The Nobel Peace Prize is being awarded at a time when the U.S. bombed four boats off the coast of Venezuela, killing 21 people. Colombia's President Gustavo Petro said Wednesday that the U.S. killed Colombians in one of the boats it bombed in the Caribbean for allegedly carrying drugs.

Bad Empanada has decided that if you have sexually suggestive writing or porn on your page, and he WILLINGLY clicks on and looks at your page, that that is “permanent sexually harassing” him and others. he’s a genuine one of a kind.

Nothing says Marxism like targeting queers who perform their sexuality in a way you don't like. It's a bio who cares about what they say
It's like when conservatives use
"pronouns in bio" as an argument
This is socially reactionary

I like how you can't actually defend this so you just scream "Reactionary!
Reactionary!" at it. You don't want people who fuck animals to tell you all about it 24/7? Uhhh REACTIONARY!

No... Israel is far more violent, destructive, murderous, it's also got a lot more support and arms. Diplomatic cover has allowed it to continue it's mass murder spree for years.

Israel is objectively way way worse than ISIS.

I'd like to just say that in the wake of losing Fergus this week I realize how lucky I am to have a partner who is hurting just as much as I am, supportive family, and a tidal wave of compassion from friends and internet supporters. My heart truly goes out to anyone who has faced this alone... 🧵

I don't know why everyone thinks it's new or novel that a US-subsidized petrostate vassal that we arm with our weapons and use to project our power across SWANA is building a training facility here. We're the largest weapons dealer in the world.

Did anyone else see that the IRS furloughed over half of their employees?

My amended tax return was already nine months late. At this point, I’ll never see it.

So I hope they don’t genuinely expect me to pay state taxes I would only be able to afford to pay with said return.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Fascism demands to be taken seriously and to be feared. That makes mockery a powerful tool. Is it how you "beat" fascism? I wouldn't go that far. But inflatable Reptar has surely poked a clearer hole in the story the White House is telling that the Democratic Party's multimillion dollar comms shops.
