"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Number one takeaway from the insane turnout at fight the oligarchy rallies, while chuck schumer cancels his little book tour and gretchen whitmer hides her face, is that there is zero constituency for bipartisanship

The correct comparison for CECOT isn't Auschwitz or one of the death camps, something done in semi-official secret as part of a project of mass murder, but Dachau: A place to send political enemies and "asocials" that the Nazis bragged about in the newspapers.

I hadn’t said anything about it on here, but my Official Take™️ on last weekend’s protest/50501 in general is that the protests are mostly fine and a good start but that the momentum and pressure must be kept up. Gotta be persistent, Rome wasn’t built in a day, etc.

Hey, the ‘Hawks hit this point number with 3 games to spare! Still a loooong way to go before they can think about being in the playoff conversation, though

In Deerfield, IL tonight for a District 109 school board meeting. A small crew from Moms for Liberty is here, supposedly to give public comment. Community members in support of trans students also here in large numbers with many signs and flags.

In a surprising turnabout, a committee that accused Northwestern of engaging in “progressive-left political advocacy” dropped a demand on Thursday for information about the law school’s legal clinics. www.wbez.org/education/20...

I think we can safely say that The Consultants have gotten to McMorrow and Whitmer based on their recent moves (McMorrow hiring Lis fuckin Smith for her Senate campaign, Whitmer doing all the same bipartisanship loser shit that Harris did last year)

Words can’t express how scared and angry I am that these fuckers are seemingly determined to speedrun the Niemoller poem, and I’m far down the list of people who will be harmed by this.

(Most of) BigLaw, university boards of trustees, legacy media BoDs and c-suite execs, et al., will never learn the lesson because they are ideologically aligned with Trump and the oligarchs

The number of people in the social conservative/fiscal liberal quadrant is way higher than any Very Serious Politics Knower realizes, and if the Republicans ever cure themselves of their austerity poisoning and figure that out (unlikely lol), they’ll win every election for the foreseeable future

I’m really glad you don’t have to spend real money on Pokemon TCG Pocket if you don’t want to, because the coin flip RNG can be really frustrating at times

I'm just gonna say it, at a certain point we should be *grateful* he's crashing the economy too, because the timeline where he kept the Biden Bucks flowing while doing illegal deportations would have been the true one way ticket to hell.

less than ten trans women tried to play collegiate sports and now the car dealership class gets to crash the global economy and set up sweatshops in the midwest

I'm sorry, but any major news media outlet not covering hands off protests, tesla protests, or the acts of popular resistance are making a deliberate choice -- to serve power.

It’s sad to lose our hegemonic stranglehold on the global economy but luckily Americans are resilient and won’t all murder each other the second we are denied basic conveniences and treats. so it’s basically fine

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...
