Comms and campaigns guy. Worked with a whole bunch of orgs and a bunch of campaigns--some more fun than others. Don't know what I'm doing, but maybe I'll figure it out one day. (he/him)

this is fascism

The world's falling apart, my hot water heater broke, and I feel like I'm being gaslit. Other than that, what a Friday, amirite?

Hey folks--for the past two years we've gotten to know Nicole really well. She watches Murphy for us and as you can see in the pics in thread, he LOVES her. And for good reason! Nicole rocks. She's also a single mom going through a very costly divorce and could use our help.

I went to a practice round at the 1998 Masters. I was watching golfers putt on the practice green. Suddenly, there was a big roar from the crowd. I turned around....directly into reigning Masters champion....Tiger Woods. He said excuse me. I moved. I was 12 years old and couldn't speak.

Was kinda hoping you tried the Costco card thing.

No new wars, except for the big one! 🫠

Maybe the astronomers are onto something about us being trapped in a black hole.

“Remigration” is a white nationalist term adopted by the fascist right so it make sense that this president would use it when he openly admits this was never about targeting the bad apples among migrants

They continue to make their intentions clear, which is to shut down dissent, stifle our fundamental freedoms of speech, expression, and assembly, while forcibly occupying American cities. They are unmoored from what had been our shared values.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Sen. Brian Schatz: "This is the stuff of dictatorships [... Noem] was there and delivering her remarks within earshot the whole time. She has command authority over those agents who are arresting a leader in the legislative branch."

I told you we’d be back

I mean, we all saw this during the debate where he literally said, "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs." Even if you're trying to reach the conspiracy theorists with this shit, it was CLEARLY UNHINGED. Somehow, this didn't dissuade enough voters!

FIFA is one of the most corrupt organizations on planet earth. It's gonna be hard, but they have real financial reasons to threaten the U.S. with moving the entirety of the World Cup to Canada and Mexico.

I get that when they renovated State Farm Arena, they removed everything for hockey, but *if* Atlanta gets hockey again, it's legitimately insane to build another arena. Nearly every other city with NBA and NHL franchises shares a facility. It should be no different in Atlanta. Renovate.

A shocking amount of this film does not in fact take place at night!

Hey, hey, hey! Media!!!.......... Look over here!!!!!!!!

one big reason beltway journalists shouldn’t buy white house spin about los angeles is that the actual public opinion info we have doesn’t suggest the president has a winning hand here

Rest easy, Brian. Thanks for everything.

Yes it is, Pam! On 1/6 thousands of violent protesters descended on our Capitol attempting to overthrow the duly elected government and assassinate elected officials. In LA and elsewhere, largely peaceful protesters oppose the kidnapping of the friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers.

No shit, if you suggested renaming a base currently named for a Confederate for Sherman, the right would lose their minds (and give away their game).

Look at these white supremacists going copypasta from the updated social toolkkkit instead of adapting the posts in their own voice. Dweebs.

Not that the players deserve it, but we kinda deserve to completely suck and get laughed out of group play next year.

They can overwhelmingly go fuck themselves.

I mean, I once got super drunk at a brewery in Santa Monica and then accidentally under-tipped at a diner. I had to stumble up to the counter and ask for my receipt back so I could correct the total before they re-ran my card. CHAOS!

“How did the civil war start, dad?” “Well, white supremacist from Santa Monica was uncomfortable around brown people and refused to seek out therapy.”

Fuck it. I'm taking a break and gonna get everything to make tacos. I'm also getting a 12-pack of Pacifico. Lord knows we need it right about now.

Criticize Republicans and you'll lose your job. Criticize Democrats and you'll get a cushy book deal and enough press to send your book to the top of the charts for weeks on end. America.

These fuckers all want to destroy American democracy. It's their primary objective. They're attempting to manufacture violence and chaos to justify martial law. It reeks of Nazi Germany. The fire within them burns with a lust for violence, chaos, and finally--brutal control.

I hate to jump to irrational conclusions caked in anxiety and dread, but it sure sounds like Trump is using his speech at Fort Bragg to tease a widespread deployment of the military on US streets. It sounds ever worse that some troops seem ready for the ride.

The second President of the Confederacy honors the traitors that paved the road for him.
