*alien bursts through my chest *alien looks around *alien gets back in my chest

News like today is why I don't believe in conspiracies. People are far, far too stupid to keep secrets

That JB Pritzker sounds relevatory reflects how far a whole generation of Democratic politicians strayed from the absolute basics of electoral politics: say what you mean, act like you sincerely like your constituents, and don't constantly bring up how much you like and agree with your opponents.

This fountain in L'Aquila was designed to look like it's pouring lava for a brief time each day when the sun hits it at just the right angle.

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

I really need people who insist Elon was relatively normal prior to like 5 or 6 years ago to explain the time he called a rescue expert a pedophile because he wouldn’t let Elon send drones in to help rescue some children stuck in a cave

I thought the apocalypse would be way cooler this is horrible

I always knew there were a lot of evil folks out there. I just didn't think the world contained this many cowards.

We break down how social media algorithms are designed to keep us angry and engaged.

I’m sorry. America deserves all the mockery it’s ever gotten. Our elections are literally decided by who can make fast food “healthier” without any real change or compromise.

Trying to make sure this video permeates black algorithm spaces so pls share if you haven't already youtu.be/chNl9fzE_nc?...

This level of self delusion needs to be disqualifying in opposition leadership. That party is dead, Dems crying for it to come back is how we got here. Continuing to entertain this level of delusion will kill the Democratic Party.

You hate Disney live action remakes cuz you hate women and minorities I hate Disney live action remakes cuz I hate shallow appeals to nostalgia and the framing of animation as a lesser medium, we are not the same

A complete list of institutions that seem to actually understand what this moment demands: -Public libraries -Indie bookstores -Costco

It's going to get far worse in America. People still aren't prepared. Take care of yourselves, your families, and your communities. Best bulwark is your local community. Start there.

I know we Black folks have vowed to step back because our white brothers and sisters decided to elect Trump again, but uh, I don't think White America is built to combat this current administration.

We gotta do the community things this spring and summer, y'all. I'm here for bartering. Pay me in oui'd. Can we trade skills and knowledge?

We’ve never had to contend with a determined autocrat in this country, and it shows.

Again, any time a Republican says we have to slash Medicaid to fix the deficit, they need to be asked why we shouldn’t just increase taxes on the rich. It’s a zero sum game. Make them defend giving more money to billionaires over keeping ordinary people healthy.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Never forget Megan thee Stallion threw the first brick at Drake

If you’re in line for Beyoncé, stay in line.

I’m too deep in the trenches to look back now. Beyoncé or bust. Imma still fight capitalism but this is personal. 😩😭

I just wanna say to people stop buying these damn Beyoncé tickets and not knowing no songs 🤣 I went to Renaissance in ATL and none of the section knew half of the songs 😅 just wasting space 🤣

Does #Beyhive Math... MetLife stadium seats 82,000... there's 11, 500 people in front of me. You can buy a maximum of 4 tickets. That's 46,000 tickets sold ahead of my place in the queue. Over a million units sold. 12 cities. 16 carriages. 35 Grammys. 15 the innocence had gone astray. #Beyonce

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

hey karma you can step in at any time now

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

we should have cut off a lot of things like meta, spotify, amazon etc a long while ago, they’ve always been bad, but something about the circumstances under which it’s happening feels so bleak

Call your congressional members. Call your legislators. The time is now. Flood their communication channels and hold their feet to the fire.

Call your Reps: Two Senators & a Congressperson. Doesn't matter what party they are in. Put their number in your phone. Seriously you can do it every day. "I'm from [zip code] and I don't want this." Waiting in line for a coffee? Call. About to reply to a post? Call. www.congress.gov/contact-us

I called my senators dc office. They’re answering the phones. I recommend each of you call yours!

I just called my Congressman and told him to oppose Trump's nominees and fight his EO's, y'all should do the same thing too.

Several Quaker groups, including one in Philadelphia, are suing the Department of Homeland Security after President Donald Trump’s administration rescinded guidance preventing ICE agents from raiding houses of worship.

The wrecking ball to academia + social services; the unconstitutional executive orders designed to result in a crony-filled Supreme Court nullifying the power of Congress; the rise of AI sold as an automating god to be operated by oligarchs. These things are not unrelated.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

[mouth way too close to mic] go birds

Pick your focus and stick with it. We cannot fight in all fronts or we will become overwhelmed. But we can all peel off a corner in our area of expertise and begin to reveal effective strategies for resisting the chaos. Every single one of us has something to offer.
