Depeche Mood

real

people who say "ugh I hate politics" are speaking from a place of privilege a hundred years in the making. They've never had to pay attention because despite their inaction the country has slowly and steadily progressed (trend over time)

Denial, yes, but also inertia I think

A narrative which, I hope we're all aware, was pushed *heavily* by troll farms, bad actors, and shady influencers. And it worked

Both Sides Suck language isn't going to change the party because whatever your personal intent is, the words hook into longstanding and ongoing demotivational propaganda

"Ignoring isn't an option for us anymore" implies it *was* an option for a long time, because even apathetic Both Sides types enjoyed the benefits of a functional society (well the white ones anyway)

Using the same words, even if the intent is different, keeps the Why Bother narrative alive

well hey that sounded patronizing, as though my poor mind were too small to contain both

I'm just a silly goose socialist who watched Bothsidesism-fueled apathy tank both Harris and Clinton, thus destroying the courts and rolling back decades of progress

demotivational words do nothing good

fr "underage woman" means "can't get into the nightclub/buy a vape because shes 20" etc. and that's it, that's the only appropriate use of the term

also weird you never hear the term "underage man"

and very very likely murderer as well

It's funny, because Chuck is objectively a much less horrible person than Trump. But Trump is delivering on the horror that his base craves, while Schumer delivers nothing

seriously though

I get that people are frustrated but fucks sake it's astounding that the last year hasn't convinced some people that there is, in fact, a difference between parties

I tend to think they're the same people who don't bother voting in primaries, if they even vote at all

it kinda kills me how little attention the Missing Children part gets in the media anymore

that guy is fucked up fr

praying for another stroke

would not be sad to see him bleeding out his eyes at this point

Onion needs to stop writing plausible headlines

tbh that was me in like 2000s, felt like a Coming Of Age movie moment walking to the 14th St. subway in the rain listening to NYC by Interpol on my iPod

between music and MySpace my 30s were a way better 20s

That tracks, fuck knows how much acid I did that year (my 20s are hazy, fuck knows if I did half the things ppl tell me I did)

THIS THIS THIS ALL THIS

especially the livestreams

Great advice for filming ICE. Also for filming anything.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

a group of people are holding glow sticks in their hands and one of them is wearing a shirt that says i love you Alt: Me stanning My Star

I started watching Oshi no Ko (My Star) on Crunchyroll, enjoyed it but it was really confusing, like the description about a dead guy reincarnated as the child of a young Idol... literally what...
...oh, this is S3? Where's the first two seasons? Not on CR

Found elsewhere and binged. Great show

the BBB, funding ICE and slashing everything worth keeping. We all did it again in October while Schumer & Friends were caving in and letting healthcare subsidies end. He's gonna do it again with ICE funding

What's the Chenoweth take on Seoul's victorious flash mob anyway

Absolutely, march across the country in solidarity. Support the people who go shout truth to power. People from NYC and Philly are good at making themselves heard. Even historic Boston can show up if they take the express

Last July I was, like most of us, at a local rally while Congress passed

can get to Seoul within a few hours. We can't do that we're too spread out

except no, we can totally do that

LA and Chicago can't be there, but the VERY blue NE Corridor can. A few hours by train, population on par with the ROK, ample parking plus a subway at the airports for people closer

I'll amend - without ALSO a big rally in DC, useless

The protests against martial law in the ROK were widespread - Busan and Daegu had bigguns - but without the tsunami of people flooding Seoul Yoon might still be in power.

Oh well, you say, S. Korea is a tiny country with fast trains, anyone

and the reason the white nationalist xtians have such a chokehold on the country is they DO play the long game. decades of patience, voting in every election at every level. Got the power to gerrymander and here we are

Oh, brilliant plan! What’s the fucking point when ICE/CBP have a standalone slush fund they can draw from at any time!?!?! Seriously, maybe Rosa has been in Congress far too long.

Flood the Capitol

sure the country is huge and most of us can't go, but there's tens of millions close enough by car or bus or train they can be there in four hours or less

get in their faces. tell them they're not going to betray us again

Elysium is a future documentary

plus a 5% "service fee" every week

ICE was already PREFUNDED for 4 YEARS in the OBBB passed in July. The money is in a slush fund. So if you give away the rest you give away everything. Do these people think we are stupid? They must.

NO
NO
NO

NO

and no point if it's not held at the nation's capital
