listen here you stupid leftoid, if you just voted blue in 2024, ICE would be ruining the lives of immigrant families quietly and efficiently in a way where we wouldn't have to hear about it on the news

in 2024 i was always hearing "it sucks, but dems have to follow the polling" on immigration, which had them backing extreme far right wing bills on the border. now that there's been a huge shift to the left in polling, the response is "how about 1/100th of what you guys want". funny how that works.

i feel for all the radical centrists out there now confronting the fact that their ideology was the one built in a bubble and formed by groupthink. with enough exposure to facts and logic they will, some day god willing, catch up to the left

I know I’m a broken record about this but it never ceases to amaze me that these Nazi and Confederate fetishists have, out of the gate, combined the most catastrophic and ruinous errors of both.

There has to be a word beyond outrage for when this loathsome, lying pack of slovenly frauds uses a Web 2.0 version of the Klan to publicly butcher the best humanity has to offer and then dare you to question their right to do it and laugh in your face about it

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

you get used to the thought of "they don't care about us, they only care about themselves" and then you watch in action that their self-centeredness is a specific kind that cannot even recognize that they might be in danger. baby walking through a construction site shit but it's an octogenarian rep

seeing "the slogan was stupid" w/defund bubble up again and am again going to say that it did not and does not matter, and also, winning over voters is not the important part.
because we've passed police reforms before. skimpy, but they're there.
enforcing them, however? seemingly impossible.

Once again tapping the sign - the natural world today is full of behavioural chaos, and this must have been the case throughout much of deep time.

the most concerning thing about them justifying murdering an obviously completely innocent murder by ICE is if they can justify and defend this, there’s nothing that’s too far for them. anything you can imagine them doing is very likely something they’ll stand behind

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

i want to believe the US will not let trump get away with saying that the shooter was actually ran over, and injured, and he is in hospital recovering & it is surprising he survived. none of that is even conceivably a bend of the truth, it's just a completely different reality. beyond the pale

The chart is almost complete! I'm happy with my selection of >1m animals, but this is your last chance to request a critter if you think I've missed an important one (no guarantees I'll add it though!).
Keep your eye out for the final chart - there is more to come! 👀

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

This is such a poorly known animal, and so I've based my reconstruction entirely on the description of it being 'deinonychosaurian' in nature. Adding it to the lineup, we've got our smallest critter so far - again eyeballing the size to some extent.
