I have no words. This is horrific.

My most hopeless hope is that, one day, maybe someday soon, clicking through to read full threads will be a matter of basic understood cultural norms

Honest question I keep getting asked is why aren't more people in the west outraged and stopping this and the honest answer is they either don't know how bad it truly is or they do and want the imperial bloodshed

Fuck Harry Potter.

Go read Earthsea.

Have you seen the commercial that brought down Kristi Noem?

It’s even more bizarre than I expected.

When a person observes another person vocalizing and they involuntarily *vocalize* what the other vocalizes it’s called echolalia *even* if it’s *extremely* quiet …

And that is *also* an Autistic trait.

When a person is able to observe another person’s mouth moving and they involuntarily move their mouth in synchronicity, but don’t actually vocalize …

That’s considered Echopraxia (repeat action)

It *is* a trait associated with Autism.

This is tragic and why capitalism is an evil. Because the cotton growers went protectionist for themselves instead of picking a better seed that required less of their money!

Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be.

The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.

Bush and Cheney killed a million people and Harris called his endorsement an honor. The profiteer architect of a war we all marched against. She was screaming into a megaphone that she and her party had no fixed values and everyone I know *still* voted for her. What more do you want from us.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Don't forget to set your clocks forward tonight to January 21st 2029

I somehow missed this a day or so ago. I had heard reports previously of playing of ice cream truck music but not of actual trucks but it doesn't surprise me as much as it should. So much rage.

The horrors continue here in Minnesota and some of it is so cartoonishly evil it sounds made up.

Ian McGinnis and his buddy Frank Scales traveled from PA to instigate counterprotestors of the white supremacist rally for content.

Per their own twitter, their footage was confiscated by NYPD after McGinnis (glasses) was detained.

Per source at the precinct, ATF interrogating/investigating arrestees (including but not exclusive to duo who tossed IEDs).

Rightwing macer Ian McGinnis likely receiving aggravated harassment/assault charges, will be transferred to Bookings for arraignment.

Oh, never watching this movie then. Pixar can go in the bun with the other fair-weather allies.

Markwayne Mullin was caught lying on the record about the former CDC Director, Dr. Susan Monarez, by his Republican colleagues in the Senate chamber in September. He’s not honest or competent, and anyone who respects him is a fool.

People act like people like me are demanding purity

And no

I’m just a broke black trans person who wants me and my disabled wife to like…live and not get shit on

For my friends not to be war casualties

Like sorry that the folks you are desperate to defend don’t care if my people die

DON’T FUCKING WARN THEM JUST DO IT

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

Same. Including having lived in Iran. I need some grown-ups to put an end to this horror show.

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

I respect the formating. But as someone who just blew last month's discretionary budget on Good Night, Moon stamps: how dare u

It's disqualifying for people proclaiming to be the ones analyzing politics to know know that shit.

I think the fact that so many white male lefty pundits apparently didn't know what a totenkopf was until the Platner scandal is kinda why we're in this whole mess, politically.
