James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

same church where when i was 12 the adults tried to peer pressure us into speaking in tongues at church camp and eventually i just pretended so they’d leave us alone
When I was a teenager I went to church bc I live in the south it’s what you do but anyway they made the entire youth group come up during service so they could pray over us right? And this one guy is laying hands on me and praying over me and I swear 80% of the time people pass out when he prays….

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

The easiest thing in the world would be to vote against all of his nominees. I just can’t understand it. “He‘ll nominate someone worse!” Then vote no on that nom too! Pretend you’re a republican during Obama.

i want to note that the christofascist attack on "porn" isn't actually an attempt to make the internet or the world child safe in any real way. these people abuse the fuck out of children and oppose sex education largely because it makes children able to identify and name that abuse

this is going to be such an increased barrier to healthcare access for a patient population who already has enough barriers and it infuriates me
“ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows”
“The average person who buys Affordable Care Act insurance will be paying 75% more for their premium, according to the analysis from KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group.”

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows
A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

"defund the police" was a slogan endlessly ridiculed and pilloried.
now we've followed through on the logic of policing at a national level, slashing the safety net to spend more and more on fascist cops

Defund ICE, fund Medicare.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
