Here it is folks, how you, too, can use the em dash in your writing! This is the macOS version, but there’s a Windows & Linux version too. I’ve been happily using em- & en-dashes in my writing for decades b/c THAT’S PROPER FUCKING GRAMMAR. See also: apostrophes & quotes. These ain’t it: " ' 🤮

Really tired of people asking why the New York Times supports rightwing narratives, as though it were a one-off. The Times is a rag. Regardless of any previous reputation. Either its owners are rightwing, or they fear rightwingers, or they want a piece of the lucrative rightwing media market.

It's so weird how everyone who says they're "politically homeless" is a far right winger who lives in NY or CA and still wants to get invited to parties

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A socialist should be in every Democratic primary next year, because we need people who will actually tax the rich in Congress. I’m choosing to view this new law as the mirror image of what comes when the GOP is out of power: massive taxes on the wealthy.

The KKK of the 1920s is probably the most American organization to have ever existed; a for-profit fraternal organization, a multi-level marketing scheme founded by a defrocked minister to piggyback off of a popular movie, eventually torn apart by internecine infighting and a national sex scandal.

Ok I’ve had over a dozen fundraiser texts, but this one is the worst. Pete is not running for anything. He is fundraising for his PAC. He is not doing anything until he inevitably runs in 2028, except be a media pundit. Maybe some of that can be charged to his PAC, idk. Make him go awayyyy 😒

Screenshot of the end of Pete’s spam text:

Anything you can give before tonight gets us that much closer to hitting this goal:

Biden inherited a burning house, made maybe 33% of a really excellent renovation plan, never put out the fire, and now the fire is burning down the house, renovations and all. He had one job, really, which was putting out the fire. He never really even tried. Who cares now about the renovations?

Progressive issues poll well in isolation, but the people in power don’t want them because they like their money and power. But when you actually run someone who is both competent and in favor of progressive policies, the people turn out. Shock!

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?
