I am scared I will soon not be able to see Mario again. However, I promise that until that day arrives, I will always be here, posting Mario facts. Thank you all so much for your support through the years.

Leftism is being told to shut up & stop rocking the boat about genocide or Graham Platner or Boston Dynamics dogs or militarized cops or Republicans being baseline nazis in real time & then waiting for the day everyone who said shut up turns out to have agreed all along once the truth is undeniable

Why do you care what people who vote for pedophiles think?

From a dear comrade who is a long-time Florida organizer...

debate over on twitter about why so many GC woman defend and celebrate rapists and other abusers and there’s a lot of talk about aligned political goals or being pickmes or whatever but imo it comes down to a sense of ownership of the bodies of the unworthy, the repulsive and the slutty

Any honest discussion about banning conversion practices in the UK must begin by recognising the NHS never stopped doing it. They’ve actually increased in recent years, thanks to this govt. Philosophy Tube won the Amnesty award for exposing them. youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Britain Still Has Conversion Therapists. Here’s Why.

look the weapons and finance industries might exploit entire populations by ursury, and murder, but onlyfans lets women get paid for having agency over their own bodies. And that's worse /s

Collective Shout, the antiporn group behind the crackdown on Steam, says it will launch a campaign Monday targeting sex workers on TikTok, calling it an “OnlyFan pipeline” This isn’t about exploitation or porn access. They want to eliminate sex worker voices from the public square

Transphobes will do anthing, say anything, make up anything in order to derail a UK ban on conversion therapy. A ban that would benefit the entire LGBTQIA plus community. Transphobes will burn it all down with their hatred of those who are different.

The thing they say won't happen happened (certainly isn't the first, and won't be the last). I thought they could always tell, and as the chair of the EHRC put it, "human beings are very good at telling the sex of somebody...we do that on multiple points of information".

Just---what will make you care? If it isn't women's sports orgs being attacked while having 0 trans woman athletes, if it isn't the push to inspect children's genitals, if it isn't all the evidence of how much we're harmed and assaulted and denied participation in society, WHAT WILL MAKE YOU CARE?

The most maddening thing about the Sensible Moderate Approach to trans rights is that there is (purposefully, imo) no acknowledgement of sheer volume of hateful disinformation propagated about trans people daily. We face this from religious extremists to billionaires to obsessive journalists.

The incredible thing is we know exactly who did it. In a bizarre series of connections, they were also partially responsible for stoking the anti-lgbtq panic that led to the brutal murders of gay people in Uganda. It was a locally-grown Christian supremacist hate group in deep blue Massachusetts.

This, of course, is an egregious abuse of executive power. It is an impeachable offense. Full stop. Just because he has done it publicly does not make it acceptable. Trump must resign immediately.

Trump calls for Democrats who have sent oversight letters and messages to Republicans to be imprisoned and orders Todd Blanche to investigate

To be absolutely clear: This was another Y2K situation. Lots and lots of people worked diligently for months and years, at great cost, taking hours away from their friends & family, to make our elections a bit more free and fair. Voting was still threatened! It still took record-breaking turnout!

Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 2d ago

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

Hot take: using "biological" before a gender is utterly meaningless and has no point other than prejudice and bigotry. I'm a "biological" woman. I'm not an android. I'm a biological life form, and I'm a woman, so I'm a biological woman, and I'm no less a biological woman than any cis woman.

there we go. that’s the take. fuck olive branches. fuck “you almost have to feel bad for a guy losing so hard.” fuck “let’s bring him to gondor and use him for good.” elon musk “is, in literal and fundamental terms, incompatible with a functional and functioning society.” yes.

There's no place in a functional society for Elon Musk: defector.com/there-is-no-...

Make him do it. Veto a minimum wage bill. An anti-corruption bill. An end the war bill. A stop ICE bill. A save medicaid bill. A lower prices bill. Make him veto everything people want. Create the contrast, electoralize it, win in '28, and then make it all law in '29. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

Amen to all of this, but especially the bragging part. The New Deal was constantly advertising itself and the Great Society too. Take a lesson from them -- you can't just do good things and expect voters to notice. You've got to brag about what you've done. A lot.

Greg Pak@gregpak.net · yesterday

I suspect the real place for Democrats to solidify this win will be at the state and local level. That's where Ds have the chance of IMMEDIATELY making change and helping people in their everyday lives. Push your local pols to Mamdanify the shit out of the entire country, y'all. And BRAG about it.

correct. Also I wouldn't be shocked to see someone or the other try and make the first backstab move on the basis that the king is cooked

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 22h ago

And the goal of demanding that Trump resign ISN'T TO GET HIM TO ACTUALLY DO IT, although it's hardly beyond the realm of possibility. It's that it puts the entire GOP in a position where they have no good options: rally around the hated president, or disclaim him and fracture the party.

As an old white guy born in the south, I sure the f*ck hope MAGA is the last breath of the Confederacy but I think the Confederate-mindset is more like herpes and the disease will come back if not properly treated and medicated.

Everyone saying Dems should work on real issues, not investigations, is neglecting that corruption is a top issue for the public.

We need FRESH new party leadership that aligns with what we just voted for. Fierce & focused - no corporate /no old school - we need someone Jared Kushner can’t bribe, hustle, or con or swindle. Unafraid of criminal bully. Historic moment - let’s meet it with courage and unbending resolve

And now they’re gonna act like they meant to do it and not that president peepaw got confused about two different dana whites

my favourite examples of corruption comedy from Hungary: - what is obviously some guy's personal residence having a sign on it saying that it's a daycare financed using EU funds - EU-funded "canopy trail" but they logged the trees while it was under construction so it just kinda sits there

100% agree. The Democrats need to hire the best vertical-video producers in the country and fund them to put out a CONSTANT stream of social media Content about the ongoing investigations into GOP crimes + how Democrats are rebuilding America. I am deadly serious about this.

Thor Benson@thorbenson.bsky.social · yesterday

They've gotta make content! Do well-produced videos about the investigations that people can share

Is the NYT ever, ever going to do these kind of safari trips to blue areas? Talk with latino hotel workers in Vegas? Middle-aged suburban resistance moms? Young black men? Does the paper ever extend its empathy to anyone other than disgruntled white people?
