Oh my goodness, what a funny pose! Could absolutely be our void, except for the froggy leg position. Adorable. Here’s ours doing his best “Aren’t I cute? Don’t want you to attempt a belly pat?” It’s more likely he’s enjoying the breeze from the fan.

You’ll never survive fascism if you isolate yourself into a tiny box because no one is able to pass your test of perfectionism. White people on the left who are only just now facing adversity you are doing it wrong!

This is good but also the fact that so many black people have been run off this site the immediate instinct is to believe that happened again is TELLING. Y’all preach inclusivity and coalition building but you don’t even come close to practicing what you preach. White echo chambers are bad actually!

Some seem to get mad at the wrong people on purpose. It means they don't have to actually fight against those with power. Punching down or laterally can feel like catharsis.

Friends, please remember that 18 U.S.C. § 879 makes it a federal crime to threaten to inflict bodily harm on a former president of the united states. Nothing you want to post right now is worth the criminal exposure.

If you want to block all the people who harassed Jamelle Bouie off the site at once, this list is handy. Hit subscribe, then block.

Weird Bouie reply guys

What the name says. Some accounts on the list are truly horrible all the time and some just made a muteworthy skeet one time. This list is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Jamelle Bouie or anyone other than myself.

Nonetheless, I am a fan of the political theater of politicians saying "you know what? This corrupt motherfucker took money from people who hate that you have rights, and then he took them away, and the reason we can't do anything about it is those people over there."

I *know* it's not going to work the first time. I know it may not work, ever--the GOP's weakened some aspects of Obamacare but still hasn't totally ditched it. But the act of trying makes people talk about it; that helps build support for the things you *can* accomplish.

Idk when the worlds most infamously narcissistic, self-promoting coward reacts to supposedly being shot by jumping up and celebrating for the cameras I think it’s predictable that people will think hmm that seemed a little odd and maybe not real.

Yeah, wow, can't at all imagine why people would be suspicious about the authenticity of an incident involving a known serial liar and carnival huckster who treats his campaign rallies like staged WWE events.

In September 1975, in completely unrelated incidents, two different women tried to kill President Ford. (One was a member of the Manson Family. The other was a freelancer.) Three years earlier, a rando shot at George Wallace, paralyzing him.

I also think that this move may actually finally shift the media’s obsessive focus on Biden Old to “reminding everyone what a crazy aspirant dictator bastard Donald Trump” is. It was working out for Trump to have way less media attention on him for a while, IMO.

Telling someone they’ve failed a purity test doesn’t move anything forward. It doesn’t solve anything. It doesn’t create justice. It doesn’t build coalitions. All it does is give the person passing out the judgment a momentary feeling of superiority.

I don't know how we fix the anti-Black bullshit on this site, but masses of us blocking the offenders would be a good start. I only know the one I screenshotted today. I'm happy to block more if you show me where to look.

making positive change in this excruciating world pretty much always involves lots of shitty compromises, the kind that keep people up at night forever. this is perhaps the #1 thing I’ve learned from history. it’s our job to get the fuck over this reality and keep fighting for better things.

So the "fact check" that Facebook is appending to certain posts about project 2025 is from a right-wing article that often has literally nothing to do with the assertions in the post, and has no appeal or review process. So that seems not so much a "fact check" as a weaponized disinformation vector
