Intro post? Okay.

I'm Rob! I've been on a Transformers podcast for 15 years and have been YouTubing for 11 or 12 I think. I mostly cover Gundam games these days, especially #GBO2, and love robot toys and models as well as action figures in general. I'm cranky when people get hurt for fun & profit.

The number one question for every primary candidate this year should be "Do you support the removal of every fascist and pedophile from every branch of the US government" and any answer other than "Yes, immediately" should get you chased with a rolled-up newspaper.

The day after the Mad King kidnapped another country's leader, exactly as many Democrats as were necessary to grant one of his judges a lifetime appointment filled in for their absent Republican colleagues, as led by the party's coordinator of votes.

I see no reason left to extend them any grace.

I have reached a point of "Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action" with Democrats after discovering that they're still seeking and obtaining money from Thiel and Musk's companies.

This. This is what I'm talking about. Politicians and pundits who can't bring themselves to say "Abolish ICE" do not realize that THIS is what thousands of everyday normal, decent people are doing. bsky.app/profile/vsch...
A friend who doesn't know who her Congressperson is, is now walking children home from school to the apartment that their mother doesn't dare leave.
I’ve never seen mostly apolitical nice aunties get so radicalized so fast in my life.

Not that these are Trump voters. They aren’t. But they went from soft disapprovers to people who would crawl over broken glass to get rid of all these people.

I'm not saying it's going to be easy to reclassify conservatism as effectively a hate group.

It might not even be possible within the system we currently have.

But that HAS to be the agreed-upon mission. We need to be on the same page with this. There is nothing of value there, it is only poison.

Got a pretty good round with the Victory Gundam in space today. While it loses access to its most interesting skill when it's in a zero-G environment, it's still plenty capable. #GBO2

It is impossible to properly calculate the depth and breadth of the courage and sacrifice of those prepared to confront white supremacy and assert their right to full citizenship.

We - and by that I mean ALL Americans - owe them a great debt. Rest in Peace & Power Claudette Colvin.
"I knew then and I know now, when it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it. You can't sugarcoat it. You have to take a stand and say, 'This is not right.' And I did."

Rest in power, Ms. Claudette Colvin.

The fight for equality continues.

Just had a random memory and recalled that one of the things that radicalized me was learning that the feds can and will steal your property if it's even tangentially related to any drug charges whatsoever... and then a big wheel at the DEA's son was dealing drugs out of her house and she kept it

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

For years we've been told better things can't happen because it might offend the people who are currently eagerly trying to kill us all.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.

Next week is what will break you.
We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

James Fishback isn't an activist trying to make corporations pay more. He's specifically targeting OnlyFans workers to pay more taxes while not proposing any extra taxes for the CEO or company.

It's an incel tax. From a guy who started a debate club for high school students and dated one of them

Easy to see why various protest movements identified with Ashita no Joe. Joe is told at every turn that his natural talent isn't enough, is offered patronage by various rich people to close that gap, and then says "fuck that" and succeeds anyway though hard work and force of will.

RIP to Scott Adams, who successfully cosplayed as a hero to downtrodden upper middle-class office workers until he was revealed as a Dunning-Kruger poster boy.

I actually do think that police simply refusing to go into dangerous situations will result in safer communities, yes. The available evidence is that police presence makes a situation more dangerous, not less.

And Uvalde showed us that they often refuse to go in anyway.
In that new legal framework, won't the police simply refuse to go into a dangerous situation? Do you think that will result in safer communities? Getting rid of qualified immunity seems fine but I think you underestimate the consequences of police no longer willing to pursue dangerous criminals.

"He needs to delete that post."

Lieu has always been feckless, but good gravy, my dude. This is about as pathetic as it comes.

What he needs is to be tried at the fucking Hague.
Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

As I tell people who say the Dems can't just obstruct everything as a minority party: the GOP did that for over a decade, and currently rule the world.

But that'd require not finding *exactly* enough Dems to compensate for absent Republicans to confirm the Mad King's judges the day after Venezuela.
That is just a start, of course.

I know Dems have limited power right now but they should use every bit of it that they do have.

And they ALWAYS have the power to flood the zone with constant, consistent, pull-no-fucking-punches messages about the GOP murderers they will REMOVE and PUNISH asap!

Vile. It’s not enough that they robbed her of a wife and robbed her child of a mother - they have to annihilate this family, because in so doing, they believe they can make themselves heroes.

It is obscene that they be allowed to continue in this conduct.
