once again, the lesson is that one should never make jokes while on bluesky, it is simply too risky

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

When JD Vance can go to Dachau and immediately follow it by all but endorsing the far-right, Holocaust revisionist AfD, and Marco Rubio can go to Yad Vashem and immediately follow it by defending Vance's support for the AfD, we need to ask big questions about what Holocaust remembrance is even for.

There is so much messed up stuff happening at the federal level right now. The day after the election I committed myself to focus on local organizing to have a positive impact. It is imperative that we build as many homes as possible in blue states so that we don't lose an entire decade of power.

"al men need to feel like the hero" but when the time came to make a minor personal sacrifice, a mere inconvenience really, and fucking wear a mask to protect people from a deadly plague, the lot of them threw a shitfit.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power
