Protest, celebrate, be loud and unapologetically who you are. Stop compromising with fascists and, as they fail, build something better that people want to be a part of. You'll win that way, and if you somehow don't, you will at least have lived life as your actual self.

But will we? Will we really protect them? Guess we're about to find out.

I have been released from detainment along with other members of the press from @apnews.com and @reuters.com among others.

CNN now a weak, weaselly, half-assed, pseudo-intellectual version of Fox. Compliance in advance.

Honestly if you are calling for violence, you don’t really expect violence to come for you personally, especially not from the state. It’s all a game. It’s all theoretical. You are exposing your own immense privilege.

These tanks should not be allowed back into Texas. Ever. Biden's two greatest & deadliest mistakes: 1. Not forcefully expanding the f-- out of the Supreme Court- heck, not even considering it; 2. Not taking all necc. measures to close bases and reduce military munitions in red states.

I'm remembering Tommy Cotton on TV (was it Fox or CNN?) back in 2020 clamoring with an pitch-ever-higher voice for Trump to sic the 101st airborne on BLM protestors.

This is the true Project 2025 Dream: a realm where there is no US government at all (except maybe as a tool for censorship enforcement). Gilead is an impossibility with the size & diversity of the US, but would become quite possible within some of 50 smaller nation-states.

Sure you can. And it's almost inevitable. This is what Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis have been dreaming about- becoming the emperors of the two warring "Military Superpowers" among the 50 relatively tiny countries the USA wil dissolve into.

Either he's a lying idiot, or we're about to see the first invasion of a state by another state- which is really what DeSantis and Abbott have been itching for.

This is tragic. Half of Poland, highly educated, gets it and fully understands the path to freedom and prosperity; but the other half hates that women can get good-paying jobs & that Jews still live in Poland, and some of them quietly long for the "simpler" days of the Communist machine.

Mom who voted to screw over other people's trans daughters thinks HER transgender daughter deserves better. Such a typical Trump voter. And yet here she is, featured in an article, rather than any of the other moms of trans kids whose rights she didn't care about.

Must be nice to be a man and have that luxury.
