The way this is my most liked skeet

I dunno, let’s hear him out.

the authoritarianism is bad, but the loser energy is absolutely intolerable

mfw the sitting president is using nazi symbolism to be anti lgbtq

When @iwriteok.bsky.social described the base of power of American fascism as car dealership owners and MLM grifters I didn’t expect a Getty framed White House photo of the Statue of State Captivity

Some have rightly pointed out that the Executive Order to combat antisemitism is numbered 14188. These nazis are so uncreative.

This is a grave and sobering admission: they are not pursuing the “WELL ACTUALLY he broke the law during protests,” they are bragging that they are deporting people for protected speech.

I love how she’s like. Listen, to be clear, I’m racist. However this is too far

My favorite film genres: 5. Deeply, absurdly stupid 4. But what if the robots are people? 3. Hot people in unconventional relationships being mean to each other 2. Time loop/alt universes until you learn how to feel your feelings 1. There is no true resolution and you will feel hollowed out inside

The Trump administration will now be defining what is considered "anti-American" activism and deporting people for it.

Currently

People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

Murder I was fine with, but I draw the line at liking Haidt.

See also the step from "revoking a green card due to political beliefs" to "using the rest of the punitive power of the state against disfavored political beliefs"

the shit the trump admin is doing now is built on shit the biden admin and democratic politicians were doing in 2023-2025. the legislation they passed falsely conflating opposition to genocide as support for terrorism. the surveillance and police violence.

Sir

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

I think about this from @naomiaklein.bsky.social a lot. "Conspiracy theorists get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right." The sense that people are gaining wealth from human suffering while concealing reality is valid, but the root problem isn't evil people but the nature of capitalism.

I’m desperately begging people to understand that our rights, protections, and ability to protest are being systematically undermined and have been for years. We’re being herded into a very bad place and the gates are going to be locked. Please. See it for what it is and start organizing.

If you wanted to explain how the police protect the interests of capital in a single picture

Caught myself about to correct a man’s barbell row form at the gym and… didn’t! But my back hurts watching him

every day of my life i wake up, read the worst scariest thing i've ever read, scroll down and immediately see a democrat scolding their constituents for begging them to do something about it and i wonder when enough will be enough and at this point i'm forced to assume the answer is "never"

In addition to being an enormous waste of time resources because the science on this is already clear, i’m wondering what’s going to happen when the science continues to say something RFK disagrees with

I haven’t had coffee in three days because i got my shit wrecked by norovirus and got by just fine today on vyvanse + matcha. I could… try to wean myself off of something that’s probably going to become scarcer/more expensive in my lifetime, but without espresso i don’t think i would get out of bed

Every four years Californians elect the worst person in the state to be governor, this is because the Governor has to live in Sacramento, a fate worse than death for most Californians

I went on a date with a guy who worked at Strava and I asked, “were you there when soldiers were tracking their jogs around military bases and revealing their locations to foreign governments? That was hella funny.” “It wasn’t funny to me,” he said, which made me think it was even funnier.

Why do we hate pronouns in email signatures? I love pronouns in email signatures. Why do you want me to guess the gender of first names in any number of languages?

A lot of Irish Americans — too many of whom are MAGA —need to draw on their immigration history of being starved out of their home country by a hateful, imperial occupier enforcing deliberately cruel laws. It is a sin to view people as ‘other’ when your ancestors suffered that fate.

Frowning while at the Brownshirt rally I’m attending so that people know I disagree with it

I know I keep saying this but the past month has really radicalized me against the Democrats in a way I never was before.

No. Buy a rainbow gun, train with your friends, take a Stop The Bleed class, practice unslinging, reloading, firing, clearing weapon malfunctions, and unloading one-handed with both left and right hand in kneeling, prone, and supine positions. Practice applying a tourniquet to yourself one-handed.

I think i confused the ending of anora with the ending of promising young woman, neither of which i have seen, and was silently really annoyed about all the awards
