“IT IS NORMAL FOR HUMAN BRAINS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER” thank you Mariah.

A thing press institutions REALLY need to internalize is that 1000x more people will see the headline than read the article. If the headline leaves a false impression, but the article sets it straight, it doesn’t matter. You are spreading misinformation.

Modeling strategy scenarios find the most effective ways to resist the Insurrection Act include (1) Refusal; (2) Resistance; and (3) Ridicule, aka leaning into being complete cringe dorks.

This is literally how the Holocaust started, and honestly I'm tired of saying so

This week’s episode is Department of State v. Munoz, where the Court held that the government doesn’t have to tell you why your spouse isn’t allowed to enter the country.

O my brother, my husband, friend, high priest, your heart shall not be weary by means of drink, eat, drunkenness, and lust. Celebrate the holiday, follow your heart day and night, do not place care into your heart, value the years spent on earth. (Biography of Taimhotep) (WWO)

1) Once you start seriously talking "deporting" (that is: forcibly exiling/imprisoning/disappearing) citizens, you are unequivocally fascists &, thus, the baddies. 2) fuck you to any &every single person who said that people concerned about the rise of fascism in the US were overreacting. And 3)…

“lmao fat = gross” and “lmao gay = gross” both suck shit stop doing it signed, a fat gay

This should be the norm.

adobe being bullied off of this site is exactly how we need to treat every corporation that considers joining

That stuff I've been saying about intersectional, multi-front coalitions? Thus thread shows in detail what those have looked like in the past.

...oh... he chose which paintings to put in the office based on the frames, didn't he.

Haven't heard of #ProjectEsther? It's effectively a 30ish page addendum to #Project2025, detailing how to falsely cast pro-Palestine protesters as Hamas supporters & antisemites, and gain control over colleges &universities. www.axios.com/2025/03/25/p...

This Court considered it an egregious abuse of executive power for Biden to modify student loan payments based on a statute authorizing the executive branch to "waive or modify" student loan payments

At most, if we are being generous, that "dire wolf" announcement amounts to something like this.

In Divisive Move, Democrats Put Books Back in Libraries Liberal Activists Say Women Should Be Allowed to Wear Shoes Again. It's Not That Simple In This Steeltown Diner, the Ashes of the Purged Would Tell Us One Thing If They Were Alive: Keep Trans Players Out of Frisbee Golf

Watters really has an extensive list of things that either make you more or less of a man, and it seems like a good question to ask WHY he has this long, very detailed list with him at all times.

It's dangerous to go alone into the timeline full of The Horrors™️. Take this: #CatBreak #CatsofBluesky

Don’t remember where I saw this library flyer a while back but it’s great

My tl;dr: - no demographic is a monolith - more people have intersectional concerns than are obvious & you don't know which of those guides their choices - purity tests are foolish when the opposition is full of Christofascists who want us in camps - don't be a dick to helpers 💜

the gun is always loaded there's a fed in every chat your phone's a beacon telling every cop right where you're at your bluesky feed is archived and your twitch they're watching live so watch your mouth in public if your ass plans to survive.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

The people complaining that Cory Booker’s speech was performative are the same ones hoping to go viral for having the funniest sign at a protest.

baseball beginning again means I need to add the dot org when I search balls and strikes

Improbably, this program is still up and running—I emailed a request on 3/21 and I just got a FedEx notif to expect a delivery from HHS on Monday! Tl,dr—if you have neighbors, colleagues, service workers, etc, who’ll help take 300 (or more!) Covid tests off your hands, HHS will send ’em. For free!

A shorter version of my thread: for chrissakes can we pay attention to what fascism does instead of what it says? No, Trump isn’t trying stupidly and failing to revive U.S. industry. He’s trying quite effectively to burn it down so he can rule the ashes. Seriously. That’s the plan.

They defunded schools at the same time they rolled back child labor laws…

I sure hope the next time there's an election the Democrats' messaging is less "America needs a strong Republican Party" and more "these corrupt idiots have driven the country off a cliff every single time they've gotten power in living memory."

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

Also, please memorize this: "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." That, "am I free to leave?", and identifying yourself in stop-and-ID states are the only things you should ever say to police. Ever.

Oh my god… this is real. www.kron4.com/news/propose...

what makes humans great is that of all the species to ever live we invented subsistence farming and then immediately invented everything else we ever did in order to not have to do subsistence farming

And people keep asking why I moved away…

Thank you for this. I have already shared it to friends

So many GOP governors are just mustache-twirlingly corrupt

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

“Going forward, the department will be led by a board mostly appointed by the Republican governor. The new law, which passed with the support of police unions, also requires St. Louis to commit 25 percent of its budget to policing by 2028.”

If the US survives Trump, it will need post-war Europe level rebuilding.

I used to tell student organizers that one thing they had going for them was "everybody loves students." It used to be that criticism of student protest was typically good-natured, even friendly. That's no longer true, and "Free Speech Warriors" telling endless lies is a big reason why.

10:50 a.m.: WisDems issue a press release saying Elon Musk "committed a blatant felony" in his post about his plans to "hand over two checks for a million dollars each" in Wisconsin on Sunday. Just over a half hour later, reports show Musk deleted the tweet.

I knew Steve Harvey was an asshole who cheats on all his wives and hates gay people, but there are some real big mask of sanity slips in his relationship advice for women book.
