Every paragraph is a banger. I’m so happy right now. Sometimes you find a piece of writing just when you need it.

If the “big tent” includes bigots, they’ll just push the non-bigots out of the tent. How have we not figured this out yet?

Fuck this turd.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

We run a monthly D&D live event at the bar. The demographics skew HEAVILY in the direction of “not cis straight white guys.” And those of us that are there understand that the TTRPG landscape is soooooo much better off for that fact.
Another one I see all the time in tabletop roleplaying. All demographic info we have right now points to about an even split between genders (with a not insignificant number of nonbinary players). Yet you still get dudes who say women don't play RPGs.
My dude...they don't play WITH YOU.

Downtown Los Angeles: avoid this guy
Young Republican/nazi chat apologist/accelerationist Anthony Cabassa will be at the DTLA No Kings Rally today. Avoid him + warn others- he may attempt to present as legitimate press or show up w/fellow agitators. He’ll be looking for any content he can frame as violent or make himself a victim.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

UPDATE ON BARBARA MARQUES: ICE is attempting to deport her tomorrow despite a federal court reopening her case. Deporting her now would be illegal under federal law but ICE is trying to do it anyway. Please flood these offices with calls to uphold the law and stop Barbara’s illegal deportation.
![BARBARA IS SCHEDULED TO BE ILLEGALLY DEPORTED TOMORROW!
WE MUST CALL LOUISIANA NOW!

"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I am calling about Barbara Marques, currently detained in Louisiana. A federal court has officially acknowledged a motion to reopen Barbara's case. This means she has legal protection from deportation until the judge rules. Deporting her now would be illegal under U.S. law. Despite this, ICE has scheduled her deportation for
1969
tomorrow and already moved her to the Alexandria staging facility. This action violates the law and must be stopped. I am demanding that you intervene immediately, contact ICE, and ensure Barbara is returned to the South Louisiana facility while her case is pending.
Please do your duty to uphold the law and stop this unlawful deportation."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wqv5vk4nvsxcfarrpi2xcqbc/bafkreidmpssx4dpn4sq7hawjqhwuwu5dm3vplbssm6hu6mdxiib4l6q6qy@jpeg)

Tucker and Barbara are friends of the bar and the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet. The treatment she has described is beyond inhumane. ICE are dehumanizing monsters.
Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

The response to Kirk’s death has neatly folded into the broader fascist purge of journalist, educators and artists.
For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
