Thrilled to learn from DOJ's argument that the 14th Amendment applied to the "children of former slaves, not illegal immigrants, who didn't exist as a class yet" that modern firearms are not protected by the Second Amendment!

political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”

I love this club. Letting a 22 year old who doesn't usually start take spot kicks and corners against one of the best and most senior goalkeepers on the planet. And it almost worked! Twice! Play the kids and they will grow into the roles they are asked to fill

I had almost forgotten that I per-ordered this, and it came in the mail today - a graphic novel adaptation of an old friend, with work done by @definitelyvita.bsky.social vita.bsky.social and @sambeckdraws.bsky.social. Getting to pass this series on (in a new form) to my kids? Amazing.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Yeah, I think there’s essentially no going back from the damage Trump has done. Even if he were removed tomorrow, America has proven it can be duped into electing a dangerously unstable person, and you can’t really make long term plans centered on an “ally” like that.

i am begging for cis people to realize that this is the end goal; make existing in the public sphere fundamentally untenable for trans people such that we'll detransition/stay in the closet, or worse. it's never been about women's spaces, or the sanctity of sports, or Protecting The Youth

fandom is a sickness that encourages you to view "community" as engaging in consumption of a product and that you will lose community by not enjoying product enough enjoy your memories and what you got from it, you are not a slave to it, you don't owe it anything, you are allowed to move on

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something. is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

Institutions will all bend or fold. Their job is to preserve themselves & they will throw everyone under the bus to do so. Watch. It’s on us, from the grassroots, to respond to this. To resist in all the ways, small & large, public as possible, that we can. To save everyone we can. Now.
