@MrsViolence it was all about power and shame. one way for little boys to make themselves feel less awkward socially was to bully others. 'harmless fun, boys will be boys' was just a permission structure for the law of the jungle and avoiding responsibility for teaching boys how to be kind.

@GreggHoush I think they mean rich, white, republican silicon valley tech bros.

@DestinyTheGame very discouraged with lightfall. Titan super squishy. Seasonal story feels short and leaves me wanting. put in hours and hours to improve my character and still getting 1 shot by things i dont see. im no pro gamer, but resil nerf+difficulty scaling? Overkill.

@BlizzardCS I bought the collectors digital edition, and a week later, you offered a sale giving an extra month of game time. I put in a ticket, this was the response. this doesn't really feel very fair or consumer friendly. is there nothing you can do?

Raskin: They say when we argue for removing weapons of war from the streets of America, we’re actually telling them to repeal the 2nd amendment. We are not telling them to repeal the 2nd amendment, we are telling them to READ the 2nd amendment

Those of us who warned that Trump posed a unique fascistic unhinged threat to American democracy have been - again! - sadly vindicated today.
Those - on the right & left - who constantly suggested we not get worked up about, or obsessed with, Trump owe the rest of us an apology.

Hey, @TheDemocrats, you've been fundraising to protect Roe for the past 50 years and never attempted to codify it despite taking millions from working families.

Fuck the flood of fundraising texts, calls, and emails you are all sending out.

End the filibuster. Codify Roe.

It took 50 years to do this.

I need you all to understand it might take 50 years to fix. Or more

Not because lol both sides.

Because that kind of change takes constant, head-down, boring, hard, incremental, generational WORK

They put in the time for evil. We have to for good

According to one of his law clerks, as reported by @nytimes in 1993, Justice Clarence Thomas privately said,
"The liberals made my life miserable for 43 years, and I'm going to make their lives miserable for 43 years."

absolutely wild that the scotus said, no states rights for restricting gun sales and full states rights for restricting healthcare for women in a matter of 24 hours. its so transparent.

Tucker Carlson didn’t air ads during Thursday’s January 6 hearings. The decision cost Fox News roughly $400,000 in lost advertising money.

That’s how much they want to keep their viewers in the dark.

All I can think is that there's just no saving this place. There's tens of millions of good people here, but the power structure is controlled at every single level by people and groups who aren't good at all and don't even pretend to want to be good.

“Today’s verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son. It sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street.”

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

it's lucky for Kyle Rittenhouse that he was just a bloodthirsty white teenager crossing state lines to literally commit murder, and not, for example, a black man selling loose cigarettes on a street corner, because there are serious consequences for that

@HannahReloaded I like this one. it's fancy.
