The real disappointment is that he had no serious opposition in 2025, and Atlanta reelected him with 85% of the vote.

This guy gets it.
YMD is the only one that makes logical sense, especially in our more digitized world, where it's the only method that allows you to sort files chronologically.
Is the Democratic Party as bad as the Republican Party? No, but they're not far behind. There is still a strong thread of neoliberalism that drives most of the Party, which does not actually support the working class, even though they claim to.
What happened to Kentucky?
I vibe with this. Also, look at how short and simple that ingredients list is!
What is this garbage?
This week's episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social is golden. Bravo for some great coverage.

The OA
We risk sustained subjugation and further injury when we try to delegitimize all forms of violence, because Power and its tools of violence do not abdicate to ideas alone.
Once again:
"Violence is not the answer" is some colonialist bullshit.
Motivations aside, this person is not a hero for anyone, but we also shouldn't jump to delegitimize one act of violence while also legitimizing others. (Cont.)
The problem is: those with power, and most guilty of using violence to subjugate others or maintain their power, are the ones that attempt to monopolize that legitimacy. (Cont.)
Whether it is our founding fathers in the 18th Century, John Brown in the 19th Century, or those of us now suffering the injury of our current system, violence is historically seen as a legitimate and oftentimes only effective path of redress. (Cont.)
Violence should be the last resort of handling disagreements. However, I believe that violence is a legitimate response to physical or systemic violence. It is an act of self-defense, & it is a perpetuation of systemic violence to say violence is not a legitimate response to systemic violence(Cont.)
Therefore, I do not support political violence or assassinations of people based on their ideas or identities. To support such violence welcomes violence upon us all. (Cont.)
I want to clarify my post from yesterday a bit. I believe in a pluralist society, and I believe that in order to keep outsiders and minorities safe, we must allow all forms of speech without reprisal, because you never know when you'll be on the outside. (Cont.)
They are not serious. It is a performative act to delegitimize acts of violence by those trying to end the violence perpetuated against them by the powerful.
"VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER"
IS SOME COLONIALIST BULLSHIT
(5/5)
There is a paradox of tolerance. We must be intolerant of intolerance, and denouncing violence against violent, intolerant fascists is in itself an act of violence that suppresses the truth of other acts of systemic violence deemed legitimate by the State and the mainstream media. (4/5)
Or do we only reserve the word revolution for protests led by the powerful for the powerful? (3/5)
Are revolutions not violent protests--revolutions to overthrow oppressive monarchies, like the one that established the system of government, system of capitalist oppression, and system of violence, in America, that so many people champion? (2/5)
To denounce violent protest is to side with the power-holders and their construction of what is deemed legitimate, denying the voice and validity of the oppressed and bereaved. How can we ask victims of active physical and systemic violence to remain nonviolent? (1/5)
Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time
When Charlie's chickens go home to roost.
It shocks me that people have their Venmo transactions set to display publicly. I do not get the social aspect. Why do people share this info? It's potentially dangerous. The only people that need to know about a financial transaction are the person that sent the money and the one receiving it.
Neither Bush nor US society has ever really reckoned with the consequences of his imperialist crusade.
You're supposed feel calm & solace at wkend farmers markets by reconnecting with local farmers, but all I want to do is run over cars driving down the middle of the road, taking up both directions & not moving over to let you by & all the self-absorbed ppl walking arm in arm like it's Red Rover.
