I need "dehumanizing people, even evil ones" to remain off-limits.

Tired as fuck of not living in polite society.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

So weird how MSM totally ditched this story.

Two Hispanic teens allegedly murdered by Charlie Kirk fan after stalking and online obsession? Here's what we know

The victims, 17-year-old Cranford High School students Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, were riding an e-bike together around 5:30 PM when a black 2021 Jeep with tinted windows struck them. Both girls...

Republicans talk a big game about toning down political violence. But last week I called for a vote on my bill that would have given all Americans, including judges and other elected officials like this necessary privacy protections to stay safe. Republicans blocked it.

Wow, so shocked that so many "comedians" who made their name shitting on vulnerable people and populations and giggling out slurs on podcasts would take House of Saud money that forbids them from joking about the House of Saud all while braying about the sacredness of Free Speech

Honestly my conclusion about the major accounts On Here hating it is messaging is that most of them are not dependent on the subsidies or even the ACA exchange in any direct way and thus most of them don't give a flying fuck about those of us who are.

Nute @nutedawn.bsky.social · 4d

Very hard not to conclude that the Dem messaging strategy of focusing on healthcare has been highly successful at shaping public impressions of the shutdown fight so far despite being hated on here to the point that major accounts were actively adopting GOP framing to attack it

I’m personally done ceding our national symbology to those that get off on perverting it for their political ends. If you want to convince people you’re trying to improve the country, you have to prove that you sincerely like the country, which many an extremist proudly dos not.

This story is the intersection of gaming and incel culture and cop-adjacent impunity and conservative politics. A lot of those things have significant overlap already, but this is a kid where a bunch of vectors of radicalization overlapped and he murdered a couple of girls remorselessly.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.
