So we must plan to counteract it.
The easy explanation for Giuliani is that he is actually a refugee from the parallel Clown Universe, the universe made out of clown matter.
Everything is a distraction to people who have no memory.
Sounds like a good argument for open borders.

Are you surprised you haven't been murdered for saying that? Are you surprised Bluesky hasn't been shut down? Evil and power are not the same thing. While trump's evil is growing, his power is shrinking. The administration is desperate. A wounded animal can be dangerous, but it's still dying.
Firefighters save American lives, and that's not what Pootin' wants.

Want to know what the real crisis of masculinity is? Misogynistic heterosexuals. Imagine wanting to make love solely with people you hate! That's a fucking crisis.
Iraq’s Multidimensional Poverty Index shows material poverty has nearly halved since 2011, reflecting major gains in healthcare, education, housing, and food access, though regional disparities remain and officials stress the need for inclusive progress. #WEARETHEMEDIA #GOODNEWS #GSUS

Good news in SC! A federal appeals court ruled that a trans high school student must be allowed to use the boy’s restroom at school, after SC’s Bathroom Ban led to him being bullied and withdrawing from the school last year. Get the facts of the case ⬇️
Disgraceful.
I don't know who needs to hear this but Mike Johnson didn't hold his young son's weiner while he pissed to keep him from thinking dirty thoughts. He held his little weiner because he WANTED TO. Because he NASTY. But carry the fuck right on. 🙄

Much of the Good News @aaronparnas.bsky.social shares today involve hope for those seeking ways to address cancer--something RFK Jr. appears to scoff at. #FireRFK open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road
High-income neighborhoods think that low-income people moving in will lower property values. Low-income neighborhoods think that high-income people moving in will raise rents. We have a class segregation consensus.
Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes. The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

I hope someday humans learn nature has value in its own right, apart from the gifts it has given us.

Hey, if 47 turns the human race against authoritarianism then he has served a purpose.
It's difficult to understand what you're talking about.

I like the idea of putting the bad news first.

You suggesting people not speak out against the Nazis?
It'd be nice if the welcoming committee upon their first day was more peaceful than the 1/6 rioters but 100 times as big.

Advertising has been bombarding us with bad faith for decades and decades.
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
This is the intensity of messaging we need.
BREAKING: Republicans aren’t releasing all of the Epstein Files. They’re trying to silence Epstein survivors and protect powerful people like Donald Trump. We can’t let them. Get the truth out! #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
Tankies aren't communists, they're state capitalists.
Friends, we need to reign in the doomerism. Yes, myself included. Yes, it’s a terrifying time. Yes, these threats are very real and you should absolutely sound the alarm. But it’s also important to remember that the point is to overwhelm us. The point is to exhaust us and scare us so we give up.
you hear these sorts talking about so-called doomerism a lot but then they're hopelessly wound up in the idea that this rotted old fuck is a forever dictator, this man will be barely alive in 2028 if he's even still alive at all and that should motivate you to stand for more than "saving democracy"
The key lesson here is that whatever you feel, you should feel bad for feeling it
You should read Black Pill by Elle Reeve. It's kinda eye-opening to see how doomerism was born from incel culture, then gamergate and finally Q-Anon and how these translated into the real world and political mainstream. Best book I read this year... But so far I've only read 2 LOL
Doomerism is poisonous. Pessimism and cynicism are often warranted and probably necessary to some degree or another, but never dooming. Only dooming ends its senseless rants of vibe-based misery with "there's no prospect for things getting better so you should give up." It's wrong.
Let the rescinding of the freeze put wind in your sails, not tempt you to more doomerism. "They'll just try harder next time" is a needless response to a win. Of course they will. So the people fighting should meet the moment then, too. Some of y'all do not have the stomach for the long fight yet.
I'm so over Doomer Bros with their "we're cooked" and "welcome to the end...come watch my live about how it's the apocalypse now." 1. The revolution will not be streamed on Twitch 2. Doomerism = obey in advance. Why do these guys want you to believe you already lost and should stop fighting?
So he's a finance capitalist.
Some conservatives even say that to themselves. I've heard them mock themselves as babies for feeling sadness or disappointment. Pain, our evolved warning system, tells them something is wrong and they just tell it to shut up because they want to stay on autopilot.

American conservatism seems to be expressly against learning because it involves changing your mind about something.
Ex-LAPD deputy chief slams i.c.e.'s unconstitutional abuse of workers:
There's no reason populations have to continually grow. In nature, it's normal for them to rise and fall cyclically. Our leaders need to cut the narcissism.
The genocide is just a distraction from the omnicide.
The war on sanity is far too often overlooked. It's a pathocracy.
I think the fascists want to kill all opposition so they get to fictionalize history.
More retirement news: Conservative Wisconsin justice Rebecca Bradley will NOT seek reelection next spring. Liberals (as you all know now) have a 4-3 majority on this high-stakes supreme court. This is their shot to go up 5-2, in April.
(I couldn't resist the bad pun, but the exhortation is serious.)
Sioux!
Crush i.c.e.
Elon Musk's businesses can once again be held accountable to the rule of law as a result of Trump no longer corruptly shielding his interests. Given Musk's use of X to destabilise democracies, action should be urgently taken. Great to discuss on Sky News. Full interview: youtu.be/6DAYoTxXyc4?...
Huge support for CDC staff resigning over Trump and RFK Jr's purge of leadership outside the HQ in Atlanta.
Fixing the institution will require getting rid of Kennedy.
Our culture has severe daddy issues.
Yes. That's exactly, literally true.
Exactly pootin's plan.
There's some disinformation going around that the ousted CDC director wasn't really chosen by RFK Jr/Trump But he tweeted this earlier this year...
this garbage framing really needs to stop. it's not about crime. we know this. asking people how they feel about crime pretends that it is about crime. pretending it's about crime is supporting trump's framing. stop it.
I thought figureheads were supposed to have some sort of charisma.
Terrifying. Fascism is here.
Similar right-wing activity has been well documented elsewhere, and it'd be silly to think they're not at it here. That's good enough for me to informed assumption.
