Dems are going to keep using this racially coded "law and order" rhetoric because they're right wingers. All of the concern trolling and gaslighting is originating from Dem politicians and strategists, then being parroted by liberals on social media.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Any time you-all wanna stop using the term "deranged" for activity that makes a shit-ton of sense even if the sense is not in line with what you think is right or decent, that would be awesome. Human evil is not the same as mental illness. Human evil is usually pretty damn sane.

Now that our democratic order has come to a close and Republican authoritarianism has replaced it, I think it's important to view politics as a contest of resources as much as a contest of ideas. It's very expensive for the GOP to maintain the occupation of LA and we should make it even more so.

Remember when Colbert roasted W at the 2006 correspondents‘ dinner, quipping that “reality has a well-known liberal bias”? Twenty years later (almost), and the NPS is now required to crowdsource “information” based on personal feelings because the historical facts are deemed too unpleasant. Cool. 🗃️

I know there's a lot going on right now and one thing that's going on is the Trump admin is trying to roll back rules for making new buildings accessible. There are six days left to make comments about it.

It can be startling how hard people who believe they're the good guys will fight to cling to the security blanket of ableism instead of, I dunno, listening to Disabled people who have spent decades seriously studying systems of harm to Disabled people.

"Left, right, we all agree that disabled people are worthless, right, guys?" The way so many of you sound, all the time.

"For many, the greatest atrocity is impoliteness to others like them. So, if you want to understand who somebody thinks is most like them, look for those to whom they are least comfortable being impolite to, and what atrocities they'd like to stay silent about." www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

Oh, that Republican "fixed" her mistake about Sikh versus Muslim, but she left in the Christian Nationalistic fascism though.

Seeing a lot of premature gloating about musk, and I'm kinda here for it.

People really need to stop blaming being a selfish heartless bastard on mental illness.

ICE attacked community members in #SanDiego who mobilized in defense of workers. "The crowd surrounded agents, yelling profanities + calling them fascists. Many people recorded the agents and the license plates of their vehicles." Police used weapons after the crowd attempted to block vehicles.

I think I was misunderstood. How unusual. How shocking.

Oh man, I knew this would boil over. Too many unchecked antisemites hiding behind antizionism. You can't ignore them, throw them the fuck out when you see them.

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies. Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare. It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

Bleh, this is like 3 times I found an interesting new youtuber and everything seemed fine, then he goes and uses the word woke as a pejorative. Just wtf?

Right, scientists, famously bad at thinking logically.

I'd wager that 90% of people saying "We need a Joe Rogan of the left" would never tune in — they just think that OTHER people should. It's just more of the same tired, focus-grouped, spreadsheet-driven Beltway consultant horseshit and it's why most Dems sound like they were grown in a fucking vat.
