Finished reading my two year old’s bedtime stories, I’m sitting with him until he falls asleep, and he’s just softly beatboxing at me.
It’s not hard to be but he’s probably better at it than I am already
Actually let me rephrase: this is cowardly. Done giving you my POSITIVE attention.
This shit pissed me the fuck off, so I might have some negative attention to spare in making sure others know about your cowardly fascist boot licking and false equivalencies
This is cowardly. Done giving you my business or attention.
Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people.
The "peace president."
illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president
It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.
Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Sound familiar?
Abolish ICE.
It's common to hear that, if Dems are to win against the right, they need to shift their rhetoric regarding social policies towards the right. This is conventional wisdom for many. But I'll let you in on a little secret: There's actually quite a lot of data about whether this works, and it doesn't.

just a reminder that the dem who ran this campaign unseated a 3x gop incumbent who had never won by less than double digits
Just picked up this masterpiece, an amazing adaptation of @tamorapierce.bsky.social ‘s work by @definitelyvita.bsky.social and @sambeckdraws.bsky.social . The original novel versions of these books were super formative to my youth. I hope we get adaptations of the rest of the series soon!
🧵2/2 There are absolutely leftist and progressive ideas that are popular among broad swathes of the population, but our actual ideologies are not that popular, so we don’t have the numbers if we’re not including people that you would like to dismiss as “just liberals, not leftists”
Okay, you’re a fellow leftist who wants people to understand that we can’t defeat fascism through electoral politics alone? Great, I’m with you, but now I need you to understand that we’re also not going to defeat fascism with only the involvement of people who are Left enough for you.

I’m so fucking tired of feeling this way. I have ocd and anxiety, it gets bad about things like infectious diseases. I’m not currently treated for it, and the anxiety brought on by the threat of Covid, bird flu, measles, rsv etc is kicking my ass. Like I feel physically exhausted from anxiety.
I will keep repeating it. Elon Musk is the most dangerous man in the United States. He is a clear and present danger to every American citizen. What he's doing will make you sicker, more exposed to extreme weather, and more likely to die.
He is a dire threat to your life.
This is what House Republicans voted for tonight.
Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.
when far right trash say the salutes by Elon and Bannon etc aren’t Nazi salutes/not a big deal, stop telling them “well you do it then.” Don’t tell Nazis to do Nazi stuff unless you’re there and ready to provide a consequence. all you’re doing is showing them “see, you can get away with it too”
“I see a state turning to faith, faith turning to hate, hate turning to votes, votes turning to notes.” - Bloodywood, in the song Gaddaar, talking about how politicians use religion, and the division it creates, for their profit
Late Valentine’s Day celebration with my handsome husband ❤️
Mine has been Elon Musk for over a decade at this point, the problem is that it’s not at all petty at this point if it ever was
This image is a screenshot of a new York times headline from an opinion piece titled "Trump Might Have a Case on Birthright Citizenship," published on February 15, 2025. The section is labeled "OPINION" and "GUEST Essay."
No, he doesn't. Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman should be disbarred and removed from their positions for even saying this. There should be no mercy for people articulating this made up bullshit in the legal profession. They are enablers of fascism no different than the lawyers of the Nazi regime.

🧵2/2 then I grew up and learned that Stockholm Syndrome is just made up by authorities to discredit criticisms from hostages about their handling of a hostage crisis. I appreciate my parents for being straight up with me even if it was a little jarring at a young age lol
random memory that sticks out in my childhood is watching The Gods Must be Crazy with my parents, the part where rebels take kids hostage and the authorities back down rather than endanger them, and my parents told me that in reality authorities don’t usually care about the lives of hostages. 🧵1/2
