If the military doesn’t refuse illegal orders and decides to shoot us I better not be asked to stand and applaud in public for those meatheads ever again

Gathered signatures today. Fuck the MO legislature and their insistence on undoing every good thing the people vote on. Wish you could choke on evil.

Nihilist men have learned school shootings don't get the attention they used to. Political ones, on the other hand, those really pay. It's (at least partially) as easy as that.

Watching Kimmel. The intro was solid, acknowledged the pressure he's under. But the stuff about Kirk was cringe. It's not about him and a teary digression into the gusherman.

This is personal to me. My dad worked his entire life but still couldn't afford the care he needed, and delayed going to the doctor at the cost of his own life.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

#WATCH | The moment Head of the Palestinian mission to the UK, Husam Zomlot, watches Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s televised address announcing Britain’s formal recognition of the State of Palestine, 108 years after the Balfour Declaration and nearly two years into Israel’s genocide on Gaza

I find the brouhaha over lists or sign ups for protests pretty uninformed. Unless you've lived under a rock, you have some social media and medical presence. The Government wants a list of trans (etc) people, all they have to do is lean on a data aggregator or two.

Yesterday, I was proud to stand with fellow veterans and peace advocates in Tampa, calling for an end to endless war spending and a refocus on caring for our communities here at home. If you’re ready for real change, stand for action and fight for results with us: KinterForCongress.com

The fact that I'm certain that many writers on esteemed papers would have no idea what this refers to....just let old media die.

Elected officials are the chosen officers of the people, they carry a democratic mandate, they are oath-sworn to uphold the Constitution, which makes civil disobedience by them potent in a way private citizens are not.

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

NGL had no idea who Redford is/was and after seeing his pictures I guess he was cute but y'all need to calm down

Stop pretending they see you as human when they see you as an ant to be squashed.

We've got event listings on mobilize now for people looking for a place to sign! #Missouri #moleg #mogov #respectMOvoters

The consolidation of rich owners around fascism continues.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

All the liberals arguing we should respect the dead, meanwhile fascists getting people fired for quoting him. Should have normalized laughing at his gusher moment. Bad people dying is good, actually.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

Head shaped like a gusher 💀

Externally incoherent political ideology + brainrot are essential to modern right-wing propaganda and power consolidation. And of course gaming gets pulled into it all, because in many ways the winds lifting these sails started there...Gamer Gate and trolling for trolling's sake.

POV: You're with thousands of Missourians who believe people, not politicians, should have power in our state! ❤️💙 💪 @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social @mojwjva.bsky.social @moworkers.org @aclumo.bsky.social @abortionaction.bsky.social Full 📷: www.facebook.com/ProgressMiss...

Always bet on right-on-right violence first. The folks thinking this was a Fuentes vs Kirk thing are looking more and more right.

Smells like rightie infighting in the morning.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

I saw this and was like, hmm yeah it'd be interesting to compare the two statements....and now after searching I'm like wait did he really not issue a statement for hortman at all?? That's wild

It's surreal how every big media outlet is going out of its way to pretend that this extremist bigot was a respectable mainstream voice.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

I don’t disagree with the point being made here, but also they do this like every three weeks. They were calling for Civil War about the Cracker Barrel logo.

counterpoint: these exact same losers say the exact same thing every time anybody talks back or puts a girl in a video game or whatever so i don't think the liberal urge to performatively flinch at the canned backlash is a useful reflex in 2025

"Maybe if we're super nice and respectful the nazis will decide not to murder us in the streets" that's how stupid you sound right now

Bruh all the dems and dem-associated pundits saying political violence is bad while the fascists are already braying for blood. The assassination of two politicians in Michigan didn't wake these dumb fucks up; it's sadly hilarious to see them double-down on this messaging to nowhere.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

...we can get this close? 👀

Are the alpha males fighting?

Christian horror is just US political news.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

The DNC should have paid attention to Free Palestine before it become Free Chicago.

The "one big trick" that every aspiring authoritarian in the 20th century has learned is that you don't have to get people to agree with everything you say, you just have to get them to mistrust anything that anyone other than you says. Widespread cynicism is corrosive to democracy.

I recently visited an ICE detention center with @ravenreveals.bsky.social just outside of Chicago. Kidnapping people off the streets isn’t keeping us any more safe. Let’s close this facility and all the other ones like it down.

After the fecklessness and cowardice of Comey, Mueller, and Garland, the bravery and leadership of these women comes as the biggest breath of fresh air.

Missouri consistently votes for dogshit politicians while voting for solid policies that the dogshit politicians overturn. This would help change the state constitution to make it harder to overturn laws passed by ballot initiative.

Lfg, this is great news for the greens

Still not a drag queen

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

i'm sure a lot of people don't agree, but the excitement around zohran is the same excitement i saw around obama. which isn't to discourage excitement. but never marry yourself to a politician. date politicians; marry ideas.
