Just remembering all those poli sci classes where people talked about norms and laughed when I said we can’t rely on them.

I don’t really understand how more Americans aren’t utterly humiliated that that their country is being led by such inept and cruel people

Ringing in the weekend with a commitment to relaxation

❤️❤️❤️

So at what point do we ask the US ambassador to leave? How bad does the rhetoric coming out of the US have to be before we say enough?

Until we see sustained and organized pushback against the trump/elon regime booing the US national anthem seems the least we can do.

Also not to get too history repeating itself but I’m beginning to understand how Poland might have felt

Watching the techno-coup going on in the US and thinking about how either complicit or cowardly the press is in dealing with it.

It’s hard to believe that we are going to be plunged into world wide unrest and economic upheaval because the US Democratic Party can’t find a spine or their moral core

Essential essay by @beccalew.bsky.social about how Silicon Valley’s flirtations with fascism and defense of white male power are nothing new — but a return to what many of the industry’s current leaders would’ve learned in the 1990s when right-wing figures warned of the “pussification” of tech.

Google has Gone from do no evil to yes sir to fascists in a very short time frame

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Deadnaming the Gulf of Mexico out of principle

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Nonbinary folks are neither. An executive order claiming otherwise has exactly as much moral and scientific validity as one claiming that gravity is no longer to be obeyed. (It also does not have the power of law. Do not capitulate in advance.)

So the nazi salute the inauguration… I thought it would take longer for the social masks to drop. I’ll guess I won’t have to check my old textbooks for the definition of a failed state. Ill Just watch the news

Thinking of trans people today, the attacks and bigotry they'll endure over these years, and the failure of mainstream media and greater society to behave with decency and offer support to the marginalized. We must be brave, take action, and listen to those who ask for help, for the good of us all.

I had to make some tough decisions today.

Congratulations to Karen pence who today showed more backbone than any ‘leaders of the free world’ past or present. Not something I ever thought I would see.

Disaster capitalism is about to remake California and drive a further wedge between haves and have nots

Trying my hardest to extend the compassion I have for those in LA who are not wealthy and are facing tremendous losses to a bunch of rich people who are losing their homes to fire after their most recent election where they complained about their municipal taxes and defunded the fire department

Same

Jimmy Carter is what the US believes it is. Trump is what it actually is. Rip president Carter

I’m just going to take a wild guess and say the Nolon won’t be using Emily Wilson’s version of the Odyssey. Not enough misogyny in it. 🤣🤣🤣

My favorite part of Star Wars was the scene where the Resistance leaders decide against trying to destroy the Death Star and instead kick in $1 million each for Palpatine's inauguration.

So newspapers don’t want to post a manifesto because they’re worried it will radicalize people but treat corporate pr statements like they are the gospel?

Time magazine is teaching us all what it means to be unimaginative and complicit since 1937

So the US wants a 51st state that has single payer healthcare, the start of national dental plan, subsidized birth control, and a national pharmacare plan coming online? Thats very progressive 🤣

Seems To me that if your job had you justifying death sentences for a substantial portion of a population it might be hard to find people sympathetic to your own death.

So is this a Richard Jewel thing or did he really do it?

Burger Kings new tag line needs to be: we serve you not the corporate overlords.

According to instagram I know a LOT of Swifties and they were all at the show last night.

They’re going to have to change their name. Can I suggest pod bore America?

House Hunters International makes you think there are just some people who should never leave home.

The hubris in the pod save America bro meltdown going on really says it all. Some folks just stop learning and get stuck in a rut.

'The readiness to repudiate identity politics & group them under “bad woke” is less about policy and more about the fact that social justice never really found a home amongst liberals, who were happy to capture its energy but not its demands.' The week's column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Can I get some colonialism with a side of irony?

Cormac McCarthy was a groomer and 11,000 words won’t move off this opinion.

I finally had the courage to listen to #VibeCheck after the US election. Saeed always manages to give me comfort or at least a way forward.

Thinking about the postal workers in Canada right now. They provide a key service to many communities. Solidarity with their struggle.

Read 78 papers today and only two were obviously written by AI. Not a bad ratio these days

How much do we think Jake Paul paid Tyson for the dive?

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I guess if going to find followers and engage on here I’m going to have to start posting and responding but I’ve been conditioned out of that from the toxic mess so many of us have come from.

she started a haka to tear up their proposed changes to the indigenous treaties bill and the whole thing got pushed out what a legend

Wrote about how four years of “Fund the Police!” did zero for the Democrats except legitimize GOP talking points, depress Dem voter turnout, hand Trump a well-funded police state, and make the world a crueler, more violent place. An abject failure. theappeal.org/fund-the-pol...

Someone messed up calling the skeets and not blurts
