When college kids publicly say "Israel's war on Gaza is bad" that is full-blown anti-Semitism that requires the federal government to crack down on all colleges.

When Young Republicans in their 20s and 30s privately praise Hitler and "joke" about the Holocaust, well, that's just freedom baby.

“Share the information”?! FFS it is illegal for the president to MURDER PEOPLE! Dems need to stand up for the actual rule of law.

I’ve been caught up on the fact that many of the “young republicans” featured are in their late 20s or mid 30s. One was a GC. Vance trying to dismiss the texts as juvenilia of college kids is misleading as hell.

And yet the Trump administration is killing higher education in the name of antisemitism. I guess they figure the Hitler-loving, Nazi kind isn't really a problem.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

"republican staffers are all literal nazis" is less of a groupchat thing and more of a posting on main thing at this point

To this dude, "we got the things that upset you off your screens" is tantamount to *saving the country*, because that's all his world is, these online culture-war disputes. And that's all his people want: to not have things they find disagreeable on their screens.

What would you say if you saw it in another country?

"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

"We're saving God" is not how deities work, to the best of my understanding.

If anybody has any interest in what pure blasphemy sounds like:

I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!

If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.

9. As a species, we have figured out war to an astonishing degree. We are still working on the ability to hold peace.

Real peace requires self-determination and justice. It requires trusting that differences do not make us enemies.

(It is my personal belief that the US government agrees with me that violence is self-replicating and have chosen to stoke violence on purpose; language to the contrary is posturing for the masses who don’t want a forever war.)

Traditionally that’s the trade off — the cop proves their authority and then expects people to respect it.

ICE refuses to give us proof but demands we respect them as if they had.

That’s not how this works

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

Democracy should protect us from being ruled by billionaires, but not if governments accommodate their every wish because our elections are so corrupted by money.
(But if you’ve ever wondered why they are so terrified of death, this is why. It’s the only force in the world they can overrule them.)

Few kings were truly secure on their thrones. They contended with the fear of rivals, enemies, uprisings. Billionaires, though, are far too comfortable in their power. Nothing but their own choices could possibly make them not billionaires, and even then, they’d still be wildly rich.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Join us on Saturday 10/18 for No Kings 2.0 12-2pm in Nanuet, NY. 🤗🚫👑

I’ve read this tweet from GOP Rep. Mike Lawler 20 times, and the only conclusion I can draw is that in his heart of hearts he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety, leaving tens of thousands of his constituents without healthcare.

Take note, #NY17 voters.

something's going on behind the scenes in MAGA world and you will not catch ME giving any of these assholes credit for being on the right side of history on even one thing until I understand exactly why they've decided there's more safety in going against Trump on some topic than siding with him

extremely curious whether EVERYONE backed off already from "those big mean Democrats closed down the government" or whether the National Archives just slipped through the cracks or whether they actually had someone in the driver's seat going "yeah no we won't be embarrassing ourselves like that"
