If these guys weren't as stupid as they are evil they'd understand the radicalizing effect of their rhetoric and behavior on regular people. You're going to have suburban moms quoting Lenin at this rate

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

The Spanish version is “the left liberates, the right oppresses” and once I learned that, both screws and politics made more sense

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Fox News, crushing it. 🫠 'as would be obvious to anyone who did even the most basic reporting, the video was entirely AI generated. The women did not exist... It was digital fiction presented as fact. Fox News fell for it completely.' - @mmasnick.bsky.social www.techdirt.com/2025/11/04/f...
Fox News Fell For AI-Generated Rage Bait, Rewrote Story To Pretend It Didn’t
Fox News has a problem: when you build your entire editorial model around feeding your audience’s biases, you stop asking whether the stories feeding those biases are actually true. Case in p…

Hastily made sign tells me there's some reason why they very quickly need to be able to tell someone who otherwise wouldn't know that this is the door to the Oval Office. Perhaps another indication of Trump's dementia?

There is no way that you can police gender that isn't fundamentally a way to police gender non conformity. And fucking/loving someone of the same gender is GNC behaviour. It's gender all the way down.
Fascist governments are undermining abortion access, trans health care, gay relationships, etc under the guise of “fighting gender ideology.” So, anyone who believes in women’s rights and gay rights should be showing solidarity to oppose their politics, not colluding with it to attack trans people.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Fascism is, by its very nature, inherently self-destructive and prone to collapse. The problem is how much suffering they inflict on others on their way out. We will win in the end, but we must fight all the harder to limit the harm they can cause on their way out.
The more i see of how the fash are responding to everything, the more i think that they're actually more scared than they're letting on and are acting more like cornered predator trying to make itself look bigger.

There's a lot going wrong in trump World rn and they cant risk any infighting

Same thing with transgender and gender-expansive people.
There is no autism epidemic.

There is only better identification of existing autistic people.

Anyone claiming otherwise is either ignoring, denying—or does not understand—contemporary autism research, or is selling something.

I saw someone earnestly say they didn’t understand why a gay politician would be closeted “in this day and age”… do people not realize that due to the continued and arguably resurgent existence of homophobia some people never even come out to themselves.

One of the most remarkable and impactful transformations of all human technology and civilization in history is happening right now!
China's July 2025 solar production was ~50% higher than its July 2024 solar output!

China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.

China's solar will generate in 2025 an amount of electricity equal to about 27% of USA's electricity demand. #energysky
