The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

Who do they want me to marry, though?

It's just strange to me that we've all been so successfully conditioned to say "oh a big group of angry people who are regular citizens? I hope they are nonviolent" Instead of "oh a big group of angry people who are regular citizens? They must have something important to say"

not to ask for too much, but I think I would like Donald Trump Jr. to get involved

As the prophecy foretold.

GOP lunatics for two decades: George Soros is buying elections!! Put him in jail Elon: It was me. I bought the election. The only way we could have won.

the news is saying that trump plans to increase military spending, give tax cuts for the rich, and slash spending for the poor. is this true? i've never heard of a republican doing this before

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

Calling it "DEI's Image Problem" because a bunch of Nazis began a white supremacy campaign against the very notion of basic human equality is the kind of thing that makes me want to walk into the sea.

Trump hates his new nickname TACO so out of respect we made this song! 🌮 🕺🎶

Musk successfully ruined the government and the project continues without him. What are all these wistful “A Heroic CEO in Repose Learns You Can’t Fight City Hall” headlines even talking about

C.S. Lewis really fell off at the end

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

These are @nytimes.com headlines from just the past two weeks. 💰 @peterbakernyt.bsky.social @ericlipton.nytimes.com

Indiana-Oklahoma City will be the first NBA Finals where you can't legally bring a James Baldwin book to any of the games.

Taking my teen to see The Weeknd tonight in Detroit, and nothing screams the horror and joys of middle age like: 1. Realizing my entire wardrobe is from the dorky dad genre 2. Remembering I don't care and I'm going to have fun no matter how embarrassing I am.

Jalen Brunson complaining about that Towns foul called against Hali is hilarious.

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

Rough start for the Fever…

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
