Yes, I AM jealous.

anyone, including those who claim to be experts saying that the Republicans are not a Nazi party are not just incorrect. They are trying to protect themselves from the reality that they are wrong.

During the French Revolution at one point they killed a man who had thought starving people could "just eat grass" and his son. They also took out the son's heart and threw it on the Mayor of Paris' desk...

Nobody talking about Gillies/Poirier beating Chock/Bates in the Rhythm Dance?!?! #4ContsFigure

There is one man who comes to the gym in his MAGA hat - he kept trying to catch my eye the other day and I fully pretended he did not exist. Sorry sir you don't even rate a reaction.

Here's the thing about the US, we will fucking wreck ourselves to keep minorities down. If you're ever confused on why anything in the US is worse than anywhere else, that's the answer and it won't get better until we make fundamental changes to how we think and act as a country.

My best friend holds a grudge against Sidney Crosby for his gold medal goal in the Olympics and when they were talking about what if he scored the winning goal in the 4 Nations Championship, I was like I know someone who will be pissed.

You’re never gonna be able to erase her, you fascist scum.

The Nazis and fascists wouldn’t be running a massive demoralization campaign, coupled with a terror campaign online if they thought they had the power to pull off what they were trying to do without a fight. They are weaker than we are and we outnumber them 100 to one. They will reap the whirlwind

By confirming kash Patel, the Republicans have said they are fully on board the violence coming for every American. The Republicans are waging war against us the sooner you figure that out the longer you and your loved ones will have a chance

I had bought these thick velvet blackout curtains for my bedroom because "interior design" but they are fantastic at keeping out the cold too.

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

Just being individually feral isn't working for me. I need a partner in feral.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

sara for everything

I'm reading this book and my radar for white people nonsense went off when a white woman reporter was talking about how the Black man she was talking to was both "ignorant of" and "didn't care" to talk about the history of Black people in their area with her. And woof.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

I'm dying. Ive lost 50 lbs in 3 mos. I have an excruciating abscess & Im about to be gentrified out of my home. Folks talk a big game about supporting trans folks, fighting fascism, community, & we protect us, but time & time again I see trans folks completely ignored when we ask help. HELP ME!?

Don't ever forget it's "bootstraps for thee but not for me" with way too many people.

My only silver lining today is I made my very last payment to Xfinity.

it is nice that every once in a while m*rk cub*n reminds everybody that he is just as stupid and useless as the other money hoarders.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Self checkout cameras are so good. The one I just used decided when I clicked to pay and pulled out my card that I was trying to steal something and made the associate come swipe their badge.

I do not believe in any tech product where the devs want us to view it with some form of religious awe, a divine gift redefining human experience and bequeathing knowledge unto us humble land apes. I believe in a tech product where the devs are like “this is handy for planning breakfasts”

Alright, I’m resolving the debate. All of these are simultaneously true: 1) Dems are the minority in Congress, greatly limiting their institutional power 2) Congressional Dems can and should be doing more 3) Some Dems are actually doing opposition, drawing public attention, etc 4) Not enough are
