Y'all if you do not take your wins and cling to them fiercely you are never gonna make it.
I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

"Removing bovino doesn't solve the problem"
I dunno, dude, it seems to entirely solve the problem of having bovino around. Bitch is a first town boss in a jrpg. He's not the end, but beating him allows you to progress and feel good about it.

There are months where decades happen…or something
remember when the U.S. colluded in an internal coup in Venezuela and abducted the president while killing a few dozen people in airstrikes? I think it was a couple of years ago now.

Remember when left-wing "authoritarians" were "lynching" conservatives on campus? I hope everyone who wrote articles about that is feeling great. But they might want to reflect on the way the metaphorical language of violence allows us to treat actual violence as a reaction to figurative violence.

it's so sloppy it doesn't even have the right wrong information. the CURRENT governor of mississippi is tate reeves. she's thinking of the last governor, phil bryant, who is also not carolyn bryant's nephew.

A lift of the cap and a hearty hurrah to Minnesota.
Struggles no doubt remain (and the victory is not without its bitter cost), but Greg Bovino tested the strength of Minnesotans and as he runs off with his tail between his remarkably short legs, the stronger arms have told, for all to see.

Using Signal to coordinate dropping off food, hand warmers, confirming ICE sightings, etc. - good!
Assuming Signal is a safe place for plotting felonies - bad!

“After you murder someone you should send a series of cryptic letters in some sort of unbreakable code. That’s the responsible — I would say, the fatherly — thing to do.”
Ted Cruz: "What I think the administration could do better is the tone with which they're describing this. Immediately when an incident like this happens, they come out guns blazing that 'we took out a violent terrorist. Hooray."

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Signal is more secure than most digital platforms for communication but also you should not plot crimes in Signal because Signal is only as secure as the weakest person in your groupchat when under interrogation by police and also planning crimes in writing makes your lawyer cry.

it's the Blitz all over again, and the Nazis are always surprised when being terrorized doesn't make people give up
The MAGA regime also really obviously doesn't know what to do with the fact that each time ICE murders somebody, the people they're trying to scare merely get more angry and more motivated to fight back.

In the fullness of consideration it would have been inappropriate to make their relationship canon due to the problematic power difference, so really, queerbaiting you was the most ethical course of action.

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

When I worked for a city in Texas, we had a training about people's 2nd amendment rights that featured a guy with an AR rifle openly carrying right up to a service counter.
How many years have we been watching gun nuts open carry semiautomatic rifles into, like, a Dunkin' Donuts as a statement against government control? And they're now silent over a citizen being murdered by federal agents and then blamed for legally carrying a firearm?
