I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

Malaysia and Indonesia become the first countries to block Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, after authorities said it was being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

On January 11th & 15th,Romans celebrated a festival to goddess Carmenta (or Carmentis) a goddess of prophecy and childbirth.She had power of looking back into the past and forward into the future.The festival was chiefly observed by women #Folklore #Myth www.vindolanda.com/blog/the-fes...

Jasmine crying talking about the murder of Renee Good and their only concern is that she dropped the f bomb WTF 🤬🤬 youtube.com/shorts/_XbgH...

All across the country, we want to give a huge shout-out to everyone who showed up, organized, and stood together in the streets Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles,

The Trump regime is filled with women hating, angry men who I’m sure admire the Taliban. They’d love to see women dressed in handmaid clothing, stripped of all rights and totally subservient to the men in their lives. At one time I would have thought this was unthinkable, not now!

Exactly! Ragey men with guns do this shit every day in America. In domestic violence situations and in law enforcement situations. Remember Breonna Taylor, shot in her own home while she was doing nothing but minding her own business? ENOUGH OF PISSED OFF, POWER-HUNGRY, COWARDLY MEN WITH GUNS!!!

We know from domestic violence statistics that men will not hesitate to murder women when they are filled with their own existential panic of abandonment. We are in the collapsing failure of patriarchy and we are facing profound risk. Men. Women will lead us out of this. We need your help.

See you out there today. Abolish ICE!! ✊

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

Imagine if women shot men every time they (actually) feared for their lives. Imagine if women shot men every time they felt disrespected by a man.

There’s a flashback scene in one of the episodes of Handmaid’s Tale where June is told at a cafe that she is no longer able to access her own bank account. Based on current events, I can’t help thinking that the USA is about 6 months away from this.

So many brilliant debut albums from 1976. "Dreamboat Annie" by Seattle's very own Wilson sisters, aka #Heart, is no exception. A gig opening for Rod Stewart broke them across Canada where the album was recorded. America followed suit on the strength of "Crazy on You" and the title track.

US vetoes most Ethiopian athletes for the World Crosscountry Championships in Florida by denying their visas. Ethiopia will be unable to record a team result in either the U20 men’s or U20 women’s races, ending its 44-year medal streak. I’m sure the Olympics and World Cup are going to be fine. 😡

From defending a lack of gun laws due to fears of a future tyrannical government to defending the government murdering a mother of 3 over an attempted three-point turn. Incredible stuff.

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries. Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots. Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

Pop was a law enforcement officer. He knew most of the local police in the town we lived in. When I got my license at 16, he told me "Don't push these assholes, Tim. They're little men who are looking for a reason to hurt people. Do what they say. These fuckers peeked in high school." Today's ICE.

DON'T FORGET ‼️

It’s been said that Fascism happens “slowly at first, then all at once.” Does anyone have any doubts about which phase we’re in right now?

I tell you what, guys. If you want to do numbers, be a non-American and post about American gun laws. Madness will come your way. Deranged madness. Also, a lot of decent folks who know we, the rest of the world where we don’t have regular massacres of innocents, are right. The futility of it all.

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five. There are four lights. This is not a post about Star Trek.

I hope I'm not alienating any of my followers when I say that the Democratic Party is completely fucking useless as opposition.

The President of the United States is a child rapist. His victims deserve justice.. release all of the Trump Epstein files

Good. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

CNN in Minneapolis: You can literally see someone is playing on the drum set right here outside the entrance of the hotel right now.

This newly discovered Iron Age instrument may have been played in the Celtic resistance against the Roman Empire

The rise of globalism correlates with the problems of that order also being global. Just because you’re not the US doesn’t mean you’re safe from the same trap of fascism as pretty much every nation-state ever.

I’m kind of over the whole “America is bad, at least my country is good” as if the rise of a xenophobic right wing isn’t a broadly Western problem and every country tut-tutting about the US’s fall doesn’t have a failing neoliberal order constantly in tug-of-war with The Racism Party

These have always been the narrative tools to deny victimhood in families, communities, institutions, and groups big and small. But now they have been informed by social media, its scale and mediums, and now the state has adopted this refined cultural playbook for its own violence.

I think about how online audiences have been trained to look for reasons that victims are actually the villains, to recast them as the perpetrators, and how these are the same narratives the state uses to ensure the mechanism of patriarchy—violence, abuse, and murder—continue with impunity.

I think about how much people wanted Amber Heard dead, how they fantasized about putting her baby in a microwave, and how they cheered on Depp for taunting her bisexuality and domestic partnership with a woman before she met him. That was how the abuse started, and people believed she deserved it.

There are so many unmistakable patterns that have reached a violent apex in this case. The way algorithms and audiences hyperfixate on white women who can be smeared via DARVO tactics, the way video can be framed against victims, the way conservatives leverage post-MeToo rage and narratives.

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

yeah. I had to unfollow so many “leftist creators” that called for the girl who was assaulted by a costumer on DoorDash to be arrested. Like have some common sense you dip shits (I’m in my rage era if you couldn’t tell, I hold grudges, I’ll heal in hell)

Thinking about how Megan Thee Stallion was told "dance, bitch," as she was being shot by Tory Lanez. Thinking about all the stories of women being sexually abused, beaten, or murdered who were dehumanized with misogynistic slurs during the violence. But the left & right agree on misogynistic slurs.

Every person who has lectured me that bitch isn't a slur, it isn't misogynistic, it isn't that serious, I'm overly sensitive, etc, has protected men dehumanizing women to normalize violence against them. Wake up or stop pretending to be horrified & saddened by violence against women.

I'm not sure how many more times we need to see/hear about violent men calling women "bitch" as they assault & even murder them before we accept that misogynistic slurs aren't neutral.

Reps. Khanna & Massie to ask judges for official to oversee release of Epstein files. "'...we’re now going to be intervening with the Southern District of New York to ask those judges to appoint a special master and ensure that all the documents are released.’" www.commondreams.org/news/khanna-...

Exactly. Saying she was a fucking bitch is proof it was dominance. I think most men take those jobs for domination.

He wanted to dominate her & nothing was going to be enough short of dragging her from that car, assaulting her, & making her feel thoroughly dominated & violated. Law enforcement are just domestic abusers with state authority.

This is what women face from men in private life too. If they fawn, they're blamed & he'll kill her anyway. If they show no fear, he'll be offended & kill her anyway. If she matched his aggression, he'd be more outraged & kill her anyway.

This is an important point with regards to when we comment on women being abused, women fawning, that she do *tough guy thing* or she should show him she's not afraid. Good did show him she wasn't afraid. She was also incredibly calm & kind. He killed her anyway because he's a violent misogynist.

They didn’t just hate Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Gretchen Whitmer, and Kamala Harris. They hate me. They hate you. They hate any woman who isn’t performing attractive feminine submission for their pleasure.

I helped strike language from a key spending bill that would’ve shielded Bayer from legal accountability. But the fight is far from over. SCOTUS must now weigh in. Bayer is lobbying hard to stop states from putting warning labels on Roundup. This isn't about politics. It's about right and wrong.

This is what Dem leaders need to understand. The murder yesterday and the shootings today in Portland are the result of POLICY. This is exactly what they intend. If you collaborate with the GOP in any way, blood is on your hands too.
