You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.

A new ethics report shared with Democracy Docket, revealed that Republicans spent $2.9 million to stymie Missourians’ signature-gathering effort aimed at blocking the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander. But most notably, virtually all of that money went to a political firm with Trump ties.

it's crazy that there's isopod species spanning from the deep ocean to arid deserts while still looking basically the same. this is a message against fast fashion trend chasing. find a look that is truly timeless and for all locations, like the isopod body plan

Bit of a false alarm; crowd isn’t marching yet though they are assembled in the street currently. Making speeches still.

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder.
And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

seeing even more discourse yet again about "defund the police" and people yapping again about how it's a Bad Slogan and i think part of the problem here is people imagine themselves and their votes as The most important thing, the only thing, to think about.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.
