let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

yeah the failure to let a palestinian speak at the DNC, when you had a georgia state rep with a normie speech ready and waiting was totally unforced

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

I have to say that spending 8 entire years saying someone was Rapist Hitler The Fascist Who Wants To Kill You and then the moment he wins shrugging and going "well we can't do anything now" and voting for the Kill All Immigrants Bill is... not an ideal look?

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

OK OK jokes aside I do think it really is mind boggling that Iraq Lebanon and Turkey are all fairly democratic by any objective standard and Israel still gets this ludicrous "only democracy in MENA" nickname when it objectively disenfranchises nearly half of the people it controls from any rights.

this should be understood as an act of genocide. systematically enabled sexual violence at the scale of an entire nation and targeted at a group of people on the basis of their sexual identity/gender.

Could a state pass legislation eliminating qualified immunity for feds who violate state law?

What if what the things they got done are classified? What if they work at a remote post with limited access to email? What if they’re stuck on the space station?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Legally speaking the argument would be straightforward: Trump's second term never happened because, as an insurrectionist, he was constitutionally disqualified from the presidency. I worry about practical difficulties though. bsky.app/profile/reva...

That was one of many, many peaceful protests. My Dad participated in plenty of them in the 60's. They arrested him, tortured him with electro shocks then kicked him out of the country

Democrats should all start making the jerk off motion when asked about anything Trump-related, just to see how it gets described. “Controversial gesture that suggests self-pleasuring”

“Now that you’ve unfairly called us Nazis I have no choice but to do a Sieg Heil” is really where we’re going with this. Do not relent. The public is not on their side. “It was an accident” is not the same thing as “I’m doing it intentionally but ironically.”

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Captain America: Winter Soldier made the takeover of government agencies by Nazis seem a lot more sophisticated than what actually happens in reality.

As I've said, it's ironic on the level of the most exaggerated Greek tragedies that we had this hypertrophied, unassailable military that we all paid for and a massive intelligence gathering system, and we got destroyed by a fake news channel that we were stupid enough to play on military bases.

One of the reasons why we have so many fascists so comfortable w/flaunting their fascism is because for more than a decade, a big chunk of media & politicians have looked at open displays of nazism and said "well how can we be SURE maybe they're just being edgy," which plays right into their hands

If you can't be bothered to care about how Andrew Cuomo treats women in the workplace, maybe you care about how he treats Democrats. He secretly supported "renegade" Democratic Senators who handed control of the NY State Senate to Republicans. thetenant.org/how-andrew-c...

again, a big thing they can do that many are not is to show they are opposing Trump. Modeling resistance to fascism is vitally important! and it doesn't require much in the way of actual power to pass legislation. 1

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

If you are concerned about your Dem congresscritter taking part in some mushy budget compromise the thing you should do is call them.

Good excerpt but it deeply bums me out that even here the untrue “Gawker published a sex tape” claim has become the boilerplate

So uh, update to this story. Her wife is currently the prime suspect and also that wife had previously served 13 years on prison for stabbing her first spouse to death in 2000.
