Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"
This looks so bad I thought it had to be some sort of protest calling out recent bioessentialist nonsense, but it seems to be serious. Also, the QR code goes to www.uc.edu/about/admin-...
Still possible it's serious but in a 'malicious compliance' way?
i’m starting to think he wasn’t just joking like many people in the media claimed he was when he said that we wouldn’t have to “worry” about voting again if he won
Trump just declared himself King of America on the official White House Twitter account, and among the overwhelmingly negative responses, even some Trump voters are feeling a little uncomfortable
"It simply doesn’t track that ideas that helped Democrats win over three cycles can be blamed for their loss in the year they disavowed them."

This feels like it was cooked up in a lab to decimate the GOP so the fact that the Democrats will do nothing with it should make their true priorities clear to you
it’s so cool that we are at the whims of this reactionary force of groypers that don’t understand anything, lead by the dumbest guy ever seen in history
The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
Here's a 2017 article about the plan to use feminist and 'left-wing' language to 'split the letters'. I genuinely cannot tell you how enraging it's been to watch it be planned and executed to the letter, out in the open, and still see people falling for it.
A rose by any other name will smell as sweet. Silvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson were trans and nothing can change the meaning even as they scrub the words from the National Park Service website. The queer community will not be reduced to LGB. Reality cannot be scrubbed.
I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history.
it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are
Cybertruck owners deserve to be bullied. You spent $100k on a wankpanzer from a chud who posts Nazi shit all day every day. It's not like it's even a remotely functional vehicle where you could argue that you don't agree with Elon's politics but it fits your needs.

Reminds me so much of the 1987 Social Attitudes survey in the UK which found that 75% of Britons found being gay always or mostly morally wrong. That was also the result of a campaign of anti-gay rhetoric from the right. It was also horrific to live through. natcen.ac.uk/sites/defaul...
Incredibly depressing YouGov poll on the acceptance of trans people in the UK. Years of anti-trans campaigns have had a significant impact. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...
Yes of course we’re in a constitutional crisis…but it’s not new, this crisis we’re in now actually started the day Mitch McConnell denied Barack Obama his right to appoint a Supreme Court justice 🤷♂️
Every time I see another thing like this, I think of the line from Schindler's List, when Julian Scherner says "That's not just good old fashioned Jew hating talk. It's policy now."
It makes your skin crawl; and now we are watching a rerun on the news.
youtube just reminded me of one of the most bizarre videos i've ever seen, where a guy says "i can sense moles underground" and then shoves his hand into the dirt and pulls out a mole
1: I agree with the paper's premise that traditional economic measures can obfuscate economic discontent,
2: It is highly misleading for media to talk about how this paper proves that the economy was bad in 2024, without acknowledging that on the paper's own terms it was at its best in ages
Weirdest thing about this article is that even according to the author's expanded definition of unemployment it was at historic lows in 2024. On the eve of the pandemic it was 26%!
"we're in a constitutional crisis and the entire government has been handed to an unelected billionaire to break at his personal whim" is a true statement
and it also has not, yet, broken in a way that fucks with the day to day life of most people
Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”
Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!
the one upside of Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico is that it opens up room for a future president to replace the new name with the entire script for Bee Movie
![A screenshot of the US National Park Service's Stonewall National Monument Virtual Fence page detailing queer history after a hackjob of word removal. Before the copied text, I'm highlighting it now says "Sylvia began fighting for gay and rights" because these fucks are useless and cannot kill history, demanding we stumble over their failure to erase.
The description of Ms Rivera's iconic photo, laying back onto a coat in front of a fountain, now reads:
"Sylvia Rivera at age 18 in New York City, 1969
"Sylvia Rivera laying back and posing on the edge of a water fountain. At a young age Sylvia began fighting for gay and rights [sic] while also helping homeless young drag queens, like herself, gay youth, and trans people. She was a co-founded [six] of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (Star) with Marsha P. Johnson.
