Ok, to prove to my husband that this is more a European device than a U.S. device I am going to need more non-US people to reblog this.
Do not reblog for science. No science will be happening. Reblog to help me prove a point!
(If I am right I will show him this poll. If I am wrong he will never know this happened)
Reminder that twitter is now an informal, unregulated (i.e. warrantless) information source for Trump administration use.
He has the resume for Trump's Cabinet.
Paternal rapist of children, chauvinist douche.
I do not want to be too alarmist or fear mongering anyone, but if you are trans and do not want to be forcibly detransitioned without major medical costs, consider either stocking up or seeking refuge in a trans sanctuary state
Trans sanctuary states as of November 2024 (in alphabetical order):
STAY SAFE OUT THERE!
That excuse also may have worked the first time he won and we didn't know what he could do. People who voted for Trump now are like Neo-Nazis. They looked at all the bad that happened and said "yes, we want that again but MORE".
Studies show that approaching youth with a bystander-intervention model is actually a lot more effective for reducing sexual assault, and it is also more enthusiastically received than programs that bill themselves as anti-rape.
We can tell youth that they are basically “rapists waiting to happen” (anti-rape initiative), or we can tell them that we know they would intervene if they saw harm happening to someone and we want to help empower them to do that (bystander intervention). The kids jump in with both feet for the latter! It was amazing to see children (and young boys in particular) excited to do this work and engage their creativity with it. Also, studies show that not only do they go on to intervene, but they also do not go on to sexually assault people themselves. Bystander intervention also takes the onus off the person being targeted to deter rape and empowers the collective to do something about it. It answers the question in the room when giggling boys are carrying an unconscious young woman up the stairs at a house party, and people are not sure how to respond and are waiting for “someone” to say or do something.

This is also, btw, how the US drastically reduced drunk driving in the US. Telling people they shouldn’t drive when intoxicated made absolutely zero difference. A slogan-and-ad-campaign for “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk!” changed drinking culture. Going after the bystanders is quite often the most effective thing to do in any social change.
As someone old enough to have gotten anti-drug use messaging before DARE became a thing, let me tell you Boomers were very keen to NOT let me be a bystander intervening. I would literally step forward to help someone and get shouted back. A constant refrain of "don't get involved/if you help you can be sued!". From parents, from teachers, from most every adult around me. "Don't get involved, involvement means liability".
As a young Asian female often subjected to old men trying to be inappropriate for as long as I could remember, what I learned was that I would have to take care of myself and to not help if there were witnesses that looked like the offending party. Don't help unless you and the others outnumbered the what of who was in the wrong. The pre-smart phone version of videotaping the cops to hold them accountable. Help only if you could be sure that it won't be turned on you.
It's nice to see that that attitude may be changing.
The Assembled for Agatha All Along seemed weaker than their usual offerings.
Well, so far 4 is better than 3. It is funny to see Merida doing an indistinct southern American accent.
Onto Pumpkinhead 4.
I gotta say, marathoning all these horror series really drives home how solid the Conjuring series is.
Wednesday can't even say that her type is different from the family, since Enid is all colorful. Wednesday's type is like her uncle's type, Uncle Fester. I can even imagine Morticia saying once again when she sees their house: Pastel? At least it will be pastel gothic, but pastel will be present, a lot of pink.
I miss crazy Debbie, too.
It's even been doubled down on.
As someone who has actually done tshirt prints as a business, let me explain how this really looks and works.
Canadian made shirt at minimum wholesale - $2.80
Chinese made shirt at minimum wholesale - $1.97
USA made shirt at minimum wholesale - $3.78
Print cost within US, now "US made" - $3.85
Wholesale price of finished shirt - $10
Retail - $20
---
Trump places 50% tariff on products from China, Chinese shirt now $2.96.
Switch to Canadian made shirt, US supplier still doesn't get sale.
Print shop gets inks from Chinese supplier, no US alternative. Print cost now $5.78.
Wholesale price of finished shirt - $17
Retail - $34
Still gets to claim "Made in USA" even though shirt is from Canada and ink on it is from China. But the Chinese ink was put on the Canadian shirt in the US so that counts.
By the way, this is exactly how Ford and GM and most every USA manufacturing system works. So expect all the "Made in USA"/"US brands" to become more expensive too. Because their parts come from elsewhere.

