I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Degrade ICE with words 24/7.
Don’t let them sleep.
Scare them with ideas about what is in store for them.
Prepare your scripts.
Repeat them often.
This is how MIND CONTROL works.
USE IT.

Well if anyone on here was giving Charlie Kirk even a scintilla of praise for backing off from Israel, stop.

Jenny Cohn @jennycohn.bsky.social · 32m

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Freida Parton says she did not mean to scare anyone when asking for prayers for her older sister, Dolly:

Freida Parton
“I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”

A friend of mine (white American) told me he took his parents to see Get Out and they didn't cringe at the "I Would Have Voted for Obama for a Third Term" line, instead they said "me too" out loud. Unironically. This lives rent free in my head because someone on here reminds me of it daily.

I think at least *some* of them are people who deep down know they are more Republican leaning than not but know enough to feel ashamed of it but not enough to reflect on that. So instead they hope to keep pulling the Dems to the right so they can still be "the good guys"
