"The hurrier I go the behinder I get."

Saw that apocryphal Alice in Wonderland quote a lot as a kid (hanging on a plaque in the kitchen iirc), and it didn't mean much to me then.

But it's on my mind CONSTANTLY as I've gotten older.

Trump’s shock-and-awe attack on legal rights, like Putin’s shock-and-awe attack on Ukraine, may now just get bogged down in years of skirmishes and inconclusive battles.

A “forever war” against the judiciary.

And not the quick easy win that Trump and his cronies believed would happen.

“Were you Blur or Oasis?”

Pulp.

Welcome back.

Happy confederate surrender day to all who celebrate! 🎉🎇🍾

The entire confederacy lasted around 4 years. That's half of an Obama administration! Obama was president for twice as long as that little racist tantrum, so I don't want to hear any talk about how it's your "heritage."

Abraham Lincoln called himself a "Moderate Republican." That means he didn't believe in slavery, but by his own words, was a proud white supremacist.

He called Ulysses S. Grant a "Radical Republican." Radical Republicans rejected white supremacy, and told Lincoln to his face that he was wrong.♥️👍🏿

Some people are racists. Some people are losers. Some people are both.

The racist confederates lost and surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on April 9th.

But Lincoln refused to listen to Grant and the Radical Republicans pleas to reject white supremacy after the civil war.

A painful mistake.

You have tariffs today, and are crying about the bond market, and are hoping you don't die of measles or polio, because too many Americans believe that they can control just enough racism.

It's 2025. "Radical leftists" is still the insult hurled at anti-racists. "Moderate" still means racism lite™️.

@flargh 🤣

people keep calling this the Anthropocene era but it feels a lot more like the Misanthropo Scene tbh

Reposting with alt text because 😂

Chuck Schumer cannot protect you from what's coming. He's not built like that.

But if you're honest with yourself, you knew that already.

Just like a Pomeranian cannot protect you from a pack of coyotes. It's not mean to the Pomeranian to say that. The Pomeranian doesn't understand that he's food.

Nazi rally in your town? Let me introduce you to:

🎈Apple cider vinegar water balloons🎈

Benefits include:
- nontoxic
- stinks REALLY bad
- everybody can ID the Nazi later after the hoods come off
- fun
- fuck Nazis

Bonus:
- add a teaspoon of glitter for extra obvious Nazi visibility

Pete Hesgeth, like the rest of the Trump administration, is a piece of shit.

Linguistically, “DEI” is now the new “critical race theory”: a scapegoat phrase used devoid of any of its actual meaning by people who never understood the original in the first place
