I suddenly got the feeling that switching off at the utter clusterfuck of politics for a few months means I've missed a few things that actually matter...?

My rep is Cicilline and he's been pro impeachment for a while, so I'm happy with him.

I can't get over the US president publically mocking an obviously emotional 16 year old girl who just wants the best for the whole planet. I just can't. I know he's done so many other awful things, but it's just so loving spiteful. Some of the poo poo his supporters are saying online, I reported someone earlier detailing how they wanted to smash her face in with a brick

Take comfort in the fact that all the people saying things like this are pathetic, withered husks of human beings who have been abandoned by their families and are incapable of experiencing happiness. They're the population of Free Republic.

British Trump got slapped down in his attempt to put Parliament on recess until a week or two before the Brexit deadline. Their Supreme Court ruled unanimously that this was illegal and is allowing Parliament to go back into session. https://twitter.com/orlandosentinel/status/1176451654218080258

I was riding into work with a lady who was listening to some kind of talk radio wherein they discussed how the whistleblower wasn't even listening to the call! therefore this wasn't real. As if this had any bearing on the fact that the president himself literally blurted out crimes. The amount of cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance is stunning but the spin coming from the right is just painful to listen to.

What do you do? I mean, it's becoming patently obvious that the President of the United States threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine if they didn't investigate a political opponent of his. Trump has admitted to talking about Biden on the call, and it's already known that he told Mick Mulvaney to put a hold on the $400 mil we were about to send them. At this point, if your brain isn't swiss cheese and you're spinning this for Trump, your denials will sound ridiculously stupid.

Actually, they can't no confidence first or he'd already be out. They have to do a couple of things to make sure that they don't Brexit out before a new election can be held. One of those things may include throwing Johnson into a dungeon.

Greta is something you couldn't even write as a foil to help display the boorishness and vileness of an entire political movement in a work of fiction. Like the part where people like her and Hogg become targets is... beyond satire.

Yeah there was an awful lot of grasping at straws that I heard until I put my headphones in and tried desperately to ignore it. Once I was about to get out of the car, they were on about some attack by a bunch of black teens who killed a white dude "reminiscent of that 'knockout game' where black kids would just hit white people". Probably the most blatantly racist bullshit I've ever heard spoken out loud. I don't know how people exist on a steady diet of this garbage but it's easy to see how it enormously warps your worldview

This. This right here is why our youth are revolting. Because the “adults” are spineless , hypocritical cowards who defend treason and mock 15 year olds on the spectrum. I was so inspired over the last few weeks I signed up for, and donated to, The Sunrise movement. That said, I attended one of their webinars and mannnnmn I felt old lol.

Wark Say posted:The kids are alright. gently caress yeah they are. As and feel good as that is, the point she’s making with her activism is that we need to do something now, because if we don’t it doesn’t matter that the “kids are alright.” It’s not enough to post on social media about how awesome she is or how you can sleep better at night knowing the next generation could be better people than us. Those are just words. We need action, and we needed it yesterday, but today is all we have so we need to do something today instead of punting it into the future. Edit: not saying you’re not doing anything or calling you out specifically, but yeah that’s kind of her whole point. She doesn’t want words or thoughts or prayers. She doesn’t want anyone’s condescending “wow she’s amazing and only 16” praises. She wants action. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Sep 24, 2019 |

Boris has a point, we need to all take Greta’s lead. Over the last year I’ve gotten involved with, joined, donated to.. The Sierra Club Local affordable housing/YIMBY/Mass Transit Groups Local DSA Branch Sunrise Movement And various local/state candidates doing canvassing, phone banking. Attending climate, housing forums ect Honestly I feel like a “freelance” leftist because im with so many groups and part of that is my ADHD and autism at play, but it feels good! If the world is destined to go to poo poo it won’t go without me fighting. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light

I’m fairly sure in the right wing playbook she’s just out of the range of hitting and now in the range of being hit on, but they confuse sex and violence so much it just comes out as jumbled sick perversion. These are the people who’ve helped ratchet up our rape and incest stats to where they are right now.