This right here? ⬆️ Circle it, then underline it.
You can't offer your opponent a compromise and expect them to just accept it.
Especially when the 'compromise' in question involves people's basic rights, dignity, or safety.
Actually, don't walk in with what you want. Walk in asking more than you want. You want to buy a trinket for $30, you don't offer $30. You offer $20 and let them talk you into $30.
They want to get rid of ACA. Demand you representatives propose and support expansions to ACA and make them waste their time fighting to keep it exactly as it is so they don't have time to get rid of it.
Pumpkinhead 3 is really dragging. It is only supposed to be 90 minutes and it's just taking bloody forever.
this can’t be real
He put them together at the kids table that doesn’t exist I’m fucking crying
its easy to make fun of this (and i think we should) but its also important to note the description of this new department that trump has given
[transcript: "together, these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies - essential to the 'save america' movement," trump wrote. "i look forward to elon and vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all americans."]
to be clear: trump is planning to create a new department whose purpose is literally to deregulate and defund government oversight. this will lead to corporations having greater freedom to fuck over consumers while making more money, and he is putting two billionaires in charge of it.
sure, maybe this is just a ploy to keep them quiet. giving them the illusion of power in exchange for backing him. but lets not forget all the regulations trump cut during his last term
which has directly led to the constant recalls of consumer goods and foodstuffs over the past several years. the recent e coli outbreak at mcdonalds? the boars head listeria recall? these are the products of deregulation. getting rid of laws and standards that protect consumers by making sure money hungry corporations dont cut corners.
the funny name is a smokescreen. keep your eye on these fuckers.
Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.
Resist every step and do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Distracting people with stupid bullshit is one of Trump's favorite political techniques. We saw it all over the place in the first term.
Trump will say something like "You know the Hispanics actually punch kittens, it's what they do."
And the news will be like "TRUMP SAID HISPANIC PEOPLE PUNCH KITTENS" for three weeks.
And while they're doing that the Republicans in Congress have quietly deleted healthcare.
Do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Trump is a dancing monkey whose greatest asset is the ability to yank the spotlight off of everyone else. Keep your eyes on Congress.

I see Superman is taking inspiration from his best friend Batman in that last panel. XD
Opposes the detention and deportation of immigrants.
I doubt most DC characters would vote for these mindless pieces of shit honestly
The only DC characters I can think of who would vote Republican off the top of my head would be nauseating worthless fascist pieces of shit like Sarge Steel, Per Degaton and Amanda Waller
Lex Luthor wouldn't vote for them because he views them as intellectually inferior and not worth caring about, which is the only thing I agree with Lex about.
Vandal Savage would probably be happy to support them illegally but he can't vote since his social security number is triangle, square, wooly mammoth, fire
Lock-Up would love to vote for them but ironically now he's a convicted felon he's lost that right, which is hilarious given his hatred of how prisoners had "Too many rights" in his view
The Joker wouldn't vote Republican either but that's not because due to any moral objection, he just hates them for not being funny
Scarecrow... well, his whole thing is making large groups of people feel dangerous and irrational fear, which has historically been one of the most reliable ways to get authoritarian conservative populists elected. So okay, they can have the guy who casually remarks on how much he enjoys drugging and psychologically torturing children
Riddler considered trapping a bunch of Republicans in one of his escape rooms but the whole point of Riddling is that he wants a challenge
A lot of depictions of Ra's do have an accelerationist vibe (the absolute worst ideology to be found anywhere on the left) so he'd probably support the Republicans for the same reason he supports natural disasters, but there are so many reasons why he both couldn't and wouldn't actually vote for them
Jane Doe would kidnap a Republican politician, tell him "your body, my choice", remove his skin and wear it as a costume, then steal his identity
Hush would try to vote Republican while wearing Bruce Wayne's face only to be caught by Batman before he even gets to the voting booth
Guys Scarecrow is also a convicted felon. He can’t vote either.
You know who the token Republican in DC is? Rudy West.
I don't know about now, but Guy Gardner of older versions would vote Republican. Cop family, sexist prick, ego the size of the moon.
Should I watch this Yes or No

Khan released a virus into the air system and Dr McCoy learns that a spike of adrenaline will cure the sickness, the dialogue is incredible.
McCoy: you've been infected with a virus but a spike of adrenaline will trigger the antibodies, Christine I need you to do it Chapel: Have an orgasm? McCoy: YES! (hands her a vibrator) for god sakes use it!
incredible leap of logic Christine
Kirk and Spock got infected with the virus so they have to double team Uhura ✊😔 but spock is reluctant which gave us the awesome line
Kirk: Dammit Spock you're half human, you've gotta fuck her
