men only want one thing and it’s disgusting

Likely, but also time is not on his (our) side. Supply shocks are about to start manifesting in developed countries with no eta on strait opening. It's not like taco has significant effect on calming the markets anymore like it did on week 1.

Dr. Strangelove was a documentary

Strait of Hormuz is open in the first one!

Same energy

Land doesn't vote. People do.

I love the productivity boost from all these coding tools, but man I genuinely don’t know how to avoid StackOverflowification of my brain.

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.

It's not that the tactic is ineffective (it has historically worked), rather it's premature. They're trying to speedrun fascist authoritarian takeover in ~20 months, and are jumping to the next stage before the previous one is fully in place. Time crunch plus their incompetence are our blessing.

Do you happen to know if there are emergency protests happening in NYC today?

Always and forever fuck ice

Skateboarding videos pretty much

Yes, 1936-1938, the Yezhovshchina. My school was next to said garage.

fair point

I hope you’re right. But the toady on the right in this photo used to carry suitcases for a mayor for as long as it took him to get to real power. Vance imo is very Putin-like, in that he believes in nothing but acquiring power by any means necessary. Today it’s being a toady, tomorrow..?

Um, have you seen how Trump looks and acts lol?

You know it’s a New York protest when:

#handsoff #nyc

Long crowd of protesters at Hands Off protest in NYC stretched through 5th avenue

No end in sight in either direction at #handsoff #nyc today.

Absolutely fantastic work by organizers and volunteers at #handsoff New York protest. Top notch street and protest management. Thank you for your work!

It’s impossible to express how radicalized I’ve become against the Democrats in the past two months. Just an absolutely worthless political party that’s sold us out to literal fucking fascism.
