A school district recommending its employees actively combat government agents trying to abduct children is pretty grim stuff.

Obviously Alex Jones is an evil man who should be buried in sand with his head exposed and left to die of exposure. But it would be extremely fitting for him to be US Press Secretary. He's already the character of American US Propaganda Chief ripped from the most unsubtle political satire ever written.
It would be so easy to win a national election against Trump. Watch. "I, your democratic candidate, pledge to fight the supermarket, pharmacological, and healthcare cartels that are artificially inflating consumer prices for their own gain."
But democrats don't want to do that.
this is just a repeat of "We can push Biden to the left". What good did that do?
What do you mean? That worked. I mean, sure, I'll grant you that Biden didn't make any sort of push to bring about policies that help working class people, but he did pose on that UAW picket line. That's the most progressive thing an American president has done since FDR. That's progress, and like any progress it's slow. Gradual. I expect that, at this rate, in forty years we might get a president that will be willing to say out loud that it ought to be illegal to extrajudicially kill homeless people.
I spoke to a conservative family member the other day who said they didn't like Walz because "he's a total socialist." I know words like socialist don't have much meaning to most Americans, but what the hell is that supposed to mean?
I asked that, in nicer terms, but didn't get a meaningful response. I called Walz a moderate, and said that he hasn't even called for any New Deal style programs to be added to the democratic platform, much less socialism.
Think they made Walz turn down his rhetoric because they want to run a center-right campaign to attract would-be Republican voters that are put off by Trump? If that's right it's got to be one of the worst electoral strategies, maybe ever.
Hearing and reading libs says shit like "See, Dick Cheney knows that Trump is even worse than he was, that's why we have to vote blue" is infuriating. How can't they see what's really happening here?
THEY’RE ARGUING ABOUT THEIR GOLF GAMES!
I don't know about this one chapos. I mean, can you imagine what it would be like to live under a dictatorship? They'd probably do crazy shit like ban bodily autonomy, ban protesting, make it illegal to criticize regimes that are in league with the dictator, ban mass communication platforms, crack down on immigration, allow friendly corporations to operate their own mafias they'd use to kill whistleblowers, and just generally crush poor and working people. I wouldn't want to live under a rule like that.
Why strike Iraq?
John Bolton must be in an insane blood-rage today. Hope he never gets what he wants.
There's this self-pubbed Fantasy author who made a very bad critique of a Kojima character named Fatman going around on Twitter. Someone posted the first page of his book, and it's very bad, and for the last day and a half a good portion of my timeline has been relentlessly mocking this.
On the one hand, it seems like this dude has it coming and also the first page of book is very bad. On the other hand, as a wannabe SFF author I am seeing someone live out on of my nightmares. Having this happen to you is like showing up for work and realizing you have to give a presentation you forgot about, and you're naked, and all the teeth fell out of your head.
