If religion is the opiate of the masses... patriotism is the crack cocaine.
I love people, not places.
You can't convince me to kill someone because a different flag flies over their home. You can barely get me to root against them in the Olympics

If you know a cop - and they do this shit and say "I'm just doing my job" why do you have them in your life? There's lot of jobs and there's also a lot of other people you can be friends with.

All the maga assholes who try the "I don't agree with everything he says and does" this is for you. You can't half support a President. You can't pretend to vote for one issue. A vote for Trump was a vote for ALL of this and the blood is on your hands - you can't wash it off talking about egg prices

My friend asks me what I do when this shit gets me so stressed out I want to go to sleep forever. I say, honestly? I go to bluesky. It isn't perfect and they don't like my pessimism very much - but every time - literally every time - somebody with a never surrender attitude picks me up! ❤️

True but also, fascism isn't sustainable.
People will lose their shit eventually if their politicians won't protect them and that never ends well for the ruling class.

Don't be so sure. History is written by the victors. And so far we ain't doing a lot of victoring.

You're just "virtue signalling"! No one on earth could possibly care about anything but themselves and their money! You're probably a CEO of one of them "Big Green" corporations Trump warned us about and definitely exist!

Yep - this is the real answer right here. Those 70 million plus fuckers. They did this. That's why 2 of them will never see their son or grandkids again.

Because although Trump is evil and dumb - some of them like Mitch McConnell and Stephen Miller are evil and smart - and now the institutions we have like the Supreme Court and Congress that could have stopped him are controlled by people just like him. Evil vile greedy assholes. We have no defenses.

@georgetakei.bsky.social let's pick a show for everyone to put on every device they own on June 14th during Trumps parade. We don't have to actually watch - let's just make sure we tank any ratings his dumb parade might get.
I know it's petty but I'm petty

You remind me of my ex-wife which means you have my respect. I almost pulled her to the dark side in Nov 24 but it didn't take. It's not in her nature. She dusted herself off and now she's fully back at it. I truly wish you the best of luck but I'm out. And I'm still recruiting quitters btw. 😆

I humbly suggest we stop having children. And spike the water with birth control.
Why do you think Elon the Great is always crying about the reduced birth rate? Why do you think Trump is offering $1000 child bonus? That's all they need from us anymore. We've lost and this is our only play.

When Hillary lost I was physically ill the next morning but I never spent much time wishing & hoping that she had won. I didn't think it mattered anymore. If Trump could get that many votes - if that many asshole MAGAs roam the earth - this world is not worth saving. I don't even want it saved now.

My amazing ex-wife - daughter of a Baptist pastor - crushed and molded into believing she was nothing and worthless - broke her chains and rose like a powerful unicorn from the bloody sea and lives a good life. Some can be reached if their hearts are good. ❤️

I feel your pain but suspect my sympathy means zip. I humbly suggest you leave.
Every relationship that doesn't support you - all of you - your whole being & soul. Every person or thing that didn't care. Spouse. Child. Friend. Mailman. Streaming service.
Leave them. You lost. This is how you win.❤️

Haha! I did not realize Beyonce was such a revered spokesperson. I guess with regards to Simone Biles - it was nice to see a champion athlete take the side of trans women when so many non-champions have piled on the anti-trans bandwagon. So that's why we care. Here's hoping Beyonce joins in.

Trans women in sports is an equal rights/human rights issue. If we are going to recognize trans people as full humans - not 2/3 of a human or any other fraction of a human - then we must recognize their access to all things in the public square. Winning and losing a game isn't a factor.

99.99% of women could not play in the NBA.
99.99% of trans women could not play in the NBA.
99.99% of cis men could not play in the NBA.
Never forget that sports are a dumb, silly game invented to stave off boredom. If anyone actually is inferior or superior in sports it means nothing. Nothing.

You can't exclude people who might beat you and then call your competition fair. The NBA, NFL, MLB - they take anyone regardless of gender. If you can average 20 points a night against an NBA defense - you're in the league no questions asked. If your sport isn't the same it's really just a hobby.

There is no fair competition in women's sports. All women have an unfair advantage in "women's sports" - because they exclude athletes who are better than them. Real athletes - real competitors - they take all challengers. A woman's championship is really just second place. And sports are dumb.

Simone didn't get enough support from where she expected to get and should have gotten support. Too many so called liberals wanted to quibble over her wording and attacked her instead of focusing on the real enemy. Simone had no choice and this is why liberals lose.

Simone getting backed into a corner because she didn't find enough support where she should have found support. I'll say this for MAGA - at least they know how to stick together and fight as a team.

Look what you made me do.
Big mouth dipshits who care more about playing the victim then making progress - backed Simone into a corner - and now we're getting further away from it. Good job. This is why you lose.

We demand fairness in women's sports - except for the part where we make it unfair by excluding half the population. That lack of fairness is just fine.
We really should just let trans women and girls play because no sports are real sports unless you accept ALL challengers. Also sports are dumb.

And I want speak up for all the boys who might have to see a vagina in their locker rooms! The tragedy! The horror!
Oh, nobody cares? Is it because we view our women and girls as fragile little babies who need men's protection in the scary world - not as humans and athletes with their own agency?

Thank you Simone Biles. Michael Jordan wouldn't speak up because "Republicans buy sneakers too." Appreciate you for putting truth above an extra dollar. True courage.

A real sports league - like the NBA for example - lets everyone play. If u can average 20 points a night against NBA defenses u will get a spot in the league. They don't care about gender - they don't care about trans or cis. Because it's sports. If you can't beat the best you're not really playing.

Don't argue with idiots. They don't understand you and you've wasted your breath. The issue is trans rights - and human decency and compassion. Points about bone density and faster twitch muscles don't mean shit.

Who cares if Simone Biles wins against a man - or wins at all? Sports are dumb & victory is for the physically blessed. If Gaines beat Biles in a boxing match - does that mean Gaines wins the debate? No.
Biles is a good person. Gaines is human garbage. If I was Gaines I would be worried about that.

Yes good point. And at the same time I think they default to believing that all GOP voters are simply voting in their best economic interest and they don't really want the vile, ugly stuff.

I think they are overly obsessed with "winning". The right is obsessed too of course, but they just go with dirty tricks.
Very few people appreciate the nobility in just standing for something because it's right and just and compassionate. Winning isn't everything. Just stand for something.

The NFL, NBA, MLB - are all WIDE OPEN to anyone who wants to play. Wasn't always the case - but that's another story. Today - all real leagues accept any gender, trans or cis. Any race or religion.
Any sports league that is not 100% open to everyone should just STFU and be happy they exist at all.

Not a single comment about what Gaines said? This is your take away from all this? This is what prompted you to take a break from cat memes and Taylor Swift posts? Sure, anti-trans bigot attacked a trans girl but what really has me angry is...
I'll get off your lawn cause your lawn sucks.
