other thing driving people so hard for "promise your vote right now for this shitbag years in advance" aside from the anxiety that cannot be quieted is the gnawing sense that the party CANNOT be budged from the 'no change+abandon minorities even harder' tack, so it's all yelling at everyone else

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

In 2025, 57% of our chief scientists and 53% of our science party members were women, and women work at every level within Schmidt Ocean Institute. Today, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and every day, we celebrate the women exploring and studying the ocean.

reminder that as insurrectionists and domestic enemies of the United States, all Republicans everywhere are constitutionally banned from holding or seeking public office, so every position they hold they hold illegitimately, and every vote they receive should be deemed invalid

feels like i should re-post this every few weeks

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

What the young person in the brown sweatshirt recognizes is that some views are, in and of themselves, violent. Such as the support of a secret police that kidnaps, murders, and tortures.

It's not even a "now shifting" thing. He's *always* been like this. In CA he's pretty widely disliked by both the right and the left. The only folks behind him are the Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd and centrists.

Every authority figure in existence doesn't want you to know this, but this is how you treat all bullies.

The system is rigged — and Trump wants to keep it that way because his own power depends on it.

What drives Trump is simple: he cares more about protecting the interests of those with power than those with none.

So when he and his regime lash out about Epstein, understand why.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone that the Trump admin. has provided Netanyahu w/ a “blank check” in failing to enforce the ceasefire in Gaza or push back on new West Bank annexation measures.

He warned Israeli officials are openly working to make a Palestinian state...

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

my friend’s kinda hinting at a digital gambling addiction during casual conversations, so one day, I asked him to go to the zoo, when we got to the bear enclosure, I shot his foot. He fell in, and then I shot his other foot

you need to be shenmuemaxxing. you need to appreciate the mundane beauties of your urban environment. you need to third wheel with immigrant hot dog venders and their hot girlfriends. you need to be eating lunch with your boys on the docks every day. you need to play hang-on

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger.

ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

"you're gonna get in trouble for that"

*stone-faced*

"okay"

goddamn son

Fandoms don't need to exist for you to enjoy things and form communities, and I would argue that half the time they undermine that. Every corner of mass media having a self-policing parasocial clan is such a deranged, late-stage capitalist phenomenon.

This post is a banger - it inspired me to write up a neat bit of dungeon design tech from the ol' mental toolbox. Read Sean's blog and then check out my take here x

Historically, they only listen to one thing

3-panel comic meme: 1) Dog holding frisbee in mouth saying "Pls spend??" 2) Hand reaches for frisbee, dog says "NO WAGE!" 3) Close-up on angry dog saying "ONLY SPEND" (meme based on original "Pls throw?", hand reaching and dog says "NO TAKE!", then angry dog "ONLY THROW")

Artists, qoute with something silly!
Monty Python a la Jay Ward, dating back to The Dork Age.

"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

the very idea of gavin newsom in 2028 is preposterous. he's a throwback to the time where you could put a haircut in a suit and have him mouth platitudes while the status quo grinds on. we're so far past that. we got pedophile nazis now. lol that you want to reanimate dan quayle

Autopsy of Canadian in ICE custody indicates his death was preventable, experts say Johnny Noviello’s kidney failure would have prompted symptoms of illness in the hours or days before his death

And yesterday that Canadian’s autopsy showed his death was preventable www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Ireland watching as Canada recently finds one of their citizens died in such a camp.

As we get closer to March a ceremony between the US and Ireland is now a hot topic as Ireland hears horror stories of their own nationals in a US concentration camp.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
