Like Charlie Brown and that fucking football man

Been feeling real rough lately about *gestures broadly* and I went to see @willicarlisle.bsky.social tonight and I’ve been dragged back to hope by music (and puppets doing class war?) so thank you Willi

The only way I remember the difference between cations and anions is that I feel very positively about cats

PP ceasing abortions would increase demand at Wisconsin's two independent abortion clinics—both in Milwaukee—or force patients to travel. Wisconsin doesn’t allow telemedicine for abortion pills, though people can obtain them virtually from clinicians in other states under so-called “shield” laws

Donate to your local indie clinic. They’re always the last ones to stay open and stay fighting when PP runs away with its tail between its legs.

Also, the Ohio Democratic Party has repeatedly run “moderate” bland white men and they lose every time. Meanwhile, the abortion and cannabis ballot initiatives were incredibly successful.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

“Bitin’ List” arrived at exactly the right time because this shit is making me fucking feral

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

Opinion | Democrats need to meet Republicans in the middle. Perhaps it’s time for abundance fascism.

Charlie Kirk was a bad person and his death is cause for celebration, writes journalist Evan Urquhart. Read our very special free speech edition of Assigned Media. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Today, Planned Parenthood's CEO confirmed the organization considered a plan that would have allowed some affiliates to stop providing abortion care to preserve Medicaid eligibility, as Autonomy News reported in June. The organization previously called our reporting "false" and "misleading."

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

He died doing what he loved: blaming America’s gun violence problem on minorities.

TIL Charlie Kirk is (was) younger than me. I dunno how old I thought he was but if you’d asked me a day ago I would have said 36 minimum

I'm harnessing the unprecedented power of AI to forget how to read and develop a severe mental illness that makes me unrecognizable to those who once knew me.

Got some real Management Brain issues in repro yall. I’ve seen too many good people fall victim to it. 🙏

Most red states are just violently gerrymandered states. AND — as I’ve said before and will say again — if you genuinely care about liberation, you want liberation for EVERYONE. Freedom is not to be hoarded.

In Detroit to see a band and they’re playing a venue where people both put up and rip down DSA stickers in the bathroom, so I think it’s my kinda place

Idea for a late night talk show game: Weed Strain or Fancy Racehorse?

Anyone pointed out this was something QAnon was laying the ground for for years? One ofheir core beliefs was Trump was an insider working to take the evil elites down. It was always stupid—the logic Q people buy is “your honor I was only pretending to rape kids”—but that’s what it was.

we predict cleveland’s browns will have great movement, be well managed, and finish much better than they started. as for the football team we are less certain.

That the people with the best understanding of how and why the work is done are usually the lowest-paid, front-line workers.

Babysitting for $4 an hour, then my first on-the-books job was waiting tables at a nursing home for whatever minimum wage was at the time 😂

a pretty good summary of the 21st century is that the humiliation of america's defeats in the middle east post-9/11 curdled into a reactionary politics that seeks affirmation in the humiliation of anyone who is an other: liberals, minorities, the global south, china, europe, whoever.

My ex probably uses ChatGPT oh god

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

This makes it sound like you can’t walk into any normal grocery store in America and have multiple options for soft white sandwich bread (Also hilarious because you know who makes a lot of sourdough? Trad wives!)

Demanding your leaders respect everyone's basic human rights isn't really much of a "purity test," and calling it that says some bad things about you as a person.

I just hope when IT happens I’m in Cleveland, I’ve been in Columbus too much lately and I wanna be with the fine people of Cleveland when we celebrate

Sometimes I forget my friends aren’t as online as me and I was talking about when IT happens and they thought I meant, like, getting engaged or something

dear white people, this includes: - thanking them at suburban protests - giving them a polite wave when crossing the street in front of them - giving them free food at restaurants - smiling at them in uniform make them feel hated make them feel like they dont belong make them feel bad dont be nice

🚨RELEASE: Journalists at Signal Ohio (Akron, Cleveland, Columbus) are unionizing! With 80% support, they’ve launched the Signal Ohio News Workers Guild with @neohionewsguild.bsky.social. They’re calling on management to recognize their union. ✊#SaveLocalNews newsguild.org/release-sign...

And some of the employees they’re planning to lay off are the patient navigators. I do practical support work for abortion seekers so I KNOW how critical the nav team is. PPGOH is shooting themselves in the foot—without the abortion funding the navs organize, many patients will go elsewhere.

if you’re looking for a sign today….. do the wordle….. #iykyk

i’m so goddamned sick of centrists man. this idiotic tendency to insist that it’s a narcissism of small differences when it’s clearly not. just admit we’re enemies this is taking fucking forever!!!!

I also want to ban “holding space” but damn

Ok they really honored Cleveland with the Superman movie I love it

this is what happens to your brain when you keep your house at 90 degrees at all times

Im so tired

*loading pierogies in a slingshot to defend Cleveland from ICE*

Talk about having your phone volume up all the way on the bus all you want but real ones know the place to broadcast your TikTok FYP is the abortion clinic waiting room

I have officially seen the most cursed item on FB Marketplace (Free People Harry Potter Diaper Bag, $50)

Pet peeve: when people continue to use “they” for someone who has stated different pronouns.

Niemöller was a Nazi. He fought in the Freikorps. He was a willing participant in the Third Reich because he had sought and received assurances from Hitler himself that the Nazis would not go after Protestants. Then he ended up in a Camp. He was wrong. That’s why he wrote the poem.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
