Only if you’re not a fucking weirdo.

Don’t denigrate bitches like that. He’s a fuckin cunt.

You’ve never left the house and thought to yourself “man I wish I brought water?”

Baby, I’m an anarchist. And you’re a spineless liberal.

We marched together for the 8-hour day and held hands on the streets of Seattle. But when it came time to throw bricks through that Starbucks window, you left me all alone! (All alone)

You watched in awe at the red white and blue on the Fourth of July. While those fireworks were exploding, I was BURNING THAT FUCKER AND STRINGING MY BLACK FLAG HIGH

Did you get the surprise that lem.ee went offline too?

They’re not miserable. They are fascists. Can’t wait for the crowdsourced Nuremberg/french revolution mashup (2027 remaster)

Well good thing the US tourism rates have fucking plummeted since we have a full blown SS throwing people in bottomless pits never to be seen or heard from again! THE US IS SAFE!

U!

S!

A!

U!

S!

A!

Or the court docs from the victim of he and Epstein when she was 14. Who then withdrew her lawsuit after she received a tidal wave of death threats

lol you’re thinking of the people who are now fully supporting the fascism. They were the ones literally threatening to kill me for being against the patriot act and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and George fucking bush. Those people will still tell you all of those things—in the same breath that they tell you the country is going down the drain because brown people exist.

Eh. I get what you’re saying, but so much of the disillusionment from the potential dem base is coming from their constant promises and constantly arriving at the obvious conclusion decades late and then acting like they’re the most progressive politician in human history. While in reality it’s a half step toward the policies we should’ve enacted forty years ago.

It’s not that people are like “so what.” It’s the deep seeded knowledge in all of us that the party will try to throw us crumbs and claim like they’ve always been on our side and are the most righteous policy makers that are saving us, when in reality they’re walking hand in hand with people that are pushing us to absolute limit of barely acceptable and then dangling what they’ve known they should’ve done forever ago in front of us when we’re finally at our breaking point.

They don’t care about us. They’re not beholden to us, and it shows. They’re beholden to money and are performatively throwing us scraps when they have an opponent so far right that it’s literally the threat of fascism. And they are very much responsible for the continued rightward march of the entire country.

lol the whole quote was a SLJ reference from one of his iconic lines, so you are right on the money

I think that says more about inflation than Skechers. Even cheap shoes are expensive now.

Or…all of most of the rest of the world outside the US. It’s the bubble calling the bubble kaleidoscopic…or something more clever than that

But that’s what the author is saying. The “post war liberal order” of the last 77 years had mostly been a success of coming together to say that there are lines that can’t be crossed.

Now, at this point in the order’s timeline, those lines are being left so far in the rear view that they’re not visible anymore, while the empires that came to take down the holocaust are now cracking down on the people pointing this out. And critically, as pointed out later in the article, are taking notes for future wars.

Factor in the right wing fascists rising to power all over the world who are flagrantly walking all over decency and inflicting violence/turning the systems on enemies without much of a peep…well, things for the future look to be heading down a seriously dangerous path.

This isn’t business as usual. That is what they’re saying. They point out that this “established order” and international law have always been vulnerable to powerful actors moving the goalposts to serve and protect their interests. But this much drastic change in just a few years, specifically centered around Gaza is a horrific force—coupled with every other factor throughout the world— that seems to be upending any hopes for a decent future.

The fuck is stomp and holla music

Woah…is “Rick” short for “Richard?” Did I just not know this? Or am I just forgetting that I knew it?? Or are you wrong??? I kinda need to know

Wait—I thought the VCs were actually saying that his comments were hateful…which they are.

I get your sentiment, and generally I agree, but in this case aren’t they right? This guy said something hateful and Islamosist (not a word but “Islamophobia” isn’t strong enough and actually, I think, proliferates hatred toward Islamic people) and the VCs actually came together to sign a letter saying it was wrong.

Am I misunderstanding this super weirdly formatted website?

Did you…read the article? They said the interview was done over the phone from inside the facility.

Like, in the third paragraph.

This is the most basic-ass tourist hotspot map of NYC…and they didn’t even go a few blocks up to hit Central Park? The fuck

But the judicial system famously doesn’t differentiate between people doing what they need to for good reasons and those doing it for bad reasons…
