sort of funny to think about when you see Pete Hegseth or people like him posting FUCKING BADASS videos of moving tires or whatever. the physical characteristics of what makes people effective soldiers in the age of gunpowder don't really map onto our ape brain preconceptions.

In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community.

It's pure propaganda and gaslighting.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal article headline titled “The Growing Divide in the Rainbow Coalition.” The subheadline reads, “More gay people are speaking out against the gender ideology of trans and queer activists.” The article is categorized under “U.S.” and written by Pamela Paul, published on October 31, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. ET.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

This argument always kills me - "diversity is a weakness because some of us won't stop being narcissistic assholes who can't tolerate a world where people are allowed to be different than me." Idiots.

Mark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 2d

You can't make this up.

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.”

“Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

Creating a problem and then "solving" that problem is a classic authoritarian move. It's the same technique predatory abusers use to create trauma bonds with their victims. Stopping SNAP is a win-win scenario for Cheeto. If he's not stopped, it empowers him, if he's stopped, he plays the hero.

Norm Eisen @normeisen.bsky.social · 2d

Trump tried to starve Americans by cutting off SNAP to score political points

The courts stopped him

Millions of families will keep food on the table because the law — & decency — prevailed

I'm in Pakistan right now working on this for @food4thoughtafghan.bsky.social and I can tell you both that there's a massive humanitarian crisis here and that we're making a real difference and helping to save lives. But we need more support to protect those being targeted by the Taliban.

I learned today an Afghan man has been detained in Pakistan & will be deported unless the UNHCR & other orgs & agencies step in & stop it. The Taliban will execute him if he's sent back to Afghanistan.

It's why @food4thoughtafghan.bsky.social's work is vital. We're building safe houses for Afghans

I've often said it, but a major factor in what drives the MAGA movement is that they've created communities that are unwelcoming to young people — and then they get mad young people want to leave.

And the only "solution" they can think of is to trap them.

Misogyny is the biggest red flag when identifying a likely terrorist, mass murderer, fascist or other regressiveness. A man who hates women will always hate society and try to control or destroy it. They are defective and hold back our civilization and species.

Anyone who wants to argue needs to post an example of media in which a right winger makes a good-faith effort to listen to and understand the rest of us.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 4d

We've gotten so many of these pieces where a liberal engages in a good-faith effort to understand Trump voters. Every time, they discover that there's no deeper sympathetic reason they hold their views. They're just misinformed and hateful. My own efforts have found this too.

Lying POS
More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents. They've been kicked, dragged and detained for days.

42,755 out of 59,762—or 71.5% held in ICE detention have no criminal conviction. Many of those convicted committed only minor offenses, including traffic violations.
