I appreciate that dem leadership is, 10 years late, finally figuring out that they need to pursue gerrymandering themselves even if they want to maintain a platform that includes anti-gerrymandering measures. however, I do not think we can continue with a leadership that is always 10 years too late

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.

I see a lot of historians showing the clear evidence that a *huge* part of the KKK-wannabe-Nazi regime we're experiencing is a direct result of the country failing to punish confederate racists and traitors after the civil war.

This is an object lesson in the importance of force and violence in politics. ICE is able to flaunt the law because they're willing to use both. Until members of Congress start showing up with breaching teams and armed security, the law is irrelevant. Just a piece of paper.

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets
People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets
A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.
All I think about when I hear people say that itβs bad taste to dance on Hulk Hoganβs grave is that Emmett Tillβs monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply wonβt stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

AIO Gf left me because I listen to Jordan Peterson podcast
So yeah, my girlfriend broke up with me after finding out I listen to Jordan Peterson sometimes. I don't even agree with everything he says, I just find some stuff entertaining or thought-provoking. She said it was a dealbreaker and that it "says a lot" about me. Am I really the one in the wrong here or is this an overreaction?
EDIT: Thank you everyone, I will tell her I have stopped watching him

Something I donβt think gets explored enough is just how much the evisceration of the federal government weβre seeing is the result of Americaβs right-wing oligarchs being scared as hell by COVID-era expansions of the safety net and the popularity of those relief programs.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

this is why the "lie back and let the gop collapse on itself" advice is so dumb. you throw everything at them and when theres a crack in the armor you press your advantage. having them reeling every day is so much more satisfying, more productive to a political movement. jesus christ its so obvious.
