DECREE: if i ever get on some thing where im constantly going around and saying open manholes are a price we pay for living in a society with a sewer system, and that it would be good if we broadcast more people falling into manholes, then i fall into a manhole and die on a livestream? you can laugh

periodically I see the president doing things like “post crimes for his attorney general to do that were maybe supposed to be an unencrypted DM on his own personal social network” and I remember that he got elected in large part because of information security practices and I black out in rage

We can expect evangelicals attributing the earthquake to Charlie Kirk as judgement on evil leftist Gay communist democrats, in 3, 2, 1. apnews.com/article/eart...

It's really a golden age of being punished by our parents, teachers, politicians, and culture heroes for believing in the moral ideals that they themselves taught us

What a great fucking metaphor they didn't mean to employ

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

the republican line to open corruption in the government is “WE DON’T CARE” lmfao

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

On the evidence, I am convinced the only vote most white Democrats want is from their racist uncle who has not once voted Democratic.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

We're tired of our public figures being cowards.

This is great, but holy fuck, how is our economy real?

Guy who spent the last 18 hours telling everyone that Democrats voting for Horst Wessel Day were really smart actually also thinks he's in Hogwarts. The fetid mind of a centrist in one glimpse.

We once had a song called "the internet is for porn" and that's aging worse with every day.

why tf would they do this. what are they getting out of this besides contempt from their constituents.

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

Without cops, who are you gonna get to show up way too late to do anything, scold and disrespect you, and write a meaningless report? Ok, fine, other than Democrats

White nationalist Christians have always had a problem: Jesus is kinda... y'know... 𝙅𝙚𝙬-𝙮 Charlie Kirk is a much more appealing Messiah for them

I just want to write stories and look at moss and hug my kids.

Democratic Senators : someone should stand up for freedom of speech this is a crisis Republican Senators : anyone got shit to say about our National Charlie Kirk Day of Sainthood Democratic Senators : *scuff feet, look away* Republican Senators : that's what we fucking thought bitches, sit down

I wish I ever saw think pieces on how horrible it is to celebrate the deaths of schoolchildren involved in mass shootings, Palestinians, trans people, and victims of police brutality

Charlie Kirk: Democrat Party hates America, Democrat president must be executed. Republicans: We declare Charlie Kirk a saint. Any objections? Democrats: Nope.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

My respect for anyone who says they're afraid of voting against this resolution is zero. You are a member of Congress. The country is being dragged to hell. 'People will threaten us.' What did you think this job entailed? Quit blubbering, vote no, and move on.

This is eliminationist, genocidal rhetoric. There’s nothing ambiguous about it. And it didn’t come from a random Bluesky account with 28 followers. It came from a sitting member of Congress. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-c...

You’re not antifa? So you’re fa(scist)?

You can’t “good trans representation” your way out of a genocide when the people who hate you and want to kill you will make up whatever they want, whenever they want, no matter what you write.

Wishing peace for all Black women today.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

This is true and deserves a reckoning!

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Yeah, I freely admit that I lacked the imagination to realize that the sharp, biting commentary of … Jimmy Kimmel … would lead to the moment that marked the end of the American experiment.

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

ah, well

I'll quote any post that contains the phrase 'milquetoast codswallop.' I promise you.

Here's the thing: When Dems like Pelosi and even McBride call the Trump's attacks on trans people "distractions", they aren't talking about the ATTACKS. They're saying the OPPOSITION to those attacks is distracting. They'd RATHER the fight be about budgets, because they can't fight anything else.

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

I have extremely reasonable doubts about any so-called "evidence" that services a fascist Republican narrative justifying their ongoing violent harassment and persecution of marginalized people.

this one's still up in the air, and i'd like to think california's laws are much stronger on this front, but as a side note the last bullet point is why i answer that i'm cishet white woman on any form that ever asks in a workplace lmfao

I know it's not the first time I've said this, but my brain is weirdly susceptible to gaslighting. I know the Trumpers are lying liars who lie and I still pause when they step up to the podium and confidently declare "WELL YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN OBAMA FUCKED A WALRUS" and think wait, did he?

He has three sons

Nope
