Things I have seen used to identify people as gang members. 1. Budweiser hat.

TIL that the same arguments being used against trans women (bathrooms) were also used to defeat the ERA. Just more proof that trans women are real women. (And trans men are real men, but y'all don't talk about them as much for some reason).

Dems trying to get people to drop everything and protect the FBI are the reason why nobody takes them seriously. I don't approve of anything this administration is doing, but I'm not going to risk it all to protect the folks that have been harassing and investigating my friends for the last decade.

Been checking out BlueSky. I had forgotten how vile and vacuous liberals are.

The current state of Christianity in the US. Empathy is a sin and loving your neighbor is radical ideology.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I think he is reacting to all of the white supremacists who called him out for not being racist enough on the H1B visa issue. Essentially saying "c'mon guys, I'm one of you! Really! See? I can do racist shit too! I'm way more racist than you think!"

My workmate for the afternoon. #DogsOfMastodon

I'm so tired of these lilly livered liberals. "Killing someone can't be justified." You justify it all the fucking time. But when it's a wealthy white CEO then all of the sudden it can't be justified. Fuck, you've been spending the last fucking 14 months justifying the mass slaughter of children in Gaza. Do you even hear yourselves?

It's #GivingTuesday, otherwise known as the Nonprofit Hunger Games. May the odds ever be in your favor.

@McDermott @AnarchoNinaWrites

@AnarchoNinaWrites It's funny because that is similar to my own transition from left liberal to radical left anarchist. When the economy collapsed in 2008, a lot of my friends were asking me what caused it. I replied with some NYT opinion columnist pablum until I realized I simply didn't know. So I learned everything I could about what actually happened and my conclusion was that it was one of the greatest crimes ever committed and that those responsible not only didn't suffer consequences, but were richly rewarded.

Capitalism is the only real conspiracy.

@phaedral I think I misunderstood your comment. Sorry about that. Yeah, I agree. And their "accomplishments" aren't much to brag about.

Eventually Democrats are going to have to realize that they have to give people a reason to vote FOR them, not just AGAINST their opponents.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Since when are the Democrats non-fascist?

I'm begging y'all to stop hoping that elections are going to make things better.

So much time, energy, and money are put into elections. And for what? So that the Dems can run a fascist light campaign and tell us all to fuck off and get in line? And then blame us when they blow yet another layup election? Stop thinking they will change. Stop thinking that elections or politicians will save us.

We save us. Organize, but not for politics. Organize your house, your block, your neighborhood, your town. Meet their needs. Engage in mutual aid work, community defense, and direct action.

But don't fuck with politics. It's a fool's game. You'll always lose even when you win.

NC Lt. Governor and Gubernatorial candidate referred to himself as a "Black Nazi," a "perv," and said he liked trans porn in a porn chat room. #NCPol #USPol

I want you to ask yourself what the reaction would be if a Muslim member of Congress posted a tweet like this celebrating the death of an American citizen who was Jewish being murdered by Hamas and calling them a Jewish terrorist. If that would be unacceptable to you (and it should be), this should be unacceptable as well.

@tillshadeisgone Kind of unfair to shit ass, tbh.

This is the opposite of a hostile work environment. #CatsOfMastodon
