KOSA is now in red alert priority. Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA We need to turn out in numbers against this!

these bills are quite strong individually but as a group they’d combine to make california so much safer for trans people of all ages, cis californians who follow me please take a literal minute of your day to call Newsom and demand he not leave us to the wolves (bill numbers are in linked post)

if you want to hear a bunch of adults talk about good guys and bad guys with no irony whatsoever just ask cops

THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy Fallon would absolutely tell the authorities where you were hiding.

northern lights are out in sitka 🤩

Bluesky automoderation every time it sees a boob:

Under my administration we captured 3 gray aliens and 2 green

I want a poster version of this for my house.

the right has always had a love-hate relationship with actually-existing communism. they admire and envy the vulgar displays of state power that they wish they could replicate like knows like and sometimes the right can see past the red paint to recognize their own authoritarian aspirations

“We have to be the consequence” exactly !!!!!! Stop saving them from themselves!

Pretty soon they're not gonna have any cover for just being an org dedicated to defending the israeli state

Another lesson is understanding that there‘s no negotiating with people that don’t see you as human. You just make their lives very hard.

fuck the yankees lmao

1/ The FCC has no authority to police content for bias or balance. We—and more than seventy other organizations and scholars—warned FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. techfreedom.org/wp-content/u...

I’m declaring war on you, please don’t hurt my feelings with your words

I would simply not vote for the guy who ruins everything he touches economically but I guess I'm not a farmer

This is the thing they'll never understand about "wokeness" or "political correctness" - huge organizations didn't implement these policies because of "cancel culture" or secret communists, they did it to stay competitive and viable. It's what people wanted

increasingly i think that congressional leadership actually knows he will just j6 them if they piss him off too much and they are too chickenshit to force him to do it, so we're living as if he's already done it

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

extremely Father What-a-waste voice: "it doesn't matter how bad you are, Jesus still looks at you and posts WOULD. this is the word of the lord"

"Well, yes, the ACLU does make a strong, reasoned principled point, but readers should also consider Jesus's view of the internet." Cincinnati Enquirer really bothsidesing the age-verification debate. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The Governor of North Dakota knows the age-verification law he signed doesn't work. He doesn't care. Porn is still easily accessible online, including to minors. Meanwhile, North Dakotans trying to access Bluesky are forced to show their papers.

Talking to people younger than me about how I beat Battletoads on NES & they CANNOT conceive of a world in which the internet doesn't exist. "So you just sat down, & played Battletoads ALL day, REPEATEDLY, until you memorized the entire game...?" "yes ."

There is literally video of it happening.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

Call your dickhead senator pls thank you

Real quick just want to remind everyone that Graham Linehan is a deranged bigot

These guys believe men are the default and so anything that isn't about men is a deviation from the norm. It's a version of their peers who get mad at superhero movies with female leads. Masculinity is seen as "neutral," while femininity is seen as "political."

This is a fascist regime lying about the illegal brutal violence their secret police force is committing against the press.

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Democrats are being asked to fund a government that just openly pledged to use the military to murder Democrats

Having an incredible time guessing who is who here

Nothing you can possess is more valuable than your integrity and it's appalling how many people are willing to give it away for a little professional or social gain.

Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

It's actually insane to me that people in this regime had the gall to claim that "Christianity was under siege" before they learned the identity of the LDS church attacker while also deporting Christians back to a country where they will be persecuted because they aren't white. It's galling.

the Japanese have a saying

It's 2AM & I'm watching anime that look & sound like this.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

one thing that unites the lunatics here and in israel is how any kind of rejection makes them insanely furious. israelis have made themselves a pariah nation in real time and are collectively wetting their national diaper about it. and so much of american reaction is driven by a sense of rejection

My hot take is that the truly awful stuff emerges when utilitarianism & longtermism mix. Once you're thinking in terms of min/maxing good vs bad & extrapolate into the future, compounding butterfly effect implies totalitarianism to stop doom. Antidote is knowing n-order consequences are unmodelable

"Movements that abandon core supporters in pursuit of mythical moderate voters often end up with neither. Energy drains away, activists stay home, and the authentic moral voice gets replaced by calculated positioning that convinces no one." data4democracy.substack.com/p/you-cant-e...

Dems showed us who they are in the months after Dobbs leaked and they did both fuck all and jack shit. Their total inability to capitalize on "the opponent is a convicted felon" is magnified by the fact that Dobbs was May of 2022. They had over 2 years *after* that clusterfuck to figure shit out.
