"my kids are defective!" is the battlecry of nearly every reactionary movement

"Fifty-three percent of Democratic voters said they preferred politicians described as similar to Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani, while 33 percent favored those similar to Schumer, Jeffries and Pelosi. Fourteen percent didn’t choose."

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

Phone bill is due TODAY. I cannot lose access to phone service as I rely on it to keep in contact&do face time with some of my sons therapists (he’s asd nonverbal) as well as my internet that’s due in 2 days which gives me access to help so my kids and I can survive while I’m waiting on disability

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

“Once you use ChatGPT, you don’t want to think for yourself anymore” that, in a nutshell, is why I avoid these things because no matter how convinced you are that it isn’t happening to you, it is happening to you these machines will suck your creativity dry and you’ll thank them for it

"glorifying violence" is in here, which will absolutely apply when someone says "rest in piss" about a fascists, and will absolutely not apply when someone lionozes that same fascist, who built their whole fortune calling for violence against marginalized groups

ANTI ABORTION? who WONT ezra klein sacrifice to lose another election?

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

under-appreciated post

keep in mind this 1/5 is ON AVERAGE meaning that some americans think that number is even HIGHER!!

Monstery by Kanye West is such an interesting song - I've never seen another track that doesn't start till 3:35 in

i've subscribed to: rolling stone WIRED 404 media defector the handbasket chicago journalism i subscribed to: unraveled block club it's time to support media directly so they don't fall into the hands of fascists, the replies to this post have additional great news media i recommend supporting

if you keep on the voter blaming then you basically have to move into "the voters should've simply have overthrown the entire party all at once at the ballot box with a whole bunch of radicals who actually recognized the threat", and that's just not Pragmatic or Realistic as i'm so often told to be.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

okay but i really thought this one was a joke

nobody saying "don't put your name on the protest list" means "stay home instead" and i'm not sure why that assumption is being made

there is no argument meritocracy. humans consistently do not change their mind after being given the worlds best argument. absolutely delusional to believe otherwise

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

are you sick of answers like this and wanna turn them off permanently? try following the instructions on udm14.com - or use the site itself for a quick and easy search with no ai!

i hate how the existence of companies has led to burying responsibility instead of "joe the carpenter made me a chair that fell apart when my grandma sat in it" it's "boeing made planes that crash and kill everyone" or "chat gpt made this kid kill themselves" or "facebook fueled ethnic violence"

extremely important watch

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

the Colorado school shooter from the same day that Charlie Kirk was killed posted himself holding his gun on Twitter / X where he followed multiple far right accounts weird how you wouldn't call on Elon Musk too to testify at an online radicalization hearing

ya know, it occurs to me that when saying the term "the ratchet effect" i'm relying on people knowing what a ratcheting wrench or ratcheting screwdriver is. do y'all know what those are?

. @tobyfox.undertale.com why are you doing the poll for your stream on twitter only? would appreciate you including people who dont wanna be on that site anymore

coates is genuinely a generational writer

I am now starting to suspect that people doom posting themselves into saying it doesn't matter that Trump is wildly unpopular because he is going to do a dictatorship are themselves an op. Dictatorships aren't stable by magic, they need people to buy in and go along with them. This matters.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

its over

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

the great thing about protests is that you can just show up, you dont have to and SHOULD NOT sign your name, anonymity protects us!!!

i think the reason the broader public doesn't understand that is because the US military kills a whole lot of civilians in ways that should be illegal

wow this guy seems seriously out there and dangerous, i hope he isnt super rich or influential over the vice president or something

must be something wrong with my internet, I just woke up and tried to find the massive Democratic party pushback to all these attacks on the first amendment and nothing's coming up in my browser

bringing this back in the wake of everything going on recently

it's v funny the way self-alleged leftists kept mocking anarchist critiques of parents owning their children as "bedtime abolition" considering we can now pretty conclusively say that """parental rights""" have been at the very spearhead of a successful fascist resurgence

man the mental health difference between online and offline is pretty big in normal times but it an absolute chasm right now being super aware of what’s happening is important but my god it is a drain

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

they aren't inconsistent. they think all people should have free speech, and they dont think you're people. you dont count to them

Everyone & I do mean everyone in America: Shut the government down A growing number of us every day: Yeah lol forever Most Americans: Shut up commies Leadership Democrats: We will never shut this government down, our name plaques & desks that fash literally shit on are all we have in this life

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

more and more i keep thinking about when george carlin said "its a big club and you aint in it" almost daily now

Some of them referring directly to the nypost article post that has been up and inciting violence against people like me on this very platform for over a day.
