RCV is the reason why the Lander and Mamdani fan bases aren't at each others' throats, Bernie vs Warren 2020 style

it is worth looking at the history of the leading lights of sanders' movement nine years later. tim canova is a rabidly antisemitic left-goldbug. tulsi gabbard is a homophobic traitor who works for trump. fetterman is a brain-dead genocidal ogre.

Fuck it, that's a planet. Final decision.

i'm going viral on the other site for saying "acab includes the jedi" and i'm being verbally abused by tons of people who haven't even read the tragedy of darth plegeius the wise, or even listened to it explained by a senator

Trump has been making the "comply or resist" choice painfully easy by slapping everyone harder every time they try to pick door #1.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

my most totally insane conspiracy is that "restaurant" used to be spelled different. look at this shit: restaurant. "tau"? does that look normal to you? it used to be "resteraunt". They changed it. no one else remembers. I've said too much already.

This actually isn't that morally complicated: the underlying dynamic here is the reason why we have conflict of interest rules.

I was told we were getting rid of DEI?

I'm just going to say it: No Kings feels like a turning point, both for the American left in general and even on Bluesky. It was the platonic ideal of moderate liberal non-violent protest, and the energy just feels *so different* all of a sudden. It's like everybody grew up and locked in.

the John Wick universe is what you get if someone explained everything about Vampire: the Masquerade except that the characters are vampires

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

I love Dark Souls but I think it gave gamers brain damage because now everyone thinks the gold standard for dark fantasy RPG combat is rolling around like Sonic the Hedgehog while a guy with a big hammer chases you Looney Tunes style.

P.S. It appears yesterday's villainy actually emanated from the LA Sheriff's Department, which very much tracks with where the dirtbag law-enforcement officers have apparently begun to collect en masse after years of corruption crackdowns inside the LAPD.

@proptermalone.bsky.social @beijingpalmer.bsky.social, from one of my conservative Twitter mutuals who's active-duty military. The "malicious compliance" theory is looking especially vital this morning.

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

And yet it worked. A majority might have disapproved of the freedom riders at some point, but nobody doubts that the treatment of Rosa Parks persuaded a critical mass of people of the barbarity of the laws. You build power by appealing to empathy, not by Rosa Parks throwing a brick at a cop.

ok maybe the American flag scolds had a point, this photo goes hard

This is it. This is all it is. Having organizers brave and wise enough to tell people like this to STFU is the entire difference between massively succesful protests like today and Waymopalooza.

I will say I saw a lot more American flags at this protest than the one in May and I think it was a positive improvement.

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

I generally think "defund the police" is a silly sentiment, especially "defund as in abolish", but if you wanted to specifically abolish the LA Sheriffs' Department, I think there's a case for it.
