I’ve said it before: if Andor is Baby’s First Anti-imperialist text, American History X is Baby’s First Antiracism, or the Barbie movie is Baby’s First Feminism, then great. Welcome aboard.

I don’t care what it takes for someone to realize the DNC only cares about $$$. Better things are possible.

This is what Trump has brought us. We live in an America with a secret police. We live in an America where brown people like myself have to carry papers in case. We live in a shithole.

“Vote Blue No Matter Who / Blue MAGA” should be treated the same way as “Never Trumpers”, though. As voters, they’re exactly who MLK and Kwamé Ture were describing in their respective essays about liberals: fascism won’t disrupt neolib lives or wallets.

If we can accept former Dem voters & other neoliberals onto the side of Leftists, then we should be able to accept former conservatives who were as equally ignorant as Dems when they were younger.

But it has to be genuine. None of this “Never Trumper” bullshit like we see with Conway or Schmidt.

I like Amanda, but I was listening to both high school dropouts and college kids talking about white replacement theory all the way back in 1990. At least the open racists in my high school kept their mouths shut in public.

Homophobia, on the other hand…

Did he miss Biden increasing federal police budgets by the same coincidental amount of money he slashed from the climate change budget?

Or that Biden asked states to use their unspent COVID relief funds on increasing their local police departments, because he

said COVID was over?

I promised George Floyd's family that he wouldn't just become another hashtag — and l intend to keep that promise.
We need justice. And we need real police reform to ensure this never occurs again.

If you're scared of what Trump will do (and you should be), you can thank Biden/Harris for increasing:

- military funding

- ICE/CBP funding and power

- police funding, hiring, and militarization before handing it all over to him.

A key moment was Vance succeeding in reinstating Marko Elez, a DOGEr who resigned after racists posts emerged including “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.”

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 8h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

it is genuinely fascinating how eagerly people buy Planter's story. He's an oyster farmer, working man! (Actually he owns the farm). He's a vet who saw the light! (Actually he loved it so much he signed up for mercenary shit too). Meanwhile Mamdani has a clearly leftist agenda but gets raked

I've seen much more criticism of Mamdani than Platner thus far. There are issues with both campaigns. And I believe Platner has much more chauvinism at his core people are willing to give grace on that I am not.

They’ve already killed people. They’re going kill more. How many have to be murdered before we rise up?

This is not speculation, doomscrolling, or bait. That is a potential future we may have to get used to, but we can’t even rally like France does.

Stop them before the massacres start.

That one hurt really bad, too. His personal politics made for such an insane dive from the 12 meter board in the last sections of the series, too.

I even used to have a complete collection of the phone books, but they (and much of my collection) were destroyed in a flood before I could sell them.
