the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Every child thinks that because he can destroy something in seconds, he can create something to replace it just as effortlessly. He sees the acts of destruction and creation as equal partners, forces that balance each other.

My question is who the fuck is next? If he’s now just doing this shit without any oversight at all, and with absolutely no one stopping him, why *wouldn’t* he invade Canada? Why *wouldn’t* he invade Greenland? Why *wouldn’t* he take back the Panama Canal?!

starting in six weeks or so, you will hear right wing and centrist commentators on cable news, podcasts etc start to refer to Mamdani as if it's obvious that he's failed, extremely unpopular etc. its very important in order for their plot to succeed that any left wing pol be discredited

My daughter finished her Santa letter, but she crossed through a lot of things and rewrote parts of it. I suggested she write a cleaner draft.
And then it occurred to me that I was the only audience for this letter and I'm making her rewrite it FOR ME.
I just gave my daughter homework.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

You may as well get used to seeing this picture everywhere. It will be in history books, on t-shirts, album covers, protest signs. There is a clear villain and a clear victim and if you have any trouble whatsoever sorting those out then perhaps it's time to sort out your conscience.
![Text that reads,
Rev. David Black, Pastor, 1st Presbyterian Chicago: "I extended my arms, palms outreached towards the ICE officers, in a traditional Christian posture of prayer and blessing. Without any warning [...] I was fired upon by ICE officers. In rapid fire I was hit 7 times on my arms, face, and torso with exploding pellets that contained some kind of chemical agent. It was clear to me that the officers were aiming for my head, which they struck twice."
Below that, a photograph of that very scene: ICE officers in military fatigues and obscuring masks fire point- blank at a clergyman in traditional clerical garb. Rev. Black's face is contoured in pain as the photograph captures him mid-fall.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3ewutsyuyzbwhvt4ppeoced5/bafkreihs6yd7a2aycgcate27o3ajrwn5r7hh2nzfbkgomhigkrhnxvpxlm@jpeg)
