They aren’t smashing USAID etc. because they’re wholly unaware of its function and activities. They’re smashing it and similar operations because they believe they can fully outsource its work to privatized, rebranded, renamed contractors with significantly less public exposure.

Polite request to the people telling others not to use grocery delivery apps or Amazon : please start wearing masks when you go out. Some of us could get really sick and die.

We now have a website. udm14.com

If we DO have a 2028 election, the qualifying question for the primaries must be "How will you destroy the fascist movement for generations"

The reason why Democrats are not willing to use physical presence to prevent Musk & co. from running roughshod over the Federal government's innards is because then they will be signaling to the country that physical violence is a valid tool to fight fascism, including the fascism of Democrats

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

in 20 years the modern right has gone from sociopath John Galt fetishists in colonial cosplay to Silicon Valley Vlad Harkonnens who require an earth-eating LLM to show them how to put their underwear on; its no wonder why Andreessen-Horowitz fascism requires 20,000 serfs to every pissbaby mogul

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Imagine time traveling to 1942 and telling everyone this was one of the most prominent Nazis of the future.

Much like voting, I wish I saw nearly as much energy for any action that actually requires you to interact with your community and organize a real resistance as we see for "call your representative" bullshit. It is *slightly* more effective than voting, but it's mostly an obstructive form of

The democrat apologists just refuse to understand this guy cost them way more votes than whatever poster they have an individual grudge on.

"YoU tHiNk BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE" No, one side wants to smash everything with hammers and the other side spends its time building hammers for the next guy to inherit. Those are totally different roles, but they're still gonna result in everything being smashed to pieces. No thanks.

The "move fast and break things" strategy applied to the highest levels of government. What could go wrong?

Take note of which things Democrats are willing to fight for and which ones they aren’t. It’ll help you pretty easily identify what their real priorities are.

Someone tell Schumer that the OPM is being taken over by college students protesting a genocide so we can actually see some urgency from the opposition party

*smug liberal voice* gosh where's the protests now that trump is in office smh bernie bros fingernail emoji kermit sipping tea dot gif

All these fascists talking about preserving and protecting western culture and I bet none of these idiots even has ONE copy of Prospero's Books at home

one thing that has become crystal clear over the last two weeks (if it wasn't before) - these are not the guys we need right now www.idiotbox.site/p/these-are-...

“Why aren’t the democrats doing anything?” It’s almost like they have been fascistic enablers this whole time like leftists have been saying this whole time

The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex

Nah bro you’re totally overreacting, it’s very normal for someone to put their hand on their chest and then fully extend it with an open palm and all fingers together three times, that’s just how people wave these days bro

idk I feel like the government shutting down a very popular app due to how widely we were able to access information concerning a hushed genocide should be alarming to everybody regardless of your interest in using the app yourself

Lmao TikTok shutting off even after Biden promised not to enforce his own ban on the last day of his presidency as we see videos of thousands of Palestinians returning to north Gaza after one phone call from trump really shows just how pathetic and truly vile Joe Biden really was. Fuck you, Joe.
