I vastly prefer this genre of posting to the people who write tragedy porn about us going to death camps because they need to quote dunk on some marginally annoying cis person.

Show some real spirit, people.
I hope Woke 2 means we get to dispense with the fear of exercising power and the glorification of being an underdog in itself. Because no, I don't want to be the underdog forever. I don't want to constantly fight the establishment. I want cultural hegemony. I want the reactionaries trembling.

I was in CVS earlier and they made an announcement over the PA system about World AIDS Day and how much they supported it, in case you were wondering how Woke 2 is gonna go
The United States government had nothing to say to commemorate World AIDS Day, the first time the nation has withheld official recognition since the World Health Organization established the day in 1988. https://bit.ly/4ouze0S

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

there is no legitimate definition of the term "democracy" under which maps like these are "democratic." this level of stovepiping is banana republic shit. this is effectively no different from stuffing a ballot box
Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0.

The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18.

A fall guy is also a remarkable turn for Trump. It’s not his habit because it’s ultimately a retreat.
Bradley is definitely guilty, nobody seems to be disagreeing on that, but I do doubt that this will be the extent of the bleeding
The fall guy. Though he is probably also guilty of first degree murder.

one problem this poses for the admin is that hegseth is maybe the single least likely member of the cabinet to be willing to fall on his sword and go quietly, but this is why you don’t hire tv guys for important jobs
it sure seems like what happened is that the admin told hegseth and maybe rubio they could do whatever they wanted with the military, but do not intend to offer any cover, which is why, if you are enlisted, you need to pay close attention to whether your orders coming from command are actually legal
everyone is correctly noting that they’re throwing bradley under the bus, but they’re also throwing hegseth under it

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) says Pete Hegseth should "resign immediately" if it's true he gave a directive to “kill everybody” in a strike on boats in the Caribbean, including a second strike to kill survivors of the first strike.

“If the reports are true, Pete Hegseth likely committed a war crime."

As a NYer, every time I see something about Europeans bitching about tourism, all I can think is "skill issue"
December 1, 2025 at 7:50 PM
lol
Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

As an adjunct, I will note that its darkly funny that the dynamic rn is that college admins have been leaning on faculty hard to be more rigorous w grading & to stop "handing out" As & will also absolutely throw us under the bus if a student bitches about a bad grade they got to them.

Its fun how each new lie they tell about his health just digs them in a bit deeper rather than doing the opposite
Leavitt claims Trump had a "preventative" MRI because "men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health"

If you are a radiologist and this memo about Trump's "executive physical" seems fishy -- a preventive MRI? no mention of brain health in this? -- I am eager to hear from you.

Surprise: The White House physician says Trump's health is "excellent," nothing weird about him getting a random MRI

You dont have a first amendment right to not getting a bad grade on an assignment you didnt follow the instructions for.
Always liked Parker, so this nastiness is rather disappointing.

I’ll always defend trans rights as I have all my career. But I also believe in the First Amendment’s protecting people being wrong.

And that’s where my engagement will respectfully end for the day.
Here's what this is actually about, dumbass

Apparently Kash Patel had a diva meltdown, refusing to disembark a plane unless he had an FBI raid jacket with VELCRO patches.

Two FBI SWAT members took the patches off of their jackets and affixed them to a female special agent’s jacket for Kash to wear (the men’s jackets were too big for Kash).

While noodling on this on the train, i think that "just run indies" also irks me bc at its core it treats the red state Republican voter issue as something that is ultimately just aesthetics. And, while aesthetics are certainly playing a part, ppls beliefs are playing a far bigger one.
The toxicity of the democrat brand in red states is that it’s liberal to socialist in temperament. I assure you that red state voters who keep picking Republicans are not nascent pro labor voters who yearn for organized labor to air drop in to promote economic equality!

I confess that I (like anyone else whos being honest) dont have the solution to Fix Politics™️ but I continually come back to the fact that the past decades been marked by ppl simultaneously voting on firm beliefs as well as for politicians that promise to do the opposite of what they say they want.
