I hope some Christians, Jewish people, Muslims, & other abrahamists eventually grapple with the simultaneous fact that this kind of thinking is an inevitable consequence of belief both in omnipotence and omniscience & is INCREDIBLY shitty. This is an EXTREMELY Abrahamic line of thinking & it sucks.

I just want to be 100% clear: The most important thing that is happening in tech fascism right now is that on Sunday there are elections in Honduras. We are literally at risk of Honduras falling to tech fascism in front of our eyes.

Large part of this is about protecting the billionaire-owned colony of Prospera in Honduras... Honduras has been trying to get the colony out but its faced a huge fight over it. Same billionaires who helped get Trump elected. www.vcinfodocs.com/prospera-the...

Apparently Trump plans to pardon #JOH, an infamous former Honduran president arrested and held in Miami for drug charges. JOH is a dictator who helped shred the Honduran constitution and who presided over egregious corruption, brutal state-sanctioned violence, and was a major ally of drug cartels.

Today is my birthday! My family came from Alabama to celebrate it with me. It was an amazing day and I'm so thankful that they could come, come to the church Jessica and I attend, and be a part of me turning 31.

Tomorrow is my birthday! I've been doing a lot of writing lately but its been fictional stuff. Its been a lot of fun.

Nintendo got tired of the Metroid Prime games having as much internal variation as the Pokemon games do and decide to switch up when it comes to Metroid Prime 4. Now not only is Samus psychic, she also has friends for once, and they'll be visible during gameplay. Wild. youtu.be/7mBR0H1F5hs?...

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

As someone who has frequently defended free speech rights of sex workers and sex work advocates, it's completely unsurprising but nevertheless galling to be reminded once again how POWERFUL MEN talk fondly about sex work in private while demonizing it and pushing oppressive laws about it publicly.

Laura Loomer realizing atheists vote and thus could be persuaded to punch themselves in the face by joining a political party that hates them is very funny.

Everyone is dunking on Kim Kardashian. The truth is the California bar is notoriously hard, the pass rate was only 55%, the pass rate for people who didn‘t go to an accredited law school is way lower, and lots of very smart and dedicated people don’t pass the first time and become good lawyers.

Hi friends! My #birthday is on November 16th, which is in a few days. I'm disabled & currently not working, so hands down the best thing that can be done for birthday stuff if you like me and enjoy the work I've done is to send even a few dollars my way. www.paypal.com/biz/profile/...

This moment demands fighters, not folders.

It's pretty remarkable that the eight fucking cowards who did this did it for so little. I think there's some people who might think the #Shutdown is slated to end like tomorrow. It's... not. The Shitty Senators voted to send the bill to the SENATE for a general vote. Not to the House.

For the record, substantial pushback has been made among normal Democrats who are not the cowardly dickheads in the Senate who betrayed the American people.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The Democrats caving is... a stunning tribute to their devotion to losing, as far as I can tell. I do not know of a victory the Democrats attained by caving this way.

Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50. “Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for certain people to understand that Mamdani is doing so well because he is advocating for more than “keep Trump from taking the few good and/or semi-decent things that remain” and is articulating a real vision for how to make New York better.

seriously, can we stop talking about how Ds are out of step with the electorate and will never win again now? R's brand is toxic sludge. they can't beat moderates. they can't beat progressives. they can't beat shit.

damn it turns out “we’re the genital inspector party” can’t win every time

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

Ghazala Hashmi (D) has been elected Lt. Governor of Virginia, the first Muslim American to be elected to any statewide office at lieutenant governor and above.

Sure wish we had someone at ICE who could enact, as a matter of policy, a regulation that ICE agents simply don't wear face masks and the like to ensure transparency. That way we knew they were LEGALLY AUTHORIZED PROFESSIONAL kidnappers & criminals and not just amateur kidnappers & criminals.

In addition to be overjoyed that Mamdani won, I'm incredibly relieved that a serial sexual abuser lost.

