Particularly odd piece of Rep Golden’s latest news letter defending the SAVE Act. He says Maine already requires proof of citizenship to vote (true) — so why should we add another layer of bureaucracy to prove the same thing? It’s obviously easier to give your SSN than dust off your birth cert

It is the dog, and only the dog, that could get me to even remotely fathom that the Earth has any value to the cosmos

screenshot reads: 'The Anti-hero - An anti-hero is a protagonist who  lacks the traditional heroic attributes and qualities. Instead, this character is riddled with weaknesses and confusion. His lack of courage, honesty, or social grace reflects “modern man’s ambivalence toward traditional moral and social virtues.” Famous examples would include... • Scooby Doo' and pictured beside this is a very cheerful-looking illustration of Scooby Doo

A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines “sex” strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive order’s premise—that there are only two sexes—is biologically incorrect.

Three years ago, Judith Butler predicted in a Guardian interview that “gender-critical” feminists would not be part of the fight against fascism. This caused a massive “GC” backlash, prompting The Guardian to censor the interview. And yet here they now are, definitively proving Butler correct.

American liberalism summed up is that a certain amount of punishment and suffering is just the cost of doing business but when it comes for us…

"I have one message. We the Palestinians are the rightful owners of this land, we will not budge. Our resolve will not be dented. We sacrificed 50,000 lives & 110,000 wounded... we sacrificed our homes, schools, hospitals, and entire infrastructure. But we will not budge"

Ahh, a fresh round of “the Democrats cannot fail, they can only be failed” just broke out. Gotta find the nearest volcano and throw my phone in.

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. A total bloodbath. The referee would have stepped in by now but they had knocked him out with a steel chair. The only others watching were either fascists themselves or the people trying to fight fascism with the power of love and kindness and they weren’t having a great go of it either. I kept trying to explain in between haymakers that we were better than this and on top of that it wasn’t likely to be ruled on favorably as far as the courts. None of it helped. I was on my knees now bleeding profusely from the mouth and nose. It spilled out of me onto the snow in a pattern that if you sort of squinted at it just so from the right vantage looked like a heart. See that I pointed. Look how beautiful the world can be I tried to say through my broken teeth. Alright well now he was pulling out a gun. I didn’t think we were allowed do that.

How dare you judge an autistic man for openly endorsing an ultra right wing political party in Germany and telling them to let go of any lingering shame they have of the Holocaust and not allow Germanic blood to be diluted by multi-culturalism

I love to defend myself by using precision explosives to remove the brain matter from the skulls of children that I keep in a permanent open air prison while I settle their land
