Literally just saw a tiktok where the dude interviewed two young people who said they voted for Trump. The dude, who was Latino, said that Trump passed the vibe check compared to Kamala.

interviewer: he raped a woman

Guy: what

interviewer: Donald trump he raped a woman. Was that the vibe check?
I get that most people aren't really equipped to follow politics from a heavy policy standpoint, but an electorate that votes based on vibes is going to kill us all.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

This pretty please with your neighbors and coworkers too.

He basically just said: trying to take agency away from women is bad but he was a nice guy.

They are going to ignore court orders.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.
