as conservatives, the party of selfish shitheads, they were indeed shitheads, often racist to boot. but the GOP used to have some taboos. "I love Hitler" would have been FAR over the line even for Dixiecrats bsky.app/profile/bill...

There is a double game at play tho among the people saying what marcotte is.

Its true not "every" Republican was like this but what's also true is.... A whole lot of them have been!

They were in the reagan and GWB coalition too.

The "not everyone" crowd needs to accept that "a lot" of them were

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

Miss Major has passed away. We've lost an icon for the ages. Rest in power.

Miss Major with long wavy gray hair sits outdoors in a chair, wearing a brightly colored geometric-patterned dress. She looks thoughtful and serene, with her hands resting in her lap. Trees and plants surround her in the background, giving the scene a peaceful setting. The image appears as a social media post with text and engagement icons below.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

(unless it is like, the ONLY contemporary evidence that survives. even so, you have to humble yourself about that and not take it as an excuse to tell everyone they're wrong and you're right.)

Oh no, they seem to be relying on ONE article as a source. OH NO

If you learn anything from me, never climb a hill you're gonna die on (esp. a historical one) based on ONE article.

LOL, I'm watching someone so big mad because they want their "I'm **technically** right, the best kind of right!!" to matter more than contextual accuracy, as well as taking one technicality & extrapolating it into some wild conjecture and communicating it all poorly, taking zero responsibility oc 🥹

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Just because we've experienced a huge democratization in education & the ability to access research doesn't mean everyone knows HOW to use these resources in an *authoritative* way, or even wants to use them as anything but throw-away clout fodder. It's important to beware & support the real ones 💜

Okay, seems to be over 🤞 That was weird.

It's a situation of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." They find something contradictory & just run with it, hoping to get that sweet, viral serotonin spike. Many times it's a matter of generalizing a specific instance or story without looking at the bigger picture or doing further research.

Ugh, just posted and it shows up, but when I click on it it says Post not found" and it's in the replies not posts? uggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh
roricomics.bsky.social
There's a huge need for debunking right now, as lies & misinfo spread faster than ever; that's lead to this kinda weird subcategory of the "debunk clout chaser," which is NOT needed, as they'll jump the gun on trying to get a viral post before doing due diligence, which only worsens the problem.

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.

Now, more than ever, it's important to understand why so many the myths we tell ourselves about immigration are actually very harmful.

First of all, your great-great-grandparents names *were not changed* at Ellis Island. No one there had the authority to do that.

you cannot "abuse" your rights.

civil rights either are protected and real or they are not.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.
Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street. 

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore. 

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new 
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.
