The liberals saw QAnon, and how it warped the Republican party, and thought, "Hey, we need some of that on our side."

This reminds me of the Ukraine peace talks they keep holding without Russia. Like, what point do they even imagine these things have?

Here's some fun recent peeks into Texas fascism.

More restrictions on trans people:

Transgender Texans will not be able to change the sex listed on their driver’s licenses, according to a policy change rolled out this week.

Under the new policy, Texans will not be able to change the sex on their licenses unless it is to fix a clerical error.

Making lists of undocumented people getting healthcare:

Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order on Thursday that requires hospitals in Texas to collect information on the immigration status of patients so that the hospitals can then track costs incurred for the care of undocumented migrants. Previous guidance for hospitals did not include questions about immigration status. The executive order would mandate the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to collect this information so that the state of Texas could then bill the federal government.

Not quite as recent news but back in March, the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, tried to require PFLAG, an LGBT support group, to disclose lists of transgender Texans, doctors who work with them, and any plans the organization might have to support trans people going forward. This was blocked thankfully by an Austin court, but I'm sure they're going to try again at some point.

• Zombie Lenin, rising from his tomb to finish the revolution

• Not-Prigozhin, wearing an Ushanka and a false mustache.

• Alexander Ovechkin, vanquisher of the IOC and restorer of Soviet Olympic Hockey

• Mila Kunis, activated sleeper agent, following the call of the Motherland, ready to reintegrate the Ukrainian SSR into the whole.

We are rapidly approaching HoI4 arrows. Map Gamers are finally winning.

A while back I got banned from /r/blackwolffeed for calling out some transphobia, plus the mod team kind of looking the other way and being stupidpol tied. I sent an unban request for fun today, and this was the response lol.

Ah reddit, never change.

Israel gets first call to 51st state. Canada is 52nd or greater.

There are landlord pricing apps that effectively create an algorithmically driven landlord cartel. These systems are already in place. They just aren’t a formal cooperation.

Yeah, clearly I'm a radlib yes. Voting for ballot measures makes me a giant lib. I should sit down and do nothing instead.

This is not the same thing as political electorialism. If a good measure is up for a direct election, it's not bad to actually support it. It takes like no effort do it, and if it fails, well, there's little cost.

Eh? You're being a bit too contrarian here. Telling people to vote for ballot measures and occasionally local politicians is not the same thing as endorsing Harris.

Outer Worlds is a massive example of this. It nails the aesthetic of corporate domination and capitalist oppression, but completely fails to properly advocate for a better alternative, beyond “capitalism but nice”. And it actively punishes you for taking more “radical” approaches, instead of seeking compromise with the oppressors like it wants you to.
