disregard the previous post, go look at The Bionicle Thread threadreaderapp.com/thread/11788...

this is one reason it’s really important to call your reps and senators and raise hell about the budget bill

“Obama and Trump are both evil” is like a 7th-grade level understanding of politics at best, I’m sorry to say

The irony is that leftists are so capitalism-pilled they can only think in the terms of a consumer deciding whether or not to buy a product

One of these days, I gotta draw a comic about the time I had to exasperatedly tell a guy that all these kids were not "brainwashed" by pop music -- that they *just fucking like what they hear* You will not be the savior that liberates the masses from, *checks notes*, things they enjoy!

*banging on the sign* POPULIST AND POPULAR ARE NOT SYNONYMS!

Truly amazing things are happening on bluesky dot com.

Being wrong on the internet should cost.

Also...have you noticed that these people NEVER extend the whole "Hillary/Kamala failed to INSPIRE people" mentality to Bernie? Never happens. You NEVER see them say "Bernie failed to inspire voters in the primaries." I feel like even TRYING to say that would make their skin peel off.

This is, as ever, consumer narcissism masquerading as a political identity

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Among the many other points wrong here: what, exactly, do these people expect a single-day protest to achieve by itself? If we had let them shout "Death to America!" a few dozen times or try to Jan. 6th the local governments, would that have toppled the regime?

If you need more than "Not a fascist", that tells me that you need persuasion to not support fascism. This is opposed to the liberals who vote ideologically against the fascist candidates, who we are assured by the same people to be cryptofascist.

I feel like you could also look at The Last Jedi and Luke's actions at the end of the movie similarly. People (weirdos) were pissed that the laser swords space wizard didn't go ham on space fash, despite that never being who he was or the message of the story.

This was the Four Seasons Total Landscaping of military parades.

I go to bed tonight proud to know how many people are willing to stand up for what’s right — and how few are willing to rally for his hate. Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

Donald Trump is morally responsible for any and every act of right-wing political violence in the US. Not because that's automatically the case with any politician and any lunatic with superficially aligned politics. Because he has specifically condoned and encouraged right-wing political violence.

this is plausibly going to be an inflection point for this reason

Everybody he thinks is his friend loathes him nearly as much as everybody who openly loathes him.

it's giving

Trumps birthday parade is absolutely magnificent. Huge respect to the organizers, and the men and women in uniform.

holy crap

The Trump Parade reminds me of the time Shostakovich wrote a terrible symphony "honoring" the Soviet military

Trump Iooks really sad! Say something nice about him to cheer him up! I'll start Today, Trump brought millions of people together under the American flag

between this, the camo outfits instead of dress uniforms, and the sloppy ass formations, i am pretty sure the army is putting on a world historic version of malicious compliance

Meemaw! Meemaw! The Boston Science Museum done made them robot dogs into homosexualists!

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

He knows it. He feels it in his bones. Nobody likes him, nobody wants him to be President, the *most* he can hope for is scrambling into a 747 Election Eve 2028 and hiding in a country with no extradition treaties with the US for the rest of his life.

literally the only places I have ever seen a MAGA hat in DC are at prominent tourist spots downtown and the airport. this is a 95% Democratic city - which is not surprising for the gayest city in the country, the most educated city in the country, and a historically black city.

to be clear: when they write "Democrats" they actually mean Third Way and a guy who was a Deputy Mayor 25 years ago

I think a form of this is behind the weird 'global majority' thing that a few UK institutions were under pressure to use, a term both off-putting and bizarre.

It’s actually quite dismaying how many supposed left-wingers on this website are shitting on No Kings / discouraging protesting this weekend because… *checks notes* *checks notes again, disbelievingly* “people who might be cringe might also show up”

here’s the fun part: both can be, and probably are, true

This only happens when you're angry or in a hurry

It’s impossible to read this post as not 1) rooting for us liberals to get a beatdown tomorrow, but also 2) weirdly jealous of the beatdown he has only imagined

Libs won’t put their bodies on the line except to get attacked by cops for protesting fascism so that they can blame the left for [inaudible] and absolve the cops because [inaudible] and they really aren’t protesting fascism because [inaudible]. It almost makes *too* much sense.

Man, the sheer level of "yes yes, thank your local DSA chapter for this, it was all us!!"-posting after tomorrow's protests is going to be off the charts, only coming in second to the "that protest was stuuupid because cringe people went!!"-posting.

the modal protestor is going to be a retired elementary school teacher in a big sun hat who wears her little-old-ladydom like armor. it is true that there are risks but the risks are not especially large.

Apologies for dragging poor GLHM into this but this kind of nutball stuff is what a lot of people on here sound like right now except without the veneer of "just being rational and concerned!" to cover it.
