"Join the fuckin club of most of us" is a line that's clanged around my head for two decades

Is any prominent Democrat calling for DOJ to initiate a criminal investigation for violation of the Espionage Act and the resignations of *every person* on the war planning Signal chat? Or are they surrendering in advance to the expectation that DOJ won’t investigate and no one will resign? 🧵

Washington DC implies the existence of Washington Marvel.

And hey, you know what? I'd include Christian denominations in the list of "institutions with resources". Serious question--have any Protestant* churches spoken out or given sermons about how the administration is acting evilly? Or are they as cowed as Big Law and the Ivies? Points to the Pope.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.

If this is correct, then Schumer has to resign his leadership position. If his own party leadership can’t trust his word, then he’s useless. Also explains why Jeffries seemed so angry at Schumer.

Share the media. The news is compromised. We're starting to boil over.

Oh neat, March 28 is national "Smash Your Amazon Echo Devices With A Hammer" day.

BREAKING: In a landslide vote, Harvard Law student body passes divestment referendum, overcoming administration attempts to prevent and delegitimize the vote. Harvard Law students overwhelmingly vote for Justice for Palestine and divestment from Netanyahu’s regime. This is historic.

Call your Democratic senators and demand they remove Schumer from leadership. The fact that most of them didn’t vote for cloture means there’s a real chance of getting him out.

an actually fascinating thing is looking at the people liking these posts. 30-150 follow farmers, yglesias-heads, fans of brianna wu, & 💙🌊 resist/“do not comply in advance”-in-bio motherfuckers. and 7k people under each saying “you have failed us all, you miserable shitty fuck.”

Taking a nice long walk home on a gorgeous day, listening to a new coheed album, putting up a bunch of stickers that say fuck Elon, things could certainly be worse.

“I served the only recognized government on Bajor during the occupation. If it wasn’t for us, the situation on Bajor would’ve been 10 times worse than it was. Sounds familiar.

absolutely pissed, but trying to take heart because SO MANY REGULAR PEOPLE called and organized and fought in the last three days to try and avert this. you're all fucking amazing.

The Good Place Committee needs to be run out of their jobs, one by one, until none of them are left.

@jennyowenyoungs.bsky.social Jenny, with no agenda, I would just like to say that your "Last Person" video and Rose Betts's "Doodles" both have a joyous energy that I absolutely love. (Iay be a sucker for a chorus!clapping).

@edidin.bsky.social ok, you are probably the best person to ask this... Is there a reason for the random* BOLD text in marvel speech bubbles?

"The Order is an affront to the Constitution and our adversarial system of justice. Its plain purpose is to bully those who advocate points of view that the President perceives as adverse to the views of his Administration."

A recent study found that cervical cancer deaths in young women have plummeted since the introduction of the human papillomavirus vaccine.

The end of Whiplash except it's the Mute City theme from F-Zero.

A crowd has gathered for the NYC protest against the illegal ICE arrest of Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil. Protesters are chanting and calling for his immediate release. Multiple helicopters overhead.

A elegant Praying Mantis from the subfamily Thespinae - can anyone tell me more about this species from Puerto Rico? This was a male.

Similar to how conservatives can't wrap their head around any social issue until it affects them directly, MAGA don't understand how little their Dear Leader cares about them until their world implodes due to his policies. Mind you, that's happening a lot now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Perlhuhn or guinea hen for #AnimalMarch

THE WOOD FROGS ARE HERE!!!! I had to do an emergency rebuild of the pond this weekend because it had a leak. It's most of the way done and apparently it's good enough for the frogs because 3 of them have arrived!! #herps 🌿

Fun fact: The "obscure legal statute" cited by the "New York Times" here is a clause in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, known as the McCarran-Walter Act, which was originally written to allow the US government to deport Eastern European Jews suspected of Communist sympathies.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

“Meh, veterans. Who cares”

This is not a “clean CR” — this is a green light for Trump and Musk to continue their campaign of corruption and destruction. If Republicans want to hand over the power of the purse to Trump and his billionaire buddies, they can pass this bill themselves.

Pro-tip: When the time comes to pick a candidate, don't go for the guy who thinks the way to figure out why Dems are not more popular is to interview an extremist right wing nut job like Charlie Kirk and ask him. Really. You will not find your answer there.
