I am so frequently critical of the Authoritarian Right, but I admit, I am so proud of those who've said no, this we won't support! You have restored a small part of the faith I once had.

I would ask you to do the same with the Epstein information, as Mr. Kirk advocated for. It's time we know
“He says, ‘We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way,’” Cruz quoted FCC chairman Brendan Carr.

“That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going, ‘Nice bar you have here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it.’”
WA was the state to go left in the last election and we have no income tax

When the people who should be your community cancel you for standing up to someone for their histrionic attention-seeking behavior and contribution to making events unsafe, it's hard to stay loyal and support them.
It's hard to stay loyal to those who won't stay loyal to you.

What liberals are experiencing right now is complicity; and they are not capable.

So they imagine the fascism they’ve enjoyed and minimized their whole lives is the result of the uncouth man, not of decades of incrementalism ratcheting us into accepting evil as a given, lesser evil as the standard.
What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.
I disagree. Look at the actions of some of the most staunchly conservative coming out to denounce Trump's censorship overreach. That said, many can't rip off their blinders.

This is the most tortured metaphor I've ever created! Shout-out for all the labored, tormented literary devices!
Turns out most of the self-righteous Right are Wonderbread Fluffernutters: tasteless white squish on the outside, synthetic white glop on the inside, and a thin layer of appropriated and emptied Brownness
The #Right sprinting to embrace #fascism so to prevent #socialism is so on-brand. They want smaller #government & no Nanny-state…until they don't, because it hurts their #feelings. Meaning they finally feel the same pain they've been inflicting or ignoring.

Who else wants to place bets on how long it takes the #RadRight and #MAGA to start comparing #CharlieKirk's widow to #RosaParks or #HarrietTubman?

It's pretty easy to cancel your Disney+ subscription, and a coordinated, national day of cancellations would send a very clear message about our values as Americans.
Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.
We now have Karl Rove to thank for defending civil liberties from Presidential overreach coming from the far right. The infinite parallel universe theory has been proven!

a bit unclear on what we are and are not allowed to say right now according to the government
Grimly humorous, I suppose. The blind killing the blind, and it not having any effect on the outcome whatsoever.
And the oligarchs laugh on their thrones, and applaud your viciousness, and your blinders.

But remember this, whichever lemmings end up victorious in this hate-off isn't going to stop the foundational problem because the foundational problem doesn't come from ideology.
That anyone says otherwise is the most disgusting. To say that, you say you matter more than another. And there is nothing more vile or less morally virtuous than that.

And beyond that, you're all senseless lemmings tearing your beloved country apart.
For every hypocrite out there, left, right, and center.

Your fucking ideologies don't give you special privilege to hypocrisy. Melissa Hortman's assassination, along with the murder of her husband, was disgusting. Charlie Kirk's assassination was disgusting.
Once upon a time, I was a person
Or was it all a fairytale
Did I ever reason, or ache, or love
Did I ever exist, or was it all make-believe
