Really a legitimate fear.

If a government’s function is not to protect all its people, then it has no legitimate function.

We’ve gone from DEI is bad to being upset that the #3 most streamed artist on Spotify in 2024 will be performing at the Super Bowl because he’s Latino.

This isn’t just white identity politics or institutional racism, this is racism as official government policy.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is waging war against America with our military.

God forbid we call them nazis tho

I like it.

Imagine you're at a writers' retreat with the lads and you're all showing off a draft after dinner and then your mate's girlfriend goes here is the novel Frankenstein which I just wrote

It's raining and over and over the cat keeps going out onto the catio, then back in and walks up to me crying. Man, I don't know what to tell you — wish I could help.

Soon, the majority of government shutdown days *in all of US history* will have happened on Donald Trump's watch.

As much as I support a @generalstrikeus.bsky.social, we cannot even plan for one without establishing networks of mutual aid so that people can EAT when they refuse to work. No one is going to stop work without it. We CAN do it but we need a PLAN.

Liberals say that recent Supreme Court ruling have given the executive branch too much power. But they’re wrong, because the rulings only apply to Trump and will all be reversed when there’s a Democratic president.

One thing the Bible got right: When the antiChrist appeared, people wouldn't recognize him.

don't compare yourself to other people or where you think you should be or where you wish you were or even to you before it happened. it's only useful to compare yourself to where you were when you were at your lowest imo. every episode is a hard reset on Everything, so don't beat yourself up 🤝

I'll be honest I rarely try to push back against using "psychotic" as a synonym for evil in people's mentions, because I've literally never once had anybody respond positively. not once. but idk maybe it's worth it just so other people see it and feel less universally demonized

If trickle-down economics worked, the wealth would trickle down. That is, unless the name is just a dodge, a con.

If we taxed billionaires and corporations appropriately, those taxes could fund nonprofits. All of them 'Corporate giving' and 'charity work' is a pittance, a public-relations gauze to soften their images — much, much cheaper than paying their share.

When we think Robber Barons — or Captains of Industry, if you'd rather — we know they extracted great wealth and did great damage. But we can see their philanthropy, too. Carnegie libraries, Henry Ford Hospital, the Rockefeller Foundation

Musk's 'giving' seems to benefit research for his companies.
