The only thing I'd like to see us borrow from the bad guys is the ability to say "Yeah I said that, and it was good" because the scary unearthed tweet is usually something like "The police shouldn't be allowed to kill you anytime they feel like it"

Why do leftists hold so much contempt for Liberals? It’s pretty simple: For example, Stephen Colbert lost his show for upsetting the current administration. Colbert did not have the courage to stand up for what was right when it didn’t seem to affect his life directly. He lost his show anyway.

Insane to live in a world where I get to cackle at this, then immediately get reminded by the next post that we're living through some religious fanatic end-of-time bullshit – and the kicker is that these two posts actually kind of have something to do with one another.

"For me, #Yesteryear fundamentally hit as a novel about patriarchy so violent it makes our mothers fail us. About the parentification of children, particularly girls, in a world that infantilizes women." READ: gaslightnation.substack.com/p/review-yesteryear-is-about-the-daughters #CaroClaireBurke
