As a former Evangelical, watching the Evangelical church support the current models for the Anti-Christ and the Beast moving forward is just horrifically fascinating. You played yourselves.

I have read the email from OPM. It is not what has been reported. IT IS NOT A BUY OUT. It is an exemption from the partially unenforceable return to the office EO until end of the Fiscal Year. You may have to work every single workday until the end of the FY. No guarantees. All discretionary.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

A few years ago on Twitter a guy was complaining about how there were no white people on morning shows anymore and posted a picture of a black weatherman. I told him all the other people on that show were white and he said “but ‘they’ wish they weren’t” and I feel like that explains current politics

I'm thinking of these words from a pastor in Texas, who'd worked to defeat a far-right sheriff who has overseen a surge of deaths in his custody. The sheriff won reelection. "We are in this work not because we thought we would win elections, but because it’s the right thing to do."

Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

This is such a great thread. Let me add that there is nothing that you, an individual, can do, that will scale because you are one person. The people arguing that you should only do things that “scale” are justifying not doing anything.

the answer to this sort of insipid bullshit is always to shift focus to the politicians failing to reach those voters. the democrats could have won, laughably easily, with different tactics. they could have not sent bombs to be dropped on kids for a year, for a start. but they didn't want to change

The more I see how the US population reacts to Trump, the more I understand the German population under the Nazi regime and the more confident I am in calling them Nazi.

Really is infuriating how we kept being told by Dems that there was nothing Biden could do about abortion or trans folks for years and now Trump is basically making himself king of the US via executive fiat.

keep seeing commentary on elon morks nazi gesture questioning wether hes just being immature troll or actually has fascist belief. this analysis is the classic 'EVIL OR DUMB?' dichotomy (are they evil, or are they just dumb?) but these commentary folks fail to grasp the obvious answer: elon is both

the democrats lost because they hid biden was going senile, didn't do a primary, delayed kicking him out while doing a bunch of embarrassing infighting, promoted an unpopular candidate, & had her run as a conservative palling around with the fucking cheneys. they fucked it all by themselves

The expectation that Trumpists would ever admit they were wrong, rather than blame everything on their favorite Emmanuel Goldstein, was always wrong. They would die with Trump’s knife in their back whining about Biden.

It will save you time and mental energy if you understand that a lot of white people don’t believe anything is racism unless the person doing it is wearing a shirt that says, “I am doing this for a racism.” Plausible deniability is a social survival tool for them in a way it has never been for us.

When I was researching FEED--the first of a series of novels about pandemics and their effects--I ran across one of the most frightening concepts I had ever seen in non-fiction. It held that humanity has been living in the anthropocene--the human age--but was approaching the pandemicene.
