(Because the Tea Party was total a total astro-turf "movement")

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

Two things can be true: I can know that that "Star Trek is for Republican men" article is bait, and I can also know that the author of it should be thrown into a volcano.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

I had an annoying dream this morning (part 2)
Then before I woke the monitor began showing a flash video mocking me with random words in English and Russian. As I was bemoaning my situation my rational brain snapped in and I just went "God fucking dammit" and woke up as I realized it was a dream.

I had an annoying dream this morning (part 1)
I was back in "College days" and my computer was having an issue where every time it booted it was in a distorted ratio and color but also... a different OS of Windows. and every time I rebooted it would jump back and forth.

If you take the MAGA troll farms and fake accounts all you are left with is a handful of really disturbed washed up losers. The 2024 election was stolen and there were plenty of chances to challenge it. Hopefully the last year has served as a lesson in who to actually trust.

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.
