Screenshot of a tweet: “In Cobble Hill and there is a person curing their sausages outside their apartment, Spring truly is here in NYC, we are so back” The photo shows a bunch of sausages hanging from the wrought iron grate around a ground floor window. It’s like a vermin obstacle course, afaict

honestly, this was the median opinion among protestors at no kings, and it's hard to tell if that's getting through to the establishment

what if we got a 100% blockrate on it. what if they designed an AI and we unanimously said "nope"

When left to your own devices y’all come up with shit like “looksmaxxxing” and “mog-pilled” and whatnot.

There’s the very real sense that the democrats see the Republican Party from the 80’s as the “normal”, moderate position. You know, the one they’ve been taking up

Jesus, Watergate really was an "arrest Al Capone for tax fraud" situation, huh?

Time Magazine cover with Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan being all chummy with the headline "Why Obama Hearts Reagan"

Early 20th c political cartoon depicting suffragettes as dowdy middle-aged women
