you know it's bad when they would rather us think that a rando staffer has unfettered access to the social media accounts of the President of the United States, where we also now know that world leaders direct message him

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else.

Strange but true: by messaging on policy in accordance with desired ends, politicians can shape public opinion, rather than merely reflect their understanding of it.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
Tho I will say, in his defense, he's not the first person to be confused by how quickly the romance authors & readers can whip up finely tuned logistics out of nothing. 😂

This isn’t left vs right anymore. It’s democracy vs fascism. Many trapped in the GOP know something is wrong but see no safe exit. If leaving means exile, they won’t leave. We end this by giving them an off-ramp with dignity, & a way back. We can only reclaim our society - together.

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

How things function and why things happen are very complicated and require nuance (and involve good-faith disagreement between people of decent moral standing). And also the fundamental moral questions of our time are extremely simple.
unfortunately it appears that things are really complicated and getting the details matters a lot, sometimes more than anything, and also evil is extremely real. sorta the worst of both worlds there.
Me my whole life: Nothing is black and white. You have to consider nuance

Now: We face a heinous, remorseless evil

The grimness of US history should encourage us. Yes, people used to send lynching postcards. And other people saw that, worked towards building a more just society anyway, and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagination. There's more work to be done. What's our excuse for choosing despair instead?
I understand and appreciate the fact that for some it is genuinely uncomfortable and distracting to think about how grim US history is. yes, that is strategically relevant, and no, I wouldn't put "did you know people used to send lynching photos to each other as postcards?" on a recruitment flyer

Seeing people do "here's the savvy take on how and why the US should acquire Greenland" and just feeling so *embarrassed* for them. Have some dignity. You don't need to be an apologist for the world's dumbest autocrat, you're not somehow sophisticated for seeing The Smart Play on imperial vainglory.

I think this is right. So much of how they’re going about this, from the needless brutality to the masks and unofficial gear, really only makes sense if the calculated goal is to provoke violence against ICE agents.

How dare the press *checks notes* focus on the president threatening to take an ally's territory by force because he didn't get a peace prize, which would then lead to the destruction of the world's largest security pact.
