Happy Birthday to WEB Du Bois, who wrote about the wildly important concept of psychological wages of whiteness in the first history of Reconstruction, *Black Reconstruction in America*, which he messily dedicated to his mistress, Dr. Virginia Alexander, and not his wife, Nina Gomer #BookSky

Mothers love ❤️

The 32nd Century Discovery refit and other ships with detached nacelles are the Cybertrucks of Starfleet I will not be taking questions at this time.

I don't believe in accelerationism but if that is a real thing that works we'll find out soon enough

Joe Biden spent eighteen months enabling a genocide in Occupied Palestine. That's a fact. And saying that we must ignore that fact is saying the people murdered *with our American weapons, paid for by our American tax dollars* don't matter. Saying people should have ignored a genocide is monstrous.

When three sophomores in Columbia wore keffiyehs to protest the war in Gaza, Bill Maher called them Hamas sympathizers. When Elon did the nazi salute, Maher said “He is just excitable” (not kidding) We are excusing our way into fascism

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

The Democratic Party needs new leadership—not just lip service to big, bold ideas, but a genuine ideological commitment to achieving them.

Even though I am going through an insane rough patch, it’s nearly impossible for me to feel depression when I am doing wheel throwing. Every single part of my brain is focused on the clay. It’s been a bright spot in my life.

They pretend to be centers of learning, wisdom and freedom, but the reality is that major universities have multi-billion-dollar endowments and leaders who make seven figures. They're businesses.

Weekend reading. From @peterbeinart.bsky.social.

“Don’t criticize my friends” is the weakest argument for the poor state of American journalism

PIZZA POPPA!

There is a documentary about a Christian cat cult online. A+ escapism

I will never stop being me. Trying to post how I think people WANT me to post sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Overhead at the bar @jordanuhl.com's wedding: "Where's @kenklippenstein.bsky.social?" "I know him from Twitter. I want to meet him."

I am but one person, but what I want from Democrats is for them to be obstructionist assholes. That's it. I can accept that they cannot "do anything." I cannot accept that they are unable to stop other people from getting anything done in a timely fashion.

People on Twitter complaining about lower engagement on Bluesky is a specific kind of influencer culture brain rot because I’m like my sibling in Christ the numbers aren’t real

Those in power from both parties who couldn’t find the courage to stand up to Netanyahu will not find the courage to stand up to President Trump and the oligarchs.

Bernie dropping a tour announcement like he's Kendrick is taking me out. (Love that for him and us though.)

Having a crappy day but someone told me “You have eyes like Eva Green” so it just got better

Liberals: "Sure the Democratic party, liberal thinktanks and activist orgs deliberately do everything in their power to marginalise and undermine the left but it's absurd to say liberals are the ones holding the left back."

Exactly. Musk is an evil, sociopathic piece of shit, to be sure, but he’s also bone-stupid. Extraordinarily dumb. Like Trump, his main superpower is shamelessness to an almost surreal level.

I've long said that people are sentenced to judicial rape when sentenced to prison or jail. Most people are ok with this.

'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

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

Reading my old posts on the Netflix-Marvel shows has me so excited and scared for the pure Marvel versions. Because Marvel has the perfect opportunity to jettison the problems found in the old work while keeping (most of) the actors. Will they? (I want a biracial Danny and I will die on that hill.)

I'll repeat that what is destroyed, makes way for new and better things.

Shoutout to Gundam Build Divers, the first anime I ever wrote closed captions for.

Depending on people to be brave is not a good strategy.

"We're too sensitive. We need to purge wokeness from our movement" Bro you lose your shit and call everyone a woke scold if a minority explains to you why racism is bad. Rather than listen you got annoyed

Wise man…

I happen to know a little about product safety. Something to consider as they slash all regulations. 99% of fire extinguishers submitted for testing don’t contain the right chemicals to put out a fire. just one of 1 billion examples I can give you about why regulations keep you alive.

I don't believe a single person who pretends they aren't fully aware that Israel is a white supremacist ethno State

Perhaps the single biggest reason Democrats lost in November—more than an ACLU questionnaire, the border, or inflation—is one the party’s top brass still refuses to grasp.

Billionaires and their accomplices keep consolidating power with narrow political victories due to poor voter turnout. Don't give Elon Musk stooges like Doug Ford or Javier Milei or Donald Trump an inch! Spread the word and help fight the growing oligarchy www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM7N...

They’re looting the government—stealing your data, consolidating power, and lining the pockets of the wealthy. Stop covering it like it’s some principled libertarian reform.

Writing the first issue of the next big series you’ll see from me. Look for it this summer.

Seattle #TeslaTakedown They closed the store.

In the first two years of Biden’s presidency, Democrats controlled the House and Senate, yet couldn’t pass voting rights, raise the minimum wage, or the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. “But Manchin & Sinema!” They did the bidding of their donors.

Still made without the use of AI

Democrats should all start making the jerk off motion when asked about anything Trump-related, just to see how it gets described. “Controversial gesture that suggests self-pleasuring”

Racists working in entertainment desperately trying to explain away the global popularity of diversity in art by saying it's not diversity is extremely funny to me. Their bitterness due having to include us to make money is off the charts.
