I have long wanted an inflatable dinosaur costume but that was before I realized I could get an inflatable raccoon costume.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

Seeing too many people with some opposition power afraid of saying the f word. Not the duck word, the fascist word. Get over your fear of being earnest (“uncool” if you’re still stuck there).

People do lose their rights when they allow other people's rights to be taken away.

A resident of a nearby building asks a very important question:

“You claim you have warrants, but do you have a warrant to seize the entire building?” she asked the agents. “Do you have warrants to detain the entire building?”

Or: do people lose their rights if they live near undocumented people?

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

I think more people should be aware of how much cool stuff Link does in real life. He’s not just a poster.

“As a neurodiversity advocate and as an autistic person, I’m really grateful for so much of the work that’s been done that allows me to be myself and to be successful being myself.” Link, who has been *banned*!?!? from this platform?

If you need any help in your own personal Covid/Health advocacy for masking, safety in public, accommodations for apts, human rights complaints, letters, etc, send me a dm. Part of my quest to be a “Swiss Army knife” of advocacy is to help those who need it, in any way I can.

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

These people are perfectly happy to embrace hierarchies that benefit them and abuse whatever privileges they can. They only thought (pretended?) they hated the state because it said they had to pay their employees a minimum wage and send their kids to school with black kids.

As I've gotten older I've realized this sort of phony libertarianism developed because the federal government was perceived as helping undeserving (read: black) people. It was never based on any deeper concerns about abuses of power.

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

Can’t believe this news broke on the same day that a separate but equally qualified group of experts proved that electricity and trees are in fact also…. Real. What a day for science.
PS these are the same fools who were ripping on Violet Affleck for bringing attention to Long Covid last week.
