Always think this scene in 12 Angry Men is a good example of the effectiveness of social consequences as a way to nip extremism in the bud. (Can also be read as an example of the Spiral of Silence in action) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QKT...

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16. Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity. 202-224-3121.

Unmitigated hate and racism, masked in “bUt EgGs,” were too good to pass up.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

"Camps." The word you're looking for here is "camps." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

fuck it I'm going to watch some Barney Miller

Trans rights are human rights, because if one person isn’t free to be who they are, then none of us are free. The fascists will get around to you eventually.

If we’re gonna re-litigate why Kamala lost don’t forget to mention she’s a black woman and this country has a storied history of racism and misogyny.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Brilliant.

If you're in the midst of a shitty day - and who amongst us will not be existing within one of those for the next four years? - my prescription is to watch something that never fails to make me smile: They Might Be Giants and the Onion A.V. Club Choir covering "Tubthumping."

Let's get a Broncos follow train going!! Repost this if you're a Broncos fan so I can follow you

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Please ask Joe Biden to do this.
