Weirdly anxious I don't know everything happening everywhere all the time. Leader of a gang of ducks. The winning platform is anti-corruption, good governance, & expansion of participation in our democracy.

Isn't it weird how all the people who pushed "move fast and break things" ended up lost souls who've left a trail of human and institutional destruction in their wake that far dwarfs any positive effects they've had on anything, ever? So weird!

Either you believe it and I think you're a shitty person, or you don't believe it and are chasing shitty people's votes, in which case, I can't trust you. Not a dime. Really fucking mad about this.

If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

Everyone imagines there's someone in charge who's fucking up when the problem is no one's in charge & everyone is independently fucking up & refusing to budge in response to reason or events because their consultants sold them a story & acknowledging it's bullshit means they're a useless sunk cost.

The rights most under assault right now are those of children. To be themselves, to exist free of harassment & exploitation, to be educated free of propaganda, to be cared for, to inherit a better world. Who's actually sticking up for children other than Ms. Rachel??

Freedom of association is as fundamental as any of the basic political freedoms we use to define a modern democracy. The idea that anyone, whether parents, grandparents, community members, faith leaders, etc have any claim over the lives of others is incompatible with a free society.

Shouldn't the Democrats have something like an Elon Donations Tracker posted on all of their websites and social media? Make this SALIENT? Might it make sense to point out repeatedly that he is a white supremacist and ask the public why he would be backing the GOP?

"Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" was really the beginning of the end. Complete context collapse creating an attitude that the best move at any time is hitting a button labeled 'CHANGE' the moment anything is wrong regardless of why or causes or ownership.

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

There are no grandparents' rights just like there are no parents' rights. There are parental *responsibilities* and if you fail to fulfill them your children are under no obligation to let it slide.

Think about it: none of this is partisan except for the fact that Republicans are, at their core, deeply corrupt; they oppose any change that threatens that; & they repeatedly do things to alienate, isolate, & infuriate people from the very concept of government let alone a collective community.

IMO there are only 3 acceptable methods: firing squad (a mechanically-fired shot to the heart or brainstem would be preferable); hanging (not a fan of the "neck might not break, head might rip off" uncertainty); & guillotine. Maybe some kind of hypoxia, but they haven't discovered it yet.

No one should be surprised Trump at his rally last night called on Iran to slaughter Americans saying, "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. " This is the same Trump who incited Jan 6 terrorist attack and then praised/pardoned the terrorists. He should be charged with TREASON!

It is a universal truth that any public figure that appears to be direct from central casting ready to play the sleazy politician that betrays the heroes at a crucial moment is exactly what they appear to be and under no circumstances can they be allowed anywhere near power.

Never forget, TWO of the most powerful Republicans since Reagan are confirmed child rapists. Many, many other Republicans are also pedophiles, rapists, & pedophilic rapists, of course. Pedocon "theory" is about as close to natural law as thermodynamics. But it's on record Hastert & Trump raped kids.

Parties which do not subscribe to the basic democratic bargain must be excluded from it. There is no other solution to this problem. There is an ongoing global far-right power grab, a literal vast rightwing conspiracy working to immiserate, impoverish, and enslave the rest of humanity.
