To all those dorks that said "violence never fixes anything!" I would like to offer a counter-argument:

in a hundred years we'll be seen as great artists simply because we quoted the bizarre utterances of republicans in our collages

Do Schadenfreude in private if you must, but now is the time to try to see who can be reached rather than sneering.

democrats—resist the urge to look at these people and say “oh you are very stupid” and instead say, “here is a voter who looked at biden and kamala and saw no solutions for the most pressing problems in their life.” how do you fix that? bold rhetoric and action to back it up. and better propaganda.

Huh, well, I hope Google also removed Christmas and Easter from their calendar app. What are folks using for email and calendaring that isn't Google?

This puts so cogently what a lot of us have already been thinking.

While Tables Burn: On the (Non) Existence of Trans People and the Failure of Philosophy (guest post) - Daily Nous

"There are indeed consequences when we punch down or pretend that what is, in fact, a hostile attack, is merely 'inquiry for inquiry’s sake.' Aside from the emotional wounds we inflict on actual people, philosophical discourse matters beyond that. It did matter in this case." The following is a guest post by Talia Mae Bettcher, Professor of

already tired of uttering "what the fuck"

My dogs' evening farts have become a source of comfort in these trying times.

Maybe they’re unconsciously trying to show us how scared they have been by making us feel it. The call is coming from inside the house.

If you meet a MAGA on the street, would it be rude to say, "Oh hey, dude, my mother in-law is MAGA. Maybe you know her?"

I don't want to watch Fox News, but I'd like to read conversations and comments by "regular ol" MAGA to understand what they think is happening right now. How does one look outside of their bubble? My MAGA family members are too freaked out by my wife's trans-ness to offer anything useful.

In my opinion, while the fish is great, HandoSake (SLC) is unsafe for LGBTQ+ folk and immigrants.

Reproductivehealth dot gov, and the Spanish language version of Whitehouse dot gov, were taken down?

For folk defending Musk: if there's no reason to get upset about what he did, then you do it. Now. Go into the street and copy him. Do it in the office. Right now. Stand up at your desk and do it. If we're wrong and you're right, get your kid to do it. Do it in front of your parents. Prove us wrong.

Do any SLC locals know anything about the restaurant HandoSake? I have some concerns, but caution is warranted, you know?

I guess it's not surprising that Whitehouse dot gov was totally sacked, and the White House Instagram was gutted. Creepy as can be.

Although left-leaning source, this does a good job of summarizing what’s going on, and , in part, why we are so frightened right now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
