lmao

Lydia Butthole Kollins the Queen that you are

this is it.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

This entire week is going to be riddled with people speaking authoritatively about American history using 6th grade social studies white washed child friendly history lol

The University of Michigan has canceled its undercover surveillance contracts after The Guardian published a story revealing private investigators trailing and recording pro-Palestinian campus groups.

Cole Escola is the first truly funny queer person to become famous in recent years.

Let Agamemnon lift his haughty head/ O’er all his wide dominion of the dead,/ And mourn in blood that e’er he durst disgrace/ The boldest warrior of the Grecian race.

So has a single political figure said anything about the flotilla kidnapping yet?

This is still one of the best ways to limit deportations. Stop collaborations between ICE, local police departments, sheriffs, and county jails.

Seeing the entire commentariat class tripping over themselves to scold Greta Thunberg only highlights the deep-seated rot within; namely that, just as with Corbyn, they cannot conceive of a person who is principled, altruistic and unshakeable in their beliefs, because they are none of those things.

My local coffee shop is not playing around.

The older I get, the more clear it becomes that the 90s were the best decade in the history of the world.

LA is being laid siege to by the fedgv while the flotilla with Greta on the way to Gaza has been seized and the crew seemingly kidnapped

I’ve been praying for this day

Notice how the raids are in LA, Chicago, Boston, etc. and not the Texas cattle ranches that employ undocumented labor? Not the rural Iowa or Nebraska cornfields? They are intentionally terrorizing Democratic cities while turning a blind eye to their own voters who own agri-businesses in red states.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

The speed in which we have decayed into an open oligarchic kleptocracy is astounding

Fggts over on Instagram throwing a FIT over Mistress Isabelle Brooks calling her a bully like lmaooooo don’t watch tv if you’re allergic to good tv like idk damn

Ran 10 miles, now I need an iced latte extra shot reeeeal bad

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

There are many complicated explanations for why Dems have spent 50 yrs losing lots of elections, but theres also a simple one: Dems were a majority party for decades when they championed New Deal-ism & they became a losing party when they sided with money & discarded that legacy

Begging the wild fire smoke to clear up soon!!

yes! tried to make this point in my most recent column with a reference to "the king's two bodies"

its like watching the shittiest couple you know break up in the mall food court

this is crazy

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

τίς τ' ἄρ σφωε θεῶν ἔριδι ξυνέηκε μάχεσθαι;

Everyone keep saying TACO so he actually goes through with it lmao

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all timer
