Everyone doesn’t mean the same thing when they post a meme like this, but there is a steelmanable version: that Democratic and Republican presidents have historically acted equally brutally and lawlessly to people overseas, and that the main differences are in domestic rhetoric and policy.
she’s right
I hate this sort of meme.

“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”

Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message.

The event honours Rita Hester whose murder on Nov 28th '98 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” project and San Francisco vigil in '99. Rita’s murder (like most anti-trans murder cases) has yet to be solved

heres an example of politico covering the news while still covering for trump. the headline says trump is calling for a "trial" for dems. but what trump actually said is the dems should be offed. its very plain what he said. not saying so is a cover-up.

I don't think I hate anyone more than I hate the grotesque pipsqueak who vomits out the DHS social media posts.
this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices

This thread from Senator Wyden is fire.
Meanwhile, if you’re just a regular person with a bank account with a TINY BALANCE, paying rent and bills, and the bank merely SUSPECTS that there has been ANY sort of “adult activity” in connection with your account? CLOSED no more banking for you!

As I watch Dick Cheney’s funeral service, I am reminded once again of a view I’ve held for for years: Donald Trump is the best thing to ever happen to George Bush, Dick Cheney, James Buchanan, and Andrew Johnson.

So much "god is punishing you for being sick" subtext. Barely sub text.

Were I famous for hanging out with my creep friend in Russia who is either a rapist or really wants you to think he is (for the lols?) I would not chime in on any sex abuse stories.

It was a crazy busy in the bookshop today. I took almost four times what I'd expect to take on a normal Weds. I guess the ramp-up to Christmas has started, which is good news. Independent bookshops make around a third of their yearly income over the seasonal period, so remember to shop local!
