If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.
An Indian woman in a black dress and head covering leans out of a train. She’s lifting her sunglasses in shock and has extensive bandages on her nose.

She’s also smoking and has black lipstick, it really is a whole look.

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

New whistleblower reports highlight horrific conditions at ICE facilities right here in Florida — in Miramar and Orlando — including black mold, overcrowding, and detainees sleeping on concrete floors or in chains. This is unacceptable. I'm demanding accountability and an end to these abuses.

I think an important framing here is “Celebrities, your bottom line is far more dependent on public sentiment than the less visible, wealthier billionaires attempting to pull your strings. “They own brands. You are your brand. “You’ll always be the fall guy.”

a pretty good way to gauge the conversation is whether people are talking about harm or risk harm is about what's happening now already risk is about what could maybe happen in the future and basically the whole ai cult scene is in agreement that possible risks are more important than current harm

Everyday I think about an old journalism professor who took a jab at the PR majors for being pay-to-play instead of beholden to the truth. It seemed wildly out of touch back then and has only gotten worse

“Don’t do that, it’s bad.” Boring, judgy, activates oppositional defiance disorder. “Go ahead a do it, it’ll destroy you and spare us your company.” Bold, ominous, activates my fear of disappointing a father figure.

lots of good stuff in here
The point is not simply that voters care about both affordability and corruption. It is that accountability gives an affordability agenda credibility. When voters believe the system is rigged, a promise to lower costs can sound like another campaign pledge that will never become reality. Showing voters that Democrats are willing to fight against the status quo answers the question lurking behind every campaign economic promise: why should voters believe this time will be different?

I’ve said America’s reliance on the aesthetics of Nazism to depict evil has left many with the idea it’s not really fascism til the uniforms come out. So by all means, please do this.
A Trump posted mock up of a US Space Uniform. It bears a striking resemblance to both Nazi uniforms and the Imperial Uniforms from Star Wars (which were made to resemble Nazi Uniforms).

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.

I feel like we DO have a good chance to flip control in the midterms. I’m also terrified that if things get “normal” without a big event, then a critical mass of people will shrug and assume the system is fine as is. A few surface reforms and then on with a steady march to destruction.

Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.
