The goal of a broad anti-fascist alliance isn’t to agree on everything. It is to defeat fascism, so that liberals, neocons, progressives, and nationalists can disagree bitterly about everything else

One of the worst things about driving is other drivers. One of the best things about cycling is other cyclists.
As a car guy who loves biking… so true. It’s the opposite with biking though, but it never clicked for me before!

This is also why I’m not a fan of the FAFO line of post-election shitposting. How many people actually thought they were voting to, like, ban trees in cities and to pull the US out of the World Health Organization?
Maybe they were naive. They were also lied to by a lot of powerful people.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...
$75 million was awarded to plant trees in places that badly need them. In anti-DEI push, that's over
The U.S. Forest Service has terminated $75 million awarded to the Arbor Day Foundation to help disadvantaged communities plant trees.

Can we just make Yosemite, Sequoia, Joshua Tree, Lassen, Pinnacles and all the National Parks in California into Cal State parks?
We can hire the rangers back and take care of our lands.
We have 9 of the 63 National Parks here. The park rangers were treated so cruelly, and our lands are forever.

The lure of Elon’s alternate reality for his followers is so powerful that he will tell them that pulling books off shelves, deleting words from government websites, and banning programs for their kids based on words they used is all part of fighting back against censorship. And they just let him

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

You may not like it, but Leah's right. There's a reason the Prodigal Son is a parable in almost every culture. when someone experiencing cognitive dissonance comes to you, you have two choices: embrace them, and win them over forever; or reject them, ensuring they never again question their beliefs.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without
