If someone throws a can of soup at a riot cop who's attacking them we have three months of discourse about non-violence meanwhile the Right has been carrying out assassinations for my entire life and there's never any of that shit directed towards them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Fwiw I don't think his target audience is conservatives. It's people who read the New York Times.

The problem is that conservatives decide that the best way to influence things is via violence all on their own for no other reason than because they hate us and like it when we die and they are only comfortable and committed to democracy insofar as it results in a sufficient number of our deaths.

not attacking panther here tbc. it’s true enough that we’d be in a better place with a republican party that resembled something more like the british tories or the french republicans or whatever, but i don’t think it’s helpful for dems to go talking up reps just say what they believe and beat them

whispers technically none of the <pauses to count> three previous delays of the enforcement of this law complied with the statutory extension provision, and yet it’s not obvious what the remedy would be given that the bill gives the AG the sole authority to enforce the law

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

glances at PhD dissertation draft about the social construction of expertise and the epistemic collapse of post-1945 theories of American national security expertise in political science. Well, at least it helps a girl make a living.

The fact is that in the United States, right-wing violence 1. Is much more common than left-wing violence 2. Furthers the interests of the Republican Party, while what little left-wing violence exists mainly causes headaches for Democrats 3. Is coddled by the Republicans

This is what "an armed society is a polite society" actually means and it's no wonder republicans and gun nuts love to trot out that line

one of the things that always gets me about the "we have to make space for imperfect allies, patiently talk them out, not be so pushy" is - what does this actually mean in terms of an executable policy and political strategy? because 'individual conversations being more patient' ain't either.

Don't Rank Cuomo. His absence from No Kings day and the rally for Brad tells you all you need to know about he will buckle before Trump. @bkindivisible.bsky.social @riseandresist.bsky.social

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

The Right excommunicated Liz Cheney; it just cast out Brad Raffensberger, and even Elon Musk is on the verge of entering the camp of the damned, where he would join Trump's entire first term cabinet, chief of staff, personal lawyer and right hand man, oh, and his first Vice President

Absolutely incredible that we are still getting mainstream denunciations of "trans activists" when the far-right fringe has far more odious views and sits much closer to power.

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

I must reiterate that this strategy of publicly scolding "the activists" for staking out "unpopular" positions and (supposedly) making the party look bad is not only morally cowardly but strategically counterproductive Activists aren't your employees, they won't change just because you told them to

To answer a question nobody asked- I think the healthiest way to engage with the prurient interest is written/illustrated erotica ("erotica" defined as being pornographic content that has some creative or literary ambition beyond the prurient), while hardcore films are probably some of the least.

This is also just objectively correct. There is a positive correlation between "Watches porn" and "has sex", despite most women categorizing "watches porn" as one of the least desirable hobbies in a partner (running behind "crypto" but ahead of "anime").

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

it is really funny how a republican senate voted to install a Democrat who's a member of a non-Christian cult and who was almost certainly on some kind of Iranian payroll as the nation's spymaster

To explain further - there is a model of dysfunctional social interaction, the Karpman Triangle. It holds that bad actors can adopt the roles of Rescuer, Victim, and Persecutor - to gain or maintain a desired social status - & can (& will) pivot between roles to maintain status.
