If you don’t want to live in a police state, SHOW UP for No Kings 2 on 10/18. And get ready for The American Spring.

For one, possibly the most tone deaf statement I’ve ever heard in my life. Two, he will never ever understand class. If you’re bragging about it it instantly cheapens it no matter how amazing it is. How freaking embarrassing.

When people say “I want my kids to have things I never had the opportunity to have,” I did not realize they meant measles.

Yet another of many many examples of those who obsessively and ostentatiously crusade are struggling with some personal internal problems. I’m looking at you Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton and your bizarre obsession with gay and trans people.

Robert May has taken the GOP’s ‘family values’ initiative in a very dark direction.

I just called my Senator to request censure. If everyone who reads any of these posts just makes one call to their Senator to request censure for this psychotic behavior maybe it will make an impact.

I am just not at the point when I can trust something that’s completely AI generated. These images are creepy and the voice is weird.

I needed this laugh. It’s beyond embarrassing that he would address this, the guy has zero dignity. But funny nonetheless.

It turns out authoritarianism isn’t great for having babies. Someone please tell JD Vance none of his ridiculous policies are going to work.

Russia Is in Demographic Free Fall. Putin Isn’t Helping. — The Atlantic

The Russian president is enacting one of the world’s most extreme natalism programs—and one of the weirdest.

Don’t be a jerk. Everyone’s nostalgic about their childhood and teenage cultural icons. You too will be cringe someday I’m sure. Just wait till you’re 50.

Do you even know anyone who is Gen X? That’s a pretty sweeping statement. Gen X here. I was eight when Reagan was president. Give me a break. Plenty of liberal Gen Xers out there.

I was not pleased when I saw that statistic. I’m on the younger end of Gen X, but the ethos of never selling out to the corporate suits has always stayed with me. I despise sellouts to this day. I can’t believe so many of my generation sold out. To a fucking criminal.

Star Wars Intro Scroll

Episode IV
It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

Let’s stop throwing entire groups under the bus. Straight white person here who has never voted anything but Democrat and tries to talk sense into as many conservatives as possible.

Is it even possible to find worse people than he has now? Perhaps I’m not being creative enough when I think how much worse could it get? The current people already willing to throw the constitution, truth and morality out the window.
