AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?”
I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter
This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.
I love and hate both how much and how little has changed in the 30 years since the original.
Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're at the top, ask any one for their stance
A million years of evolution, we get JD Vance
Truly though.. the original:
Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're at the top, ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle
@danny-elfman.bsky.social we need a 2025 version of Insanity.

I think we've out terribled Quayle...
All I can hear in my head is the scream of a 14.4 baud modem.

“Komrade Kompromat Krasnov” known Russian ASS-et and Queen Sofa’s new catchphrase…

Ohhh which yarn is that? Super black light reactive, I love it! *Puplove*
in 1933, the German Communist Party had a slogan: "after Hitler, us." they figured he'd fuck up so badly that voters would vote for them in the next election. Hitler abolished elections and had all the commies murdered. do you see where I'm going with this
I found a blanket pattern that was kinda what I wanted and then fiddled with it until it was right, so a bit of both!
