"give us the tools faster and we'll finish the job faster." netanyahu might as well have blood dripping from his mouth.

every democrat who applauds for Netanyahu should be primaried
Jeeeeeeezus. Bibi just said that the "Gays for Gaza" might as well be wearing shirts that say "Chickens for KFC". And he got a standing fucking ovation. This is disgusting.

Not the most original thought but of course Elon wouldn't subscribe to Trump's cult of personality. He's very busy managing his own.

For anyone *seriously* saying this, no, Kamala Harris is not gonna pick Bernie as VP come on.

So the entire Eccentric Soul series, or the Analog Africa series. I'd probably get more mileage out of those than, say, everything by Coltrane or The Beatles I think.
For that desert island discography thing going around I noticed someone included a compilation series and that got me thinking that really I would rather have music from a bunch of more obscure artists or something than a bunch of music from a few artists I love and have already listened to a lot.

I love how people keep posting pics of Harris holding a record and changing it to some punk or indie darling's album cover as though there's anything in this world cooler than a Mingus album. (This post is way more about music than it is about politics ftr)

I also think that if many people are saying that you’re exhibiting TERF behavior you should not under any circumstances double down.

Since I do believe that struggle is interconnected I have come to the conclusion that comparing marginalizations is in general counterproductive and often self-destructive.

I would ask that cis people refrain from lecturing us and critically examine what actually happened here this week

I know there are legit reasons to not like Harris, but I do have to wonder if a Biden replacement (other than the obvious, the VP) would even be up for debate if the current VP were a white man. Any white man.

Every leftists I know: It should be Kamala today fuck it I don't like her but fuck it she can win against this old fascist bitch. Every democrat with power: 16 round tournament, 3 wild card play-ins, cumulative points against total, winner determined on November 10th.

One thing I think about a lot lately is how liberals who foreground “electability” over matters of policy or sentiment have been wrong about everything

My brain, full of garbage: I know Lyndon LaRouche is dead but I still think he could win this one with the right comms team

it would be cool if people listened to trans people on the topic of transness, much like how we all agree it is important to listen to x people on the topic of xness for Any Other X

If you want your soul to die a thousand deaths go take a look at the Politico live blog It's not the type of thing I normally look at, but I thought, what the heck. Feeling regret

Hey did I ever tell you all about that time I saw Lori Barbero in the restaurant I worked at and I asked her if she was Kat? So cool.
