It’s really disturbing how fast and how far we’ve slid back into blatant, public homophobia that’s not even couched in “religious freedom” terms in politics
JD Vance: "I love you too sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."

Precious freedom, alas, is at stake!
Dire jeopardy! Each day we wake
To more headlines that scare us,
As Trump seems to dare us
To dodge each malevolent #quake.

This clown is the Chair of the hard right, extremist House Freedom Caucus. Chip Roy (Texas) was a member and even he got kicked out by voters. Harris was supportive of the J6 Insurrectionists and continues to be a stain in Maryland politics.

The party politics don’t particularly matter to me
What does is the human impact
The ZiR motion/vote/policy hasn’t helped Palestinians, and I don’t believe it ever will
But it HAS made Jewish @greenparty.org.uk members who care deeply about Palestinian lives and freedom feel vulnerable and unsafe

This is extremely reasonable and well-put. It clearly comes from a place of principle but is also strategic. The kind of argument that could have, had Polanski made it, meaningfully shifted the vote on the Zionism is Racism motion. But Zack doesn’t have the range.

Water - contrasts and change. Safety, freedom, but also danger.
The Granite Ballroom - elegance, extravagance, but also politics, tensions, fate.
The fortress of Zaamhein - power, control, order, oppression.

War is politics by other means,
which is to say from the jump the US was in a highly contentious struggle between being a "freedom loving Republic" and a system that relied on dehumanizing, torturing and literally owning other people
that broke into war in 1861 but the struggle didn't end in 1865

I was at a play this weekend, and, halfway through, a realization hit me:
"What if the Civil War never ended and is still ongoing?"
No no, I said to myself, that's not a serious opinion, I'm better off not sharing it with anyone.
But how else can one explain whatever this is?

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

If he wanted to give the Medal of Freedom to a legendary Texas fireballer with conservative politics, Nolan Ryan is right there, but nah he chose the famous steroid cheater who dated a high school freshman instead. It's interesting! bsky.app/profile/tims...
Serious question- how many people has he given the presidential medal of freedom to that aren’t just horrible humans?

Just moments after Harris invoked his freedom to speak publicly, he told the student journalist — falsely — that under Maryland’s two-party consent law she was not allowed to record him and that he would not answer her questions.

He's 100% correct. The only way to stop this is for them to lose by such a massive landslide that there can be no guesswork as to who was victorious. Only then can we ensure the survival of our freedom.
