Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Chills…

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Just replace vagrants with immigrants and see how easily your own government can convince you humans shouldn't have rights.

“I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, because of very cold weather.

So basically what he is trying to say is “I’m concerned about crowd size and don’t want to be embarrassed again…”

The Oval Office is back on the market…

Best take so far!

Appreciate the breakdown. Sadly it sounds like steam deck runs almost as good as my PC. 🙏
Still looking forward to your game and what it might entail.

Routine work processes that used to take 5 minutes now take forever, drain WiFi, and make my laptop hotter than the sun, killing the battery. Thanks processor-grinding unnecessary AI functionality bolted onto otherwise adequate work software! I wish I could turn you off! But apparently I mustn’t!

Post: Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

We’re not going back.

Treat the trolls that are popping up here like you would invasive spotted lanternflies -- stomp on them (with a quick block or report) and then just keep walking, with a little spring in your step because you're helping protect our ecosystem

i do not want supporters of a racist fascist rapist bigot anywhere near me tbh i do not think that is an unreasonable position tbh

Post by Charlotte Clymer: Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

Tweet: The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR Attorney General nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

Why do we deny that the global elite have a pedophile and trafficking problem? The Republican party are putting it on display, and we wonder why others who we thought we could trust fall in line with the rest of the depraved cabinet picks?

Force the sale so who? Elon can grab it?

The Technology the Trump Administration Could Use to Hack Your Phone Other Western democracies have been roiled by the use of spyware to target political opponents, activists, journalists, and other vulnerable groups. Could it happen here?

This should scare all of us. Despite some reeling in on the PATRIOT Act & domestic surveillance, the Trump Administration will almost surely attempt to wreck 4th Amendment privacy protections.

Wake up. This is not ok.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

Story about a bartender 86ing a patron wearing Nazi memorabilia despite sitting quietly and not doing anything, because letting one Nazi in eventually turns the bar into a Nazi bar.

And this, gentlefolk, is why we block Trumpists on sight.
