"Centrists" have commitment issues

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

What the actual fuck? This dystopian nightmare just keeps getting worse...

This is fucking criminal. #resistfascism

Exciting!

JFC

That’s no ballroom…

Local legislator displays the importance of kerning

Super embarrassing, but since the East Wing demolition pictures started surfacing I've been struggling to figure out exactly where that is in the grand scheme of things. Thankfully, I was finally able to track this visual down from BBC. Hopefully it's helpful to anyone else having similar issues!

It sounds like the Republicans should stop protecting Bill Clinton and release the Epstein files.

And I say again unto thee, FUCK ICE. Can I get an amen? #resistthesefascistfuckers

Please give yourself a good ten minutes with this thread. Well worth it.

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?” Imagine that. Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.” But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

I think I'm liking this new Last Frontier show on Apple TV but that theme song is absolute 80s throwback ass. This looks like. serious series and for some reason they're using some Hardcastle and McCormick type hype music that is WAY too peppy for this show. Just one man's opinion.

WAR-TORN PORTLAND

Now that Dominion has been sold to an ex-GOP election official, I think it's time to sell ownership interest in Mifepristone to Moms for Liberty. I mean, what could go wrong?

This quote: Instead of talking about wages, housing or climate disasters, we’ll talk about black-clad anarchists who can’t be fact-checked because they’re mostly not real. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I love that I just went to the White House website and opted in to their newsletter only to find out that I'm not the only one that tried to use [email protected] as my email address lol

Fuck to the yes. Oh and fuck ICE.

I definitely abhor Trump, Johnson and the rest of the MAGA ghoul-ag, but goddammit if these Renewable From Anderson motherfuckers aren't a close second.

This is so fucking insane and yet completely on brand for this administration.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Just saw a picture of Lindsey Halligan and know exactly why he picked her. 1) of course she's a sycophant and 2) she looks like every other cut and paste MAGA Barbie currently polluting our air space.

What the actual fuck?! Can we get this to be headline news everywhere please? GOP all up in arms about human trafficking and then do this shit.

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

So what are everybody's rapture plans? Have they pinpointed the exact time yet or is it still a surprise? So excited!

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Ok this was funny.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Go Birds! Fuck ICE! And free Palestine!

Oh my god this press conference. What a MAGA clown show. Fuck all of this people.

Preach, King!

Further evidence of Trump's 3D chess - what could possibly go wrong when three of the world's worst leaders band together? Truly amazed at how one man may bring about the fall of western civilization. I hate it here.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I think we have to withhold prayers until God starts doing what we want. He’s a fiend for prayers and I think he’s just used to getting them. Cut off the supply and draw him out

Note to self. Never wade into convo about Gaza. Ever. It’s wrong, but if you say it’s wrong in the wrong way, then you’re a murderous monster, even if you oppose the genocide that Israel is perpetrating on Gaza but point out that those that helped elect Trump doubled down on that but added fascism.

Sweet ever loving fuck, people can be so goddamn stupid. Having good intentions but being incapable of understanding nuance or other viewpoints is exhausting. Dialogue is everything. Good intentions minus the ability to have an actual conversation is fucking exhausting.

Really digging this trickle up economy we’re building. Fuck small business and mom and pops, it’s time for everything to ladder up to a conglomerate!Watching tons of international small business owners on Instagram in tears as DHL and others stop shipments amid Trump’s tariff nonsense. Insanity!!

I find myself saying this often, and it brings me no joy to do so, but we live on the absolute stupidest fucking timeline imaginable.

THIS.

Holy shit. 'Deepest, darkest Africa'? Like what the fuck?!

How can all top cabinet members be available for every photo-op/verbal diarrhea session that this chimp holds and still manage to do their jobs? Particularly when they're not all that equipped to do them in the first place? Seems like they'd want to be working extra hard to get things done. But no.

Just honestly, mother fuck this orange dictator prick. Why does the media just let him hold court, spouting nonsense, making inflammatory, derogatory, and just plain false claims and allegations, with every single fucking breath he takes?! Seriously - why isn't the media holding him to account?!?!

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.
