It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

The crisis isn’t refugees. It’s not that one person committed one tragic crime and killed one other person. The crisis isn’t that America’s 250-year old history of hosting immigrants turned out to be a mistake.
The crisis is that STEPHEN MILLER, a hateful little maggot, controls the government.

Immigrants are not a threat to us. White supremacy is. And if people need to flee so-called "third world countries," it's probably because we in the west made their home unsafe.
Fuck white supremacy, fuck colonialism, and fuck Donald Trump.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Today’s mission: Look up your local public library board and find out when they meet. Review the latest agendas and meeting minutes. The anti-library crowd counts on you being too tired or busy. That’s when they sneak in bad policy and remove books. Don’t let them.
