tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

Man, they know the marches this weekend are going to be huge and full of everyday folks and create terrible optics for them and they are just going all-out with the dumb "soros-funded" stuff to try to limit the exposure their fox-bubble base gets to any of it

The whole story is even worse. The ICE agent, having allowed the family to put the dog in the bathroom so he wouldn’t be a problem, waited until the dog owner was outside in their truck getting their ID, entered the home, busted into the bathroom, and shot the dog

*for no fucking reason*

Which major party candidate ran further to her left since 1968

Mirroring police tactics for humor. Sound on!

We’re gonna get “I haven’t seen the video”s this week like you’ve never seen

That's pretty irrelevant to holding power, though

She ran the second most progressive major ticket presidential campaign of the modern age, just behind Biden 2020.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

"this idea that Republicans have captured the spirit of the volk, and Democrats must imitate them to appeal to the “real” Americans

even though it is contradicted by actual empirical evidence

also concedes all the people Republicans target indignity and repression—here, women—are less American."

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

7% of the country thought Harris was too conservative. That is not a durable base to win elections with. It will very much not be the floor, unfortunately!

FT: here's where the rich spend their money - and where they're going to be if you might want to find them, comrades, for reasons.

I know /why/ people want to believe it, it's because that would erase from the conflict one of its actual points of moral complexity, but to be frank, I'm not going to endorse nationalist propaganda just because it is from a side (the Palestinian national cause) I am in favour of

It's actually really funny how keen people are to die on the hill that if not for [x outside variable] Mizrahim would see themselves as Arabs and dress themselves in a Palestinian flag onesie. That's just not an accurate description of reality and nothing written by Shlomo Sand will change that!

The key to that image isn't the manure or the crown it is the fighter jet bombing American cities

A leadership group as deludedly very online as the Trump administration is capable of inflicting extreme harm on an American population whose real world demands and aspirations increasingly contradict the fantasy world constructed around Trump and his courtiers

If I told you "3 cops mounting a gigantic cock and yelling in pleasure" was an Alabama arrest video and not a pornhub niche short you'd never believe me

This is what the Internet used to be like

No, but scope creep in the activist sphere is a big problem

If your organization is dedicated to, say, housing homeless people and you find yourself drawn into every worthy cause, doesn't that make you less effective at your goal of housing homeless people?

Liberal speakers at this No Kings rally in an East Texas city that's R+20 and the last one straight up just said that if the Heritage Foundation wants blood they'll get it lol

It’s giving Big Bob Pataki of Big Bob’s Beepers

Once upon a time, "I have given my word and I must keep it" would have been the epitome of a conservative position.

I miss that old tweed-stuffed, Kipling-quoting, country-squire model of conservative. Awful they may have been at times, but they weren't generally cads and spivs.

Taking things to the next level by insisting everyone refer to cornfield mazes as "metroidgrainias"

As best as I can tell from retrospectively reading the transcripts, the dog slept through the whole thing, but I like to imagine that some of it percolated into his dream world where he enjoyed being told “What a great question!” and ”That’s exactly right!” and “Good insight.”

Friend, I’ve been a criminal defense lawyer in the city since 2004. I know what’s realistic and what’s not. I help protect others. And I’m saying from an informed perspective that people should not be paranoid about no kings protests. This is not some black bloc bullshit.

ive discussed this with a few friends off site in more detail before, but a new insight/connection via third eye was granted to me just now

his death and squirtening had the same effect on them, just as the video of gaddafis death with funhole probing had on putin

Yeah honestly if you have like anxiety or whatever and doing these things helps you feel safer, fine. But I just have no fucking patience whatsoever for the whole ‘heh. listen up kids, the pros are gonna tell you how it’s done’ sneering that accompanies what boil down to emotional support rituals

Damn the divinoparticles must be off the charts

there is only one Portland and it is on both coasts
