A screenshot of a Libertarian Party of Maryland post on Facebook. The post reads "Consent can't be revoked retroactively. Hope this helps." Below the text is an editorial cartoon in muted watercolor style that mimics the 9/11 attacks. Two skyscrapers rise against a pale sky, one labeled Lindsay Clancy, smoking and damaged with a small figure falling from it, and the other labeled Women, still intact. A pink-cabbed box truck labeled Cornell 7 flies through billowing smoke toward the second tower.

I question whether you deserve to live in a society with the rest of us if you make this post after seeing a college kid take a hit to the head that sends him to the hospital. Online sports gambling is a fucking cancer.
A screenshot of a Facebook reel showing Desman Stephens' hit on Dante Moore last night. Bold overlay text reads: 'Might be the toughest lost in a long time.. This injury crushed over 4 tickets with this being the last leg..' Additional overlay text reads: 'College Sports need bet protect. not fair 😳👉'. Post by Maurice HeadHoncho Moore, caption: 'This dirty hit killed parlays literally.. the back up came in and threw 300 and won.. Moore had 77 yds early 1st quarter before the USC defender did this no called for hit while he was sliding... FanDuel for not honoring this bet or adding bet protect for college athletes.. these games are 10x better than the script -like NFL games😤'"

There's a Particular Type of Person who thinks that you completely control your own destiny in politics, if you fail it's your fault and you suck, and that they have a better way. The fact that their faction has not won its own permanent victory somehow does not undermine this idea for them.

First post: "like, you failed! we did things in the incrementalist, move to the center, lowest common denominator, Blue No Matter Who way that your faction insisted was the only thing that could work and you lost to Trump twice. you handed him a trifecta twice. we live in this hell because of your fuckups." Below it, a quote post: "the fact that this was impossible because Joe Manchin was a pro-lifer is explanatory. it is not exculpatory, and that is what a lot of liberals on this site don't seem to get."

Below, Parker Molloy continues in a second post: "I really worry that the 2026 elections are going to be what completely blackpills me on the Democratic party as a whole." A reply (username redacted) adds: "I've already come to the conclusion that some 60% of Democratic politicians aren't even worth voting for, because the very best they'll do is babble meaningless pablum about supporting us while handing out lucrative government contracts to Peter Thiel and Elon Musk."

Every single time there is a post like the quoted one there are people in the quotes/replies who absolutely cannot help themselves from saying things like "Jews are brainwashed into hate from birth." Not "Zionists." Not "some Jews." Just "Jews." Needless to say, this is rank anti-Semitism.
A quote-post by RN Mahli, @rafiamahli.com, reading "As the daughter of a Nakba survivor, Palestinians/Arabs have been straight up gaslight to fuck about this, and treated like it was us who hated Jews, when we weren't the ones doing the killing.

But I get that Jews are brainwashed into hate from birth: it's what's made Zionism an intractable problem."

The original post is by dr. rich traditions, JD, @helldude.bsky.social, reading "zionism in practice really does involve a fair amount of deep down not believing arabs/muslims are really human beings, or at least human beings who matter. thats a hard thing to admit for some people but it just is true. and a lot of times it's not even deep down".

Seems bad for the APA claim that this is admittedly at Trump's direction instead of, you know, the judgment of CMS.
A Truth Social post from Donald Trump reading: "Today, at my direction, Dr. Mehemet Oz announced that Medicaid will NO LONGER fund gender transition surgeries and hormones for minors. We are not going to pay for our innocent children to undergo these barbaric surgeries and practices, which result in unthinkable and irreversible harm to their young bodies. Thanks to our strong position and pressure on this issue over the past year and a half, dozens of U.S. hospitals have already ended this so-called "gender-affirming care," and we expect many more to follow. Just think about all of the young, innocent, and perhaps confused children who will be spared! While the Dumocrat Party wants your kids to be able to chop off their reproductive organs before they are old enough to vote, President Donald J. Trum (ME!) and the Republican Party say that is ABSURD, and we w protect America's children. Please remember this when you a casting your vote in the Midterm Elections in November. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
