Go back to school, they said.
Get your degree in Social Sciences so you have a clearer picture of history and geography and how the world works, they said.
Clearly this increased understanding and context will not drive you insane, they said.

"My rep is a Republican, so what's the point of contacting them!" Here's my perspective on this. Thing about how miserable they are making you. OK? Give them some misery back. Yeah, they're probably going to vote the wrong way, but at least you can really annoy them about it. Plus...

If a trans person were caught jaywalking Republicans would be ranting about it every chance they got, meanwhile a trans person JUMPED INTO LAKE MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER AND RESCUED A STRANGER’S BABY and it’s crickets.

the entire pitch of Cuomo was that sure he's a loathsome sex pest but he has what it takes to stand up to Trump, and then the hot leftist starts every phone call with "what's up big dog" and gets Trump to do whatever he wants.

just something to think about when people push the little toad Newsom. the little toads aren't able to stand up to the right because they agree with them. what you need is a Hot Leftist

doodlemancy @doodlemancy on cohost (rip): "the script at this point is just company: we're going to do something really extremely bad for our customers and possibly even people who aren't our customers. we think this is good 

an enormous, furious internet mob: we hate this

company: we'd like to clarify our intentions. just to be
clear: we're doing the same thing but we'd like you to
hate it a little less now"

Five members of the US Men’s Gold Medal Hockey team have refused Trump’s White House invitation.

Four of them are from Minnesota.

This is how you resist.

You don’t participate in misogynistic locker room talk.

You don’t disparage other members of your sport.

You don’t visit fascists.

The State of America is: the President and Secretary of Homeland Security are building concentration camps, Democrats are fighting back but also kinda saying they’ll pay for the camps if they have good security cameras and are LEED certified, and the normiest local communities are saying fuck no.

I Went to Two Sex-Themed Parties: One Conservative, One Thrown by Pornhub. The Differences Were Staggeringβ€”and Encouraging. Culture wars are a lot more fun when they're fought with open bars.

Conservatives long for some real or imagined past, which means they can only look behind them, which is why they'll never take over culture the way they want to. It's also why their parties aren't as fun

Does anyone have a hook up with an Emerald City Comic Con Saturday pass? Long shot for sure but I've had friends who had extra in the past or circumstances allowed me to snag one. I thought I would at least ask. If you don't know me as Mae, please DM. Full disclosure this is for my partner, not me

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

California Governor Gavin Newsom sits down with CNN's Dana Bash to talk about the future of the Democratic Party. He says the party should be "less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity politics. More focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter - the stacking of stress in terms of the electricity bills and childcare costs and health care and obviously housing costs."

I’m sorry please correct me if I’m insane and wrong…

but is this newsom saying he β€œfell prey” to not being β€œculturally normal” because he was supportive of same sex marriage?

Bookmarking this so the next time some cultist tells me this asshole is our only hope in 2028 I can reply with this clip of Newsom calling gay marriage "abnormal" and "not a tabletop issue"

Gay people have tables too, Gavin

A rectangular graphic with an orange background. On the far right, a lady in green drawn by Martin Lehmann-Steglitz (1912) is walking, looking toward the camera, wearing a green dress and a big, green hat. Her speech bubble says "Don't skip the midterms!" Text below that says "VOTE like our lives depend on it."
