Powerful point. It highlights the myths that the "elite" project about themselves and the media amplify. A random sample of regular people shows more courage and grit than one of the people who were born at or clawed their way into the heights of our society.
"Assisting" a domestic violence victim in unzipping his pants. Didn't Borat already cover this?
Doesn't say anything about defacing signs and hazard barriers. 🤔🤔🤔
We can stop with the "free world" bit now. That ship has sailed. 😐
Yup, and the only people other than Kevin Costner to watch Waterworld and like it...much less want to live it.
Funny, my fist wants to migrate toward his balls at top speed.
Note this is at the Seasteading Institute! It's jackasses that think not only can they live their lives in the absence of any government (ie without dealing with other people) but that they can do so out on the ocean, permanently. The sea is the most relentlessly unforgiving place on earth.
Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson are different presidents. Jackson was 1829-1837...it was Johnson who screwed up post civil war response.
Matthew doing the work!!! Glad to hear nothing was filed.
And with you! I did a whole set of resistance memes for May the Fourth.
In the near future Jan6er statues will join ranks next to the confederate statues. Confederates should have been hanged and their property given to former enslaved and their names made into synonyms for traitor like Judas, Benedict Arnold, Quisling and Vichy.
Do or do not. There is no try.
Jenna thinks Scandinavia is a country.
Depends on how you interpret "crime".
Prime reason that conservatives everywhere hate education. People who think for themselves and test the truth value of what they are told and keep track of who is reliable and who traffics in BS are anathema...and those that do make it through move away because living that shit is exhausting.
I agree about the suburbs. Something about the dispersion, low density of people in the suburbs seems to make protest more difficult and less impactful. But it has to happen, everywhere.
They want to increase the salience of "fear" and "safety". It's for show. If people weren't taught and told to be afraid of certain people and places, they wouldn't be. And *everyone* would be better for it, except for the sliver of people who seek control and thrive on division and sowing hate.
Yeah, declare a state of emergency *in the national capital*!
All the police procedurals, Top Gun, Dirty Harry, Escape From New York style disaster movies, etc have created fertile proto-fascist ground in the US.
Karin is champion of the world!
Very touching story. He says not writing as a D or R, but Republican policies make the problems he identifies worse. Who tries to expand Medicaid? Extends health insurance? Who promotes education? Who cuts taxes for wealthy? Invades other countries?
Fine line and few letters separate submarine guy and submachine gun.
Trump shot another perfect round of golf with 18 holes-in-one in a row, topping Kim Jong Un's incredible feat.

Strap up those cankles with tactical compression socks!
For them, "crime" means "people of color." That's it. Thus, they are "tough on crime" when they: -Arrest brown people; -Sick ICE on communities; -Call to execute innocent people; -Overthrow DC home rule... Peters, Maxwell, Trump, Flynn, Jan6ers, etc are white, so unrelated to "crime".
!! Only Orange Flush could fuck up a word like "bright".
I'll have to check it out. At the same, time I feel like living through it once was enough.
Thank you! Fuck Saint Ronnie Raygun. He put it right out there and everyone in the right places decided the dog-whistles weren't dog whistles. Reagan: I, a California Gov, will launch my campaign in Mississippi right where the Civil rights workers were lynched. America: Nothing to see here.
I'm so glad to see examples of reps standing up and fighting for democratic principles! Nicole Collier!!
Good talk. Together we can make positive change.
Interesting line of attack and assumptions "trans advocate" is making.
Fuck off, "prick" yourself. Yes, Pritzker is doing good stuff. Excellent. You aren't celebrating making allies mad. That's progress. It's not about loyalty. Fuck the party. It's about building power and reinforcing things you like and not devolving into a circular firing squad.
Trolling, yup. Changing the narrative takes effort, especially in a hostile media environment. LA troop deployment: lamag.com/news-and-pol... You referenced redistricting yourself. That doesnt just happen out of nowhere: www.cbsnews.com/news/califor... Who are you applauding?
