It's 2024, right after the election, the only description that fits is "sad, tired, and grieving".

The chutzpah of a white man to tell women, people of color, and LGBTQ students that removing their support systems is "valuable" for them. It's obscene.

I am *so* happy to have a flavor of autism, adhd, and anxiety that compels me to doublecheck shit. Like, I don't trust my own memory 100%, and I sure as heck don't trust a salesman's promise.
So I kinda live with an abiding belief that I don't know enough and some of what I know is wrong.

Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on:
“We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“

My most disturbing thing is when my grandparents died from it
RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Being anti trans is a core part of being a fascist. It's not a distraction, it's not one of their minor side issues. It is a core value
If someone is trying to get you to be anti trans it is likely because they're trying to onboard you

1. Stephen Miller took to the presidential podium in the White House Press Room to celebrate Trump's first 100 days.
When he did so, he promoted new pushes to indoctrinate kids on how to be "patriots," including apparently being anti-trans.

It is crazymaking watching 20 straight years - from Iraq to the 08 financial crisis to Trump - of the left being constantly derided for being correct on the merits by the people who got everything disastrously wrong and suffered no penalties except being posted at.

I must say I no longer believe that this is reminiscent of the Nazi playbook, I believe they’re using the Nazi playbook - offshore extermination and concentration camps, targeting people on basis of race and manufactured legality, academic onslaught, media, gender policing it’s all there.

The US tariffs were designed by dipshit sex pest failsons asking chatgpt to regurgitate a trade policy for them, it's literally a chatgpt tax on Americans.

Just another time a Democrat proves they only listen to or court votes from Republicans... who will never ever vote for them.
Why do these utterly evil people opposed to my existence have to be so thoroughly stupid? This isn't good politics under any sane perspective, except joining GOP hate.

In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."

No Other Land has won this year's Oscar for best documentary. This is a big deal.
Despite being worthy of an Oscar, the film has NOT been able to find distribution in the US because it's about the forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes by Israel.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.
