Three Track Mind

In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.

“It is critically fucking important that I get to remain sheltered and ignorant of the reality of workplace discrimination!” How whiny do you have to be to go this hard at corporate attempts at DEI? How pathetic do you have to be to decry workplace harassment training? Grow the fuck up, Chucky!

Is this an admission that when Noem and Trump name their enemies that they are deliberately increasing threats?

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

To a truly bad person, hearing that you’re a bad person is incredibly damaging. But sometimes it’s a necessary damage.

This might be a little galaxy-brained, but I'm starting to think those who want to eliminate autism are largely driven by the fact that autistic people have ZERO problem pointing out moral or ethical lapses in their peers, which is something amoral and unethical people HATE.

This might be a dumb question, but if they can’t release details of the people under investigation, doesn’t that still leave any records about Republicans eligible for release?

Attempted to call Durbin this morning. Four of his five offices aren’t taking coveralls and calls aren’t connecting to staff. Poor Rock Island office is only one getting the message this morning.

It was speculated. Now it’s confirmed. The most predictable criminal enablement possible.

Working class whites are triggered into voluntary servitude by explicit appeals to racism from the ruling class.

Dick Cheney walked so Donald Trump could run this country into the ground.

Note that when Trump builds The Beast all the right-wing conspiracies about government tracking completely evaporate.

Next you’re going to tell me this isn’t first time! /s/

Meanwhile, my conservative counterparts have only grown louder and more vicious. It’s like tone-policing only works on one side of the political spectrum, which is strategically advantageous to the other side.

Someday, we need to have a conversation about how conflict-averse people cede the political landscape to those who don’t care about your life, let alone your feelings.

As I aged, my politics have moved further left, but my willingness to share my passionate opinions in public has waned.

Also? What does it say about Platner that he woke up with a mysterious tattoo on his chest and didn’t even ONCE research what it meant over the next 17 years?

Let’s say Platner was drunk when he got the tattoo in 2007. So what? Was he drunk for the next 17 years as he saw it on his own chest in the bathroom mirror every morning? If I get drunk and get a Pikachu tattoo on my chest, I can’t be offended 17 years later when people assume I’m into Pokémon.

The tattoo is from 2007. He was using “gay” as a slurs up till 2021. Jacobin may accept that he turned over a new leaf since then, but most of us can smell the bullshit you don’t seem to notice.

It wasn’t even that long ago that he was dropping slurs like Andrew Dice Clay! I’m gonna need his redemption period to last longer than his Nazi tattoo before I consider him for ANY public office, let alone US SENATOR!!!

They want slavery and slavery was the model for fascism

Until that becomes a discussed reality we will stay in hell

I would pay good money for a livestream of Crockett and AOC taking Trump’s cognitive test live. Read the questions out loud for all the world to hear how fucking ridiculously basic this shit is.

Anyone else notice MAGA clamoring for Jones to resign but not Platner? 🤔

What a terrible take.

Surely these are collaborations with MAGA trash, right? Right?!?

I like Senators who've never required a literal coverup for their Nazi past.

I have seen a lot of people downplaying the Platner stuff as "he wasn't even that appealing" or "he didn't even have a chance of winning"

And I wish we wouldn't do that. I think that really undercuts the clear moral statement:

Even if he was a guaranteed win, he should still be out.

End of story.

Not only dumping shit on America, but also on the American flag. #OnBrand

Okay, is it just me or does she have totally sunken eyes? I guess it’s eyeshadow, but she looks like she’s at risk of losing her eyeballs in them sockets.
