self-awareness is such a scam bc now i can see all my problems AND i still have them? rude

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

He's giving:

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

I know people are criticizing the Banner for platforming raw milkers (and the headline and framing *are* trash), but they are reporting on it because a state delegate introduced a bill that would legalize raw milk for human consumption in Maryland (HB1449 - write to your state reps about it)!

At the core of transphobia is the belief that men are inherently superior to women. It's the reason fascists and evangelical fundamentalists embrace it so wholeheartedly.

Can't wait for an originalist to tweet that well actually the American Constitution has always been pro-King

There were a lot of hilarious signs at today's Philly protest (because Philly has A+ protest sign game), but this was my favorite from an "I want that as a tattoo" perspective.

The US has always contained far more fascists than communists, and fascism has always posed a much bigger & more proximate threat to democracy. Yet we've never had a "brown scare." No McCarthy-esque hearings to root out fascists embedded in gov't. Wonder why that is.

Not turning into the Joker because I am going to turn into fucking Thanos at this rate

(Screenshot to crop out the meta ad we’re all tired of seeing)

And this question from @jamellebouie.net is not far fetched. The CDC used to collaborate closely with WHO to determine the composition of the next flu vaccine. A highly coordinated, data-driven process that involved global influenza surveillance, virological analysis, and vaccine strain selection.

David Lynch Duran Duran concert ?! (very complimentary)

As I’ve stopped all cable news and been healing from surgery- do you know how easy it is to simply not know what is going on?

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

A Galentine’s Crafternoon (@ Night).

What I keep saying: Democrats need to stop viewing people as a resource to exploit and start viewing the party as a resource for people to access.

If you listen to 80s alternative/pop satellite stations/streaming playlists, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how many 90s song (and even some 80s top 40 songs) are covers. And I think if you listen to a 70s channel you’ll hear songs you thought were originals to the 80s, etc, etc …

You can tell this is about controlling women, not protecting them, because they cannot fathom men also having a gender or an ideology of what it means to perform that gender in society. And they cannot fathom it while calling Trump daddy and worshipping “masculinity.” Bunch of real weirdos.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

The fun thing about catching the measles is that causes something called immunity amnesia, which is a long-term condition that occurs when the body forgets how to fight certain pathogens. The measles virus destroys memory cells that recognize and respond to pathogens. It can last for years.

Reminder: Black history offers many examples of fighting authoritarianism, so one doesn't always have to look to Europe. Nazi lawyers looked to Jim Crow for inspiration for their racist laws. Read as much about struggles against Jim Crow as you do about other examples of resisting authoritarianism

Would genuinely love to see that broccoli haired boi try to push his way past the security guards at the Pentagon.

It got caught on camera!

Guys. I get that his position as POTUS means you have to report on what he says, but you do not need to do a lengthy thought experiment on every last dumb idea.

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

It should also be mentioned that even IF police were defunded, schools desegregated, and trans people allowed to sport & piss where they wanted it STILL wouldn’t justify America’s cliff dive into fascism. No matter what the reactionary centrists might say.

Free yourself from any illusions that good policy and economic conditions determine what voters think and do. It’s all media vibes now. We have to live with it

According to an analyst, Elon Musk often goes into “Demon Mode” and doesn’t even remember what he’s done after he comes out of it. But thank God we don’t have a woman amirite
