I said this in 2016 and I say it now. The whole spectrum of the left does not think about the courts the same way that the whole spectrum of the right. The left does not think about the ramifications of the courts until they do something abominable. By then, it's too late.

'there's no such thing as rape in our town' tends to be the kind of thing that means there's a lot of rape in your town.

I'm in Virginia and they are running constant Winsome Sears ads and aini't none of them said a word about jobs, the economy, schools, crime, etc. It's all OMG TRANS all the time.

Can the basement they run the NYT out of fucking collapse already

I log onto bluesky to quote Chuck Schumer's factual statement with "it's like they're addicted to losing". 9,000 people hit like within an hour. My son asks "daddy, why are dems feckless?" I tell him "so I can make Good Posts, bud". I set my alarm to get up early so I can do the same thing tomorrow.

I worry for the state of furry and adjacent ways honestly. The pressure to make your story a political manifesto greatly holds a LOT of people back undeniably. I know it did me and friends among others at one point. You don’t need a ideological thesis in that sense. Just write, dude. Please.

Quick, the Democratic governor is standing up to fascist Republicans - we need to find a Black man to yell at!! (Bonus points for the “Black men are lazy” trope.) Fuck these people.

Brunch is great. People who don’t think you should ever go out with your friends for eggs and light alcohol midmorning, who have taken that fun concept and used it to try to insult people, are miserable joyless drips.

If you’re in the replies crying, here’s a thought. Elect more Democrats so they have a majority in Congress, since Republicans control everything. Or learn basic math. Or how to give a shit about someone other than yourself like who suffers in a shutdown or otherwise from this admin’s actions.

Every dumb bastard loves fakey off grid mountain man living until they need a root canal or four.

I have to write the modern day Sirius

“Shut it down”. Me: Ok. Where is the plan to provide basic needs for those who won’t have jobs so your employed self can scream this from your sofa? “But the Montgomery bus boycott…” Me: …did not just *voila* happen and would not have been successful without a plan to do exactly as I described

now that it's october im legally allowed to post this

Well…this blew up. Since you’ve spun the block and are here- help me keep my Senator? electjon.com

The trump regime… pushing Black women out of the workforce

Allyship isn’t an all access card. Some spaces no matter how long you e been an ally aren’t meant for you, nor are you welcomed in. A good ally knows when to respect boundaries, a bad one will whine and fuss about being excluded.

In the communal justice au, everyone accuses whichever trans masculine person or trans man who pisses them off for being “too cringe”, “too gender conforming”, “having boundaries”, and for not being free “boy pussy” of being an “evil man” and gets the poor dude stoned to death :(

The person who is most insane about what you DON’T ship (yeah) gets to be in charge of your punishment if you “do something wrong” in the communal justice alternate universe

We love the touchy and intellectually dishonest. Maybe stop reading what someone is saying with your feelings and read it with your eyes instead!

Serious question: Have we tried saying Cringe instead of Weird? Some people are clearly still scared of being Cringe after all this time. It's just instead of wielding it against wine moms, we wield it against teenagers who talk about reading political treatises or restoring the west or whatever.

Basically let's be real here: by taking Trump and Miller's opinion of how powerful and unstoppable they are at face value and amplifying it, you are literally helping them more than rw types cheering them on. Stop it.

Not everything has to be about YOOOOU…Jesus Christ. Leave some for the rest of us!

The forecast remains uncertain, so it’s important that North Carolinians get prepared now. Have your emergency kits ready, and listen to local emergency guidance to stay safe and informed. Learn more: governor.nc.gov/news/press-r...

I have declared a State of Emergency to enable the State Emergency Response Team to mobilize resources and prepare for potential impacts of hazardous weather, including Tropical Depression 9 or future Imelda.

Unfortunately, it was a multi-day scandal on here when the left found out anyone on our side was paying anyone to do any labor in this regard. Many people on our side have a shockingly poor understanding of how organizing works, or at least pretend to for Internet clout.

"They're behind me making those stupid faces again. I don't even have to turn around to know it. I hate those stupid faces they make." #myart

Canadians shut up about US politics if all your takes are wrong and actively detrimental challenge

I agree. Platner looks and sounds like Kristin Sinema 2.0 - and w/o a doubt Fetterman 2.0. The last thing we need is another GOP wolf in sheep's clothing.

I really need the smart people on this site to stop reacting like the pronouncements of individuals that always lie actually represent the ground truth and most literal reality of what is going to happen. Maybe today will be the day they’re going to follow through but so far it hasn’t been ever.

Let this be a lesson to you: anyone who whines about wanting to “slim down” government is your enemy and wants you dead.

What a sh*t show: National Weather Service at ‘breaking point’ as storm approaches www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Rainfall from Hurricane Helene caused the New River to flood the town of Lansing, damaging homes, businesses, and roads.

Yeah, my choice not to engage with KOG fandom remains unmatched. If I say what I want to, I will be killed.

Microraptor repost time!

Lt. Col. George Hardy, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen and the last of the group's World War II combat pilots, died at 100, according to Tuskegee Airmen, Inc.

GOP controls the House. GOP controls the Senate. GOP controls the White House. If the gov't shuts down, every missed paycheck, every closed office, every crisis? That's their fault. Every bit of it.

One year ago today, Hurricane Helene hit our state. The storm was devastating, and communities in Western NC are still rebuilding. We cannot abandon Western NC. I will keep fighting for the federal resources needed to rebuild schools, roads, business, and more.

they act awfully guilty for people who claim liz cheney tricked them into napping through the month of november.

a small but loud number of people on this website get so worked up when people remind them voting for kamala harris and urging others to vote for kamala harris would have prevented all of this. y'all need to either half or double whatever dose you're taking.

Alice: "Wow annoying trend" Bob: "Those people are a tiny minority and don't exist" Chris: "Yes we do" Every time.

Never getting over how Charli did more to try to improve the world with one tweet than a number of dumb-dumb cis queer celebrities who think they’re the saviors of trans kind….Ugh

Cannot wait for this guy to fuck off somewhere. It’s like he does this shit on purpose.

Making a snarky, irritated post about not knowing what the shitlibs mean when they say "tankie" isn't meant as an actual question. It's meant as a mockery. It *seems* like the post is inviting a discussion, but really it's just a wink and a nod to the fellow tankies in the audience.

The Trump administration's illegal leak of my records — including my Social Security Number — to Jack’s campaign isn't just about me. It's about any veteran who's considering standing up, and the chilling effect this will have.

If shit tok gets nationalized, can you people FINALLY get off it That damn app has caused irrevocable damage to society and people’s brains I fucking swear

The work isn’t done, but the ongoing construction exemplifies the recovery efforts happening all across western North Carolina. Let’s keep going.

Thanks to the hard work of the NC Department of Transportation, numerous contractors, and federal partners like the US DOT, the Federal Highway Administration, and the US Forest Service, I-40 reopened in the spring, as have 97% of all state-maintained roads.

Pigeon River Gorge was the location of one of the 1,450 roads Hurricane Helene made completely impassable.

I am no stranger to tough fights. I have won hard races before and will do it again with the help of North Carolinians stepping up and fighting for a better future.
