R/conservative thread meltdown 🧵

Acknowledging the stark, ugly truth that the Republicans basically had no good reason to do what they have done for the last 11 years and have lapsed into vast collective psychosis over totally immaterial and utterly depraved delusions is terrifying, and as such most commentators simply do not do it

צה"ל ממשיך להרוס מבנים בכפרים בדרום לבנון בזמן הפסקת האש מפקדים בצבא אמרו ל"הארץ" כי בשבועות האחרונים הובאו לאזור עשרות כלים הנדסיים המופעלים בידי קבלנים אזרחים, שחלקם מתוגמלים לפי מספר המבנים שנהרסו. מקור המעורה בפרטים אמר כי חלק מהקבלנים פעלו גם בעזה

Even during the "ceasefire", the Israelis are still demolishing entire villages in southern Lebanon with armored bulldozers. In fact, civilian contractors hired by the army receive pay which is based on the number of buildings destroyed.

Schumer voted against blocking the sale of these bulldozers.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

It’s interesting how all of their gotcha techniques fall apart under scrutiny but they’ve somehow managed to avoid scrutiny for 50 years. Literally their argument is that killing is ok if you are in the IDF but not if you are fighting the IDF. Terrorism is when brown people fight back

Young Palestinian children are prevented from going to school after Israeli settlers - with the tacit approval of the Israeli state - blocked their path with a barbed-wire fence. Instead, they are forced to sit in the boiling heat to continue their education.

I loved this song, had a limewire version on my iPod back in the day and it had the part that plays siren noises and says “this is the bad boys 2 soundtrack” which used to always scare me for a second when I was driving.

I see me with her, no Stevie Wonder
She don't even wonder, 'cause she know she bad

Mr pope: whew that was close thanks for the support back there

If you are bouba then who is Kiki?

I’ve been getting regular depression screenings as part of a clinical trial and it’s 45 minutes of detailed questions about my mood and on a really GOOD week I’m like ok I only felt 5 out of 10 terrible! But like the word is imploding you want me to be NOT depressed rn??

I find it really quite disturbing how some people have increasingly migrated from "progressive except about Palestine" to "not progressive at all" as Israel's actions have become increasingly morally abhorrent and indefensible

*talking to teenage militant atheist self*

current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church

teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government

current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Trying to imagine the sheer number of old polish and Irish people in Chicago ready to join the war against the pope on the side of the pope. Like January 6th x 1000. Also once you get white Sox fans in the mix??

It’s a ravioli

It’s been so depressing on here watching people who are ostensibly smart in other areas try to justify their zionism. On twitter I’m like ok these people are proudly racist idiots and I can disregard. When it’s people who think they are woke liberals doing it it’s just sad and disheartening

I continue to think it’s wild that people treat the premise like it’s at all normal

Should the United States exist as a white state?

I’m telling you as a Black American Jew: It’s the same question

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

governor abbott took away our rainbow crosswalks but we replaced them with much more visible rainbow sidewalks, and some businesses have followed suit (one added rainbow exterior stairs)

RESULT: Democrats have flipped this school board seat in Tulsa.

They ousted the conservative board member I wrote about here, who suggested that immigrant children endanger other kids.

the way people have absolutely zero principles genuinely disturbs me. they believe nothing and will say anything that brings them their next paycheck. this is no way to live. it’s disgusting. i do not understand how this isn’t a bot and an actual real human being

These are voters in Texas. The losers at Third Way and The Bulwark have already lost. They can fix their hearts or get out of the Democratic Party

She worked in comms for fucking Ronald Reagan. The people who downplayed the AIDS crisis and caused millions of deaths due to their blatant homophobia. Seems like she’s still at it with her lgbtq bigotry and it’s so embarrassing anyone would listen to her opinion on “the morality” of anything.

See, @thebulwark.com doesn't have a problem with hateful people like @monacharen.bsky.social, so long as that hate is directed at people they don't like, such as trans people.

It's amazing that @monacharen.bsky.social wrote that we can't become "a little more hateful, a little more misogynistic, a little friendlier to America’s authoritarian antagonists, a little more vulgar, and a little dumber" while she's been a rabid, hateful anti-trans activist for a decade.

The deleterious effects of not having a hobby are becoming a defining point in this cultural moment—and who is poised to help? That’s right: the autistics. Job fair day where we all set up tables explaining our deep dives and give people a hand out, a path back to society.

Under his post someone claimed there was “not a leftist in sight” on the streets in Minneapolis and I just… how could you even know that? They think they can tell by looking? Who do they think has been setting up the organizing networks for years? How does that attitude help them or anyone

What everyone did in Minneapolis was very admirable, both left, center, and whoever else was out there. It just seems harmful to stereotype this way when there almost certainly was people across the spectrum of the left doing their best to prevent harm.

how could you possibly know that? Did you compare voting history with everyone you saw or are you generalizing? Bc without stereotyping of “people with jobs” = not leftist I don’t know how you could claim this? For example, the whistle network started in Chicago was very much leftist organizers
