Yo someone needs to let Commander back in the w hitehouse to fix this mess 🦴🐕‍🦺bork bork buddy

I hope the people who told us--when we rang alarm bells about coordinated fascist attacks on diverse media and the artists who make it--to get over it and "go touch grass" reevaluate their ignorance

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

a lot of women and non-white people and queer people are *stupid assholes* and it still doesn’t mean it’s OK to discriminate against them there’s no “misogyny, racism, and queerphobia are OK when they’re being applied to stupid assholes” caveat, and that’s for very good reason

'luigi mangione being celebrated as a hero will lead to a valorization of vigilante violence' is one of those things that only sounds reasonable if you start paying attention to American vigilantism at the exact moment it targets someone with wealth and influence

Oh my god, if this works it would redeem the whole damn week.

“Congressman Jay Obernolte spoke to a crowd that erupted in boos and chants like ‘No Kings’ Saturday morning in the community center.”

the funniest part of the “email me what you did last week or you’re fired” is that the guy you’re emailing has not only never done any actual work for a second of his life, but he also believes any jobs besides “do what i say,” “laugh at my jokes” or “is already rich” are invalid

what I like about Italian wedding soup is that it serves as a nice reminder that you can put meatballs in almost anything if you want

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

Everything about this movie makes me feel like I'm going insane bc the art is unbelievably beautiful and the music is fantastic all in service of the most rancid plot Disney ever came up with

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

The day people stop posting AI generated foot fetish porn and pretending it's some noble act of rebellion is the day I finally start to live again

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Smells like venture capitalists

Carnival season in New Orleans timeline cleanse

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers The cut was carved from the masthead of a 19th century newspaper

Will never become tired of this 😂… #Odysseus #TheOdyssey

If you're not addressing the exact thing that I'm interested in, then you're falling for a distraction.

Give this to Robert Kennedy I guess

It’s so disheartening to see so many well-meaning organizations go “well, we have to sacrifice this vulnerable population in order to protect the rest of our vulnerable population” as if those people won’t be targeted next.

You know why it's fuck the Dems forever? They fought Bernie, The Squad, and anyone left of Joe Manchin harder than they've ever fought authoritarianism. They rallied behind W for Iraq and the Patriot Act and are now rolling over and showing their bellies while Trump and Musk pillage everything.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Queue the videos of congressmen and pundits and comedians demanding "Have you no shame?" No. No they don't. If you believe them at their word you're an idiot and if you're just playing along you're just as bad and deserve the same fate.

We're still getting this drip-drip of stories implying mounting evidence for a lab leak (despite no actual evidence). Meanwhile, the increasingly strong case for zoonosis rarely makes headlines.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Do it right kids

Seeing people get up to nonsense like this - like not to get all corny, but honest to God - reminds me that people are worth fighting for lmao.

Pittsburgh famously has 90 neighborhoods including Bridgeland, Cliff Hazard, Pirohitown, Redevelopment Opportunity, Discovery Zone, Bridgeland II, The Tower Of Latria, Bigfootville For Some Reason, East North Southside, and Middle Of The River

*Kendrick Lamar voice*

really can't get over the fact that because they're barred by law from renaming the fort after a confederate general, they just found a random army private with the last name bragg so that they could rename it Fort Bragg

Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.

if you use slurs you can get the fuck out of any leftist movement until you understand basic solidarity

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

as always a friendly reminder that natural disasters don’t give a tenth of a shit who elected who and saying people deserve to have their lives destroyed because their state went red/blue says WAY more about you than it does anything else
