I hate saying this because I'm guiltier of this than almost any living dude, but... We'll never be as good at propaganda as Donald Trump or JD Vance are. Requires amorality. And if we're sharing something they're saying, chances are we're just—if anything—helping them.

News cycles move fast, but it’s sometimes worth slowing down to reckon with what this government is doing. In service of its racial project, it is willing to beat, kill, and subordinate anyone it deems a threat. This is a violent white nationalist project.

Musk isn't just a rich dumbass, a liar, not the savior loyalists hoped, etc.
He is, in fact, one of the worst people to ever have lived. He is a true monster. His acts in the last 12 months alone are aimed at killing millions, normalizing child sexual abuse, and destroying civil society globally.

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

Then push your colleuges to defund ICE. While you're there, maybe stop pushing KOSA since it does nothing to protect kids, and only furthers harm against trans and queer people.

Here's the thing though: Not a single member is demanding changes from leadership. No one is trying to replace them. No one is threatening to leave the party.

A few weeks back I added this song to the playlist at work. One of the 20 y.o.’s said “You played a new song that was really fun, I loved it.” Confirmed, it was The Lovecats. She’s now asking for more Cure. And just like that another Cure fan is born. 🖤

Yes, and tbh most Dems need to be replaced at this point. I'm tired of the game they play where there is always JUST enough of them making the unpopular vote so the rest of them can pretend they were serious about a moral stance.

If you are somehow, beyond all reason, still on Twitter, you are financially supporting violating women and also financially supporting child pornography.

Hank Cosby (b. 1928) died 36 years ago today. The songwriter & producer had a hand in three of Motown's all-time top tier # 1 hits: "Fingertips," "Love Child," and "Tears of a Clown." Here's the Beat (or the English Beat, as we Americans call them) covering Smokey Robinson:

Quit. Stop following illegal orders. The time to avoid future war crimes tribunals is now.
In a long, scathing interview, a member of the DC National Guard accuses the Trump administration of "parading [us] around to intimidate people." He talks candidly about what his deployment has been like.
