and now that i can say this with mY full chest, ice and that entire administration.

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

This is just heartbreaking on so many levels. The original tragedy, compounded by AI companies preying upon the surviving parents of the deceased, compounded by ghoulishly interviewing an AI facsimile of the deceased.

Just utterly revolting and horrifying and saddening.

"Nyahhh I was assaulted by the comptroller" That's what you sound like.

Lander says he's fine, lost a button in the scuffle earlier. "I will be fine but Edgardo will not be fine," he says of man taken by ICE when he was detained. Lander says he has not been charged at this point.

"Now that we've thrown all of our cards away, this game has gotten a whole lot easier to play"

There's that too. I don't like the stress and what it does to me but there's no denying that getting ramped up like that feels good for a bit.

I deal with this a lot. I think most of it is just that the people aren't there to bug me anymore while I'm trying to get things done.

But why though?

I really do like that this is a prime example of labor forces being capable of reinforcing a democracy.

Are there 5 sweeter words in the English language than "announcement of a general strike"? Solidarity & strength ✊

fondly recalling how after Jan 6 Congress went home for a long weekend, didn't start impeachment proceedings for a week, which then took another month

This seems like an excellent time to admit that I don’t know what’s going on and that I am happy to listen to people who do

wtf

I guess we just get both a Trump dictatorship and an "opposition party" that will continue to be feckless and useless and hasn't learned a damn thing.

I've been hopeful about rebuilding the party from the ground up, but if they're going to dig their heels in, nah just burn it down, then.

Like, if we're going to lose everything and we get to deal with resisting Trump for another 4 years, the small silver lining for me was that enough liberals would maybe learn something from this experience. But I guess not?

A month after a really disappointing and crushing defeat, and already, in almost every space I'm in, liberals are just throwing their hands up, declaring the electorate to be idiots, Dems can't get their votes without lying to them, etc.

I guess we didn't lose hard enough to learn anything?

I'm a dumbass who didn't think you were kidding.

I am hopeful that these people get torn out of the party apparatus over the next 4 years. If you had anything to do with the Harris campaign strategy you should never find a job in politics again.

I know there's lots of liberals with their heads in the sand, still. However, several people who were demoralized yesterday are asking the right questions today and I've had great conversations in the past 24 hours with people who wanted me to shut up months ago.

"reasonable reasons"

No, it is not reasonable to not vocally and loudly support trans folk when the opposition is on board with murdering them. If we accept the conceit that POTUS has little power here, then there's no reason for her to shy away from the support, either.

She's the only ring announcer in recent memory who actually has her own following. Like, wherever she goes, she will bring a non-zero number of fans with her. I'm not sure that's true of literally any other ring announcer.

Give it time, they'll get bored when the bird pond runs out of birds.

So who wants to tell liberals that when the election is over, and /if/ Harris wins, that the danger won't be over, and that marginalized folks who have been convenient cannon fodder thus far will, uh, not forget?

I mean, other than me. Somebody they listen to, perhaps. Any Republicans available?

It is genuinely frustrating that this is what it takes for liberals to get on board.

It'd probably help if liberals weren't so ghoulish and descriptive about all of the cannon fodder they're willing to step over to elect Diet Evil.

Also, you couldn't live without responding to the response, this is such a silly way of engaging.

dems not even giving a palestinian a speaking slot and also continuing to hit hard right on the border and people immediately making excuses for both makes for an unfortunately predictable view of where the next four years will go
