legitimately love this guy.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Gavin Newsom is an absolute freak who is obsessed with trans girls and homeless people. If he wants normality in his life he should start by having the personal maturity of the median grocery store cashier
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

The San Diego Metropolitan Correctional Center was projection bombed last night. Images shown over the prison’s surface decried immigration enforcement, the current presidential admin, and the need to observe a day of mourning rather than one of thanksgiving.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Everyone could use a reminder that the idea behind our system of government is that we cede some of our power to it in exchange for it working on our behalf. When it stops doing that it becomes illegitimate and must be changed. The idea that the people can "betray" a government organ is perverse

and I'll add, it doesn't matter what you're wearing when you say gay people should be stoned to death, it doesn't matter what tone you use, it doesn't matter whether you smile politely, it is not "civil" in any meaningful sense to express that idea.
if someone quotes Leviticus saying gay people should be stoned to death, and calls that "God's perfect law," it's accurate to say they called for gay people to be stoned to death. Likewise, it's inaccurate to say they never called for it. bc I can parse language and understand how humans communicate
