What radicalized me?

Going trough multiple mental health crises and realizing that I would likely be homeless rn (and probably ☠️) but for the safety net I had from my family. So so many people are less fortunate. And it’s unacceptable that we just let them fall through the cracks.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

As we enter a new era in the US, remember it was the Democratic Party and its leadership that allowed this. They failed to meet the moment and, in doing so, failed us. That said, as we go forward, we need to remember that liberalism is not a counter to conservatism; liberalism is the same as comservatism but with progressive aesthetics because, at the end of the day, they both serve the same masters: capitalism and the corporate oligarchs.

See you on the other side, Comrades 🫡

You walked right into that one 😂

Truly, this should have always been the case. But it’s a good step

Absolutely F-ing YES!!

Re: TikTok, could Democrats have somehow done things differently such that it would have made Trump look even better to normies?

I mean truly, what could they have possibly done differently to make themselves look more incompetent and out of touch AND give Trump such a huge win?

If you really want to go nuts, don’t put cinnamon in the drink and instead do a cinnamon & sugar rim.

- 2 oz Mezcal - 1 oz Baileys Chocolate - 1 oz Crème de Cacao - 0.5 oz Tuaca - 2 dashes Cocoa Bitters - 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

I won’t pretend to be some incredible mixologist. But every once in a while, I stumble into making a great drink.

And this, is a great drink

(For a simplified version, nix the Tuaca and do 1.5 oz of the crème de cacao)

What a weird “error”

please add alt text when you post your weekly stream schedule! it's really easy to just copy the wording, paste it in the alt text, and check it for errors ☺️

"What do we want?"
"Incremental progress!"
"When do we want it?"
"Whenever really. Or never if that's easier. It's fine. We'll be fine. Sorry to bother you."

"Screenshot of a tweet by Nancy Mace with the text: 'Is a man, pretending to be a woman, reading a book about a tr*ns to young children, grooming the kids?' This tweet is a response to a post from 'Libs of TikTok,' which reads: 'Congressman [redacted] McBride, a man pretending to be a woman, explains to young kids that doctors can help them become transgender and it’s “good.”' The image shows a classroom setting where a person is reading to children, with banners displayed that say 'Jazz & Friends,' 'Welcoming Schools,' and 'NEA National Education Association.'"

This is why you don't give capitulate to attention seeking bullies like Nancy Mace. They won't stop and will just keep going lower.

The Dems are even worse for not standing up to her for this either. It's their own colleague being personally attacked every single day.

I imagine they are just looking for the best combination of price & terms for the deal. If I had to guess, I would say they probably don’t really care what happens to TT after the sale.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

"Excerpt from an article published by The Intercept. The text discusses policies around allowing disparaging remarks about transgender individuals, including children. It mentions that the term 'tranny' is no longer considered a slur and provides examples of speech that should no longer be removed, such as statements using derogatory language against transgender individuals in various contexts."

Meta is fundamentally evil company that deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet.

It’s going to be a long four years

Thank you! I appreciate the insights!

OBVIOUSLY

What’s good everyone?

Any tips/suggestions for how to best use this platform? Anything you wish you knew on day one?

So the Biden Admin does know what genocide looks like. Good to know.

Just found out someone I don’t want to block is on one of these lists I’m still subscribed to! So now I gotta figure that out. I don’t really trust these at all anymore.

House Passes ‘Laken Riley Act’ to Deport Unauthorized Immigrants Charged With Minor Crimes Forty-eight Democrats joined Republicans in supporting legislation that aims to deport more migrants charged with nonviolent crimes, a first salvo in a broader crackdown.

This is evil, and the fact almost fifty Democrats voted for this is simply unconscionable. "Minor crimes" here means NONVIOLENT crimes. No one should be deported for drug possession.

No human is illegal on stolen land. Abolish deportations.

Meta Now Lets Users Say Gay and Trans People Have 'Mental Illness' Meta rolled out a number of changes to its “Hateful Conduct” policy Tuesday as part of a sweeping overhaul of its approach toward content moderation.

Meta is pure evil and deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet. They removed all restrictions on content targeting protected characteristics i.e. hate speech.

Anyone working there is complicit. You are enabling this. You will have blood on your hands.
