JD Vance is particularly odious to me because we’re roughly the same age and from the same part of Ohio and I grew up with a hundred pasty, squishy faced white dudes like him & they’re all convinced they’re marginalized because you can’t smoke at Waffle House or say the n-word anymore

Something about that bright smell of oranges has always been incredibly soothing - so obviously they made their way into my pattern design work Winter and summer colour-way of this one

journalists that take a black car service to work don't want a fascist in power so much as they want to profit from the controversy engagement of a broken attention economy (also despite working in political media are somehow profoundly politically ignorant and don't think fascism will touch THEM)

Popping on to say: A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc. Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

For Project 2025, banning pornography means banning pornography, but also "omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology" and any broader acknowledgement of LGBTQ identity in schools newrepublic.com/article/1836...

The Real Targets of Project 2025’s War on Pornnewrepublic.com It’s not just about people watching porn. It’s drag queens, trans people, LGBTQ library books, and more.

"liberal" transphobia is dangerous because it creates a political consensus. no, it's not going to move a lot of median voters, but it creates a space for bipartisan anti-trans policies. i watched this happen in the uk.

it’s wild how much of the left’s anger on this site is devoted to the NYT. media criticism is good and healthy but anyone who really thinks a newspaper that’s read mostly by coastal elites is the main obstacle to progressive policy goals in america in the year 2024 is living in a bubble

So the question I think we need to be confronting these columnists, these editors with is simply this: Why do you want to kill trans children? Why would you rather see them buried under their dead names than living to be trans adults?

See, using gulags to torture political prisoners to death is not Josef Stalin's plan. The Council of People's Commissars, who describe him as the "embodiment" of their efforts, made a plan *for* Stalin. Stalin, however, has sought to publicly distance himself from the effort, as reported by Pravda.

the only thing i know for sure is that if you'd asked me a month ago if it's a good idea to replace your presumptive nominee a few weeks before the conventions while he's down 0-2 points in the polls, either for his vp or a 2nd rushed primary, i would've said no and that you're nuts for asking

Apparently bright red drawings of Monarchs are popular right now This was a drawing I did last year that I never really finished. I was intending to add more different colours but I lost interest #tarot #emperor #darkart #art #illustration #horror #drawing #イラスト

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."
