Democratic leadership is willfully incompetent

Minnesota’s Autistic punk Sam Gamgee. The Force is with us. Always. Antifa is only controversial for fascists/allies of. Pinned comment thread has more.

Pronouns: he/him, though if you use they/them I wouldn’t argue
Heteroromantic, grey-ace
“Republican” party in quotes because those fascists don’t have republican principles
White supremacy is bullshit. Don’t follow me if you support it.
Opinions are my own.

There's something incredibly ghoulish about how the police will change this nomenclature long before they charge the actual reasons that lead to these killings.

[RLM Art Studio, find us on mas.to and bluesky @rlmartstudio]

"Use of force incident" is the new "officer involved shooting."

His name was Ricky Cobb. Killed by MN State Patrol this morning on I-94 in Minneapolis.

Build a safer community with no police.

@BidenTracking What's frustrating is that even with all of Musk's bullshit, most of the alternatives just don't have the reach of Twitter, and I don't know if they ever will.
This may still be the best platform.
I would say fight the good fight as long as possible here.

I will always say this:
We asexuals are not broken. We're not going through a phase. We're not playing hard to get. There's no one "asexual look." There's a lot more of us than you might think. We can look/dress however we want.
Deal with it.

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

Asexual people deserve equal rights. We deserve legal recognition. We deserve protection.

Thank you @stonewalluk for allowing me to march with you again at #PrideInLondon today & for helping me to bring about this change. 💜🖤

We always think that Republicans can be persuaded by debate and facts.

They cannot. Mock them or put down the stupid app.

[Democratic leadership is willfully incompetent @RM3995]

Set a reminder for this upcoming Space! We put on really good Spaces at AU, if I can pat us on the back a bit, but this is one I'm very excited for.
Allies, friends, family, and people who are questioning are very welcome, too!

If you're wondering how so many queer people can celebrate the death of Pat Robertson think about it like this.
They're celebrating the death of someone who called 9/11 our collective punishment for allowing them to be visible.
Yeah. He was not a good dude.

[Democratic leadership is willfully incompetent @RM3995]

@ElieNYC Ok, if y'all haven't been listening to clipping, you're missing out on some of Digg's best ever music and rapping.
It's not exactly easy music to listen to. It's noisy, experimental, and my god it can get grisly.
But so worth it.
Start with the self-titled record.

I don't recall the correct quote. If I have misquoted, I will correct it.
I don't take any credit for coming up with that metaphor, I can only take credit for spreading it.

[Democratic leadership is willfully incompetent @RM3995]

Wealth goes to wealth unless we make sure it goes anywhere else.
@AnandWrites said it best:
Wealth is like fertilizer. You spread it around and everything else around it grows stronger.
If it just sits and gets bigger and bigger, it's just an ever-growing pile of shit
Paraphrased

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Last year, Washington state enacted a wealth tax on capital gains profits of the richest .2%.

It was fought tooth and nail by billionaire-funded groups & passed by one vote.

In one year, it's raised $850 million for child care & school construction—triple what was expected. 🧵

Hi friends. I know times aren't easy for people, but if you can please contribute to this GoFundMe for the organization @AutisticsUnmskd. We're a small 501(c)3 with big ambitions, and we need your help!
Thank you for anything that you give. It means a lot!

@AutisticsUnmskd If it's option 1, that inherently limits how many people could even show up. Folks may be hundreds of kilometers away from that place.
Option 2 could potentially be broadcast over the internet, and the common playlist would mean everyone attending is listening to the same tunes.

Dems: We're the only ones who can stop it

Me: But you're not stopping it

Dems: We're the only ones who can

Me: But you're not stopping it

Dems: We're the only ones who can stop it

Me: But you're not stopping it

Dems: But we're the only ones who can!

Me: So it's intentional

Because the trains didn't run on time. Mussolini and his allies didn't resurrect the glory of Rome. Hitler's Reich ended with him on this day in 1945, and good riddance to bad rubbish!
But their rise to power was due in part to the center "hearing them out."
Don't repeat that!

[Democratic leadership is willfully incompetent @RM3995]

I've often called the Democratic party the GOP's biggest ally, and this is why.
Fascists aren't good leaders. And they crumble when faced with actual opposition. Democratic party leaders, however, seem unwilling to use their power to make that apparent in the contrast.

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

DeSantis’s total lack of political ability is just an absolute indictment of everyone with power who claimed to care about the oppression in Florida but said there was no stopping him.

Authoritarianism depends on incompetent fascists benefiting from an absence of opposition.

[Democratic leadership is willfully incompetent @RM3995]

And more.
Could they go further? Absolutely. In fact, I wish they did.
However, the contrast between Walz and DeSantis is stark.
One is a civil servant, however flawed, the other is trying to be America's Mussolini.
Just maybe don't tell him how his boy Benito died...
