So if it's too much to ask Democrats to not send Israel weapons to do genocide, and it's too much to ask for them to codify Roe, and it's too much to ask for them to not vote for Trump's fascist nominees, and it's too much to ask for them to oppose mass deportations...what are they good for again?

dude could get a swastika tattooed on his forehead and the NYT would run 1000 words speculating on his possible interest in Hinduism

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Hell yea

these people hate us, they want us to die, and they are actively working to make it happen more and faster than it already is, in order to siphon as much wealth as possible out of 99% of the population.

eh, give it time. i’d bet everything i own this is just the “testing the waters” phase, since they picked the most socially acceptable target first.

If he wasn't a hideously disgusting mutant neo nazi cunt turd, Elon might be pathetically tragic, the story of a man desperate for anyone, anywhere to like him and no one on the planet does

Started to get a little self conscious about how much I've posted on a Friday night like people are gonna know I'm just sitting here with my cats but then i realized I'm proud to be sitting here with my cats

their other crimes include being insufferably boring and unfunny

thank youuuuuu you’re the first person i’ve seen pick up on the “cabal” thing. these christian fascists HATE jews - they just hate arabs and muslims a little bit more, so jews are useful to them, for now.

mm but they’ve happily unleashed many a hateful racist or misogynistic screed into the public sphere without second thought 🙃

I was already excited to click on a news story about Rudy Giuliani having a meltdown in court today and YELLING at the judge. But nothing prepared me for the courtroom sketch

Excerpt from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny:" "1. Do not obey in advance." "Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

A lil tip for the folks with shoe polish on their lips today :)

I can’t remember where I saw this and would 💙 to give this artist credit — was it on here? Or X? Or less likely LinkedIn?

Biden admin urging Dems to reject progressive push to block arms transfers to Israel With legislation almost certain to fail given bipartisan backing for Israel, White House's decision to weigh in shows desire for party to maintain pro-Israel stance after election

Biden choosing to end his term still breaking the law for a genocidal maniac who hates him.

translation: you can’t profit off it so you’re mad. you also hate free speech, like more and more liberals these days. (no clue who you even are or if you’re really a liberal, they’re pretty indistinguishable from conservatives on economic matters so who cares)

mm and i think it's darker even than that sometimes- i think labeling all their "enemies"/minority groups as pedos functions as a red herring closer to home. if they can make trans people the "groomers", it diverts attention from they themselves. SO much CSA is done by religious rightwingers.

A beautiful sight. Rather appropriate these days.

Melissa Gira Grant @melissagiragrant.com if your response to coverage of even small acts of resistance from a community Trump is targeting-despite Trump voters in that community—is to tell them "why try," "you knew this is what would happen," "enjoy detention," "you asked for it".

deleted this because some of the responses I got that were like this were deleted with apologies (bluesky???), but leaving a screenshot because the sentiment remains evergreen:

i showed up for the first time on sunday and everyone was so lovely. will be back ❤️

do you think it will go the route of enshittification within the next few years, or are there foundational things about it that will prevent that?

In The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, after hearing about a massive & deadly scapegoating, the narrator asks why the peasants didn't attack the landlords, their true enemies, & is told, "When your real enemies are too strong, you get weaker enemies," & every day I think about this & also see it

There is no amount of increasing border enforcement or deporting people that will ever make the American right wing believe the border is being properly handled by a democratic president. Any compromise on this is just a signal that they can demand more & keep the issue live. Immoral, bad politics.

"Do we genocide 0 people or do we genocide 100,000? The pragmatic approach is to genocide 50,000, you inflexible, insufferable leftist"
