when future democratic president olivia rodrigo gets around to the “erasing trump’s deeds for spite” portion of her presidency, she should fold the space force into the navy instead of the air force, so future space ranks use the correct form (admiral, commodore, yeoman) rather than 'general' etc.

Democrats have overperformed in races across the map this year.

We’ve got the wind at our back—and only two weeks left to continue that momentum for Mikie Sherrill, Abigail Spanberger, and so many more elections up and down the ballot.

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

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.

Watching our mad king don his AI slop crown and publicly fantasize about rage shitting on our moment of collective power is the perfect counterpoint: he's the one isolated in his impotent fury, clinging to the online simulacrum while we primally express and experience our very real strength.

Rebellions are built on hope. 🥹

Above: A collection of protest signs today that each reference Andor and/or Rogue One somehow, generally saying “We have friends everywhere”, but one of them saying “Oppression is the mask of fear.”

Below: Stellan Starsgård in character as Luthen Rael in “Andor.” He’s smiling and laughing, and the image is labeled [visible happiness]
