Republican Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick reacted somberly to the news of Rehmet’s victory, warning in a social media post that the result was “a wake-up call for Republicans across Texas.”

“Our voters cannot take anything for granted,” Patrick emphasized.

Totally forgotten who works for whom in this arrangement. That’s how deep the fascism is baked in.

For me it’s at work where we don’t acknowledge what’s really happening and it is starting to drive me a little mad.

I work in a very diverse workforce, but for a very old fashioned company, and politics are not spoken of.

But I am surrounded by immigrants and people who are probably here on work visas, or are just dark skinned, and I have to think they are living with a constant background fear that is steadily rising but they never talk about it and I never say anything. I have a whole cycle of shame with it.

You needn’t make my point for me again. just the once is fine.

They win because we can’t form coalitions to literally save our lives, as you are so ably demonstrating.

while 9 in 10 republicans back Trump

In a sense the only part that matters in terms of the problem we face.

The hard core might be contracting a bit, but it is hardening as a result.

“Well there’s nothing better than a fart. Except throwing piss at ICE maybe”

This is actually two fun facts for me with the first one being that there is a star called Algol.

Also I just looked up that track and it is fucking gnarly! It took me back to Jawbox. Really rad, thanks for making me aware.

I can’t believe it’s been left up this long. I came across it like 5 hours ago and thought I took a screenshot and then the gummy kicked in and I spent the next 4 hours going down the YouTube rabbit hole on a woodworker who bought a farm, which I am technically still in.

Anyway when I remembered and first went to post this, I realized I hadn’t actually taken the screen shot. I figured there was no way the edit was still up all this time later but sure it enough, it was and still is.

So is 18 excessive then? Er,

You can always rely on this regime to be as ghoulish as possible in their approach to any given situation and this situation is no exception.

Imagine a human being still connected to any ethical framework trying to spin the post-mortem acceleration of the innocent women they murdered as an attack on them.

You can’t do it. You have to surrender your humanity to be capable of this level of callous evil.

Which is why he needs to be surrounded by sycophants who will protect and preserve the illusion.

Somebody help this poor woman.

Capitalism breeds the kind of innovation that benefits capital. And that’s it

Stop, I don’t need another reason to love piracy.

Sanders is, as usual, right. We need decades more of him.

We’re all picturing the same thing.

If she keeps this up and plays her cards right, she might be able to be assigned indoor work.

I knew that guy looked familiar.

These people honestly sound a little out of touch to me. I don’t think Trump actually cares about the polls that much.
