Transness, as it exists, is embedded in some pretty fundamental layers of material reality... How can I describe it; @foldablehuman.bsky.social put it best; you can convince someone of flat earth, but then you have to convince them that lagrange points don't exist, or like, the satellites that make

This is why I love the people dressing up in frog and unicorn costumes. One, it's a very funny way to protest. Two, it mocks the fascists which they HATE and is very effective protest. And finally gives us some very handy visual aids to mark what's real and what isn't.

There is no left-wing violence in Chicago or Portland. It simply is not happening.

It's so not happening, in fact, that Republicans in Oregon took footage from two South American countries to create a hoax photo about Portland.

They have no actual violent footage to put forward.

Guy who was almost literally assassinated by his own president: I just really love life

The Wall Street Journal: Outstanding tell us more

Mike Pence: Well for starters the main thing I don't like about RFK Jr is he hasn't banned generic mifepristone yet
A Wall St Journal opened from like 3 hours ago from Mike Pence titled Make HHS and FDS Pro-Life Again, with a lede reading approval of generic mifepristone is why I warned against RFK Jr's appointment

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Think politics is all about passion? This analysis argues it's physics: Force, Leverage, Friction. Leftist purity is the friction that stops progress. https://americanmanifesto.news/fighting-fascism-the-unforgiving-physics-of-political-power

Nonsense, they spend so much time playing candy crush that every cop knows the palpable feeling of candy that it engenders.

Now if he said "engender"...

The essence of Bari Weiss: not reporting, but crude partisan propaganda presented in the form of reporting—and usually pronounced from the mouths of anonymous sources which likely don't exist. Expect this sort of prolefeed at CBS News soon.

They took an entire apartment building’s worth of people a week ago and they haven’t stopped taking people; they even shooting people and running them over, so I have no idea wtf this means.

I watched someone *win a case* and lose her license, even *after proving what the bar accused her of doing was a false accusation*, over documentation irregularities that a) I know most attorneys have, and b) she was able to prove nothing irregular actually happened.

Because the only people the bar is actually designed to go after are people who have tattoos, and don't give off the correct vibe of being an attorney.

Bars exist specifically because lawyers prefer a social club to actual regulation, and the people deciding this are congress and judges. Lawyers.

Like for example how was everyone who moved to prosecute these women not disbarred? Why were the federal judges not removed?

Everyone knows the purpose of the civil rights era anti-discrimination law.

I know why it didn’t happen but I’m saying it’s bullshit.

www.reuters.com/world/us/ven...
Sept 11 (Reuters) - An Atlanta-based venture capital fund on Wednesday agreed to stop operating a program that awarded grants to small businesses run by Black women to settle a lawsuit by an anti-affirmative action group that claimed it discriminated based on race.
Fearless Fund agreed to settle C the case after a federal appeals court in June agreed with the nonprofit American Alliance for Equal Rights that the program likely violated a Civil War-era law barring racial discrimination in contracting.

i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"
