Politicians should face the consequences of their policies, including especially pies to the face at restaurants and toilet paper on their lawns

Gross

1. That’s a ridiculous explanation of a political parties that only can exist in the modern American context after the fact.

2. It’s flat wrong. They ABSOLUTELY ARE corporate brands that attempt to cater to consumers. Were you born yesterday???

I’m no fan of Newsome but it about time someone stood up to Trump and forced police/military to take sides

Y’all take us for granted but give us nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s the problem

No, the world remains fucked up in either case.

“these two reps” is not the party. The party is a corporate entity. The party is fine with it.

We are not Dem voters

Throw batteries at ICE

Can’t set a precedent of popular occupation… Dems would rather lose elections than give an inch to anybody who wants to see leadership held accountable

Great reference!

The chocolate bar wrapper

This is insane. Imagine devoting resources of your public university to surveiling people who protest a genocide.

Shame

Lots of big AMAs but they could be very chaotic.

Allowed content wasn’t quite as wild as two years previous but it was still possible to find some real taboo/NSFL/disturbing/subversive communities of all sorts.

The userbase was large but still most of your friends would make fun of you for going there, and your parents didn’t even know it existed.

The admin team was still pretty small and they even would make a point to hire users who understood the culture and spirit of the site.

I live in Jeju, South Korea. There’s a local development bubble that’s going to pop, centered around a boondoggle called the Global Education City.
