In 1968, during the Democratic National Convention, cops under the command of Democrat mayor Richard J. Daley kicked the shit out of thousands of people protesting Democrat Lyndon Johnson’s prosecution of the Vietnam War. Politicians are here to preserve the system, and you are in their way.

Gavin Newsom is not coming to save you. He has never been coming to save you. He has never even cared about saving you. The only thing Gavin Newsom has ever cared about is Gavin Newsom.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

The real solution for Kickstarter has to include finding alternatives to Stripe. Same goes for all these companies that fold like wet tissues when it comes to defending mature content. STAND UP FOR US!!

That plastic tool that will be on earth forever, but hey, at least that 20 second task now takes only 17 seconds.

New awareness campaign

The thing is... even if Paramount does eventually replace Bari Weiss with someone who actually knows how to run TV news, it's too late. Ellison has shown his hand, has made it clear that he has a very specific ideological agenda he's injecting into these brands.

The Dems will feel really good about being ethically pure as they're lined up against the wall. Politics is bloodsport. It's way past time for people to understand that

We're always skating on thin ice over here with our work since we primarily sell our artists' work online. The only reason that we're able to do it is by the whims of shopify and the credit card processors, and it's always a battle. If you care about porn, smut, and censorship, let kickstarter know

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

go yell at them. you don't need an account help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/req...

Remember this next time you hit a pothole on your bike or see an unhoused person having a mental health crisis on the blue line. This is what the city has money for, not anything that actually improves lives.

Hey man, win some lose some, I’m just glad the Democratic Party did the monumentally important work of denouncing twitch streamer Hasan Piker

the GOP laid the foundations for this from the 60s to the 2000s, they are reaping decades of organizing work. it will take decades of work to take it back from them. it will take the rest of your life.

that's the democrats i know and love, baby roll over and play dead!

Now Chicago Police are shutting down the Expressway without advanced notice? How many people will miss flights because of this? This is ridiculous. Seems unlikely that any public official will have the courage to speak up to criticize a police funeral. The worst parts of our system laid bare.

it is genuinely fucking insane the level of flex the cpd throws around for stuff like this and the city just lets it happen. it is total nonsense to shut down traffic like this and burn a fuck ton of tax payer money for cops to stand around it.

It would be so cool if people understood 3 things! 1. Far more people stayed home apathetically on Election Day than actively didn't vote for Harris for leftist reasons. 2. It is the politician's literal JOB to motivate people to vote for them.

3. Research has been done, numbers have been crunched, & it's more effective to galvanize people to actually get out & vote than to try to win over moderates (but mainstream Dems won't do this cos they don't want to enact policies that would actually effect much-needed change for working people).

the basic logic of plessy — that the constitution has no bearing on social inequality — undergirds every roberts court ruling on the state’s ability to deal with the effects of racism from parents involved to calais.

Leaked LAPD records reveal officers in fireworks blast received only brief suspensions. Good get from @liborjany.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

IN OUR HANDS WE HOLD A POWER GREATER THAN THEIR HOARDED GOLD. GREATER THAN THE MIGHT OF ARMIES MAGNIFIED A THOUSAND FOLD. WE CAN BRING TO BIRTH A NEW WORLD FROM THE ASHES OF THE OLD. FOR THE UNION MAKES US STRONG!

To the surprise of no one...

Worth remembering that, among his many other evils, Newsom's fortune and businesses were extensively bankrolled by Gordon Getty — his father was an attorney and fixer for Getty Oil — and that his first major move in politics was cutting aid to homeless people. The gentry, y'all.

It's an understudied element of our media environment that Republicans can insult Democrats in any way they see fit, regardless of propriety or truth value, without repercussion, but Dems are consistently forced to use measured tones to describe Republicans no matter how outrageous their actions.

My conclusions were made seconds after I saw a headline but it's good to know the facts.

Me and my friends would've killed Claude with hammers, I can tell you that much.

Only on r/EDH can a post with 55,000 views and over 100 upvotes and excellent feedback and discussion in the comments be removed for being “low effort”

It's important that people understand that you do not need to be in the adult industry to join the credit union. SOME CUs are like this but I highly doubt this one would be. I currently use the Boeing Employee's Credit Union as my bank but I am not and have never been a Boeing employee. FILL IT OUT!

This 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 we are aware of….

"sure you might disagree with 10% of her views..."

If people who agree with YOU on 90% of YOUR beliefs, but are (right or wrong) unmovable on the 10% where you disagree, have repeatedly shown they won't budge on it and are, right or wrong, willing to lose over it, why is it NEVER on YOU to go to THEM? Especially if "we have to win" is ur whole pitch

I think the mistake here is assuming that Booker is trying to drum up votes. I think he's trying to juice donations from people who are already in the tank, because frankly I'm no longer convinced that these types really care about anything else.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win. These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

"I revere the State of Israel" "I'm proud to support the State of Israel" ~Gavin Newsom during a genocide

For the record, the Nazis are spreading terms like “zio” and “zog” into leftist spaces intentionally as an on-ramp to fascism. This is what cryptofascism means. They explicitly talk about doing this on their forums and telegram channels. You’re being played.

The best thing about "wokeness" is that it's anti-democratic. Boycotts and distributed social sanction apply pressures *without* a majority. Instead of one-person-one-vote, people with greater stake and/or altruistic commitment can punch harder than those without. This is why politicians hate it.

Hey @cisco.com the certificate on one of your CDN servers for Cisco U expired. Can you fix it?

they're fucking proud of it, actually, they think it owns that they can be cocktail party friends with nazis: that, to them, is the hallmark of a "healthy democracy"

every time you post that Dems are like this people call you deranged and probably a GOP troll even though Dems barely try to hide that they're like this

SubscribeStar has updated their Content Policies. And it's not great. This all is related again to Mastercard/Visa running the show and yanking everyones chains to try and banish the existence of porn.

On top of this being counterproductive, they will spend at least what, $5M on personnel alone to "save" a $50M grant, plus I assume several million more on gates, plus associated law enforcement pensions, legal/court/jail costs, and so on All bc placating the Trump Admin will work THIS time?

i regret to inform you that the US has been doing assassinations pretty much continuously since at least the 60s

If I had a dollar for every person who asks how defense attorneys sleep at night, I’d be able to pay my student loans. If I had a dollar for every person who asks how prosecutors sleep at night, I could maybe buy a pack of gum. Broken society.

If you get into a “who can cut taxes more” battle with the GOP, you’re going to lose because they are far more shameless and antagonistic to the idea of living in a functioning society. Don’t concede to their framing that taxes are nothing but a problem to be solved.
