The Jolly Roger flag
Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so letβs play a little game I like to call βNazi skull or not a Nazi skullβ
First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.
With me so far? 1/x

Is he talking about writing a check in the store? I think that's the last time I had to show id in a store, and it was probably 2005

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

No, it's just super, super racist. Like, because the food stamps are ending, minorities (referred to as "chimps" so possibly black people specifically?) are going to leave the county/state/country. One way or another.

Hey, @nytimes.com How about instead of another Iowa diner interview, how about you seek out these parents and see how REAL Americans feel about their neighborhoods being invaded by paramilitary thugs without their consent? Ask them now they feel about their kids being tear gassed!

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

I've been seeing quite a few MAGA edgelord accounts today.
Friendly reminder:
Block immediately, and do not engage.
I know they're not having as much fun on twitter with so many of us here, but it's not our job to pet them and feed them little treats of attention.
Do not engage.
