How does someone have documentation confirming that they _didn't_ receive money?

I’m a socialist but I hate fascists more than I hate liberals (who I also nevertheless hate.) The favor doesn’t go the other way.

They broke the students. Every leader with power from 2023 to now worked overtime and spared no expense to absolutely destroy a student movement that had been active and vibrant since the 1930s. They tortured they beat they imprisoned they dissappeared they expelled. They made politics too costly.

Be more fucking perfect, you animals.

here’s the NYTimes obituary for renfrew christie, a man who committed his life to sabotaging the apartheid south african nuclear weapons program in collaboration with the ANC. you should read it

The current government of the day? Shocking! "Why weren't they protesting Republicans??!?!?" Because there weren't any in the White House you brainless fuck

Maybe it would have been better for everyone if you didn't bash thousands of them all across the country with sticks and come down on them with all the fury the judicial system could bring to bear on them. Maybe demanding compliance and silence in the face of genocide doomed us all.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

This doesn't seem hard. ICE will continue to exist and operate, as opposed to not existing and not operating. Ergo, it's pro-ICE.

It's really instructive when you replace "Millennials" with "middle-aged adults" in headlines. '"Middle-aged adults" are swimming in student debt and may never own homes.'

This is centrism in microcosm. Starmer can't possible support a genocide because his job title says Good Guy. New Labour can't be in Epstein's circle because of reasons. The status quo can't possible be rotten its just temporarily damaged by one guy.

Genuinely, what do you even say to these people. "Better things aren't possible, so I'm going to fight against what's possible." Absolute dead-enders. A better world is possible for those willing to fight for it. I reject your defeatism entirely.

So it was always just as simple as, we could have climate justice or a welfare program for a small network of pedophiles, healthcare or a welfare program for a small network of pedophiles, no nazi surveillance state or a welfare program for a small network of pedophiles, affordable housing or a welf

I love the idea that it was the Most Important Election of Our Lives, maybe of All History, a referendum on Democracy vs Fascism, Liberty vs Dictatorship, but that it simultaneously WASN'T worth "a pony".

In 2016-2010 the left's "purity tests" and "ice cream and ponies for everyone" demands were medicare for all and student loan forgiveness. In 2023 it's please stop a genocide.

When we hit the inevitable cynical liberal pivot back to status-quo-fucking, THIS will be the line of attack as they go about culling the left again.

“don’t GIVE him what he wants just let him DO whatever he wants!” - half the Democratic Party and also the ghost of Neville Chamberlain, probably

@kazself.bsky.social I see you're not taking comment on your own timeline, for _some_ indiscernible reason. Anyway, some clown seems to have led you astray, so here's an update on cost of living under Labour from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation:

if you genuinely want to argue that the Equality Act, when introduced, intended to make unlawful an approach to trans inclusion that has existed *since the 1970s*, I absolutely cannot take you seriously

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

This is one of the best, most thorough resources I’ve seen: five hours of clear, careful work dismantling transphobia piece by piece. It covers both the usual arguments and the networks pushing them. Long, but absolutely worth it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOc...

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

The job market is grim, but there's a silver lining: Gavin Newsom needs a new co-host for his podcast.

Charlie Kirk was not a good man.

you could write an entire book about this post and I will for the right price

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

“You will never live in a society where you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. It’s worth it to have some gun deaths every single year so that we have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It’s rational.” - Charlie Kirk, 2023

MORE OF THIS!

it should be at least 400 times harder to get a driver's license

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

it's pathetic, but i cried listening to her condemn them directly. compare this to the mcbrides and nonprofits playing along

ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕

you think that chicago mom and her trans son don't notice who isn't showing up for them? lgbtq nonprofit leadership happy to laud words but unwilling to demand actions aren't doing advocacy, they're doing PR - and they're certainly not doing it for us.

you are aware that vietnam was a french colony and that the people supported by the us were literally fascists correct? ho chi minh specifically asked for help from america and america responded by bombing and burning the country to rubble

I have a story, about how "transfeminists reinvented the gender binary". About how "every trans person is subject to transmisogyny". About how "we're all faggots, deviants, perverts, so why demand specificity?" It begins with a transmasc individual saying "chicks with dicks" isn't offensive.

“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed." ―Watership Down

It's really wild how much I pine for THIS vs Andrew Tate. I know its a false choice. One walked so the other etc... But FUCK this was at least memeable.

I keep thinking about that video that @jamellebouie.net made right after the election about how people, particularly on the right, engage with politics through so many levels of irony that they don’t view it as real - that the idea of real policy and the consequences do not exist to them

one thing that has slightly slipped through the cracks is that yesterday Trump said that 9,982 out of every 10,000 people are autistic

Brennan getting railroaded into playing Wealwell, a character he has no conception of beyond his joke name, for 20 episodes is so goddamn funny. Fuckin hell

There’s this muppet on TikTok who transcribes and then scats incredibly difficult jazz solos so well and I could not possibly love a thing more
