But we're so desensitized that people generally assume we're being alarmists.

If you aren't aware of the #ADOS movement, please see this article penned by the illustrious Talib Kweli.
The hashtag is a digital false-flag movement meant to sow discord and divide the black vote. It's supported by white nationalists, who are never going to support reparations.
Don't be fooled.

That would require a spine. Or, at the very least, an acknowledgement that "the high road" only allows Republicans to dictate the terms of engagement.
Dear Dem lawmakers…
WE DID NOT ELECT YOU TO HELP THEM.
WE ELECTED YOU TO OBSTRUCT THEM.
It’s not rocket science.
Get it through your thick skulls.
You have ONE PURPOSE.
To obstruct.
Period.

Screenshot this for the archives. Disgraceful.
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

I've thought a lot lately about how an amusing thought I had circa 2009-11 has unfortunately not aged well.
While looking at political humor on the old Cheezburger meme site, I thought to myself:
"If you're a conservative on the internet, you're going to have a bad time."
Those were better days.

With #Christmas just five days away now, this is a great time to share my personal favorite holiday song: "The Atheist Christmas Carol" by @viennateng.bsky.social
I've been listening to this song for over a decade now. It never fails to make me FEEL THINGS.
If course, that's just what she does.
