I’m willing to entertain the idea that she grew up a little and got wiser. Wouldn’t say I believe it, but it’s plausible. Time will tell. For now she’s not a friend but she is an ally.

Project 2025 states pretty clearly that their strat is to provoke violence from the left and capitalize on it to turn public opinion. And nonviolent movements succeed more often. I want the bastards dead as much as the next guy, but it’s probably not the winning move.

Fuck it, I can go there on the other claim. Trans care is suicide prevention. You really wanna keep trans kids in the closet, you better be ready to admit you want them to die there or you’re not being honest with yourself.

I think it’s important to keep in mind here that the overwhelming majority of late-term abortions are medical emergencies. Nobody gets six months in and says “Nah, let’s not”. The normal late-term abortion story is one of life-threatening medical problems and tragedy. Making it illegal just turns women who wanted to be mothers into corpses.

It is one of many viable avenues of resistance. You can also sabotage, disrupt, defund, harass, and scam the assholes.

These days, most of the voices saying they’ll leave a centrist presidential candidate hanging are fake. BlueSky got brigaded by fake posters with this message for about five days a little bit ago.

I voted for Jill Stein in 2016 and regret it. I don’t think I’m the only one. I think that next time around, we’ll have a stronger primary strategy and fewer walkouts if we fail.

The real battle is in the primaries.

The funding may be insane, but the boots are not having a good time. Doxxing and harassment seem to be working and the efforts must expand.

I have never, ever heard of someone calling for the deportation of Israelis. I think anyone who wants that was probably anti-semitic already and has taken the objectively horrific actions of the IDF as a reason to hate Jewish people in general.

I’ve been getting ludicrously short shelf life on some produce in the past year or so. Get a bag of carrots Thursday after work, there’s mold by Saturday. I don’t think that was common three years ago.

Eh, they took out every bit of democracy-breaking bullshit they possibly could without a majority as far as I know. They’re trying now. I’m holding out a little hope that it won’t make it through the house again, even.

Eh, if his losses in court weren’t relevant, he wouldn’t bother screeching about them. Not that hard at least. He does seem to like screeching for its own sake.

Do you think you provide housing? Here’s a list of common signs:

If someone stole all your tools, you’d kill them, and you don’t think that’s weird.

Unhealthy relationship with caffeine (bonus points for other substances too)

At least one fucked-up bone or joint

There’s some Liquid Nails or silicone caulk stuck in your favorite work shirt

Your hearing isn’t as good as it used to be

Regular porta-shitter use

If two or more of these fit your lifestyle, you may be a provider of housing.
