A very specific niche grievance I have is getting yelled at by people many years for arguing that framing divorce as a societal failing instead of a hard-won human right was profoundly antithetical to liberalism.

hopefully stays that way

almost the entire republican Party openly expressed wanting to end no fault divorce. It might have even been in their party platform last year i know its on a bunch of state party platforms

@sethmoulton.bsky.social is a transphobic coward who lacks clarity of conviction & has pathetic political instincts. Massachusetts deserves better leadership than he can ever provide.

Police departments performing support for massive protests (posting pics of officers participating, praising cooperation, etc.) is not new.

In 2020, cops doing kneeling photo-ops at daytime protests started gassing and beating the rest of us as soon as most of the liberals took their signs home.

I had a couple commissions fall through (no shade, times are tough!) so I've got to pass to plate around. My internet is getting turned off in a couple of days and I'm almost out of meds. Anything helps right now, especially sharing this post. Thank you!

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

You guys I think if we made a convincing website we could get MAGAs to send bags of their own shit to the White House to “donate ammunition for the president’s diarrhea jet”

“I will abolish ICE.”
“I will codify abortion rights.”
“I will divest from and sanction Israel.”
“I will tax the rich.”
“I will protect trans lives, Black lives, marginalized lives.”
“I will salt the ground in which fascist republicans and fascist-sympathizing democrats grew.”

See? Those work.

critical to remember that this energy doesn’t just automatically become Dem electoral enthusiasm. you still have to win people over. give them something to vote for more than just “I won’t be a king”

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

we maintain that there is a difference between protests, which must be organized quietly and require experienced leaders and locked in opsec, and rallies which should be family friendly and you can sign up to join

No Kings is a rally, not a protest

We very importantly need both to succeed

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 20h

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Sen. Ed Markey, a white man with white hair, standing at a lectern with a dark background, and Sen Elizabeth Warren to camera right, in a black top with a red blazer. Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights. We" The chiron underneath reads "No Kings Rally Underway In Boston"

Sometime around late September people began talking about it. It has only grown since then.

This month Blackout the System began to take hold.

A national call to boycott Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
