I need some ideas for finger tats. Not much room to work with but I can't think of anything. Right arm is ocean themed, left arm is space themed, but any suggestions are welcome

These people have no coherent thoughts, they start at "democrats good" and try and work backwards from there

Why do you think its more reasonable to ask tens of millions of voters to support genocide instead of asking the ONE person running for office to simply not support genocide?

This article, on how Israel used drones to massacre children in Gaza while they were drinking tea, is more than 16 years old.

Curb Your Malthusiasm 2.0 @manucleardevice.bsky.social · 1d

read this quote from Parenti’s “Anti-Communist Impulse” and it’s basically the reason I feel like I’ve had a concussion since the Iraq war

To quote Senator Fulbright:
Man's capacity for decent behavior seems to vary directly with his perception of others as individual humans with human motive,
and feelings, whereas his capacity for
barbarous behavior seems to increase with his perception of an adversary in abstract terms. This is the only explanation I can think of for the fact that the very same good and decent citizens who would never fail to feed a hungry child or comfort a sick friend or drop a coin in the church collection basket can celebrate the number of Viet Cong killed in a particular week or battle, talk of "making a desert" of North Vietnam or of "bombing it back into the Stone Age" despite the fact that most, almost all, of the victims would be innocent peasants and workers, and can contemplate with equanimity, or even advocate, the use of nuclear weapons against the "hordes of Chinese coolies." I feel sure that this apparent insensitivity to the incineration of thousands of millions of our fellow human beings is not the result of feelings of savage inhumanity toward foreigners; it is the result of not thinking of them as humans at all but rather as the embodiment of doctrines that we consider evil.®

Reminder that there is a very practical reason why senile octogenarians in congress won’t retire, in addition to their tremendous vanity

I live 100ft away from a retired House rep in his 80s who I see at least monthly at our neighborhood social; he has said to me almost verbatim what Duncan said here. Older members are terrified of walking away from the 20-person 24/7 support network you can't even get in a high end nursing home.

I keep saying this but the reason members of congress want to stay in office until they die is they can't buy that kind of elder care anywhere else, even if they are rich

not to downplay the seriousness of this indictment but the federal government is claiming that kat abughazaleh, a labubu-sized woman, impeded the movement of an SUV

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

(correctly) pointing out how badly this misunderstands the Revolution misses the point. These people have no coherent ideology and aren't trying to; they digest any imagery involving a heroic individual doling out violence and imagine themselves doing it to whoever they insist deserves it.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Being against genocide is the lowest bar in the universe you ghoul, not "waiting for perfection". If every person you've scolded online voted for Kamala, Trump would still be president. If Kamala had backed a weapons embargo, SHE would be president. But you're mad at everyone except for her

Same people who call being against genocide a "purity test" and somehow still convince themselves they're the "good guys"
