"well what can these poor baby smol bean elected officials do 🥺" they should be in the streets getting tear gassed with their constituents and i'm not kidding

ICE, Trump, Vance, Miller, Bovino etc are the main villains here of course. But secondary villains include everyone else with political or institutional power letting this go undefended. Everyone who let ICE, and policing in general, get to this awful state. They all have blood on their hands.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

it's probably my fault but i don't really understand nintendo's strategy of supporting a new console with $80 versions of games that cost $60 several years ago when they first came out

this is deeply embarrassing good thing democrats still have time to make sure their 2028 candidate isn’t quite so unabashedly awful

I get how this looks at a glance, but these numbers don’t account for people who would be fine voting for dems without much to say about affordability but refuse to vote for dems who can’t muster up a suitable response to a gov’t-approved roving band of kidnappers and murderers (it’s me I’m people)

this x one thousand

not only do I not think you can “train” this behavior out of these monsters, I don’t think you can restore the humanity of people who can watch this happen and see more of themselves in the people doing the chasing than in the people being chased

maybe today is the day when happening becomes attributable to it

this is a *great* video I have a soft spot for silent hill 4 and keep meaning to replay it, but my (shattered) memories of the second half have kept me away at the very least I’m in a silent hill-type mood now; maybe it’s time to give f a spin

reckoning with the newfound understanding that europeans might hate me because of atrocities committed by my government on the international stage also it is 1995 and i am reading about chrono trigger in nintendo power that shit looks hype as fuck

People are always quick to say “but democrats need to play the game!” No, they don’t need to play the game with Nazis or anyone appointed by Nazis. I have not seen a single tangible benefit of Dems confirming trump nominees, and an enormous downside is that you look hypocritical as shit.

i flew 10,000 miles to keira knightley's door to say one thing without hope or agenda just because it's christmas (and at christmas you tell the truth) ZOHRAN IS NOT MY MAYOR

What do I want Democrats to do? If they can't call for the total abolition of ICE and the full prosecution of all its employees for crimes against humanity, what I want them to do is resign or retire.

dunkin has something called "protein milk" that it's offering a deal for on its app with the phrase "Get Your Protein On Us" and it could not possibly be clearer that the internet has ruined my brain

i am going to do this as usual, your likes are not required, because i intend to answer more than the 3-5 questions i would get to answer if i followed that rule

in my basement yelling "I INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT" like michael scott declaring bankruptcy

saw a video making fun of final fantasy fans who gripe about how the series isn't as good as it used to be and the comments were full of final fantasy fans griping about how the series isn't as good as it used to be and while i can recognize why that's funny it doesn't make them any less correct

i do like that this platform is such that i had the ICE account blocked before finding out it existed, let alone had been verified, but wouldn't it be a beautiful sunshiney marshmallow world if we had a platform where that hadn't happened at all it's a foolish dream but still a nice one

will they defend themselves against the fascists weaponizing the federal government against them or will they refuse to take the bait

oh ok neat now just keep turning that dial from "no funding increase" to "funding decrease" alllllll the way over to "abolish ICE" where we should be

there have been three barf-related incidents at Jon’s school in the last few days (that we know of) and also a letter came home that a student has head lice and man kids are just real gross is all

this is the play they run with whenever cops murdering people receives an inconvenient amount of attention, so why mess with a classic

I kept meaning to post this but forgetting check out this picture my son drew of him and his sister a few months ago we have it up on the wall who wouldn’t

sure this *seems* pathetic but you never know, maybe *this* politely worded direct appeal will be the pretty-please that finally reaches him and his heart will grow three sizes and he’ll call off his abduction squads and un-murder the murdered woman and un-flashbang the flashbanged baby

if the enduring aspect of last week's weirdness is me getting tagged when there's dragon quest afoot then *hell yeah 100% worth it* also that link is indeed nearly 350 pages of Good Stuff please note that page 204 appears to be sheet music for "I Shot the Sheriff" what even was this publication

wrestling with having brought new life into the world at this moment is difficult in principle, but in practice each day is a constant sensation of whiplash as I pinball rapidly between watching the country eat itself and performing, if I do say so myself, a fairly decent Elmo impression

i truly don't understand what conclusion one could possibly draw from this apart from that they like what he's doing and want it to continue "it wouldn't have been enough votes to stop it anyway" ok but why on earth would you not still vote against it to show that you're, like....against it

standin (almost)

when he murdered a woman with one hand while filming himself murdering a woman with the other hand the recoil from the gun he murdered a woman with made him hit himself in the tum-tum 😔

i suppose i agree that every question will be answered if the dems do manage to eke out a win under chuck's leadership, it's just that all the answers will be deeply disappointing

was trying to figure out if one of the trails games (daybreak 2) incorporated AI during development, so i googled it, and google's AI answered my question incorrectly via a link to a post about a completely different game, handily encapsulating why i'm opposed to AI in the first place

ok fine I am *positive* AI is a useless resource drain that cheapens art, lowers critical thinking skills, harms mental health, *and* generates revenge and/or child porn while benefiting absolutely no one but the avaricious, sociopathic shitbags ceaselessly forcing it upon us

the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun

not all heroes wear capes; some of them date guys for a month

forgive the self-indulgence but this is one of those "i suddenly have a bunch of new followers" introductory posts (there really aren't all that many but it's still a lot for *me*, in the same way that if you have 3 pancakes and somebody gives you 6 more that is, contextually, a lot of pancakes)

If you’re worried that “protesters getting out of hand” will give the President a reason to implement martial law in an American city, what do you think is happening now? They’re kidnapping and murdering people and the cops are being sent in to arrest people for noise complaints?

embarrassed to admit i hadn't yet deactivated twitter, just locked it down and stopped logging in i find it hard to fully abandon places where i used to write; if livejournal still exists i'm pretty sure mine remains up like a ghost haunting an abandoned mall but twitter's done, and good riddance

I saw a guy take a huge shit in the middle of the sidewalk, so I took a smaller shit right next to it. I attacked everyone who tried to clean up the shits because it was more important to show passersby that the other shit was bigger and grosser than mine. this is a post about the democratic party

in contrast to the *good* democrat responses to government goons murdering women in the street for looking at them funny that i reposted a bit ago here is...whatever one calls this

I reiterate: this this one thousand times

ball

look how easy it is for a democratic representative to address the cold-blooded murder of a mom by a bloodthirsty lunatic employed and armed by the federal government without clumsily pivoting to how republicans aren't doing enough to lower egg prices

the lesson they learned from iraq is you don't even need to hide your desire to plunder a country behind obvious bullshit about WMDs or protecting freedom you can just go "idk drugs or whatever" for a few days and then say "lol we are straight-up plundering this country" into cameras and microphones

yes

… …… ………ok hear me out

refusing to answer the question answers the question

part of the magic of sesame street is it's so effective at being charming and wholesome while also teaching valuable lessons that one doesn't really question why the guy who runs the corner store has brought two children who are not related to him or each other to the dentist

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier
