A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

The system won't be the tiniest bit less corrupt with newsom at the wheel.

I'm not a Newsom fan but this is just an absurd thing to say. It would be a feat for anyone to be as corrupt as Trump. If you wrote a book with a villain as openly corrupt as Trump, it would be panned as unrealistic.

Now I kinda want a story where the villain commits all of Trump’s crimes and keeps getting away with it, but has absolutely nobody cheering for him.

It would feel like those videos of sitcoms with the laugh tracks removed. Just an uneasy moment of tension after every action, like they’re in a completely different reality.

The clearly said the system wouldn't be less corrupt. It just so happens that the system isn't corrupt enough for the pedo president so he's even working outside of the already rampantly corrupt system

Really?

Really? Not the tiniest bit?

Well, you’re wrong. But let’s start fighting now because whatever he is, he’s getting traction and The Savior of The Left is once again nowhere to be found. We’ll have three full years of “He sucks” b/w “Oh you want more fascism then?” And then we’ll get more fascism because the left is utterly incapable of uniting.

If AOC jumps in, though, dissent will not be brooked. Because you fuckers are so goddamned insufferable she’ll be “supporting genocide” and “transphobic” before the ink is dry on her campaign document. And that will not stand, man.

Stop acting like some corrupt dipshit doing PR shit means they've been crowned as the nominee. This is the time to keep them from being chosen FOR US. It's not infighting to point out someone who would be an awful choice to undo the fascist shit...would be terrible for those reasons

True enough so - who?

*crickets*

Yeah. That’s unfortunately all we ever get around here. A football stadium’s worth of screaming and shit for visible candidates, absolutely sweet fuckall for anything else. (Okay, except Mamdani - a state-level mayoral candidate - he’s got a pass. for now.)
