Entropy-defying wind blowing for an entropy-defying humanity Atheist Anarchist. Farthest Left Extremist Eliminate compulsory work from human society Only liberal with block, follow, unfollow, watching Star Trek & drinking water and suffering for it at 2 AM

it is a certain kind of funny that the same kind of people who go "what did they expect? they told you what they were gonna do!" to republican voters getting impacted negatively by republican policy are the same kind of people who'll go "that's just to play for the rubes" when dems say bullshit

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

assuming we don't have an auto-golpe or whatever in the next 2-4 years etc etc, the thing about this Missouri GOP fuck up is that it has, in a matter of ~72 hours, managed to spiral into such a fuck up that it may have set the stage for a series of progressive ballot initiatives for the next X years

Another point: if i recall correctly, within the last 2-3 years, a trans woman was elected to some public seat and said she doesnt care about the bathroom issue. You know, the thing we are being murdered over. She immediately gave it up and corrupted her principles on like, day one.

Gay marriage was a new right that we lgbtq people were fighting for back then. Trans healthcare, sports, gender marker changes, etc have been around for years, decades in some instances. This is like a dem coming out NOW and opposing gay marriage in 2026.

Dew with cane sugar always tastes Wrong to me. Like it *should* have that shitty corn syrup artificiality. White sugar in Dew is like an EDM act started thrashing the keyboard and piano noises came out.

Just a little more incrementalism until Dems can grow a spine dude. just another few decades dawg. Just one or two more centuries of polite incrementalism and Dems can form an exploratory committee to choose the folder for the "do good things someday" file. Just a few thousand more elections bro

i want to apologize again to everyone who may have heeded my advice, did not get wrongfully terminated from their job, and as such did not score a once in a lifetime lawsuit payout. i will spend the day in reflection be better in the future about not discouraging my followers from getting that bag

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

i don't care what the issue is, if your election opponent is running millions of dollars in ads about one single issue, you cannot, under any circumstances, say that your opponent is right about the issue.

one time we went back to the Taco Bell we had worked at in our early 20s and some kid behind the counter who we had never met before in our life was like YOU CAN'T CHARGE THIS PERSON FOR THEIR FOOD, HE'S LIKE THE GODFATHER OF DOING DRUGS ON THE CLOCK HERE and, like, fair but also how did he know

if we’re not gonna do that and democrats are gonna try the same shit they’ve been lurching toward for six unspectacular years, i guess i’m going to run for office & propose a nationwide ban on lifesaving surgery for senators. probably wins me more votes at this point.

Absolutely fascinating watching the confusion in England as to why masked men are allowed to march wherever they want and intimidate whoever they feel like while the police and politicians do nothing. *waves from Northern Ireland*

As a brown migrant living in the UK legally, this is precisely why there can be *no* compromise on the fundamental right of seeking asylum. Pretty quickly it’s anyone who ‘looks’ like an asylum seeker - ie brown or black - who is targeted. No one is safe from this.

If a lEgiTiMaTe dEbATe aBOut iMMigRaTioN leads to people turning up with pitchforks to demand credentials from every group of young non-white men arriving in town, you’d think even Labour MPs would start asking themselves if it’s really a legitimate debate

Amanda Martin, Labour MP for Portsmouth North, called the hotel incident "deeply concerning".
She said: "It's completely unacceptable that misinformation has led to young cricketers visiting our city being wrongly targeted and mistaken for people seeking asylum.
"It's also wrong that people who work in the hotels had to deal with this.
"Those who arrived in Portsmouth on Sunday were transported outside of Hampshire for processing.
"There is a legitimate debate to be had about immigration, but it must be based on facts not misinformation or rumour."
The BBC understands the England and Wales Cricket Board has checked on wellbeing of the Pakistani under-19s team, and is reviewing security arrangements for the remainder of their tour.

I genuinely wonder what it's like being a "Centrist" these days, smugly certain only mild tweaks need to be made to society for it to be perfect while fascist militias march with impunity and governments are all in on a tech its *creators* say will kill us all.
