Nah I agree with Maaike. You know what positive masculinity is? It's when you think you are a man and are also a good person

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This perfectly aligns with my POV because it shouldn't be considered OK for adults to abdicate their responsibility to be minimally informed. If these people are only going to choose Sanders or a fascist, then even though I like Sanders, that means that group is hugely morally deficient.

I think about this all the time. What if we just encouraged everyone to be kind, gentle, and caring as well as strong, ambitious, and fierce? Why are the latter valued and the former denigrated, again and again?

To the people insisting Kendrick should have burnt the American flag: 1) Kendrick's clearly proud to be an American. 2) Burning the flag at America's Game is asking to start a riot against you. 3) Proclaiming that American Heritage = Black Heritage makes the GOP angrier than burning it ever would.

I do think it’s funny when the car companies are like “we may be divided but now more than ever, I think we can all agree: car ❤️”

This is a huge part of this. Depression is self-reinforcing. It will actively tell you not to do the things that will help you recover, and it will do it in a way that's indistinguishable from normal thoughts on the inside. You have to fight it.

i have written about this before but i have become extremely civic republican virtue pilled as a result of all of this. democracy will not work without an active effort to cultivate virtue among ordinary people!

Sharing once more because many have told me it was helpful and expounding slightly. Generally and broadly in a way where you can be flexible when need be, decide a) how much time / resources / skills and so-on you're able to give weekly. Give 80% to your cause and 20% to those of your community.

And I could use less ontological dithering from the media of record here. That’s a Nazi salute, that’s a concentration camp, and that’s a lie. Euphemisms have gotten too expensive.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual. We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

Most people want to think that the country they live in is (or can one day be) a place to be proud of. It's in your interest to promote a civic faith that encourages that. Not least because it provides a basis for collective action.

“There is a man running down the block screaming / I LOVE YOU CAN YOU HEAR ME I LOVE YOU.” Will share @toddedillard.bsky.social’s “No Rush” poem every chance I get because I unabashedly adore it. Please give it a read, no rush. 💞

s2g if we were fighting Palpatine and he was like “with each passing moment you find yourself more my servant” y’all would be like “yes, my master,” and if Luke Skywalker was like “no, that’s not true, that’s impossible” you’d call him a polyanna

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

something like marine snow; bones being the lil endoskeletons of creatures that live in the upper atmosphere. maybe all breeding + dying at once, like salmon or mayflies, causing the yearly bone rains that are prob the occasion of various local festivals

Ta Nehisi Coates's "The First White President" points out that Trump is Obama For Whites: if Obama showed the best that Black Americans could offer was electable, Trump showed that Whites' worst was too. And that's MAGA: the promise that "your" worst will receive the same respect as "their" best

I’m not a nostalgist by any means but there certainly was a time in my life when if something like this happened, an adult would address the nation and tell everybody to cut the fucking shit.
