this rich asshole in st. louis pointed a gun at some protesters and become a right wing celebrity overnight. conservatives were so enthralled by a guy who threatened to kill liberals that he got recruited to run for senate and raised over a million bucks in individual donations

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

A major problem among liberals is that, like conservatives, many believe prison rape not only *should* exist but that it exists as a divine punishment for someone “bad enough to go to prison”. As long as it’s happening to a Bad Person, who cares? They were convicted, right?

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

me: I have seen leftists on here say that they want to be ruled by king babar. they want an authoritarian elephant to be president lady w/ bitmoji avatar who just left huge labradoodle turds in neighbors yard: shameful. shameful. these people have never had real jobs

Conservatism kills mothers and babies.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Conservatism is a child abuse machine.

Dutch baby, baby.

The creepy fixation on two Jewish kids' red hair, paired with indifference to the thousands of dark-haired Palestinian children who have been killed in the same conflict, strikes me as straightforwardly racist.

Cast iron cookware is easy to use and maintain. It's fine to use soap to clean it. Don't believe the lies by Big Teflon.

Jan. 6 was bad because of its goals, but one mustn't underestimate the appeal of a mob scaring congressmen.
