Well, I thought about the Army,
Dad said, “Son, you’re fuckin high,”
And I thought, “Yeah, there’s a first for everything,”
So I took my old man’s advice
I’m just gonna keep repeating this because it’s making me insane: Bernie won multiple Super Tuesday states whose delegates haven’t been awarded yet, they “found” a bunch of votes in Texas that never got counted, and they still haven’t finished counting the votes in California
It doesn’t feel great watching you people elect multiple members of the Ford family in between discovering more mass residential school gravesites either tbh
I love Illinois. We’re the heart of the midwest, and every day I wake up so proud to be your governor.
Through it all, it’s the people of Illinois who motivate me to do everything in my power to find ways to make their lives better.
Remembering when Hillary Clinton disappeared from public for like all of August 2016, only doing private megadonor fundraisers press weren’t allowed at (using noise machines to not be heard!), then reappeared at a 9/11 fundraiser where she promptly fell down & got shoved in a van
@therecount
“Oh okay” - thousands of Central Americans still having the same amount of violence inflicted on them thanks in large part to America’s actions
Hackman yelling “Will you just shut the fuck up and go over there and say ‘action’ or whatever it is you do?” at the Welcome to Mooseport director should have killed him right there on the spot, can't believe that guy survived that
And that’s just gonna be ignored by everyone just like the broken voting machines and closed down polling places and hours long waits (which in some places were still ongoing as results were being announced)
As opposed to ordering a single bagel as takeout (the literal example frozen dinners were given as an alternative to), which doesn’t help capitalism at all
And it will be treated as insane and conspiracy minded to bring this up and the distance between him & Biden will be treated as much greater than it is
A massive fucking field of candidates had to be obliterated to get it to the point where it could be neck and neck
This isn’t some optimism thing, I feel shitty as hell right now!, it’s just the simple truth
But they’re gonna spin it differently anyway so oh well!
@ByYourLogic
The “well tell Hamas to release the hostages then!” line is the thing that makes me most insane about this because so many people pushing that line have to have seen the videos of the families saying “everyone for everyone, ceasefire now” but they’re still pretending
And it’ll be ignored that they had to pressure multiple candidates to drop out and do a huge media push just to find ONE candidate, & clearly not the one they’d prefer it be, who could do better than Bernie by a margin much smaller than they’re pretending it is
I see a lot of you complaining about movies and yet when it’s time to spend minimum $120 on a single film’s theatrical run it’s crickets… I see how it is
@Srirachachau
An elderly woman who’d struggled a lot spent her final birthday with a friend who showed her cards and letters from people all over the world showing how much she was loved, feel like you have to work so hard to look past that
George Tiller was a tender and compassionate surgeon too and a lot of people have gone through unbearable pain because you people wouldn’t stand for that
Oh was she “too strident” for you? Do you “not want to have a beer with her”? Did she “very obviously fuck up every important decision that came her way” by “being an entitled moron who hired a bunch of incompetents” and now “we’re all fucked because of that”?
@buttpraxis
This was actually said by a khive guy because someone else dared to be mad at Kamala Harris for using his son’s story then going back on her promise to support Medicare For All
Brownie Mary, American marijuana activist known for baking and distributing pot brownies in AIDS wards in the early 1990s, dies in San Francisco. She was 76.

To threaten him with death because they despise his ethnoreligious background, the policies he supports, and the broad multiracial working class movement his candidacy represents
Between stuff like this and letting a computer program that had never been used before and that pretty much only Robby Mook could access tell them stuff like which states to campaign in, it’s so crazy that she lost!

She worked with the Gestapo in France.

I was just about to say pretty much the same, it mostly works for me on Buffy but that’s because of the very specific context of Buffy, it makes no sense when you take just that aspect out of the show and use it every time (plus it felt fresher & different 20-25 years ago)
@coopercooperco
I know actually reading a book is completely different but still I read the summary on Wikipedia once and after a certain point I just started laughing
@lib_crusher
The scale of what’s happening in Gaza is obviously much worse but man it’s awful to imagine someone you love being kidnapped and your government seemingly trying to get them killed several different ways
Feeling peaceful and calm that I’m supposed to put my hopes for reproductive autonomy in the hands of the party that came up with means testing using the bathroom
The D.C. Council has given initial approval to a bill from
@CMBrookePinto
that will let residents with certain conditions (inflammatory bowel diseases or pregnancy) use bathrooms in private businesses. A few details left to be ironed out, including creation of uniform ID.
@BrandyLJensen
@emilyslist
Remember when the head of EMILY’s List got so mad that the Women’s March had invited Bernie to be one of dozens of speakers at their conference then it turned out a year earlier she’d happily welcomed keynote speaker Bill Clinton to an event for her org
@ActNormalOrElse
Also have the courage to google “youth pride events” + “[whatever city you or the person you’re mad at lives in]” because your “but what about kids” argument might be rendered moot by the results