No one's saying you shouldn't criticize inhumane positions you don't like or must cheer Newsom. Who are u applauding for supporting ur cause? If you consistently train ur fire on allies right as they're successfully attacking ur primary enemies who are full-on fascists, it damages your cause.
Let's see, at this moment Newsom is one of the few Dems successfully landing blows on Trump, who just deployed guard on *homeless* of DC and is worse for trans. Do you amplify his skewering? Nope, you attack him, at the exact moment that he's helping u. Yes, that makes u a jackass.
Here's one who thinks Mamdani is doing great and people who are going out of their way to criticize Newsom when he's doing something good and helpful are jackasses. Praise the things you want to encourage. Yelling all the time about shit you don't like doesn't get u what u want.
He does have impressive charisma, but unknown to "cult leader" in 3 months?🤣 Ghouls in the Israeli gov't bombing and starving a captive population as bigoted right wing Jews celebrate, but your primary worry is words you're putting into a NYC mayoral candidate's mouth.
"Stop bashing ppl"...for bashing ppl🤣 We've been screaming for bolder Dems. Got one and now u loudly insist, right now, you'll never vote for him. I'm calling u out: circular firing squad is a losing strategy. Change MFer! Defeating fascism is necessary precursor to achieving your goal.
Chaim Herzog has entered the chat.
Ooh, punctually! "Moscow is closer to Anchorage than Washington, D.C. Moscow is approximately 3,700 miles away, while Washington, D.C. is about 4,300 miles away." ...and Magadan closer still. Of course, puppet Krasnov doesn't want to make Daddy Vladdy wait.
They both wear height-enhancing shoes and they both make shit up.
If he ends up being the choice, yup. 100%. I'd crawl over broken glass to vote for him over the fascists. Not that many years ago, Obama was publicly not on board with gay marriage. Was having Obama better for gay (and trans) people's rights than McCain, Bush, Romney, Trump? Yes. Yes! Yes!!
If Putin is 5'7" on a good day, no way Trump is 6'3".
"Get me a sandwich" has a totally different vibe now. To the ramparts, with cheese!
With the absolute clusterfuck the last six months have been, I can't understand how it isn't far worse. Even then, low approval numbers don't mean much. Bush had terrible numbers, was still President...
Each of us individually needs to document for ourselves and history that we did fight. Perhaps it's too late or not enough. But that we didn't just roll over.
I think you nailed it. Well done!
The puppet is flying all the way to Alaska. Among the many reasons this serves Putin is that the trip from Moscow is shorter than to DC. Donnie flying to Alaska saves an hour or two for Vlad. Especially as he wouldn't get permission to fly through european airspace.
Have some empathy, he was going to play the top villain on "Franklin" but they decided to take the show in a different direction.
Ah, but it's not for show. It's to support and extend the rolling coup.
So, @muellershewrote.com : Maxwell has been "granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments" Maxwell's lawyer: "no such thing as work release in federal prison" He asserts something she didn't say. Even then, fed community release exists.
That's one explanation for the ever rising cost of college I hadn't thought of before. Hadn't occurred to me that the liberal arts majors were financing all those science labs. Just so the science nerds could go out and make STEM $ while Mom & Dad fretted about my philosophy degree.
Robert Bork *made himself* into a devil. Why would Reagan have nominated the guy who authorized the infamous saturday night massacre during Nixon admin except as a giant "fuck you?" If the whole Republican persona is driven by "fuck you", there is zero reason to just give them this one inch...
Report you saw a specific legislator actually back in Texas, perhaps at one of the top tier country clubs, preferably one in a gated community like Dominion. Their urge to respond and check it out will be overwhelming.
100%
Eisenhower was the last decent Republican president, and even then, with coup against Mossadegh in Iran, he seeded problems we still deal with today. Nixon treasonously scuttled Peace talks, extending Vietnam. Ford pardoned Nixon. Saint Ronnie Raygun committed treason with his Iran hostage deal...
Us older folks need to step up. Use the hurt and outrage as motivation. Some of the younger voters don't remember a time without Trump and Republican disrespect for Constitution.
