Fact that some democrats are wasting time talking about Zohran being too extreme as legislation passes by republicans to do the largest wealth transfer in history from the poor to the extreme rich tells you all you need to know

So, K-pop Demon Hunters fucking slaps.

Mamdani never used this phrase. It's just a smear. It's frankly astonishing to me that Democratic House members allow this dullard to continue leading them.

English cover for the new novel dropped! *smushes baby Geralt’s little cheeks*

May tonight's election be a wakeup call for the entire Democratic party. We want new and younger voices. We want progressive choices. We don't care what the fuck Bill Clinton thinks.

FUCK YES!!!!!

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

Really feel like the NYC mayor’s race shows that there is no such thing as a progressive establishment, and there is, in fact, an anti-progressive establishment that runs all the way from Murdoch to Clinton

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

For real tho…

Illinois fam, I know calling @durbin.senate.gov is frustrating AF b/c they basically never pick up at the DC offices but try the local offices. Chicago: 312.353.4952 It's truly appalling that he's so clueless about what's happening to his constituents. How can he fight for us when he is so unaware?

This is one of many ways the trans rights and disability rights are linked: “Having to take medicine for the rest of your life” is not something to avoid at all costs, it’s something that comes for us all eventually as we get older. Disabled rights are your rights, trans rights are your rights

Tapping the sign again

Happy Juneteenth! @freeblackgirl.bsky.social‬'s meditation on Ryan Coogler's Sinners and its devotion to Black intimacies is something you NEED to read today:

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Days like today feel like they will last forever and the assholes have won. But as Jeff Buckley sang, "It's never over." Fuck them.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

What’s important to remember is that the NYT is part of the for-profit media structure owned by a billionaire family. Yes they have great reporters, but at the end of the day their biggest objective is protecting the capital. Another mask off moment.

When you hear the whining about "police injured on duty" in LA today: the people actually listening to the scanners said LASD fired rubber bullets at LAPD so LAPD tear-gassed LASD. The protestors are gonna get blamed for it, but it was entirely self-inflicted.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

UPDATE: An estimated 75,000 people marched in Chicago's 'No Kings' protest, organizers said. blockclubchicago.org/2025/06/14/c...

No Kings but Eddie Kingston.

Chicago's massive "No Kings" march has taken to Downtown streets. Follow along for live updates: blockclubchi.co/44id2A8

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

A huge crowd gathered at Daley Plaza for a march through Downtown as part of a nationwide day of protest against President Donald Trump’s administration. The No Kings rally is the latest in this week’s flurry of anti-Trump protests across the country. Follow the latest: blockclubchi.co/44id2A8

It's a backboard-shattering slam dunk for whichever Democrat going on Meet the Press on Sunday to ask Kristen Welker why NBC News didn't say the video contradicts the White House in this headline. Holding the media accountable publicly has to be the responsibility of the party opposing fascism

Flipped on The Horror and the Wild while working on my new manuscript, and fuckin’ a, it’s still so fucking good.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

hey! don't fall into the good protester bad protester binary! to the state there are no good protesters! don't do their propaganda work for them!

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

Just as Geralt journeys from city to city, The Witcher in Concert is setting off across the United States — from the West to the East Coast! ⛵️ The tour will visit 46 cities, bringing music from the Continent to a stage near you. The full list of stops: www.thewitcher.com/concert

Just submitted a comment! Took no time at all.

TODAY

this bitch smoked a cigar and had a cocktail using the money she made from this franchise after tanking trans rights

If like three years ago the pundit class and democratic politicians had held to this line we wouldn't be where we are today "I don't know what the big deal is."

Once again

Dear god let this man cook.
