RESIST. Facts matter. Truth matters. Reality matters. Honesty matters. Integrity matters. Justice matters. Humanity matters. Act and vote accordingly. 🔵 in a red state. Husband. Dad. Ally to the marginalized. But mostly... Pretty darned nerdy.

Mon Mothma said what needed to be said in opposition to an evil, authoritarian regime.

Fictional Star Wars character Senator Mon Mothma addresses the Imperial Senate from her pod. Text reads:

"The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."

I trust MTG as much as a trust a bag of wet cats.

But man, if she's the one who breaks this dam of insanity, wouldn't that be something?

It won't age well, certainly. But Republicans are perfectly happy to follow a pedo cult leader in the here and now. Which sucks.

Republicans have no morals, no decency, and no dignity.

What passes for a conscience is a devil on one shoulder and a big bag of money on the other.

Somehow, I don't think it's to provide extra security for Zephram Cochrane's warp ship.

Dear Mike:

This rally is for folks who love this Republic.

It's your fucking guts we hate.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

They aren't even hiding their fascism any more.

That's the most brilliant suggestion!

I remember when CNN entered the scene as an honest, earnest outlet for real news.

Fuck you CNN for rotting to pieces.

Right wingers are literally too fucking stupid to understand reality, and how it works.

This should be a thesis.

dub273 @dub273.bsky.social · 1d

It's here, though.

It's all over but the shooting.

And the shooting has begun.

No amount of restraint or calls for civility on social media is going to change this.

I would love to be wrong.

All the clubs have been closed down.

Too much fighting on the dance floor.
