Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.

This is one of the parties that were formed into Likud BTW.
If I had a nickel for each peninsula that’s shaped like a boot I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Why do you think I liked the men that got the Democratic nomination for president?
Or, you know, neoliberal ghouls are unpopular no matter their gender. Have you considered that possibility?


So you’re saying it’s generally a good idea but because now some of the Dems support the idea, we should no longer publicly support
No, they’re very clearly not saying that. They’ve explained themselves already, but to add to their point: Liberals have a long and consistent history of coopting working class movements, using them to achieve their own ends and then throwing the working class under the bus, going so far as to violently suppress the movement if it doesn’t fizzle out on its own. There is no reason to believe US liberals (aka Democrats and any Republicans willing to defect) won’t try to use this very successful playbook, so it needs to be counteracted starting right now. Organize a general strike and don’t let anyone who won’t support universal healthcare within a mile of it. The DNC isn’t currently the one holding the guns, but that doesn’t make them any less of an enemy to the working class.


It’s funny how these guys are only like this when their enemies are in charge.


Probably because all the criminals are too busy posting about scary Muslim knife attacks on X.


I’ve talked to them in person? I’ve seen them countless times before this, and many of them have been organizing before Trump was president.
I was referring to the leadership of organizations like Indivisible that are actually planning the protests, since those are the ones who set strategy.
If that’s not a concrete positive outcome, I don’t know what is.
You know what, fair enough. I still believe the pace is catastrophically slow, but I guess No Kings is more useful than I thought.


There. Are. More. Important. Things. Than. The. Epstein. Files. Fucking hell, I swear some of y’all will have a gun to your head and say “nice distraction from the Epstein files.”


but giving millions of people booklets, cards, zines, and papers that direct them to their local ICE rapid response networks, get them canvassing for leftist politicians in their area, and giving them hope that lets them keep doing those things in the future
Do you have evidence that these is the organizers ’ intentions? I keep seeing this point made, but really if the point is radicalization and encouraging action they’re failing miserably. I mean hell, it’s been a year and only like two or three notable acts of resistance happened (no, No Kings protests don’t count); when are we supposed to actually see this bear fruit? This argument made sense in April, maybe even in July, but January 2026 with project 2025 half done? At this point something is not going according to plan, and frankly I’m far more inclined to believe that No Kings is acting as a do-nothing release valve than that it’s a successful method of radicalizing attendees.


Thanks Biden!


Thanks Biden!


AFAIK Lemvotes runs a private instance with a bot (???) as an admin which it uses to collect downvote information (as others have explained, the information is already there, it’s just private on the client side on most Fediverse platforms).
My impression is that they’ve been purging people from past administrations, not their own appointees. If that’s off the mark I’ll have to rethink my position, but so far the purges can be explained by how they likely want high-ranking bureaucrats and military officers to be solidly in their camp.
I disagree on the MAGA part. MAGA is currently preparing for a coup, so they need ideologically compliant sycophants at the top levels of power. That’s not paranoia; it’s a pragmatic and effective strategy.


Somalia is committing fewer Holocausts than 1945 Germany, so yeah.
Netanyahu Nobel prize when?
