in case you didn't understand why transphobic rhetoric worried us so much about this guy, well it's because it's a signal that shit like this is coming next.

the funny thing about these lectures, which i would love to give this person a bullhorn to yell in minneapolis right now, is that a harris administration would have kept increasing funding for ICE despite the certainty a right wing president was eventually going to inherit it. we tied our own noose

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

these people keep pushing the 'I am such a bad ass I am so cool and brave' while also pushing the 'I am scared little gwuy'

the thing about nazis is that they are all such fucking losers.

Here's an angle for ALL journalists: Never write the fake-word "antifa" again. Every reference to it in a legit news story should spell the phrase out fully: "anti-fascist." I'm pretty sure Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" would've advised the same. And it's a LOT clearer to your readers.

I don't seriouspost that much anymore, mostly because I'm tired and more cynical about the efficacy of the effort, but I'll give it a try for old time's sake.

It has been de rigueur for many professional posters to insist on participating in American democratic processes as a remedy for discontent.

If we cannot all be on the same page that the sitting president threatening to invade a US city is fascist dictator shit then truly I do not know what to do.

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

confused about where contrapoints assigns agency, in her post. democrats supported a genocide - but it is the left's opposition to that genocide that helped reelect trump? the left distributing pictures and videos of atrocities in gaza has people in a rage - but what about the atrocities themselves?

Contrapoints recently made a statement on Palestine, and I find this point the most interesting. That was really the only outcome of the outrage over Palestine over the last few years, nothing plus slightly hurting Kamala’s chances?

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict
