“Fighting against fascism” but is a fascist. Some creatures are so dense.

Even now I see “why should voters concern themselves with what happens over there, they’re fighting an ancient blah blah” and like man, you should have learned this 20 years ago. Just cuz Obama gooned to merc’ing hospitals does not mean foreign policy is no longer primary.

It frustrates me when liberals my age minimize or trivialize foreign policy concerns, or treat them as a distinct set of issues that are separate and matter less than domestic ones. Our political awakening was during the GWOT! Iraq and the PATRIOT Act were some of our inciting moments.

I want to work at a cat cafe, not as a barista but as a cat.

"Progressive" media organisations should not, in any circumstances boost virulently antisemitic fascists.

This is disgusting.

It's really clear to me that pretty much everyone professionally involved in politics regards the right and far right as fundamentally legitimate and authoratative in a way the left and even centre aren't.

Not even necessarily as an endorsement but "look the Proper People are saying a good thing!"

Honestly? We deserve everything that is surely coming for us.

me: *not doing crimes*

my government: *doing a ton of crimes*

me: (simple hand gesture) should i possibly be doing at least a small number of crimes?? ?

I'm not saying don't use a VPN if you understand your use case or enjoy some of the side benefits. Go for it. I'm just kind of annoyed by the way they are marketed right now as some kind of magic bullet that hides everything you do and protects you from the bad guys.

there have been and always will be horrors that persist but these current ones are by far the worst bc they’re happening to me

Because the judicial & political system in the USA is simply based on money and is not fit for purpose.

Watching Invitation to Hell, a 1980’s Wes Craven TV film. It’s bad, but entertaining. Great story. And Susan Lucci is rocking a fro:

Such a great example of the "both-sides"-ism that has infected the BBC at apparently every level.

"This man was horrendously abused just for being a Muslim. On the other hand, maybe they're all asking for it?"

Again, it’s always interesting that the most vocal proponents of the BBC are the ones who are least likely to ever be targeted by them…

As an autistic person, this post describes society at large.

Always the same with these "be kind" types, they detail elaborate rules about how you have to address them and people they like which they then completely ignore when it comes to people outside their ingroup.

I enjoy the thought of Trump being in excruciating pain. I hope it's unbearable and then it gets worse.

But oh that ear looks healthy, right?
The rash? Evil coming out through his pores.

I hope he’s in agony.

follow me if you're a centrist liberal who likes to get mad, I'm the best thing that ever happened to you

White moderates view the Democratic Party as their country club for cream of the crop white people, introspection ain’t compatible with that

Rather than blaming non-voters for what Trump is doing, liberals should be attacking "Vote Blue No Matter Who" Dems that have spent decades voting for politicians that support funding the police, ICE, and the military industrial complex. Trump wouldn't be able to do any of this without them.

If you think just one man is doing this, I have a bridge to sell you.

Of course they are Yes men. It's what they train to be, top to bottom. When have the generals ever saved a country FOR its people?

A need unmet doesn’t disappear.

It converts into irritability - shutdown - resentment - rumination - meltdowns - burnout.

If we don’t honour our needs, they will express themselves anyway.
