One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

We're at the "secret police disappearing elected officials representing the opposition" stage of fascist gallop, fyi

This "article" is from Bari Weiss' The Free Press, which Paramount Skydance is acquiring. This is what's in store for the great CBS News of Walter Cronkite, Charles Kuralt and Dan Rather.🖕🏽

I’m no Newsom fanboy, but figuring out how to change the incentives of institutions considering capitulation is one of the big tasks of our moment.

They knew Harris was telling the truth about how this would all play out. They just didnt think it would ALSO happen to white people.

This is really important.

this is an all-time post, my god

So we paying for to the tarrifs and farmers now? Stop paying taxes yall.

All noise counts. And I don't want to hear "It won't work," "It's too late," "Why are you surprised," "It's not enough" today. Take that useless bleating somewhere else if that's all you've got. Call Disney. Call ABC. Call your Congressman. MAKE NOISE.

People arent just mad that Charles Entertainment Kirk is getting dragged, they're also mad that for the first time in their lives, they're seeing that the people who either didn't know about their bigotry or never addressed it think that they're racist, and they dont know how to process this.

Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

It is so fucking easy to talk about the struggles of men without repeating right-wing myths and shitting on your own electoral base — and yet!

Another thing we’re right about

DHS moves to bar aid groups from serving undocumented immigrants Disaster aid groups said the new contracts would make it harder for nonprofits to help the most vulnerable Americans in the aftermath of a disaster.

In NC after Helene a guy from a work crew who spoke no English showed me his Guatemalan Red Cross card.

“Que necesita usted?” I asked. “Agua, comida? Tenemos sacas para dormir, hace mucho frío por la noche.”

No. He wanted to volunteer for the Red Cross here in his free time.

This policy is a sin.

Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what?

I’m running for California State Assembly!

Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.

Putin told him to do this. That’s a very important piece of the story. Im not kidding. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate.
And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

Gavin Newsom is such a fucking loser. Wild how these dirtbags act like remembering someone's pronouns requires a Mensa card when there are about 10 million different last names in the world and they learn those no problem. Just admit you don't care.

Look how stupid she thinks I am (she is perfect 🥰)

Confederates were never held accountable so their descendants have been demonizing Black people to justify their ancestors actions ever since. You have to hold people accountable in the moment

Their Water Taps Ran Dry When Meta Built Next Door

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop.

"A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers [will] require millions of gallons of water a day"

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

I won’t explain it but this is a direct and extremely harmful consequence of ‘I’m not into politics’
