I know this is stupid, but the thing about Bathroom Bans I can never get over is that bathrooms are supposedly hot spots for sexual assault because genitals are present, but invisible, at those locations, which is also true of literally any place where people are gathered and wearing clothes

one of the problems with political analysis of all stripes is that it's a bunch of mostly moderately smart people for whom politics is essentially their lives trying to analyze the behavior of mostly slightly dumb people who barely think about it

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

This is proof of two things: 1- police departments are publicly-funded gangs and 2- police unions should not be considered "labor organizations" so much as "racketeering schemes."

Come ON. Biden's campaign keeps linking Trump to Hitler because Trump keeps echoing Hitler. The "extraordinary step" here is what Trump is doing, not Biden's response. www.politico.com/news/2023/12...

I think I can say with a clean conscience I’m not a shameless biden shill but to me the main reason you vote for him is the opportunity to vote for somebody better in 2028 will not exist if he loses

This is a good thing (and the AmTrads are [even more] going to Lose Their Shit). It's a blessing, not a consecration; but it accepts people as they are. Doctrine does not change overnight. www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

Who wants to learn about the oldest kaiju story—which doubles as the oldest story we know? Get comfortable—have a seat, pour yourself a drink, light ‘em if you got ‘em. We’re going back several millennia on this thread. (Also getting political in the last third of the thread, sorry). 1/39

Politics is just the word we use for the process by which we collectively chose to organize our society. For better or worse just about everything you do is a political act, your choice is about wether you’re engaging in an intentional informed manner or if you’ve abdicated your agency.

Rep. George Santos is expelled from Congress on bipartisan vote following scathing ethics report. The ouster of the freshman congressman was only the sixth time in U.S. history and the first in more than 20 years that the House has taken such drastic action.

The House just voted 311 to 114 to expel George Santos. This sets the very dangerous precedent of holding elected officials accountable for their unethical behavior.
