When I was building my high school history curriculum, I was super stoked to expose kids to the women who were anti-suffrage. A whole story there that is never discussed. Alas, I never had the opportunity, but I have it all saved just in case.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens?

GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.

DS9 "The Search, Part II"; Garak in the Replimat, leaning in, with caption: is that our leaders have simply gone insane.

The Islamic regime is claiming more than 50+ β€œmartyrs” were killed at a girls school in Minab …except they forgot to mention that the school is literally part of the Asif corps of the IRGC on base, which was targeted. Not only that, it’s also being used as an IRGC admin, command and medical facility at this time.

Meanwhile, Anti-regime media has said no students were killed nor was the school itself the target.

Those school girls were soldiers and therefore deserved to be obliterated by a US/Israeli bomb, but also they're not dead but also it'd be good if they were dead

indiscriminately bombing Iran is not a distraction of the Epstein files, it is a validation of their significance as more than a sex pest hunt. this is what elite impunity for morons looks like. a school turned to rubble on a whim.

most shockingly of all, the alien craft was reportedly adorned with a sort of bumper sticker that said "Earth Hoes Cant Fuck"

People really don't know the etiquette in these situations. It's maddening.

So the women’s hockey team got fresh pasta at a swanky restaurant in Milan with Stanley Tucci and the men’s team got cold McDonalds in a room blaring Toby Keith where the President didn’t even eat with them. Y’all idk if you’ve noticed but the patriarchy sucks FOR YOU.

β€œOur opposition calls us paid protesters,” she said. β€œThey cannot comprehend or understand that this is coming from the deepest corners of people’s souls. They cannot get their heads around it.”

You'd think a white supremacist would buy a motorcycle from a "white" company, but in a weird way it kind of makes sense that the Nazi rides a Japanese bike.

Also, I've never met a Harley rider who wasn't an asshole.

Speaking of Ridley, I wish he'd made his original, modern-day take with RH as the villain being hunted by Nottingham. Failed opportunity there.

It's my number 1, but I haven't seen Robin and Marian or the 1938 Robin Hood. I love Prince of Thieves, but I'm not sure it's really a Robin Hood film; more inspired by the story. And Ridley's Robin Hood is just bonkers.

The lack of self-respect you are exhibiting by just sitting there and taking this shit.

Who is the winnable voter who will be mad at the Dems for choosing not to participate in this obscene display? What is the cost these people fear?

I remember when Rick worked at KEZI here in Eugene. Always wild to see what he's become.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

It is, roughly, the same defensive strategy Washington employed against a vastly superior British army during the revolution. Pick at the margins and wait for the Brits to move too far and fuck up. At some point, they will find themselves in Yorktown, ready to give in.

Honestly, Mamdani doesn't really have to do much at all. The NYPD is a mess and fucks up a lot. Let them. Let them fuck up, swoop in to offer solutions, and let the NYPD fuck up again with their opposition.

I don't think people appreciate just how much power the NYPD has. It's a permanent political force that is highly organized and outlasts any mayor. You cannot simply take such a force head-on. You need to be strategic about it. You also need to use its weight against it.
