Diet culture and bodyshaming have roots in the social circle of child molesters from the 80s. They get upset because their sex objects become less child-shaped over time.

you don't get the benefit of the doubt on quote-posting a Nazi account when you had a totenkopf tattoo

this guy is bad, actually

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

He did it for the Path of Exile 2 beta as well. Being a fake gamer is the iceberg tip of his life of deceit and entitlement.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Seems to be accurate now.
Don't forget that you have many alternatives!

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

This is an impeachable statement. It should be a career-ending scandal to avoid a question, especially one of grave import and consequence, by claiming ignorance about the most basic fundamental aspect of your job.

"I am 5 years old"

Shut it all down. All of it. ICE, DHS, Border Patrol, the entire Republican Party, all the fascist billionaires, X, Tesla, Avelo, and every Democrat who supports them.

It's evil through and through.

This is where I'll remind everyone of @nogamesforgenocide.com and their general ask that, out of solidarity with BDS and Palestine, products under the Xbox and Microsoft gaming umbrellas not be covered by journalists or influencers nogamesforgenocide.com

Do you want me to vote for Democrats? They need to not be transphobes, enshrine queer rights, enshrine abortion access, nationalize healthcare, address climate change, and fight fascism meaningfully.

Every candidate that doesn’t do these things is a waste of time and I will not vote for them.

The first of two frames from Destroy All Monsters (1968). A man wearing a yellow rubber glove is holding a phone up to his ear. He is laughing while talking. There are some 1960's esque "futuristic" tech in the background. The caption reads, "I'm joking."

The second of two frames from Destroy All Monsters (1968). The same as before but now the man is no longer smiling or laughing, he has a very concerned look on his face. The caption reads, "Well, half joking. We're a bit concerned."

Destroy All Monsters (1968)

Voted for ICE funding

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

Federal prosecutors quit in protest over lack of investigation into ICE shooting Six lawyers from US attorney’s office in Minnesota quit along with four leaders of DoJ’s civil rights division

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

(HT @benjaminkabak.com)

I feel like this is extremely relevant again

Not “this was not self-defense” but “this was murder”

Not “she didn’t run the ICE agent over” but “she was murdered while trying to drive away”

"We know what people want, and what they want is a machine to do all the things in life they might actually enjoy so they have more time to work."
