Look at all those protesters there are at least ten

I think a good rule of thumb is if your preferred source of news referred to yesterday's protest as "tens of thousands" and not "millions", you need to find a different news source.

I am begging and pleading all American progressives and left wingers to learn from what the Establishment did to Jeremy Corbyn. Stuff like declaring his election wasn't *really* legitimate was the starting point.

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

It's always interesting to compare the numbers to the Tea Party protests and the respective coverage of them.

Ben Shapiro getting all upset at the parade coverage as though he isn't used to taking part in activities where no one comes

Live your life so millions of your fellow citizens don't take to the streets to tell you to go fuck yourself on your birthday.

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

Tanks for nothing.

Quick reminder to the armchair analysists out there speculating over little #mnlege floor charts: Knock it off, you absolute goblins. The legislative year just ended. A seat is the least important thing Minnesota lost to a bullet today.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

if you think every voice actor is a millionaire, you are not immune to propaganda and would not survive the winter, sorry.

Thread on how getting detained at a protest in NYC works and why you, average person, do not need to collect names or fear for your friends who get grabbed. The trauma of unknowing is one of the biggest things that deters people from going back out. Don’t let it.

"engaged in making phone calls" --> "made phone calls" #AmEditing

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions" oh, ok then

There are many jobs that people need to take for economic reasons that do not align with their personal ideals and ideologies. Neither ICE nor any role protecting or boosting the Republican regime is one of those roles. Everyone involved in those actions is choosing fascism with their whole heart.

The horrors persist but so do the little treats.

“This is familiar ground, the idea that no matter what the right does … we have the responsibility to remain not just peaceful but peaceful in a way that pleases our enemies. It becomes collective responsibility and collective guilt…”

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

AOC rightly pushing back against the dominant narrative that only Democrats have agency and thus only Democrats' actions can be criticized.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

For the second time in a week I get to change "rare metals" to "rare earths" thanks in large part to @lifewinning.com's occasional posts about them and their non-rarity.

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence: 1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating. 2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights. 3. Their goals are bigger than today. /1

greta thunberg is 22 years old and braver than every single one of the pigs in la rn

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

When people say that ”things were better back in the day,” I can only assume they're talking about 1983 frog phone
