Also, if trolls are trying to pit different marginalized groups against each other on this platform, let’s work together to root those fuckers out. I have to believe that at the end of the day we all chose to use this app because we want better for ourselves and each other.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.
Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Good. But four *pivotal* years too late

Trump-Vance isn't designed to win over more voters, but ensure the next coup attempt proceeds more smoothly

Also I think we can dispense with the “he’s on vacation” because he’s posting pretty consistently on Threads now. Good work white posters, driving off two progressive Black columnists with national reach. You did it!

To everyone who said that those of us who are paying attention were wrong when we said the cannon was corrupt and was going to throw out the documents case. I hope you’re happy with yourselves. You literally bought a fascist lie. The judiciary has been captured by fascists.

Finally saw the local cybertruck. I live in a small ass town. No charging stations (I think the closest tesla charging station is an hour away). It’s uglier in person. Can confirm.

On Saturday a wholesome afternoon of fantasizing about concentration camps and plotting to overturn the coming election was disrupted by violence

Someone giving a literal keynote critiquing the history of eugenics, while unmasked, at a conference with no precautions. I wish it were a joke.

Same as the capitalists in the 20’s and 30’s (even in the usa ::cough cough:: henry ford)

I agree that Trump will ratchet up the violent rhetoric and that it’s hard to know which way it would swing. There’s real danger of someone acting on it and that’s the key concern. But just politically I don’t see a gain. Doesn’t draw new voters outside cult, might well drive away swing voters.
Trump is going to respond to this by becoming even more unhinged. He will call for violence, openly, gleefully. What we don't know: how the majority of Americans will react to the frontrunner for president demanding the murder of his opponents. I fear it's not going to be how we'd prefer, though.

Political violence always benefits authoritarians because liberals will always condemn it and authoritarians, regardless of whether they are perpetrators or victims, will always use it to claim more power.

Plans to ban legal weed and porn might be the sort of thing that gets some less engaged voters and “lol nothing matters” voters to care.
Project 2025 would include banning legal weed, right? We should talk about that one a *lot*

Yelling at a Black man to personally solve systemic problems is like those impossible fairytale tests—pick every grain of barley from a field overnight, scale a mountain of glass, bring back a fruit from the tree of life. The objective isn’t accountability, it’s to maliciously humble, to humiliate.

Currently in a hospital (not for me, visiting a family member), and I am the only one in a mask. I have yet to see one person masked. In a hospital. 😷
