I think the one guy saying “Empathy is western civilization’s greatest weakness” isn’t so much an endorsement of fascist politics as it is the recognition that using his child as a human shield seems to be working

Spotted acolytes of @dirtgod.bsky.social in Richmond

I appreciate what some of you are sharing. Let me reiterate that the Democrats in Congress are not afraid of their base. That's really all I'll say.

I know we hate Twitter here but I cannot stop thinking about this.

I hope we can all see how transparently bullshit the regime is regarding any sincere concern about antisemitism, especially when they are using it as a pretext to disappear a legal resident without charges. They do this while the president is posting about "globalists." They do not care about Jews

Individualism is good, actually! Yes, fuck-you-I-got-mine attitudes are bad. Yes, the atomization of people into seemingly disconnected consumers is bad. But it’s a rhetorical and tactical mistake to conflate either of those with the idea of personal autonomy. Dont cede that ground to assholes.

This is a perfect encapsulation of Christian philosemitism as the flipside of the antisemitic coin: Judaism here isn't about Jews at all. It's something Christians claim the right to define and control for their own ends.

It is always worth remembering that the level of someone's pay is not an accurate measure to their value to society and importance in the economy.

Your life right now is somebody’s goal! Be grateful for what you currently have.

This is a really important point. Democrats weren't constantly talking about trans issues in 2024, Republicans were. We keep falling for the narrative that the right is writing about the left instead of defending reality.

this is basically Wall Street for "america is under a kleptocracy fascist authoritarian government and if they don't stop doing stupid shit the dollar system is at risk"

Somehow missed this 2022 UK paper exploring responses to radical right parties (RRP) and whether accommodation - i.e. "beat" them by repeating a version of their tale actually worked electorally. Short version: Nope. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

So the protests are working better than anyone imagined.

He's the highest ranking Democrat in the country! The arrest happened in his state!

There's no reason that this should surprise anyone.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Donald Trump proudly pardoned the Nazi who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt while storming the Capitol and beating cops to death. Anyone who actually believes Trump's prosecuting Mahmoud Khalil because of "antisemitism and rule of law" is either lying to themselves or a closeted Nazi.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Every time you level up, your old life will try to call you back. Don't answer.

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition. If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

it is now likely there are far, far more measles infections (probably by an order of magnitude) than there are trans athletes at the primary school, secondary school, and ncaa levels combined

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

I am asking some of you to stop lying to yourselves about how "powerless" the Democrats in DC are. Please stop. Most of these people have been Congress for over a generation. They KNOW what's possible to do both in DC and in their own districts. They are "colleagues" with McConnell. They know.

If I could add one rule to chess I’d make the horse and the bishop kiss

"Analyzing Google Trends data, researchers found a 46.6% traffic reduction of searches to Pornhub, the biggest platform compliant with the laws. While searches for Pornhub dropped, researchers saw a 48.1% increase in searches for a large non-compliant platform" Exactly what advocates warned about.

a big part of the difference was also that centrist Dem pundits in 2008 were not displaying personal animus against gay people, and there was not a growing exterminationist movement against them

JUST FYI EVERYONE, IF YOU SEE A POST THAT SAYS IT LINKS TO LUIGI MANGIONE'S SEX TAPE DON'T CLICK ON IT!! THERE'S A VIRUS THAT PUTS EVERYTHING YOU TYPE IN CAPITAL LETTERS

You can like it or hate it, but peaceful protest does little and guns work, it's why people use them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTgd... The use of firearms to protect communities/individuals that are oppressed is as old as humankind. Face some hard truths. Arm yourselves. Build community. Train.

Please if you can consider donating to the campaign of this outstanding citizen. Thank you.

Attention all #RVA Tesla owners!! We'll give you extra money off your next car purchase so you don't have to drive a Tesla anymore!

I'm not being funny but we all know that the reason Musk hates Zelensky so obscenely and vitriolically is because he's Jewish, right

No Other Land won Best Doco and Gal Gadot had to watch

The music grows ominous as Neil Armstrong strolls off the sound stage. The moon landing was faked, and now we see the film crew working to wrap up the illusion. The music grows twice as ominous as he steps off set, the camera zooms out and we see the horrible truth - the sound stage is on the moon

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

Oh neat

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world
