So Congress’s insurrectionist will be able to sue for $500,000 cause of a bogus phone sweep during 1/6. But our personal info is stolen almost daily and we just get 1 year of fraud protection and a $2 check?

It's hard to disconnect yourself from capitalist pseudoculture, but it's more important now than ever. Spotify is replacing your playlists with corporate muzak. Harry Potter shit is being churned out by the same people who own Batman and The Sopranos. They want to kill the human capacity for art.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

I was homeless once. They literally want me dead. I'm queer. They want me dead. I'm disabled. They want me dead. I'm Jewish and don't support Israel. They want me dead. I have a trans boyfriend. They want both of us dead. Fuck. That. Noise.
So now we just give them “involuntarily lethal injections”! wtf!!

Fox News needs to burn down
Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

A reckoning is coming between the wing of the Democratic Party that is willing and able to confront the rise of American authoritarianism with the strategy and tactics that it demands and those who are not.

And it is obvious to me which side of that fight the party's base is going to be on.
if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you
Toxic feedback loop has kicked in: Trump's propagandists tell credulous reporters that occupying cities is good politics for him. Media echoes this as self-evidently true. That reinforces Dem instincts not to engage.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

sorry to get political, but if they wanted to protect kids, they would feed them. they would invest in their education. they would build more parks, more programs, and invest in their future.

if they wanted to protect kids, they would build a world meant for them.

In *my *disaster apocalypse story, not only are disabled people not left behind, but they're actually a priority, because aid is distributed based on need. See, my disaster apocalypse story would be set in a society that gave a shit about everybody.

Four sisters
And one dead twin
What did you invest your lives in?
What did you put your souls in?
What lives on because of you,
My lovelies, my lionesses?
What stays in this world, touched by your touch?

Tell me your stories.
Share them with me.
And I will share them with the world.