[Narrator: they lost 13 seats]

Mamdani is mayor-elect. Smart Democrats would learn from that. Smart Democrats have learned from that. Lets see if the heads of the party are included in that camp.

Every bit of context Noah added is correct.

Leftists Celebrating Dick Cheney's Death Shows They Are The Real War Criminals by Bari Weiss

I have nothing nice to say about #DickCheney and his death, so I won't say anything at all. And believe me it's HARD for me to not make a joke.

Local elected officials are the first legislative line of defense against fascism. Today I went and early voted for people in my city who would push back against the MAGA agenda. I hope you go out and vote too.

I'm still a bit short, about 50 or so dollars short, and tomorrow my account is gonna go into the red. Any and all #MutualAssistance would go a long way. If you have any spare change or so you can throw at me it'd mean a lot.

Some friends have already helped some, getting me a bit over a quarter of the way there but I am signal boosting this a touch before bed. #mutualaid

borders don't make a country. people make a country. your country is your neighbors, not the fencing along some arbitrary line.

I'm currently in the unenviable position of needing #MutualAid due to having run out of savings. I have a phone bill coming up that I just can't handle alone. I'm trying to get $100 in the short term though anymore would be amazing & help me buy food next week. www.paypal.com/biz/profile/...

I think this could be a neat time to talk about the history of renovations to the #WhiteHouse, but one of the bits that matters and is relevant to right now is that while it's true that the White House has gotten plenty of renovations there's a whole process for it.

A long time ago I was openly critical of bernie because of profoundly racist bullshit like this. It annoyed a lot of people. I was right. Bernie has a history of being weird as fuck on immigration and just fucking useless on this kind of thing. Unsurprised to see him continuing that.

Something something *dumbest people you know* something something P.S.: Fuck these two idiots specifically. These two sad clowns contributed to Trump's rise and they don't get brownie points for realizing, now, that Trump is interested in fucking them over too.

It's... weird how this wasn't a bigger story when it first broke, six days ago. Over 170 American citizens have been detained and held by ICE. So, kidnapped. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

I have... thoughts and concerns regarding artificial wombs and the children they could help come to term, but this IS an interesting solution. This is worth a watch.

According to Vance's own admin antisemitism is enough of a reason to be denied entry to the USA. So... we're FULLY embracing "Do as I say, not as I do" huh?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Just really saying the quiet part out loud huh?

If only there were some reverse version of the "Go woke, go broke" saying. "Go fash, you're gonna need cash"? Who knows. But he can get fucked. Rare W for bankruptcy.

A shocking number of people think Columbus's life, apparently, magically came to an end after his voyages and that those voyages were family-friendly affairs where nothing went wrong and everyone got along famously. That's... not what happened. Columbus was a bad guy and it's weird to celebrate him.

For the record, that fucking asshole is calling a "No King's" Rally a "Hate America" rally. "No King's" was the FIRST rallying cry of this country. What are conservatives CONSERVING exactly? It's sure as shit not our actual history.

In my latest #Video I talk about #PuertoRico, #Status, Racism, and other stuff, including Bad Bunny & the Superbowl. youtu.be/eEj_fOaNtfs

Hamas has allegedly agreed to Trump's Gaza Peace Plan, bringing about the beginning of the end of 2 years of incredibly violent fighting & devastation in the region. I'm surprised they agreed to the rough peace plan Trump proposed & I expect as details emerge we'll learn a lot more than is clear rn.

If I did what Trump did and you wanted me to confess to that, you could hold a gun to my head and I think I'd still lie. This is a fully crazy thing to confess. Flagrantly defying both the Supreme Court and any semblance of freedom of speech, and just admitting it, live on television.

"Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message?" No. No he didn't. Trump's team lied and Tapper is going along with it. Oh little give-away could be to look at the text messages. If they are coherently written, that's not Trump.
