Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

Starting a thread for examples of why American fascism couldn’t have happened without car-centric planning and American suburbs.

"Distraction" scolding is one of the worst and most annoying kinds of scolding on this platform. RFK Jr.'s disgracefully dishonest position on acetaminophen is not a distraction - it is part of larger agenda to let eugenics drive US health policy. It is *extremely* serious policy stuff.

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough. Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

"I Touch Myself" one of many tremendous, outrageously great pop songs written by the duo of Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, who put out all these incredible bangers and then Tom Kelly just said "okay, I've done enough" and has been retired for 35 years. that's how you DO it, man

Never heard of "Chotiner" before. Everyone's talking about "Chotiner" today. Not looking into it.

It is now official, anyone who says "LGB without the T" is a confirmed fed and should be treated accordingly.

All of America? Or just, like, the majority of its population? Because 13% of population always sees what’s going on. They’re simply ignored by the majority. Gotta call it like it is, if the country is ever to move forward.

Remembering when two of my friends would quote this line to each other whenever they would pass in the halls of my high school.

at least this whole Rapture thing taught me that that's not even in the Bible, they just made it up in the 19th C. to feel special. Like most things with evangelicals, it's about status and showing that you're better than someone else (in this case, the Left (and Right) Behind 🍑

Today I learned that if you want to call @nyc311.bsky.social through #GoogleVoice, you have to use their full Government [Name]/phone number: 212-NEW-YORK. a.k.a. (212) 639-9675‬. It's like going to court and having to refer to your friend Skeeter as "Reginald" the whole time.

For sale: baby shoes, never worn, because I bought them before I knew what style of shoes my baby would be into and my baby who wasn't super into my taste (because I'm no longer a baby and am thus out of touch with the shoes babies love now) got their own shoes so these ones are up for grabs now.

I wish people would stop fixating on causes and cures for Autism and neurodiversity more broadly. It's time people listen to us, especially Neurodivergent people of color, women and others who are often excluded. Let actually Autistic and Neurodivergent people take the lead. This shouldn't be hard.

😂😂

Keep canceling, it'll be really funny

This last week has convinced me we need to go back to 1998 internet where nothing was forbidden and moderation wasn’t algorithms it was a mod called Sp1cynuggs2000 who would give you a 24 hr timeout if you were “being kind of a douchebag bro, chill”

i know we have to "push back" or whatever but this administration has us saying the goofiest, most obvious shit. late night hosts are allowed to make jokes. actually, WE pay tariffs. no, that's not how tylenol works. could be solving climate change but instead we're debunking middle school rumors

Has anyone asked the autistic people what they think? About being seen as undesirables, about being wiped out for their neurodivergence?

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

nah, the person making this joke knew *exactly* what they were doing

idk about y'all, but I canceled my Disney+ after Song of the South came out in 1946

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This movie understood America so fucking well it’s insane

The Driller Killer (1979)

There are too many apps. 90% of apps should instead be a better website.

I know so many Dems are allergic to “abolish ICE” but I really want them to get that “prosecute ICE” is absolutely a thing to run on in addition to being the transparently morally correct stance

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

If you vote with fascists, guess what that makes you?

There’s just never any situation where you need to vote on the same line as fascists. It’s really not difficult but we can keep pretending it is I suppose.

Did this today (both shots). One place turned me down (as a walk-in) so I just made an appointment online for a different location. Don't take no for an answer!

If this keeps up we're all going to be so bored we're going to start reading books and talking to each other in person.

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

If there's more than 30 of you, as is true in our case, it's pretty important to figure out how many of you make a quorum, in order to make the really big decisions. Look up "parliamentary procedure" and consider using it when things are serious. And discuss what "representation" means for you.

"The [social media] ban happened to coincide with a widely youth-led movement on social media against corruption and against nepotism, especially of the children of the politicians who are currently in power ... [T]he social media ban was one more attempt by the government to suppress their voices."

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

that endless feeling (for too long now)

all fascists are cowards, if you tell them no they run scared, if you try to appease them they sense weakness and attack harder

Why were people saying Fox should fire so-and-so for such-and-such. Instead of saying their broadcast license should be revoked.

thank you ultraman ace

I tried becoming dead inside, only to find out I'm unkillable inside.

The Adjustment Bureau (2011)

fucked around earlier, but completely forgot to find out
