Spreadsheets are my love language and I think white supremacy is stupid. West coast girl living in New England. Recovering teacher. My dog is the best dog. I’ll end up in a Trump camp at some point. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Opinions are mine, and *sometimes* they’re satire.

I spent several years teaching in a locked-down juvenile detention facility and one thing I am good at is eviscerating the incel/tough-guy types.

Lesson #1 in handling an incel: DOMINATE HIM, but stay calm while doing it.

He says “your body my choice”? You post:

It’s shameful that America built its economy on the backs of low wage undocumented workers and then had the nerve to demonize them?
Use them for fascist video content?
America should be thanking these folks for decades of backbreaking work.
While never cashing in on the benefits that citizens enjoy.

the list of things that needs to be done to repair this country is extensive but high up on it is breaking the power of the tech lords

they are convinced they are untouchable feudal barons whose money allows them to dictate everyone else's life and they must be disabused of that notion

With the false narrative surrounding NO KINGS, be mindful of possible MAGA violence.

Have a plan to deal with it. Have people willing to defend others via any appropriate and legal means.

DO NOT take the incitement of stochastic terrorism from the GOP un-seriously.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

If I see ONE more headline with the words “Trump says” I’m going to freak the fuck out.

DO NOT TELL US WHAT HE SAYS. WE CAN SEE HIS TWEETS. TELL US WHAT IS HAPPENING AND SAY WHICH LAWS HE’S BREAKING.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Ask yourself this: who exactly is “briefing” and “reporting” on ANTIFA? Why are far right YouTubers and content creators briefing our country’s senior leaders and mainstream news media? ⬇️

People in airport security lines are already GRUMPY. This is stochastic-adjacent if you ask me.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

i just got back from Antifa headquarters.

they're making an INSANE new set of demands.

first, the radical left is saying, "no money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law."

interesting that if you say the constitution creates a separation of powers systems in which there are no kings, they think you hate america

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.
