She/her. Very slow writer of alternate history sci-fi. Leftist, SJW, and, let's face it, terrible at parties.

Very telling and massively terrifying that they even feel comfortable advancing an argument like this.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.
Headline and lede from Time magazine (did not make the magazine cover) with a generic headshot of Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman that reads 

Minnesota Lawmaker Melissa Hortman Killed, FBI Hunt Suspect
Jun 15, 2025 — Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed by an individual impersonating a police officer.
--
Hortman was assassinated by a far right extremist along with her husband and dog. The man had a long list of Democrats he planned to kill, and was caught after shooting Minnesota Democrat John Hoffman and his wife Yvette who thankfully survivedHeadline from time with a photo of Charlie Kirk at the event where he was murdered, smiling and waving at the crowd. The preview time has shared indicates that this will be the cover story of the next magazine. 

The headline reads

The Killing of Charlie Kirk and the Political Violence Haunting America

I have carefully surrounded myself with leftists and liberals in a comfy little bubble and I think it's pretty telling that the first peep I heard about the Serious Jeans Discourse was from an anti-woker dipshit saying leftists were flipping out about it.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law
A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account. 

Text: “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes.
Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.”

There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say “ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”

If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).

This is a really important point. Democrats weren't constantly talking about trans issues in 2024, Republicans were. We keep falling for the narrative that the right is writing about the left instead of defending reality.

Again: there is no end to these attacks, there is no end to the political benefits the GOP will reap from them because Dems are too scared to fight back, and we will all suffer because of it. If Democrats care about winning, the smart move is to punch back and show some goddamn spine. /thread

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

I really do get the sense that a majority of gamers have just given up with regards to microtransactions in full price games after the push-back against NFTs, and it absolutely stinks, because this is always how previously egregious stuff gets normalized in gaming.

Fire underwriter. No one even knows what that means, but when their algorithm scans my work experience, I'm in the round file. I have applied to many writing jobs and only rarely get a response. When I do, it's just "You're an Underwriter, not a writer." Well, what if I don't want to be.
