America is not a democracy

I see people acting like they’re safe from this harassment blighting the industry because they “don’t do political stuff, or representation stuff, or—“ Don’t you get it? *You* don’t decide that. They do. Their job is to scour your existence for any label that might suitably rile up their audience.

I have constructed a very simple and badly formatted flowchart so that liberals can understand the position of leftists on the Democratic party

Well, damn, definitely not going to any tokusatsu cosplay meet-ups at Anime Expo this year. The guy running both the Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai meet-ups on Thursday and Sunday is a huge Vic stan who's kinda screamed about me online more than once. Both blocks link back to his Discord.

The “should be” they don't care about is, no joke, that no Dem candidates should be defending Israel’s genocide in Gaza Blue MAGA still hasnt learned..

All right, this just came across my radar, and it is *brilliant*. You won't find a better or more compact explanation for [waves hands] all of this. This is the skeleton key.

Weird that people keep getting banned for factually pointing out that Aaron Rodericks was caught doing this

The thing is that Williard Stancil *knows* exactly what he's done wrong. He's been told. Dozens, if not hundreds of times. And every time, he either ignores the people telling him or calls them mentally ill freaks. The "everybody's canceling me but won't tell me what for" thing is a charade.

These people are so fucking weird. You could already select female. That option did not go away. You were mad that there was another option, for other people, unrelated to you. You spent years just seething that someone else could select an option on a dropdown menu. How do you live like this?

Did you guys hear about Will Stancil leaking the Tinder ICE Honey Trap details just to take credit for the work done by women for months (ruining the entire operation by doing so)?

been saying for years that the logical endpoint of blue no matter who is supporting a nazi running as a democrat and everyone called me a loony but here we are aren't we

Yeah this. But also with alt text. But yes. That is not how consent works. That is trying to weaponize their disgust.

gee, wonder why would people call you a transphobe

The fact that the US Secretary of Health denies that pathogens cause disease should always be a much bigger story

The section that the Guardian censored… By Prof Judith Butler

I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on

In the 1980s, the UK media responded to an increase in visibility/support of gay people with a relentless, well-funded, Right-Wing campaign against gay rights, and when support went down, allowing Thatcher to bring in Section 28, the media turned around and blamed gay people for demanding too much.

Jesse Singal is back on his transphobic bullshit by arguing that the trans rights backlash is self-inflicted and that anyone pointing to coordinated right-wing funding is peddling a "conspiracy theory." It's a masterclass in false dichotomy and victim blaming. archive.ph/ZD74X

Anyways, my favorite fact about George Washington is that he stole his slaves’ teeth.

Slavery was actually pretty awesome. Sure, people were beaten a lot and couldn’t leave, but it was all worth it for a night at the theater.

thinking about this on the eve of nuclear apocalypse as the on line libs bravely defend the inaction of public officials by yelling at communists on blue sky dot app

What was normalized in Gaza will have lasting effects on the entire world. It was a signal to the worst of humanity that they can get away with even livestreamed genocide. And we see that very genocide expanding today, and Trump joining in not under cover like Biden, but front & center.

1. A new study claims trans care worsens mental health. It is fatally flawed. It didn't measure mental health—it measured psych visits. Even visits that stemmed from mandatory checkins, surgical pre-psych evals, or pre-treatment that was classified as post. Subscribe to support our journalism.

i am extremely confident this is going to work. also, unrelated, but should i go to hospital brain is bleeding

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

yet again, i am reminding you all that you don't hate the New York Times enough, you just think you do.

If you've seen this piece before, "The New American Gothic" by Criselda Vasquez, Then heartbreakingly, I have to inform you that—according to Vasquez's Instagram as of 4/03/26—Vasquez's father has been taken by ICE. GoFundMe below to help financially support their family.

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

The solve for "Sometimes when a service like free childcare is available to all, marginalized communities get squeezed out," is "Address that racism." It's not "Therefore waste incredible amounts of time and money trying to means test something that society should just make available to all.🤡"

yep, this is a case of hegseth wanting a whites-only military bsky.app/profile/nanc...

it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

i annoy demsoc adjecent liberals by being correct too early and they annoy me by being correct too late

Hard pass. These "won't someone PLEASE think of the children!" bills are always just Trojan horses for censorship of online speech. First it's "oh it's protecting the kids", then it's banning LGBTQ content because it's not "child appropriate" or whatever. Do not support bills like this, please.

From @jayapal.house.gov: “I warned Biden and Harris directly: Our silence on Gaza was morally, legally, and politically wrong. We were told it wasn't in the data. That wasn't strategy – it was risk aversion dressed up as wisdom. Democrats cannot make that same mistake again this midterm season.”

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

If you say something this racist it’s actually morally ok for someone to beat the living shit out of you

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

I think those who are doing so with full knowledge of the harm, and with lots of choice. Yes. Those with a profile, who have a lot of choice over what gigs they take, not those doing so simply to survive, obviously have culpability.

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.

Yet another reason why KOSA (and its ilk) are inherently queerphobic laws and anyone who supports them - from either party! - needs to be run out of office yesterday.

It was always about killing women for daring not to be brood mothers.

Over 15,000 civilian sites have been destroyed in Iran and 1444 people killed 30% of whom are children
