If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

getting to kill klansmen as they tried to destroy the future of your family and community?! this is as good an idea as a AAA game studio has ever had.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

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.

It's another stellar example of how Mike Johnson is a soulless ghoul who wouldn't know decency or humanity if they slapped him back to back.

Do you think the Dems unending support of ICE for twenty years didn't help them become this exact organization today? Support of ICE is bipartisan and it always has been. This is not the own you think it is. It just proves you only pay attention to what happens when a Dem isn't in office

the last four months of the Harris campaign was an attempt to get more central and court right wing voters. How well did it work?

The "stop calling them weird" advisors are the exact same people you'll have in charge of the next campaign with this kind of thinking.

Another huge L on the way.

if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Tweet from 11/2/24 showing Harry Sisson and his 4 friends in a car that reads “we’re Gen Z voters and we all PROUDLY voted for Kamala Harris! Real men support Harris”

Robert J O’Neill quotes it with

“You're not men. You're boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.”
