I guess someone who's a Charlie Kirk stan like my high school friend doesn't get that for your average Black person she might as well be in the KKK, & how is somebody Black other than Kanye supposed to be friends with somebody in the KKK?

Multiple kids were shot and one was killed.

The goose meme saying “WHAT KINDOF "WORKING CLASS" VOTERS? WHAT KIND, MOTHERFUCKER?”
You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...
This bill isn’t magic or even sufficient on its own, but reflects what serving your constituents actually looks like. Frankly a breath of fresh air in this fascist hellscape.
Remember that time the FBI lived up MLK's ass until he was Randomly Assassinated, all while the U.S. Government committed war crimes?
We look back in time and see clearly one great monster of greed and white supremacy wearing many faces. No distractions, all horrors.
This is the same beast.

"Imagine a nursing home in the free world full of [elderly people] with black eyes, broken limbs, no shoes, no teeth, isolating themselves because they haven't been able to shower in years and don't want to subject anyone else to their smell. ... Imagine how much worse the situation could get."
After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

There is absolutely ZERO reason for the Republican Party to exist. They have literally done NOTHING positive for America for the past 100+ years.
Yet, still, somehow, lameass morons go to the voting booth and pull the lever to eff themselves and America. EVERY TIME
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

Private schools should not exist.
When Kasubienski’s son started watching Fuentes in 2017, he remembers feeling like the streamer was a kindred spirit. Living in Ohio on full-time disability, Ryan, now 36, spent so many hours at home immersed in the streamer’s show that he said he began thinking of Fuentes as a little brother. Where Ryan felt nervous, Fuentes seemed self-assured, and over time he began to believe the streamer was one of the only people being honest about the changes in the United States that everyone pretended they didn’t see.
Two things Nazis love, historically: 1. Poles 2. People with disabilities
The heart of Fuentes’s message was that young men in the United States have gotten a rotten deal. In his telling, a nation of entitled baby boomers, like those leading the Republican Party, had poisoned American society with bad jobs, unbearable women and a racially diverse population intent on depriving White people of what they’re owed
Maybe the Republican Party can’t deal with its Nick Fuentes problem because this message is more or less the same as theirs so the criticism comes off as disingenuous www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
I think cruelty has receded as an evolutionary trait, but cruelty and complicity in cruelty was, and still very much is real. There's just too much bloodshed, aggression and sadism for me to not acknowledge that humans like those things. I think we're lucky our social strategy is more successful.
No one's asking you to put yourself through hardship for mutual aid. No one's asking you to put the house up for sale or take food from your own mouth. No one's taking all your savings. If you can spare some, & with that attitude you can because it's what helped you get all that, just share.
Used in a sentence: (part 1)
“The incontinent kingling doth mistake loud noise for power, vaunting bluster for strength, and the fawning praises of obsequious fools, their noses as feculent as their flattery, for respect; yet is he but a rank lech and perfidious liar, ...
A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Kingling.” Below, the word is defined as “a little king; a weak, petty, or insignificant potentate.” To the right, a detailed black-and-white illustration shows a smug, short man in royal robes and holding a large crown over his own head that he is about to place upon his own head. A taller man stands behind the little king, holding a large money bag marked with a dollar sign, suggesting bribery or corruption. Beneath the definition is a long, satirical example sentence criticizing the “kingling” as boastful, corrupt, and morally depraved.
Kingling [KING-ling]
(n.)
- A little king; a weak, petty, or insignificant potentate.

HOW BLACK WOMEN HAVE BEEN ESSENTIAL TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY (AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM)
To survive right-wing authoritarianism, Americans would be wise to learn from Black women who have always had to strategize, organize, & instigate from the margins.

They refuse to believe that the people that they sat down to a holiday dinner later that month are racist and misogynistic.
I’m losing my patience to deal with whatever mass psychosis convinced a good portion of this app that the 2024 election was stolen.
I’m sorry that we lost. I really am. I wish we hadn’t.
But we did, and it’s time to accept it.
Reading matters
Why does fiction matter?
Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people.
A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives.

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did.

Socialists like to spend money — lots of other people’s money, of course — and Mamdani has been hampered by the fiscal stewards of Albany who, thankfully for New York City, aren’t likely to allow his more egregious schemes that would only drive away more of the city’s crucial affluent class. A hundred days in, most savvy New Yorkers are surmising there will be a useful detente.

"[I]t's impossible to ignore that [Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.] is pushing for Black children to be separated from their families ... because they've been prescribed depression or ADHD meds."
What’s interesting here is they say “culture” when they mean “people” but they think that this maintains a veneer of deniability about what they’re really saying. In any case it’s true that the “culture” of the tech billionaires is morally and intellectually depraved rot bsky.app/profile/elio...
