Three Track Mind

This infuriates me. This delusional dipshit will get treated like a living saint on the Right for the next decade. Then we’ll find out he’s abusive or watches child porn or whatever. The predictability of this bullshit is further proof of de-evolution.

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

"now is not the time for smug i told you so's" omg my bad!! when is a good time for you? how's your august looking

The nice thing about being a person who takes honesty seriously is that in trying to live a life where lying is unnecessary, you strive to become a better person in reaction to all the times you’ve had to face your failures head on.

Don’t make kids adjudicate fights amongst each other. Let them explain the disagreement, then explain what you see as a grown up. Be fair about it. This eventually teaches them how to have civil disagreements much better than leaving them to child logic. Also, this song. youtu.be/kYAkcL36aCE?...

Literally me after three vodka crans.

When did Arch Hall Jr. become a congressman?

america's reactionaries would love nothing more to nullify the reconstruction amendments and render them a dead letter of the constitution. this was as true in 1873 as it is today.

If you zoom out just a little it’s dead obvious how the 6 justices in black robes are fighting for the same cause as the guys in white robes 100 years ago and the guys in gray coats 160 years ago

Cuz I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other hand is also in my pocket. That same pocket. I have both of my hands in one single same pocket. I don’t know how to wear pants or what to do with my hands.

Fuck off, rapist.

Maine. Seriously. Andreaformaine.com. Sign up for one of my virtual town halls. I’m more than happy to prove why I’m the best person to take on Susan Collins.

This thread is a wealth of Catholic context. I wasn’t aware that right wing converts are that big a thing now. I’ve resisted returning to the church, but I might be willing to do it out of antifascist spite.

"I'm a full-grown adult and I don't understand why everyone is getting all bent out of shape about the President threatening to exterminate an entire country at 8:00 p.m.!"

In honor of a judge halting Trump's ballroom construction today:

I came to protest in South St. Louis County rather than the big one downtown and the honking hasn’t stopped by passing cars since I got here at 11:00. But I’ve only seen four MAGA tantrums. The crowd is on average older than the downtown crowds I’ve been among. America is PIIIIIIIISSSSSSSED.

To me Judaism is about a shared culture & religion that stresses that we were once oppressed, we remain a small minority, so no matter how assimilated or successful we may be: we must always fight for civil liberties & civil rights & the opportunity that comes from scholarship & community engagement

I can’t believe I have to explain this, but “The Jews” didn’t start this war, Netanyahu did. He’s no more a representative of Judaism than JD Vance and Steve Bannon are representative of Catholicism.

I've been an @warren.senate.gov fan since I read "The Two Income Trap" over a decade ago and started buying copies for friends and family. This is a betrayal of basic decency and won't be forgiven or forgotten without a public mea culpa. No Senate seat is worth white-washing the Nazi tattoo guy.

In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.

“It is critically fucking important that I get to remain sheltered and ignorant of the reality of workplace discrimination!” How whiny do you have to be to go this hard at corporate attempts at DEI? How pathetic do you have to be to decry workplace harassment training? Grow the fuck up, Chucky!

Is this an admission that when Noem and Trump name their enemies that they are deliberately increasing threats?

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

This might be a little galaxy-brained, but I'm starting to think those who want to eliminate autism are largely driven by the fact that autistic people have ZERO problem pointing out moral or ethical lapses in their peers, which is something amoral and unethical people HATE.

It was speculated. Now it’s confirmed. The most predictable criminal enablement possible.

Dick Cheney walked so Donald Trump could run this country into the ground.

Note that when Trump builds The Beast all the right-wing conspiracies about government tracking completely evaporate.

Also? What does it say about Platner that he woke up with a mysterious tattoo on his chest and didn’t even ONCE research what it meant over the next 17 years?

Let’s say Platner was drunk when he got the tattoo in 2007. So what? Was he drunk for the next 17 years as he saw it on his own chest in the bathroom mirror every morning? If I get drunk and get a Pikachu tattoo on my chest, I can’t be offended 17 years later when people assume I’m into Pokémon.

I would pay good money for a livestream of Crockett and AOC taking Trump’s cognitive test live. Read the questions out loud for all the world to hear how fucking ridiculously basic this shit is.

Anyone else notice MAGA clamoring for Jones to resign but not Platner? 🤔

Surely these are collaborations with MAGA trash, right? Right?!?

I like Senators who've never required a literal coverup for their Nazi past.

I have seen a lot of people downplaying the Platner stuff as "he wasn't even that appealing" or "he didn't even have a chance of winning" And I wish we wouldn't do that. I think that really undercuts the clear moral statement: Even if he was a guaranteed win, he should still be out. End of story.

Not only dumping shit on America, but also on the American flag. #OnBrand
