Know your history or you look more stupid than Felon47.

I wish it could be this simple. Like, saying “Hello Sir! Our idiot president did this; not us!” But it doesn’t work that way. Now, innocent people on both sides will pay for the Orange One’s stupidity and evil.

Major flaws in government arise from a fear of making radical internal changes even though a need is clearly seen.

Seems important.

I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

There’s no reconciliation without accountability. There’s no “healing” without trials. You don’t move forward by pretending fascism was a difference of opinion.

1000%. I’m exhausted with republicans and liberals beating us down with “MLK believed nonviolent action” every time we want to defend ourselves against tyranny. If the colonists just stopped at throwing tea in the Harbor, we’d still have English accents.

It starts with how you raise your boys. Raise them to be expressive and emotionally intelligent. Too many parents telling boys to suck it up and man up.

troops can't even march in step at the Dipshit Nuremberg rally, my god. like the fascism is one thing but at this point we're just embarrassing ourselves in front of Germany

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Project 2025: Every town in America is now a sundown town(again/still). Making America white Again is off to a strong start. This is all going according to the plan. The plan we warned about. The plan white America voted for enthusiastically in November. Are we enjoying all of this, white America?

"Tell me now, how was the world lost?" the full quote from the book 'They Thought They Were Free' read by @iwriteok.bsky.social in the linked episode of Behind the Bastards has been haunting me every day of this wretched year... (time: 52:11 - 58:00) youtu.be/CnBu3lgdh0I?...

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

I hate myself for this.

“Fed is best” applies to all humans regardless of age.

The disastrous Citizens United decision put a for-sale sign on our democracy and has permitted $15 BILLION in outside spending since 2010. Our campaign finance system is broken, and if we want to fix it, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

Ezra Klein has never won a political race. He worked for the Howard Dean campaign in 2004, then he started blogging. The only thing Ezra Klein knows how to do is sell news websites to media conglomerates and private equity firms.
