Our country is run by the pettiest bitches.

Just because Person A is upset about something that has happened to Person B doesn't mean A likes B. A could very much dislike B, but there exist many reasons to oppose bad things done to others: Basic empathy, fear of ramifications beyond the event, caring about laws, love thy neighbor, etc.

Ah yes, reminds me of how when I said that Dick Cheney was six feet closer to Hell, and bsky mods thought it was a threat. To a dead man.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

Like I understand that both leftists (et al) and liberals (and centrists) are both against fascism and hate Trump. Good. It's that the liberals want to do the same shit they've been doing for 40 years that clearly doesn't work, and then call leftists traitors and trump supporters and idiots about it

Clickbait Wrestling Youtubers: "Andrade AEW return in doubt?!" NJPW: "And here is AEW's Andrade, from AEW, the company he works for, which is called AEW.

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

The only President I acknowledge:

Seeing that Captain America panel posted everywhere again. The next two panels are worth checking out too. From Daredevil #283 (1990) by Ann Nocenti and Mark Bagley.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff "But what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"

“Oh but if Democrats did that Republicans would just vote it down, wouldn’t convict and would rally their base to defend Trump’s crimes.” Yeah, okay, make them do that then.

Now Trump says "we" need Greenland. Well done weak European leaders who tepidly criticized/welcomed Trump’s invasion of Venezuela yesterday. You're next.

we used to be a proper country

These motherfuckers are really trying to Operation Iraqi Freedom us again.

At least in They Live you had to put on the glasses to see the dystopian messages.

this is one of those things people just will not believe, but there's a lot of evidence...and honestly the arguments for term limits just don't make a ton of sense. 1

Silence is complicit

Not that crazy IMO ➡️ The Republican-run Supreme Court has ruled the President can't be prosecuted for doing crimes in office ➡️ The Republican-run Congress has decided Trump's the boss and they are mere spectators Historically, tell a guy he's a god-king with no consequences and this is the result

Poor Scorpio just can't manage to stay healthy.

hot tgirls are living under fascism near YOU

A dear friend just quit social media entirely because some pigfucker decided to use Grok to generate nudes of her and send them to her, without her knowledge or consent. At this point, using ChatGPT or Grok is deliberately aligning yourself with Nazis and pedophiles and I refuse to respect it.

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

They all gotta go. Been too much.

This admission alone would be sufficient for a war crimes conviction. He’s just openly bragging about launching a war of aggression and plunder. bsky.app/profile/atru...

President Xi please help us

I don't know maybe the world does need to sanction us

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Somewhere George W Bush has the biggest erection he’s had since 2003

Leftists 20 years ago: it’s bad to invade a sovereign country for flimsy reasons and no plan to avoid monstrous ramifications Leftists today: it’s bad to invade a sovereign country for flimsy reasons and no plan to avoid monstrous ramifications It’s like they don’t even see their hypocrisy 🙄🙄🙄

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Entering our Too Lazy to Manufacture Consent era

A senile Republican president has turned America into a disease-ridden, economically stagnant police state. But my liberal neighbor is having a Hamilton-themed birthday party for his nine-year-old. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi

It's not about Maduro And there are millions who can never speak again because of all we've done pretending it was about a bad guy when it was about resources and power. You don't have to twist yourselves into knots about Maduro being awful because... It's not about Maduro

the year is 2026

good lord

Part of the reason Florida went from being a purple state to being a outright red state is so many the right-wing fascist freaks from all the country flooded Florida. They should not move to Florida. They should throw themselves in the fucking ocean and never come back up again.

i was just thinking about this. when a fascist squeaks by, it’s a mandate. when a progressive wins by a landslide, he needs to be deferential. it’s such bullshit.

Goddammit, I think branding just worked on me.

It's the weekend, baby

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters

Bernie Wagenblast: Perhaps you know me best as the voice that says... "Please stand away from the platform edge!" [crowd goes completely apeshit]

I know I’m probably just a foolish Luddite, but I am pretty sure we can do without plagiarism and misinformation machines that generate horrible sex crimes for the amusement of rape aficionados.
