Trump calling himself a king and mocking up a fake magazine cover to boot because he triumphed over a single county's infrastructure policy is a perfect example of the distance between what he actually is and what he wants so desperately to be.

I was waiting for this to happen when they said that all the “National Monuments will be under review”. This is so wrong. Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two Trans women of colour, were among the first (and others!) that kickstarted a global movement of equality and human rights here. 🧱

More of this please

This shit isn't a triumphant Reich installing their master plan, it's psychotic crackheads ripping the copper wiring out of the walls to try and find the Woke Machine that makes women not want to fuck them.

I read the message at 2:28. I was blocked before then. So weird.

"There is a strong urge to avoid dealing with people of bad faith in bad faith themselves, as if offering good faith creates good faith, as if lying to fascists makes us as bad as fascists." "Remember, the ends do not justify the means, but they do define them." www.the-reframe.com/lying-to-fas...

The whole "bad things happened to me therefore they should happen to today's young people" argument never made much sense to me

post this on your profile today to make sure federal agents know that everything you posted today was just jokes

Sometimes, these ambitious men show the worst kind of cowardice.

I feel like there’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that Trump’s trillion dollar funding freeze was an attempt to do McCarthyism via Presidential fiat, & in the name of combatting a phantom force identified solely by a vague propaganda term the right only started using about 5 years ago.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

One of my fourth graders asked a friend if he and his family wanted to live at his house since they are scared of the cold men coming to their house. The cold men are ICE. Kids may not understand it all right now, but they are listening.

The Dem pols are participants in a game they have no interest in actually competing in, sadly.

donald trump: america will take greenland even if it takes force democrats: can you believe this guy. he’s crazy! democrats 4 years later: donald trump didn’t even capture greenland for our own exploitation. epic fail

That did not take long

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Pretty soon a good number of voters who thought they were voting for someone to repair a few outlets and tune up the furnace to make it more efficient will wake up to realize that a swarm of workers spent a week taking their house down to the studs and then disappeared, never to be seen again.

For ~a decade, while studying “rumoring during crisis”, I’ve seen how the right takes advantage of newsy moments, throwing out different frames & phrases to find what resonates. They don’t wait for focus groups. They throw everything at the wall, see what sticks, then lean into the winning bits.

I’m so sorry that queer people are so obsessive with being ethical and pure while the people destroying us are anything but. Its shameful. It’s like these people would love to die on a hill dubbed “I was right”. Yeah. Dead right.

Piling on a trans woman while the Trump administration bans us from military service and uses us as an excuse to break the whole government is inexcusably deranged behavior. Take a breath, take a walk, drink some water, eat some lunch. Nobody has our backs if we don't even have each other.

"Nihilism is oxygen for authoritarians; they thrive when the opposition gives up."

Holy fuck the audacity

Systems failing us now were also failing us before this catastrophic collapse. Even when they had the majority, the Democrats and progressive governments were hamstrung by their own fear to do the right thing and right the wrongs of centuries. We need no longer fear. We can do the right thing.
