Join us on the 29th before the parade to march and demand a Pride that fights for queer rights, chooses community over corporations, and honors Pride's roots as a rebellion against repressive cops.

The shitbag DNC being run by closet conservatives isn't a surprise - it's by design.
Who the DNC actually works for is the super-rich, which is why the squash any major move to stand for the working class, immigrants, and minorities - their alleged base.

Oh NO. Lmaooo. Dems. Please fucking clean up your own house. Maybe now we know why Kamala's campaign went all in on Cheney and stopped saying weird.
We had literal voting Republicans running her campaign.

"Libertarian utopia" is an oxymoron
The Town That Went Feral
When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.

When people tell me that they are having nightmares about what's going on in this country, I try to reassure them by saying things like, "you were probably awake".

1/ There's a national protest called by people with no organizing experience. I hear things like "locally, the person who pulled the permit is a real person that wanted to help".
The protest may be fine. It may be a dangerous mess. Either way, here are some problems:

Bear in mind that the ADL says Musk doing a very clear nazi salute after years of posting white supremacist memes on Xitter is "not antisemetic".
But college kids saying Israel should stop bombing hospitals and schools is "antisemetic". In fact, they say Jews criticizing Israel are "antisemitic".

1/ Playing down apartheid billionaire unelected overlord making an actual nazi salute at the inauguration is dangerous.
It was clearly not a joke, accident, or mistake. It was a rallying call to nazis, white supremacists, and other far right authoritarian.

Today crystalizes Biden's legacy. If a ceasefire could happen on the last day of the Biden administration, it could have happened well before. 100,000+ dead or missing. Every hospital destroyed. Not enough food or water. Daily war crimes. The genocide is on Biden.

Remember isn't just there to fight misinformation. It is there to prevent Facebook from being the tool to spread ethnic cleansing and other political violence

I was curious so I looked. Article 5 of the NATO treaty requires NATO countries to come to the defence of each other when attacked.
It has no exceptions if the aggressor is another NATO country.
You know, in case it ever comes up. Hypothetically of course.

All the Dems patting themselves on the back because we're not doing a coup today need to STFU.
Because of ineptitude, cowardice, laziness and devotion to centrism, they did nothing meangful about the coup, the supreme court, or mass misinformation. And that got us here.

People need to remember that in the Reagan years, we didn't invest in AIDS research because CONSRRVATIVES WANTED PEOPLE TO DIE OF AIDS. It was "God's wrath" on homosexuals and drug addicts. They cheered it on. They joked about it.

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)
