I've been shown what purports to be a draft version of a soon to be released Executive Order reorganizing the State Dept. The chain of custody is a bit indirect and it's important to be clear that there can be many versions of such orders circulating and they can be subject to subsequent edits etc.

This line is catching on among the conservative influencers: unless SCOTUS backs down, Trump will be forced to suspend the constitution and declare the US a dictatorship, and it'll be all their fault.

Meroitic civilization was a contemporary of ancient Rome but gets far less attention. I love this polychromatic relief of “Prince Arikankharer Slaying his Enemies” from the Worcester Art Museum (📸 by me) in MA. Definitely follow read Solange Ashby’s work for more. nelc.ucla.edu/person/solan...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.

Well, my parents are LGBTQ+, so they raised me right. But I also had out trans friends in middle and high school. Easy to care, since I knew trans people were people and therefore deserved rights. I only started doing more extensive research as the attacks on trans rights ramped up though.

Seeing that some of the never Trumper’s are further left than the entirety of the Democratic establishment is making me laugh and realize how deeply fucked up the Democratic Party is at the national level. Most of America is ready to rumble but Chuck Schumer would rather make deals with the fascists

obviously screeching about trans people's genitals at deafening volume on every public platform available to you is hateful, cruel and dangerous but we must always remember the equally important fact that it is also HUGE loser behavior

If literally everyone did this, or even a majority of people, there would be no fascism. Not no fascists, but they could not take power if radical kindness and joy prevailed.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

No, Mr. Trump. We won't allow you to pay for tax breaks to billionaires by eliminating Head Start which provides early education to over 800,000 children and LIHEAP that keeps seniors and families warm in the winter. Your budget proposal is morally obscene. It must be defeated.

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.
