John Brown Was Right 🏳️‍⚧️🏴

I am going to spend the rest of my life incredibly pissed off that *I* am going to get murdered by the US Government just because the average American is too goddamn naive to do anything about it until it's far, far too late.

if you're STILL complaining about the left:

1 - the actual left has no institutional support or power
2 - many leftists working on actionable things are occupied trying to keep people the center abandoned alive
3 - are you maybe confusing "all leftists" with a poster who annoyed you one time?

regardless of how centrist & moderate you try to position your politics, conservatives will still call you a Marxist, communist, anarchist, or socialist.

you might as well embrace leftism. Republicans are going to treat you the same way regardless.

Quick question, do you know how pathetically laughable you are and you just pretend that you aren't to keep up appearances, or do you actually have all the self-awareness of a particularly oblivious slime mold?

for the price of three months of advice from one dem consultant who absolutely sucks shit, the dnc could hire the onion's politically angriest writer for a year and crank out daily ny post-style headlines about this but oh well

"Nazis getting graphically, violently killed" is such a wonderful subgenre of film...

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are all controlled by people who are sucking up to Trump. It’s pretty hard to overstate just how atrociously warped the social media ecosystem has become.

Everything in politics is intentional. There are no accidents.

No one "accidentally" gives a Nazi salute.

No one "accidentally" votes for the Laken Riley Act.

No one "accidentally" gives up control of the NLRB early.

No one "accidentally" supports a genocide.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

If you're discriminated against or arrested for being trans in Illinois, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

i don’t want to keep calm and carry on i want to shoot lasers out of my eyes

I really really *really* wish we lived in a world where politicians were legitimately afraid of the consequences of being horrible people. Oh, you're going to gut funding for aid to disaster victims? You're going to refuse to support legislation legalizing abortion? Okay buddy........

Haha it's funny because Trump and Musk are gay for each other and as everyone making this joke clearly knows being gay is icky and gross or wait maybe it's funny because it means Trump is a woman and as everyone knows being a woman (especially an AMAB woman) is icky and gross.

Fucking tiresome 🙄

Would you say that noticing this was, oh, a sudden flash of insight?

Western media when countries they dislike persecute trans people: “Look! This is proof they’re authoritarians and we’re better!”

Western media when their own countries do the same thing: “They just have reasonable concerns. You can’t say anything anymore!”

A well plated serving of chicken tenders with captions reading reskeet if you love chicken tenders or being dominated by women

the way terfism is reduced to “misandry” (which isn’t even true) is extremely disheartening. the very specific way these people hate trans women and wield misogyny (against all kinds of women) gets completely overlooked.

the fact that the conception of a terf is a man hating lesbian is insulting

The fact that Jesse Singal can terrorize entire groups of people and get away with it while Bill Kezos gets banned instantly for hurting Jesse's little feelings speaks poorly of the state of not just this website, but many of our societal frameworks

if you're cis:

if you think you know how your trans friends are doing, you don't.
if you think you have a finger on the pulse, you don't.

i've been out for 12 fucking years, transphobia has never been this direct, explicit, and targeted, with the intention that we (redacted). check in

he's a 78 year old incoming president via historically narrow margins promising fascism while ineligible for another term with a single vote to spare in the house, any democrat who looks at that situation and with a straight face says "we have to work with them" deserves to be ejected from the party

I loved DS9 for the willingness to take on gritty subjects...but I think sometimes we're taking it too far. I don't actually want more cynical shadowy Section 31 (as much as I love Michelle Yeoh). We need this hope so desperately. We need more showing how flawed people can still become their best.

Let me explain very clearly why we all need more Lower Decks.

Star Trek has at it's core not an idea of utopia, but an idea of being our best self.

And one of the key aspects of Lower Decks isn't perfect people living in a utopia, but flawed people trying to help each other be their best self.
