amtrak’s marketing team gets it

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go. It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)

Plessy v. Ferguson for trans people

Community Transit here in the Seattle area asked me to narrate a new video series about the importance of public transit and it turned out great! Second ep just dropped.

this is what patrol cops should look like in most cases. you can make exceptions for particular types of calls or whatever, i'm not the dress code police, but, *generally speaking*, it should be easy to identify who is police at a distance without trying to figure out if they're a spree shooter.

Imagine having vibes so rancid that you throw yourself a birthday party that no one shows up to but inspires like ten thousand fuck that guys birthday party parties

Happy Father’s Day to all dads both here and there.

as always, @johnrogers.bsky.social said it best

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

We are a proud country of Haters. Kendrick performing Not Like Us during halftime of the Superbowl is the most American shit that has ever happened

Ben Shapiro getting all upset at the parade coverage as though he isn't used to taking part in activities where no one comes

Please keep posting about how no one came to Trump’s loser parade I’m going to like all of them

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

Meemaw! Meemaw! The Boston Science Museum done made them robot dogs into homosexualists!

This military parade could’ve been a Signal chat

#NoKings Flower Mound, TX

Flower Mound brought it today!! #NoKings

Shout out Flower Mound, TX #nokings

Biggest feeling in little Flower Mound, TX. Community! We are not alone! Over 1k filled the sidewalks for over half a mile. Only one MAGA couple agitator, shut down by police in an otherwise party atmosphere. Main street, mostly honking, waving. Lots of drivers for disabled like a parade. #NoKings

Lots of people here in Flower Mound, Tx for the "No Kings" protest that's just getting started.

A bit of good news. Can’t overstate how difficult it is to get most schools to actually implement disability law. I can’t think of a single year where the school actually abided by my daughter’s IEP. And we’ve been in relatively good schools for kids w/disabilities www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...

i don’t need my law degree to tell you that telling a police officer to “honor your oath bitch” is protected first amendment speech this dude needs to sue expeditiously

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
