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...

I'm pretty sure we're seeing polling manipulation now in mainstream news. There is no shot that 65% of democrats favor requiring photo ID to vote, but it isn't so hard to choose who you poll these days. Whatever. My right to vote isn't negotiable; whoever denies me that right does so at their peril.

Anti-trans amendments are being added to the "SAVE" act so that democrats are on record voting against "common sense" anti-trans legislation. "So you want men playing in women's sports? So you want children mutilated in trans surgeries?" It's the sort of bigotry that plays well to the ignorant.

We must never stop talking about the Epstein Files. We must never stop talking about the Epstein Files. We must never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what.

Reminder: the right-wing arguments against abortion are all bullshit. They just want to control women, treat women as their property, not as human beings. That's all. That's it. There's nothing "moral" or "pro-life" about the anti-abortion position. You have a right to your own body. Period.

The "SAVE" Act is all about making it harder for the people to vote, because the politicians know we aren't happy with their destructive, wasteful, and STUPID actions since 2008, and we're coming for them and their rich handlers in the midterms and beyond. Don't let them disenfranchise YOU!

I've been wondering whether people would rather live in a better world that they believe is worse, or a worse world that they believe is better. I think the latter wins every time, and I think we live in the worse world that a whole helluva lot of people were brainwashed to believe would be better.

How do we shake awake the American animal that's stuck in a dream written and directed by enemies of freedom and democracy? How do we wake up and stop this destructive and wasteful episode in our history? None of this is necessary!

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

Remember these women? Have you been too distracted to think of them? That’s what they’re hoping you’ll do-forget about them. Please don’t. Demand all the files, investigation and prosecution. Justice delayed is justice denied.

I don't know if there's any good reason to connect the dots on this, but I get some sense that someone somewhere is thinking about how America flourished after a massive war, and that person or people think the conditions that created that prosperity can be reassembled. They cannot and should not.

I remember a version of me with a clearer mind and faster thoughts. I'm older, but I don't think that's what's affecting my mind. It's trauma. It's the scar tissue of old trauma colliding with the present moment that's full of all the hate and ignorance I thought I escaped when I left home at 15.

Epstein files, release them. ICE, abolish them. What the fuck happened? Did the media just forget these things? Is there just too much to remember? What the fuck happened to my country?

Ahem... DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. DON'T STOP CALLING FOR THE RELEASE OF THE EPSTEIN FILES. DON'T STOP DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS OF EPSTEIN'S WORLDWIDE HUMAN TRAFFICKING NETWORK. DONT' STOP CALLING FOR THE PROSECUTION OF TRUMP AND THE REST OF THE EPSTEIN CLASS OF PEDOPHILES

Who do you even talk to about any of this? I don't have money to give a therapist. I just have to sit here being complicit in the murder of little girls in Iran. Every second I spend working funnels more money to the monsters running the USA. What in the fuck do I do? I don't want any of this.

Democracy is dying in America. ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous. We need real leaders - not career politicians.

America handed a criminal idiot the full power of the United States to run from his crimes. Everything happening right now is that. This destructive administration must end.

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE it will result in dead trans people and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing you see the pipeline right? we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

A truly representative government would act as the people will it to act, and the people and their government would face the consequences of bad decisions and reap the rewards of good decisions. In the USA, the people face the consequences and the government steals the rewards. This can't go on.

🎯🎯

If the whole maga movement doesn't simply crumble, it will have to rely on fear and violence, because it isn't making life better for anyone. Not for any person. Even trump is not having a good time, and he's supposedly in charge!

US Congress, rein in the orange idiot. He shouldn't be allowed to take 10 billion dollars from the people without consent, so you have to stop him. You have the power of the purse, and he's clearly a losing proposition now. If you care about your own asses, you'll do what we say, not what he says.

This. Every damn bit of it.

Wow.

Worth a watch: youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

By all accounts, russia is a failure on the world stage. It's bananas that we ever let it infiltrate us. I remember thinking and saying that fox news was the propaganda wing of the republican party, but I was wrong. Fox news is just a satellite station of the kremlin and the clown that runs it.

Epstein files, NOW.

I'm not shy with my criticism of ICE on any of the platforms that are being subpoenaed for information about people like me. I won't be intimidated by a bunch of slack-jawed morons who are so desperate to be cool they're burning the world down. I'm too tired to be afraid anymore.

It's hard to want to work towards perpetuating the US's version of capitalism. There's so much stuff that I have wanted that I don't think I would ever have wanted if it hadn't been installed into my pattern by advertisements. How much better off would the planet be without these artificial desires?

Right there is an open RFI for potential mining leases out of Alaska: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... and for an exploration license in the CCZ: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... Both want public comments.

Don't fuck with my vote. Don't do it. It's the last line. The discipline it takes to get up every day and get on with life in the face of the destruction of my future by morons and liars, it's barely sustainable. Don't fuck with my vote.

The lies the man tells…

All you're doing is teaching young people to keep secrets from you and then break away as soon as they can. Everything you say will be seen as suspect. You're building a stupid wall between generations, but I expect nothing less from the likes of Cass. www.bbc.com/news/article...

That feeling, when you're on a team and the work is humming along and then someone posts progress for a model, or an animation, or some shading work, and EVERYONE is amazed and the emojis are flowing and everyone feels a little pride to be a part of it... that just doesn't happen for "AI" projects

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

bondi's gnashing of teeth today is just more evidence of the desperation at the heart of trump's administration. We must keep pushing for the full release of the epstein files, and at our first opportunity, throw every one of these fascist kid fuckers in prison.

How is it not enough that the trump DOJ flat out won't release the unredacted (except for victims) epstein files? For anyone on the right, I'm wondering what COULD cause them to withdraw support if pedophile protection isn't a red line.

How we did things as a country for my entire life took us from having more broad access to prosperity than every before to... the gates of hell on Earth. There are those who want to "go back" to some version of America from the last 40 years. We'll just end up here again. We have to change, but how?

We don't have all of the epstein files. Every new cache we do get is worse than the previous, despite the obstructive redactions. It stands to reason that the worst is yet to come.

Reality has handed us all the villains on a silver fucking platter. If justice is a real thing, the epstein class needs to spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison (the most merciful outcome which they don't deserve), including trump, who should already be there waiting for the rest of them

The stock market right now is just rich people lying to each other that what they have is worth more than it's worth. Just look, it's plain as day.

Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.

Every American needs to watch this:

The only Christians in that church were the ones who went in to protest that ICE asshole.
