Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

great piece. man social media is a cancer themomoftheyear.substack.com/p/im-the-mom...

I am not a user of the apps, but I have extensive industry experience. The penalties an actual gambling org would have experienced for NOT respecting self-exclusion to this degree would have been enough to impact the company's public earnings.

Every word she said. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The African continent is suffering and those who pretend to care about genocides and famine don't seem to GAF about Black bodies suffering.

“Where is the outrage and the marches?”

Oh my God you self-absorbed self-righteous douchebag, we're not the ones being held responsible. I'm a 40-year-old white dude, I'm doing fine The ones facing punishment are a million dead Africans, immigrants we still don't even have a count of, and (checks notes) fucking Gazans!

right, this is what it's about: you're mad you're being held accountable after the fact for enabling a genocide. bsky.app/profile/john...

There is no such thing as revolutionary praxis. Or praxis in general The revolution will never happen. Society will never be radically restructured by any method other than cataclysmic collapse (which will be solely destructive). Whatever you do in the name of praxis is wasted & empty

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

I wanna make sure people understand the mendacity of this. Because below is what Becerra *actually* said. Erin lied.

This is even more mendacious than I had assumed

NEW GUY AT WORK: "Yeah I was in DC for Jan 6 -" Me: "Wait. Hol' up. Why were you in DC for Jan 6?" NEW GUY: "For the riots." Me: *Squints, preparing to be fired* NEW GUY: "What? Oh, NO, dude! I'm in the Guard!" ME: "OHHHHHH GOT IT. WE'RE IN SOUTH CAROLINA MAN, YOU NEVER KNOW"

The jingoistic islamophobic shit is why this wore off! There was a moment of national unity that could have been turned toward anything and we turned it toward war in the middle east and consumer spending. Pretending that was inevitable lets W off the hook!

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

I’m a Texan Trans Kid Who Almost Died Because of Ken Paxton. The World Should Know What He’s Done.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

you are allowed to tell me that voting doesn't matter only if you have killed a person for political reasons

Oh, this needs to happen. No hiding or excuses. Just Darlene Graham and Annie Andrews on that debate stage. 🔥 “The television stations are ready. I’m ready. The only person we haven’t heard from is the woman who believes she deserves to be handed a six-year Senate term.” - Annie Andrews

Honestly, big mood

Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

Exciting news everybody: so long as you change the name on the tin of your empire, it is suddenly not imperialism for you to violently reconquer the people you used to control, it's just sparkling anti-secessionism. Tankies, man, wow.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

Trump on the other hand, is kind of an outlier. Nakedly self-interested, largely un-ideological, he's somebody you'd find in charge of some tinpot dictatorship or something. There aren't really prior American examples of this.

Bush was a failure, but a failure in a very American, very hegemonic way -- he honestly wanted to make things better (Saddam really *was* a psychotic dictator), but he was undone by his arrogance and his ignorance. And that's a very common way for great powers to fuck up. Happens regularly.

Just gonna point out that there's a traditional appellation, of sorts, that means "bringer of light"

The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Sorry but “I beg your forgiveness for the fact that the death of my father made my thoughts stray from you and your joy for even one second, O Bringer of Light” is not a love letter, it’s a cult devotional.

man, haus, this is definitely the complaint for you to make. as someone who's definitely made useful contributions to the struggle for freedom. certainly no one could accuse you of being someone who just makes emotionally satisfying creative works with complete political impotence.
