Thing about this movie is that in addition to being politically trenchant, it’s goddamn hilarious.

Just no tolerance for this shit anymore. Shut the fuck up already. What have you ever done that should grant you the right to respectful deference on this? Join the fucking military if you want to claim veterancy and be thanked for your service, rather than trying gatekeep mass politics.

rationalize inaction all you want, but sweating in an inflatable on a street corner to memeify a moment the cars driving past you likely don’t know the reference for is exactly that. and it’s compelling because you get to keep your hands clean. but that way is not how movement work works.

people of all different capacities want to join a movement against a violent, extremist state force. how to figure out what is effective, regardless of your capacity, is to measure how much effort it takes from you and how much effort it takes from your opposition.

Absolutely not, my husband will be there with me. Plus, I'm short but sturdy.

I'm not afraid of the relatively few tankies here, they're obnoxious but not violent, and Omaha Police are usually pretty chill.

The local 50501 group (the folks organizing the protest on Saturday) are virulent antisemetic tankies.

Yet I clearly have to go to the protest anyway and this annoys me so much.

Gonna drape myself in the flag and the Magen David

I am extremely anti-Bibi, his cabinet, etc. Anyone is justified in hating them.

But if your reaction to the ceasefire wasn't "Thank God, I hope it lasts," but anger? You're not an ally to anyone but your own racist brainwashing.

I know this is a serious accusation, so I don't levy it lightly but I think the worst among the antizionists preferred the active war because it allowed them to draw others their cause and justified their hatred of the only real refuge for Jews, which they want eliminated.

It's really weird that the people who were doing a "genocide" are nearly universally joyously celebrating the end of a horrific war and those who've spent the last 2 years saying "Ceasefire Now!" are angry and miserable.

Why aren't they happy the genocide has stopped?

This is fine but don't pretend if a mainstream Dem woman made this ad y'all wouldn't call it cringe af

AOC a couple of years ago could've gotten away with it, now I'm not so sure.

This take brought to you by the person who thinks Pokémon Go to the polls was inspired and had coconut tree merch

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!
No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"
We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

What's really dumb is they could've switched me to a different location doing my previous job - which I requested - and still paid me a pittance.

I might've told myself I was looking but I'm lazy. It took actively dreading the new job to light a fire under my ass.
