Buying loads of trinkets, books, and media with money at a communism conference is peak irony.

@MsMelChen Do they know Handmaid’s Tale novel was partly inspired by the events that occurred after the regime change in Iran in 1979 and what the Islamic regime did to women there? Idiocy at its finest. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@MsMelChen They are afraid of The Handmaid's Tale... but they defend the Iranian regime, which inspired Margaret Atwood to write The Handmaid's Tale. Make it make sense.

He's ten years old and he's demanding access to women-only spaces, not because he believes it, but because he's been groomed to say it, he's speaking on behalf of men who wear wigs and knickers, because men who wear wigs and knickers need "trans-children" to validate them...

I get tired of Democrats claiming to be on the “right side of history” when both their past and their present are so utterly sordid and destructive.

My side of history is Mel Brooks.  Your side of history is Amy Schumer. My side of history is all men and women are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.  Your side of history is critical theory and only some lives matter.

And, MOST OF ALL: My side of history is liberty.  Your side of history is tyranny. *finis*

@TheAliceSmith And the entirety of the defense being: "We can't be fascist! We're _ANTI-FASCIST_! It's in the definition! Communist censorship, bureaucracy, mass surveillance, street thuggery, two (or more) tiers of law, political policing.... - - Not fascist ... because we're Communist. Duh."

The woke Left: “We’re fighting back against fascism…” The woke Left: “…with censorship, centralised bureaucracy, mass surveillance, street thuggery, command and control, two-tier laws, political policing, Big State authority, and other fascist methods.”

On July 31, 1968, a young, black man was reading the newspaper when he saw something that he'd never seen before. With tears in his eyes, he started running and screaming throughout the house, calling for his mom... He would show his mom, and, she would gasp, seeing something she thought she would never see in her lifetime. Throughout the nation, there were similar reactions. What they saw was Franklin Armstrong's first appearance on the iconic comic strip "Peanuts." Franklin was "born" after a school teacher, Harriet Glickman, had written a letter to creator Charles M. Schulz after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot to death outside his Memphis hotel room. Glickman, who had kids of her own and having worked with kids, was especially aware of the power of comics among the young. “And my feeling at the time was that I realized that black kids and white kids never saw themselves [depicted] together in the classroom,” she would say. She would write, “Since the death of Martin Luther King, 'I’ve been asking myself what I can do to help change those conditions in our society which led to the assassination and which contribute to the vast sea of misunderstanding, hate, fear and violence.'” Glickman asked Schulz if he could consider adding a black character to his popular comic strip, which she hoped would bring the country together and show people of color that they are not excluded from American society. She had written to others as well, but the others feared it was too soon, that it may be costly to their careers, that the syndicate would drop them if they dared do something like that. Charles Schulz did not have to respond to her letter, he could have just completely ignored it, and everyone would have forgotten about it. But, Schulz did take the time to respond, saying he was intrigued with the idea, but wasn't sure whether it would be right, coming from him, he didn't want to make matters worse, he felt that it may sound condescending to people of color. Glickman did not give up, and continued communicating with Schulz, with Schulz surprisingly responding each time.   She would even have black friends write to Schulz and explain to him what it would mean to them and gave him some suggestions on how to introduce such a character without offending anyone. This conversation would continue until one day, Schulz would tell Glickman to check her newspaper on July 31, 1968. On that date, the cartoon, as created by Schulz, shows Charlie Brown meeting a new character, named Franklin. Other than his color, Franklin was just an ordinary kid who befriends and helps Charlie Brown. Franklin also mentions that his father was "over at Vietnam." At the end of the series, which lasted three strips, Charlie invites Franklin to spend the night one day so they can continue their friendship.

Terrifying to think that thirty years ago gender affirming basically didn't exist. People didn't even have the internet to tell them they needed gender affirming care to be happy. In fact they were so lacking in information, they didn't even realise they were unhappy. Poor fools.

Sacramento cartoonist Darrin Bell known for slandering President Trump as a s*xual predator and pedophıle in his cartoons, was CHARGED with possesion of 134 child p*rnographic videos. The 49-year-old, who built his career smearing others, now faces serious charges. You can't make this stuff up

@Glinner @JohnLithgow He is assured she is taboo, so he makes what he believes are the crowd pleasing noises.

The best quote of the day.... "How could we expect a group of people who don't know the difference between a man and a woman to know the difference between a King and a President."

This is an absolute scandal. Serbian football team Crvena Zvezda has been fined €95,500 after fans choreographed a motif of Jesus Christ! UEFA fined them for "displaying a message not fit for a sporting event and bringing the reputation of football and UEFA itself into disrepute". The image was a traditional Orthodox tifo of Jesus Christ or Saint Simeone the Myrrh-flowing, while the text underneath read: “May our faith lead you to victory". UEFA has stopped games for Ramadan and openly promoted BLM and LGBT campaigns during tournaments. But Christianity is ‘inappropriate’?! What an utter disgrace.

They told my parents I would never learn to speak if I used sign language. I did. I now educate doctors about the myth. They told them I would never learn to sing or read music. I did. I joined choir and won all-state. They told them I would never be out of special education. I did. Not only I graduated at the top of my class and got accepted at an Ivy League school and later a med school, I became a teacher. They told them I would never be able to be fully independent. I own a successful business. A house. A car. And I have my own family. Deafness was never my obstacle. People are. Don't let them tell you what you can't do.

I've been holding back on this, but I'm just gonna let loose... So many of these "protestors" here in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved by President Trump. Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open Hurricane Helene cases Biden left sitting 116 days... in 5 DAYS. Trump's DOT gave nearly $2 BILLION to fix roads and bridges in WNC, which is the largest Emergency Relief allocation in federal highway history. Trump's DOT reopened I-40 in 5 months. Everyone said it would take years. Trump's HUD approved $1.4 billion for Helene housing recovery so fast that even Democrat Governor Josh Stein publicly thanked him for it. Trump's USDA delivered $221 million directly to WNC farmers who lost everything. Trump gave NC 6 full months of 100% federal cost coverage — one of the longest in FEMA history. The same people driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, living the comeback... are out here protesting the man who made most of it happen. JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!! It's not that hard. He knew you hated him before the storm. He knew that when he landed in Asheville. And guess what? HE SHOWED UP AND HELPED YOU ANYWAYS!!!!!! And today you grabbed your little sign and costumes, got in your little Subaru, you drove on those rebuilt roads, over those rebuilt bridges, passed rebuilt houses and rebuilt parks, to protest a man who helped your city. You look stupid, out of touch, and insanely ungrateful.

Urgh! Men being "disappointed" by a woman's tone & her "ferocity". The woman in question was subject to an onslaught of threats but they want her to mind her manners & be nice to those attacking her. I imagine Lithgow's compelling reasons for taking the job was money.

I remember a few years ago how conciliatory my ‘tone’ was in conversations on X about this. I’m sure many women were same. Particularly from a professional standpoint - as I’m not anonymous- I recall thinking I must stay measured. It was thrown back in our faces. We were told we were bigots even when we were polite. So, we started being less polite, more direct and even - gasp - swearing occasionally. Now we are told we are rude, toxic and angry. We can’t win so frankly, these men - and all like them - can go fuck themselves.

@preta_6 OMG, the sheer narcissism.🤣

@preta_6 My gawd, it's like some sort of kindergarden. "Now children, line up and hold up your little green cards if you have one! Don't make me guess if you're a boy or a girl!"
