti's were "are you okay?"

People are nervous about watching video, but this one is not of the murder, it's of the lead up, and people need to see it before the spin takes over.

pretty much every country in the latter is instituting srticter care requirements for trans people, but go off

honestly if he dies without consequences, this shit will metastasize so much deeper and wider. him dying would make the republican party weaker short term but it would also crystalize the fascist superstructure of the american state

i read Kimmy in just over 24 hours and i think it broke me in ways i needed to be broken

So Hakeem didn’t whip against the ICE bill even though his entire party except seven votes was against it? What kind of leadership is that? He’s literally just covering for the corrupt seven at the expense of everyone else. Why are all of them ok with this?

so I read part 1 of Kimmy last night, had prog dreams, and woke up semi-convinced my name was Kimmy. that sure was a fuckin trip

i wonder if it remains 50-50 because democrats don't say abolish ice how do you think republicans got the public where they are with trans issues? they said stuff that was unpopular and pushed it repeatedly until it was popular

An autistic woman is reportedly unable to choose between letting people walk all over her, resulting in self-loathing, or being so assertive that everyone gets mad at her, resulting in self-loathing.  Read this and other exclusive articles on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/126621...

I do have to point out that even with a more-accepting society, there is a gulf between "I am okay with queers" and "I am okay with my kid being a queer". People can support LGBT rights in the abstract and then get spooked when their own precious cinnamon roll makes them a "non-traditional family".

as much as i want to be "save me, Europe, save me", i think it would massively dial up whatever level of civil war we have going on right now.

One of the reasons it’s a problem that Democrats keep ceding ground to transphobes is that it actually just helps conservatives get more votes by not contesting any of the transphobic shit that conservatives are using as a gateway message

can obviously disagree with the content or whatever, but this is like 1000% better poasting technique

real fucking annoyed that i'm sick but at least it's giving me a chance to voice train my sneeze and cough

dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win dont let the brainworms win

thinking "but my post did well on x: the bot and nazi app" is certainly a thought

every once and awhile i go on an absolute tear in bullet chess 22-6-1 in my last 29 games

we have a confirmed instance of "and then everyone clapped"

people in the comments are so mad that trans women are explicitly telling this egg that what she's experiencing is dysphoria

gallego's rhetoric is better but there has to be an explicit strategy/policy attached or it's the same old bullshit with different paint

gotta love liberals adopting right wing framing of trans women just to make a shitty joke

tbf i do hate democrats, but it's because they are also too deferential to the fascists

There something particularly grating being a trans woman seeing democrats go out of their way to talk to Republicans to "hear them out" when democrats seem incapable of being in the same room as a trans woman, much less listen to her

Fellas, is it morally justifiable to log off?

holy fuck jesus christ

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

"excuse me mr fascist sir i know ur better than this please stop"

popularists in shambles, etc. etc.

“I’m not sure we totally agree about some of these political things, but fuck it, let’s risk being martyred by the state to protect the preschool on the corner.”

pretending to be a boy at work is really starting to get to me

popularists: no, no, no, not like that!

billy stencils entering a "hollup...let him cook" arc

i truly think harris could have won running against "weird", but she would have needed to ignore biden world and not hire the stupid uk labour advisors

insider dem mindsets are permanently stuck in the 90s and permanently stuck responding as if it was 2017
