Shitler just canceled any peace talks bc he is offended that Zelenskyy stood his ground. Let me be clear: Zelenskyy didn’t offend the US. We have always stood by our allies in defending democracy. Shitler & CouchFuqr wanted someone to buff their egos. Zelenskyy is too much of a man to do that.

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

I’ve had mine up since the inauguration

"Not because it is easy, but because it necessary. Not because victory is guaranteed, but because the fight is worth it."

It is hard to overstate the importance of this.

This goes without saying, but the president cannot overturn Marbury v. Madison or Article I of the Constitution by executive order.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

FBI academy, Quantico, VA, 2025. Donald Trump, literally graywashing the values out of America.

@jimacosta.bsky.social confirms he will exit CNN after nearly two decades with the network, as we first reported last night in @status.news: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant," Acosta said.

Here we go …

Michael Fanone live on CNN: "This is what I'd say to Stewart Rhodes: Go fuck yourself"

Thou shalt not tolerate fascists. Thou shalt rip them out of thy society by root and stem.

I’ll be in DC this Saturday!

Don’t tell me shadow-banning isn’t a thing. Anyone in the pole community has encountered it (looking at you IG) and I can only imagine how much worse it is for SWers.

“But you don't have to like Blake Lively to believe she deserved to do her job without being sexualized, demeaned, insulted, and violated. We are playing into Baldoni’s hands by dithering over whether or not Lively is a perfect enough victim to support.”

I had the huge privilege of interviewing Jimmy Carter back in 2011 at his incredibly modest home in Plains, Georgia, with his wife, Rosalynn (who he bickered with in the most loving & curious way throughout the interview). An extraordinary man & legacy. RIP. www.theguardian.com/world/2011/s...

Happy Solstice!!! ☀️🌙 The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Spiritually and astrologically, this event symbolizes a powerful turning point—a time to reflect, release, and renew as we prepare to welcome the light’s gradual return.

Forget Spotify wrapped… show me your Year in Books

This is the person of the year.

Audiobooks are reading. eBooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. The cereal box? That’s reading too. Let people enjoy words however they want. 📚

For the next four years…

T.O. Off the top rope 🔥 👀

Not a drag queen.

I don’t condone violence, but I’m not stupid enough to believe it won’t get much worse for billionaires and corporate CEOs if they keep fucking us all over.

My annual Turkey Day Tradition is to tell you: Do not trust The Pilgrims. ESPECIALLY Sarah Miller.

Haha I just tried to reply “SCOTUS fucked us” and it autocorrected to “SCOTUS fucked U.S.” Yep.

Rewatching The West Wing because *gestures vaguely*. Season 2 episode 15, about 17 minutes in and Jed Bartlet discusses tariffs and why they are bad. And he should know- he’s an economist and professor emeritus at Dartmouth. 😉

I specifically asked the photographer for this edit from my recent pole photoshoot to piss off some of my more obnoxious relatives. I’m happy to report, mission accomplished.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

Got this text yesterday from a family member who was planning on voting for Trump for the third time. My mind is still blown but this honestly feels like I’ve just won an award or something.

Haven’t had one of these in 20+ years… there’s nostalgia in every bubble 🫧

Buhbye 👋🏼

Payback is a bitch. And so are we. You’re on notice. We aren’t going anywhere. We’re not hiding. We’re not being silent. But we are taking notes.

Well said.
