Trump: "I'm bringing back free speech"

The free speech:

@dpflug

In 1999, my best friend was stabbed to death on her own doorstep a week before Christmas by a boyscout who had sold her popcorn in a fund raising drive, found out later she was trans, and decided to murder her about it. He pled not guilty due to "trans panic" and was acquitted.

I don't know you. But I know the horrors that are about to come. I lived through them. I survived them. I fought them. If you aren't willing to fight, if you don't have it in you, that's ok. You don't have to be on the front lines of every battle. Self care is important.

But get the fuck out of the way of people who are. Some of us know - by experience! - that the only way to deal with fascists is to give them no safe harbor.

@btanderson @paninid @hobs

@paninid no. Fuck them.

@hobs @paninid we have guns. They can't be trusted.

Don't say "Fuck Trump". Say "Fuck Nazis" and watch Trump's goons rush to his defense.

@dpflug

"Rejecting Nazis and shaming them is a good, moral thing to do and also works. But have you also tried not doing that?"

Medically fascinating.

@paninid @hobs

Treating Nazis as if they're normal human beings you can be friendly with and expecting them to abandon Naziism and join your political movement is, to put it mildly, as insane as it is stupid.

There are only two outcomes to such behavior:
- Normalization of Nazis, or
- More Nazis in your movement

Both of which are, for reasons I hope I don't have to explain, undesirable outcomes.

Turns out the G in MAGA stood for Great Depression all along.

America is currently occupied by a violent Nazi force. The sooner lefties realize that, the better.

I want to make one thing clear. I am COMMITTED to being mean to bad people in general, and to Nazis and Nazi sympathisers specifically. I am going to think mean thoughts, and say mean things toward Nazis and anyone else who supports Nazis. I am going to say things that I hope hurt their feelings.

And I mean them.

Not because I'm a bad person. But because the war effort requires the ridicule of JD Vance, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and any other Nazis that work to prop up their illegitimate and un-American regime.

I want them to be miserable. I want every single day that they remain in power to be the new worst day of their life.

I'm doing my part. Join me.

I just found out that apparently ICE trucks can't go anywhere with four fucking flat tires. Do with this information what you will.

How sad that we live in an age when this flag 🇺🇦 means a President that would lay down his his life for freedom and liberty, and this flag 🇺🇸 means the opposite

Fun historical fact: once you peacefully install a fascist, you cannot peacefully remove him.

The Onion is about a hair's breadth away from reporting actual news at this point. These people are beyond parody.

Bring back public shaming.

@GottaLaff I can't help but think this will have the opposite effect we need - we need veterans to stay pissed. Not too learn that actually yes, Trump will carve out exceptions for his supporters.

MAGA: I hope you liberals can see now that DEI was always the problem. And I know what you're going to say, no that doesn't make me racist, facts don't care abo–

LIBERAL: Oh definitely.

MAGA: wait what?

L: I agree with you. DEI is 100% the problem.

M: Explain...?

L: See, here we were, the majority, all ready to get behind our candidate and really do some wonderful things in this great nation, all united behind one single cause. But then, out of nowhere, diversity struck. MAGA, the Tea Party, christofascists, the KKK, even literal actual Nazis, all under the banner of "Republicans". I don't think we need all that Diversity. We're going to get rid of it.

M: wait what do you mean get rid of—

L: But how did all that diversity gain power, when the majority was against it, you ask? I'm glad you asked. The electoral college. This DEI policy has gone on too long. It allows a bunch of red states with tiny populations to think they deserve equity in terms of voting for president. Obviously that Equity needs to stop.

M: but that would mean Kamala—

L: And it gets even worse. Because not only do red state minorities think they get to have equal voting power for president, they also think they get to be included in the Senate! Imagine, a tiny red state that's mostly dirt like Wyoming or Montana thinking their ideas about the law are as important as a gigantic world economy like California. Clearly, we don't need Inclusion either. The majority left can just write your laws for you.

M: no I don't want—

L: I'm so glad we're finally on the same page! Finally, after all these years of divisive rhetoric, we can band together and work to rid ourselves of the scourge of the Republican party, the electoral college, and tiny red states in the Senate. DEI was ALWAYS the problem. Down with DEI! Down with DEI!

M: BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT DEI MEANS

L: well what did you think DEI meant?

M: I THOUGHT IT MEANT BLACK PEOPLE

L: There it is.

If anyone needs me I'll be watching a bunch of theatre dorks try to put on a production of Hamlet entirely within the game Grand Theft Auto V.

#GrandTheftHamlet

- Let's play a game
- Have a deck of standard playing cards.
- Remove everything 10 and lower.
- You have 16 cards in your deck now. The A, K, Q, and J times 4, for each suit.
- Pick one card at random.
- How likely is that card to be a diamond?
- If you said 1 in 4, gold star for you.
- No problem. That's statistically possible.
- Do it again
- And again
- And again
- Do it 100 more times.
- How likely is it that EVERY card you pick EVERY time is ALWAYS a diamond?
- (¼ × ¼ × ¼ × ¼) ... A hundred times.
- a 1 in 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance.
- Basically impossible.
- Let's say we make a rule that, if you draw a diamond 5 times in a row, the next card can't be a diamond.
- If it just "happens to be" another diamond, put it back, and draw a different one.
- Now shuffle the deck and draw another card.
- How likely is that card to be a diamond now, after our rule change?
- Still 1 in 4. Right.
- How likely is that card to be a 7 of clubs, after our rule change?
- Correct. Zero.
- That's DEI.
- DEI does NOT mean that a bunch of unqualified 2s and 7's and Jokers and tarot cards get added into the deck.
- It doesn't mean diamonds are bad and should be removed from the deck
- It doesn't even mean you HAVE to draw spades, hearts, or clubs.
- DEI means cards of any color get an equal chance at being drawn, as long as they're high enough value.
- You know... A meritocracy.
