Our government and our system for populating it with alleged representatives has failed us. But it's even worse than most know or are willing to acknowledge. The story I was taught about who we are as Americans was always bullshit, at least in my lifetime. Not yet sure what to do about it though.

💯

Remember when you told us we were being hysterical the night of the election in 2016? Remember when you told us SCOTUS was gonna be fine? That they wouldnt strip away abortion rights? Remember when we told you they were coming after marginalized communities?

There's no replacement for REAL intelligence and no shortcut to it. You have to do the work.

I Fully Endorse this Idea….

I think influencer culture has replaced community religious participation. Some streamers are basically church leaders. All the trappings are there, from rituals to shared beliefs that often cross into the absurd. Bad behavior is recontextualized and there's even excommunication.

We need our own project with a leader who says "We see you,"the south", trying to"rise again". We're gonna put you back down, and we can do it peacefully or violently. Your choice." But do we have the balls and the conviction of our ancestors? If we don't, we better get em.

trump isn't a king, he's a dementia ridden diaper weight.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Not buying it. Release the Epstein files.

That whole palantir manifesto just straight-up immediately left the news cycle. I'm not hearing anywhere near enough about the epstein files. It's nice that the leaders of the country are too stupid to pull off the thing, but I'd like to see some prison time for the maga pedophiles, thanks.

no one calls you know who the real life brian griffin because he "talks condescendingly about politics". It's because he comes at every subject confidently from a position of great privilege and greater ignorance with absolutely no skin in the game.

I recall Dave Chappelle talking about when he realized The Chappelle Show was contributing to racist attitudes. Now he's surprised his stand-up contributed to anti-trans bigotry. Which minority is next on the chopping block? Or I don't know, hell, maybe apologize and learn?

I'm in my 40's and trans. I've never acted, but I'm a quick study, and I will endure any training/fitness regimen (I solemnly vow!). Make me the next James Bond, and let's tell the story of how James Bond finally decided to tell the world who she really is.

Here's the right answer: the Epstein files weren't released under Biden because not one trump maga sycophant would have believed anything in them. It had to happen under trump so they could see that trump is guilty, and even now the obstruction hasn't convinced them.

If Hungary can free itself from the rule of a corrupt Russian agent, the USA can too.

History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme. The newest stanzas are written in crayon though.

Can every Democratic politician with even a hint of sex crime skeletons in their closets please just dip? Go. Get the fuck out. Be honest, get out. We can't do this shit anymore, the stakes for the whole fucking PLANET are TOO HIGH.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

So, let me see if I have this right… we’ve threatened #genocide on social media, ordered the military to commit #warcrimes (which they refused), tried to reinstate the draft without Congress, and threatened the Pope, all in one week? Those #Epsteinfiles must be even more damning than we think.

Over the last 24 hours I've learned that for some people, words matter, and for other people, intent matters. I don't yet know how to tell the difference, but if I figure that out, I'll make sure to share.

REMOVE HIM IMMEDIATELY.

The world needs to treat the “whole civilization” post as a watershed moment. There was a country called the United States before that post, and there is a different country of the same name after that post. Taking this any less seriously than that invites suffering and ultimately annihilation.

I thought Sunday's "presidential" post was bad, but he really said hold my beer for today's post. This is batshit INSANE. Seriously, AT WHAT POINT is this enough?????

I want to see every Democrat in Congress call for impeachment AND invoking the 25th TODAY. The president is signaling war crimes. The time for lapel pin activism was over 30 fucking years ago. It is time to get LOUD.

This is patently bullshit. The job of the news is to inform people about the state of the world, not to lie. We are so lost in this country, and CBS is giving us bad directions that'll send us off a cliff. How long do you idiots expect your lies to work? www.cbsnews.com/news/upper-m...

Where are they now?

The goal for liberals, progressives and the left should not be to become more effective on X. There is no path towards making that happen. The goal for liberals, progressives and the left should be to destroy X. We could achieve that if we all just left. X needs us. We don't need X.

Pro-tip to the anti-trans folks out there. I'm sure it feels great to remind me I can't get pregnant as a trans woman, a fact with which I am well-acquainted. Just remember, there are lots of women out there who can't get pregnant, and you're telling them they aren't women because of that. Fuck you.

I can't think of a person who seeks to gain and grow an online audience who I would give full faith and trust. Not one. I wouldn't trust most of them as far as I could throw them. All the discourse about influencers is bullshit. Don't become an extension of a narcissist.

NOPE!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Donald Trump raped kids with Jeffrey Epstein no matter how many billions of our taxpayer dollars he wastes or how many bombs he drops in Iran trying to distract us… He never will. Am I right ?! 🤚

Incompetence, chaos, somehow also hope?

It's more important and impactful than ever to stand with your trans loved ones on this Trans Day of Visibility and every day. Also, we've got some pretty raw nerves and some of us are pretty scared and worried, so give us a little grace if we get snippy.

The truth of it.

I just remembered what I felt like in October of 2015 and the contrast with today nearly snapped me in half. I was so care free, just starting to come to terms with some big understandings of myself and where I belong. Now I'm worried all the time.

Spent a little time at the No Kings protest today. It's wonderful to see so many good people out in the streets. I can't say I'm super hopeful these days, but this is a nice bump.

Social media algorithms should be public like ingredient lists and nutrition information. There should always be a prominent link to that information on screen on every social media site.

One trans woman out of 62,000 women athletes over 126 years of the modern Olympics, and no medals. This ban on trans woman isn't about fairness. It never was. It's about politics and pandering. It's about the IOC needing to get in good with the Trump admin.

Oh did you want 3300 words from me on today's IOC sex testing rules? An essay on the nature of evidence and why we can't seem to stop getting stuck in the same traps around sex and gender in sports? Wow lucky you!! www.coyotemedia.org/the-olympics...

Ok, so if it's the smallest margins that matter, then are you tracking the lifetime nutrition of all athletes? What access to training they've ever had? Their socioeconomic status? What about countless other factors that could make the difference?? apnews.com/article/ioc-...

All the shit happening right now with government corruption and the disenfranchisement of the people is what I was told to fear from communism for my entire life. It's amazing how easy it is to plunge a population into ignorance. Immigrants and trans people didn't cause any of this.

Powerful men have fucked up with every move they've made for as long as I can remember. Maybe it's time for humanity to lock the powerful men up and distribute their ill-gotten gains.

If one's stock-in-trade are provably false statements, then one should face consequences such that one takes the time to verify the information one disseminates. The threat of eternal damnation doesn't seem to be enough though, or maybe all these lying fucking "Christians" aren't really Christians?

We're gonna fight a resource war... with ourselves???

And the bar sinks lower, somehow.

Remember how games used to have funky modes like big head mode or wacky crazy colors everywhere mode? Some cheeky dev should do a "dlss5 mode" that just replaces all the faces in the game with yassified versions.

We lost ground to lies, and now we have to play pretend for the ignorant. Maybe this is the way, I don't know, but it sucks how easy it is to exploit the limited knowledge of some humans to make the lives of other humans worse. And for what? www.searchlightinstitute.org/research/the...
