what if the firehose of fascist shit isn't wiping out the memory of the electorate? what if it's just hitting different things? and idk it seems like a persisting problem to me that dems aren't in lockstep with and fully tied to no kings, possibly the biggest social movement in american history

things take time to percolate but truly the weirdest shit keeps percolating and resonating. I interviewed a super normie at no kings last time and he had a sign joking about being antifa and the number one thing he was mad about off the top of his head was venezuelan boat strikes

Also, anytime you are thinking about calling the cops, ask yourself, "will this situation be improved by (more) guns?" If the answer is no, don't call them.

(And yes I added “…to protect freedom” as a qualifier. To what degree that complicates whom we should celebrate and whom we shouldn’t is a good question we should be wrestling with imo).

War is mass trauma that ruins the psychological & physical health of everyone it touches & doesn't kill — for generations.
I'm glad we celebrate the valor of those who served to protect freedom. But we can't forget why it never should've happened in the fist place.

During the Civil War, more than 20% of Union soldiers were also foreign-born, mostly from Germany and Ireland. During World War I, approximately half a million immigrants were serving in the US military. “Foreigners have continued to serve in significant numbers since World War II.” #VeteransDay
In fact, immigrant service members fought in major conflicts since our country’s founding. “Hundreds of thousands of immigrants pledged to defend the United States with their lives in the Civil War, both World Wars, and conflicts like those in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.” #VeteransDay
new from @tusk81.bsky.social:

Veteran’s Day can’t be properly observed without also noting the vast, heroic contributions of immigrant service members to the United States military.

Unfortunately, our nation has not always given its service members the respect they deserve.

My grandfather was 15 when he left Ukraine for America, where (still just 15) he volunteered as an American GI in WWI. During 2 years of trench warfare, he was mustard-gassed and bayoneted in the skull. He returned to the US a bipolar, paranoid, and with lifelong PTSD—still proud to have served.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

This woman’s TimTok crusade* is blowing up — glad to see regular people talking en mass about how “Christianity” is largely failing the test of basically everything said in the Sermon on the Mount etc.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Don’t forget lifetime maximums , even on employer plans. I would have been uninsurable by age 31 without ACA because of two hugely expensive medical emergencies. The only only reason I was able to have kids was ACA

The fights I had on the phone advocating for my employees' health coverage were outrageous. Parents who had kids with genetic syndromes. Older employees with cancer. Increasing the number of roadblocks to care was their strategy (that, and increasing the reserves they could invest and keep.)

I'll never forget when I was meeting with the BCBSIL VP of Customer Service in 1990 about our plan and he, looking bored, looked at his watch. Then asked me "Hey, would you like a trip to Bourbonnais from Meigs Field in our plane? You can see the Call Center." The waste. The lack of care.

I'm a member of many hemp industry organizations that are all freaking out right now. One, the Midwest Hemp Council, has this helpful answer to the question everyone is asking: Why is the Senate going after hemp now? Basically a bullshit campaign from market competitors and prohibitionists.

So of course, it is the same 761 unit that was among those prevented from celebrating the liberation of Paris that they were so instrumental in bringing about...

That was part of the force that liberated Netherlands, and whose dead are among those honored by the Dutch at the cemetery in Margraten.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.

Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

I mean you can’t justify why the global south is poor and the capitalist imperial nations are rich without sounding racist.
Is it any coincidence that a large majority of anti-communists also happen to be racist?
