tomothy, the raccoon

Ps always totally appreciate when people are burned out by Labour but the Green Party is a completely different party.

We have a very democratic structure: decisions and policies engage the membership through grassroots democracy.

A totally different experience to the top down approach of others.

The Green Party Vs Something New | Novara Media Maybe the new left-wing party already exists?

Whole podcast about this kind of question here -

TLDR: The Green Party is already an umbrella (all parties are!) But with 60,000 members, 4 MPs, 3 Assembly Members & over 800 councillors - it's best place for environmental, social, racial & economic justice to grow.

The truth is, there is only one language that Labour speaks and that is the language of political pain. For so long as Keir Starmer thinks we'll all go crawling back to Labour at the next Election he will continue to court the Reform vote. We need to tell him we won't.

The origin story of Bari Weiss and The Free Press is that they were fighting for free speech, but the real origin story is that as a student she tried to get Middle Eastern professors fired. They are a snitch organization for the Trump regime.

Again, she tattled on my wife to their boss for refusing to meet her for lunch. Being a snitch is her whole shit.

Standing comfortably back and waiting for this to backfire fascistly

honestly don’t know how to deal with a world where the White House is promoting the idea that race is a biological reality please don’t yell at me or tell me that it’s been obvious they’re white supremacists for a long time I know I’m just expressing distress

Pikachu was spotted amongst anti-Erdoğan protesters fleeing from police in Antalya, Turkey last night.

I guess my point is that there is a vast gulf between someone saying

1) I wanted Trump to hurt other groups but he also harmed my own group

2) I now pay more for medicine and I don’t know how I’m going to make ends meet

One requires a follow up question, the other requires basic fuckin empathy

I have seen multiple people do this to people who voted for Harris but happen to live in states like Alabama or Texas.

I’m pretty sure the guy was *not* a Trump voter but even if he was, this is about insulin, not a yacht. When someone can’t get medicine, regardless of who they voted for, the correct response isn’t fafo, it’s “I am outraged with you, did you hear about what’s happening to ___? That’s messed up too!”

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

That’s rich, coming from the guy who used his power as a federal judge to start making (at least) interns and clerks sign nondisclosure agreeements because he was afraid of being outed as a sexual harasser.

"they beating yo ass on astronaut twitter"

the NYP article is even better hahahaha they're seething over it

they put in the newspaper that he got bitches

The image shows a webpage from the Whitman-Walker Health website, captured via the Wayback Machine on January 23, 2025. The page highlights healthcare services, specifically "Peer Support," with a background image of two men engaged in conversation—one with a beard and a brown hat, the other in a light-colored shirt. At the top, the Whitman-Walker logo and the tagline "we need you." are displayed, along with two contact phone numbers: 202.745.7000 and 202.978.6123. Below the main banner, a "Services Menu" is visible, listing various healthcare services: Health Services Smart Immediate Care Gender Affirming Care Women’s Health Pediatrics – Care for Young People This webpage suggests that Whitman-Walker Health provides comprehensive healthcare services, including specialized care for different populations.

The image displays a menu of healthcare services on a blue background. The title "Services" is at the top, followed by a list of offerings, including: Primary Care HIV/STI Prevention & Care Behavioral Health Dental Health SMART Immediate Care Telehealth Accepted Insurance Insurance Navigation Legal Services Community Resources Below the list, there are three buttons labeled: "Become a Patient" "Pharmacy" "Patient Portal" The design appears to be from a healthcare provider's website or digital platform, offering medical and support services to patients.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.

This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

When going out to protest, the goal shouldn’t be to get arrested. Do not run yourself into arrests. Do not just hand yourself over to the state.

This is utterly abhorrent

Elon is one of those guys you’re constantly told how hyper intelligent they are despite never demonstrating anything beyond “being rich”

Nate Silver shares a screenshot of someone saying As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There's zero evidence in his biography of anything higher And I want to repeat that now lest you think it a typo There's zero evidence, from his life history, of musk having anything higher than 110 IQ Nate Silver responds: He's an exceptionally smart and accomplished guy. The much better take is that high IQs serve as a force multiplier for both positive and negative traits. Like how can you be a remotely competent historian without recognizing that major events in human history are shaped by high IQ, high-agency people who are bad and/or flawed and/or dangerous.

Mom, come pick me up, they're coming up with the silliest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History

But what if he jumps on top of a mushroom, hits a brick on the ceiling with his head, and money falls out

Judge decides to keep Mangione shackled on his arms and legs "for security reasons" and says he will remain that way unless he has to sign something.

Agnifilo argues against this decision: He is a model prisoner, there is no reason for him to be this way.

Not happening.

she made the greatest posting mistake you can make, acknowledging a dunk on you like this

Luigi Mangione attending court today in New York.

A guy got really angry at me today for using the phrase “50 year old South Park guy” and he looked about 50 years old and I said “do you watch South Park?” and he was like “look, that’s not important right now”

Her look is fire. I love a woman in a suit. I wish I was tall enough to pull it off.
