its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

pointing out the rights hypocrisy about freedom of speech doesn’t really do too much but i honestly am just stunned how blatantly and quickly they reversed on pretty much every constitutional freedom the moment they gained full power

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"
Have had a cough for a week now that's quite intrusive. Finally went to urgent care, apparently it's "post viral inflammation" where your lungs keep their sick response going. Anyway it's apparently gotten much much more prevalent since covid, so that's cool.

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.
That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

I think what this shows is that most people aren't actually anti-vax, they're just extremely obstinate about being asked to do anything even slightly inconvenient when they don't see an immediate benefit for themselves
In Texas, said one doctor: “We’ve vaccinated multiple kids that have never been vaccinated before, some from families that didn’t believe in vaccines.”

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it.

There were a lot of hilarious signs at today's Philly protest (because Philly has A+ protest sign game), but this was my favorite from an "I want that as a tattoo" perspective.

"Please advise" being used as a catch all in email parlance really annoys me - does anyone know WHY it's a thing? It always sounds so off-putting to me, even when the person is being friendly.

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law

Did Trump just accidentally reveal the true death toll in Gaza? This deficit would indicate that Israel has slaughtered at least 500,000 Palestinians in this genocide.
In October, 99 American doctors and nurses who worked in Gaza said the number was "greater than 118,908."

It's the least surprising thing in the world that Elon just has a gaggle of groypers running around
NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

The right wing coalition
There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Everybody knows what a nazi salute looks like. You can’t pretend you don’t know. It’s evil iconography. It’s a racism classic. You can’t have any remaining self respect any pussyfoot around what we saw today. We know what we saw.
