What we are seeing, from the ICE protests to the Super Bowl reaction, is that MAGA is a vocal minority, and most people don't want to live under that.
Liberals and lefties need to overcome the Reagan Syndrome that convinced them they were not "real America." Stop treating 1980 like it was Vietnam.

Sadly, Starmer is surrounded by a bunch of neo-Blairite weasels who are as bad as he is, or worse.
Is it going to take a disastrous Reform government to reset Labour to the left? What a shame.

Most people today are extremely unaware of the sheer amount of freedoms the last 80 years have taken from us. We live in the most restrictive age in human history by a significant margin
Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

I’m finally watching HAMNET. The fact that Buckley is tipped to win the Oscar over Byrne says a lot about Actor Brain. Extremes over modulation. 🙄

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.

Epstein was the money-man and organiser at the centre of a group of bigoted academic, scientists and journalists who powered the anti-trans movement.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

To these freaks, even people just disliking them or thinking they're not the crème de la crème of humanity is an unacceptable offence against their entire being. The idea of facing actual consequences is like telling a normal person they'll be drawn and quartered
It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

Also yes, Ashley Padilla was hilarious in the “mom dumps Trump” sketch. But the subtext is pretty dark. It’s Lorne saying “I feel like….giving this man a platform….may have been a bad idea.”

Stop calling artists "creatives." Stop calling art "content." if you are that committed to speaking like an algorithm, maybe it's time to unalive yourself.

In the wake of both ICE and Epstein, we don't have an "affordability crisis" or a "constitutional crisis."
We have a legitimacy crisis. Always have, but now everyone can see it.
Will any politician meet the moment? Probably not. It is up to us and us alone.

Poor Bezos. At least when Hearst used his newspaper empire to prop up his medium-talent wife, he presumably got a bit of tail in the bargain. That's neoliberalism for you. Even the whoring is outsourced.

Favorite: “If You Tolerate This, Your Children Will Be Next.” Least favorites: the Billy Ocean catalogue. That mofo has some long ass titles.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Every time Moms for Liberty etc talks about preserving young people's "innocence" through keeping them ignorant of age relevant sex education, what they mean is keeping kids vulnerable for predators.
So the projection is OFF THE CHARTS.