For decades, the "pragmatic centrists", "institutionalists" and media bigwigs all said the corrupt proto-fascists were good people with reasonable policy differences.
...and their sacrifices won't even keep us free.
I don't actually think it's banal at all, though I've studied a lot of Chinese history. Communism with Chinese Characteristics was a long-standing line of propaganda. The reference is made explicit. It's really quite damning, especially coming from WSJ.
It doesnt "raise the question" it ANSWERS THE QUESTION that's already been raised countless times by other devious anti-democratic behavior.
So sad to see Newspapers caving in to Trump's atrocities.
CuoNO is a nasty piece of sh*t and I'm loving this self-immolation. He's always been this bad. It's just an indictment of the crap political dynamics that he became governor. Such a scumbag.
Proposing where? Asshat has no role where he can propose legislation. He's a disgraced former governor.
The sheer quantity of asshats that Oprah has platformed should get more attention.
Yup. And Saint Ronnie Raygun *launched* his election campaign there in Neshoba, dog whistling to those supremacists. Followed by treasonous back-channel agreement with Iranian revolutionaries to keep the hostages, damaging Carter. A relationship he tapped again with Iran-Contra. Sound familiar?
The internet is smarter for having @mcavalletto.bsky.social posting on it.
If he ever really goes to space, hopefully he just opens the door. Is it wrong to think he should take swimming lessons from the OceanGate CEO?
I hope so. A lot to be pissed off about. There was a lot of talk after the Roe decision was overturned. Maybe just needed more time and norganization?
Anti-semitism exists but false accusations cause real harm. You're making this shit up, perhaps to salve the cognitive dissonance you feel as you claim to be a victim but act like a bigot. Zohran is muslim & doesn't speak or condemn exactly as you want, that doesn't make him an anti-semite.
"The child abuse is coming from inside the House!"
Because it's just a more socially acceptable form of narcissism. They view that righteousness as a tool and weapon.
But, but, but, does the tough guy throwin' da gauntlet know Andrea is a girl's name, not a manly man's name? 🤣 Oh my sides. A heavyweight bout between Zohran and Daisy.
Same victim *at the same time* and maybe not even then. As many victims have stated, Maxwell and Epstein trained them and shared them around and sometimes stayed in the room to watch.
A part of this is dynamic is bystander effect. By the time most people recognize action is needed *by them*, the moment is gone. We need to prepare for these moments... literally create scenarios and practice responses. Just like with ICE raids.
Ah yes, important moment to condemn the perps...er...no...attack unnamed allies for a weak and inadequate future response which you foresee in your crystal ball.
Seconded.
The presumption of regularity is now a weapon for fascism.
MAYORAL candidate fails to loudly condemn *other people's words* tied to an overseas conflict that a biased reporter tried to gotcha into his mouth: NEVER! Other MAYORAL candidate joins defense team of leader starving occupied people in same conflict: MY MAN! 1+ year ago bsky.app/profile/prop...
Cape Buffalo News: Local man defends himself against armed stalker. "A true hero, he put himself between us and the attacker," said a grateful witness. The man charged at the bloodthirsty loon that traveled just to stalk and kill our kind. Other species have been targeted previously.
Hunters gotta have skin in the game or it's just glorified version of pulling wings off flies.
Assertions need proof & u now have track record of moving target: -"talks about" -"champions" -"will not condemn" -"embracing" Words have meanings. Why is he asked about *other people's* words?? Bigotry! His platform raises budget to fight "Hate" 800%... docs.google.com/document/u/0...
Take a long walk on a short roof.
I know the reference. It's simply not true that Mamdani champions violence against Jews. I don't understand your second sentence.
You know who didn't talk about globalizing violence? Mamdani. Check your facts. Cuomo did, however, join the defense team of a person indicted on multiple criminal charges who is currently carrying out a campaign of wide-scale slaughter that led to charges of crimes against humanity at the ICC.
Scat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Won't change anything. Some People's need to believe we worship Bill Clinton has nothing to do with reality. Nor does their worship of Trump. It's all stories they tell each other to support the comforting mass delusion in which they live.
