With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

"Go where you may, search where you will ... search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the every day practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival"

If there's one thing the US knows how to do, it's pour a horrifying amount of money and resources into a war, and then lose.

Vietnam.
Drugs.
Now immigration.

Get ready to lose again, assholes.

Come what may, I will bet on us, every time, because there is no other bet worth placing. I am all in, fam. I will never stop looking for openings and aiming at them. I will never stop reaching for people and saying, “Take my hand. We can do this.” Because we are worth it.

I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

A very popular New York Times columnist gets mad when you say this but it needs to be said loudly and repeatedly: cancel your subscription, ignore the Wordle, don’t give them a goddamn penny.

This is heartbreaking. They are strip mining what’s left of nature.

a really important point, trans are MY PEOPLE, I don't agree with all trans people or their jobs or whatever but they are MY PEOPLE.
if you have to rip strips off people facing difficulties, you need to look more at yourself and less at them, we got one boat and it's fucking sinking.

Hello from the Hallowoods is always a banger but this week’s episode was ESPECIALLY JUICY

If you've ever wondered about Friends at the Table, now is a great time to give it a listen. We're just fully kicking off a totally new season with no previous listening required!

placard reads as: “As a registered Democrat, I support: Veterans and the VA; Senior Citizens, Social Security, and Medicare; Special Needs Kids, Seniors in Nursing Homes and Medicaid; Sustainability, the Environment and Tess; The removal of Elon Musk from the White House; The replacement of Elon Musk as CEO of Tesla.”

having to put a “don’t worry, i’m a dumbass” placard on the worst car of all time in order to drive it is insane

That’s so great! I also am doing wonderful and so is everyone I know! We’re all just like this good little clown!

@jun3buggy posting on twitter: this is what its like following trans women on twitter two panels of Calvin and Hobbes. Panel 1: Calvin is playing with a truck saying 'when I grow up, I want to be a radical terrorist'. And his Mom off-panel saying 'Mmhmm...' Panel 2: Calvin's Mom sitting at the breakfast table sipping coffee, off-panel Calvin is now saying 'I'm going to inhale this can of pesticide.' She's still just saying 'Mmhmm...'

this is still unbeaten

It’s telling that it’s *always* about making someone else do the hard labor, and never volunteering for it yourself.
