A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

🔥🔥🔥 now that all the guard dogs are gone. Will the system hold? ONLY our democracy at stake.

I don't know what anybody else is doing tomorrow. I'll be cleaning out the fridge, canning sweet potatoes, and maybe making some chili. Not necessarily in that order. I do know what I'm not doing. 😁

If you’ve already grown tired of my making comparisons to Hitler, I suggest you unfollow me now. Because, girl, we are just getting started.

More than 65,000 North Carolinians — disproportionately Black voters and Democrats — were forced to cast provisional ballots this year. Under new rules, the window of time for voters to fix errors will be slashed from 9 days to just 3. boltsmag.org/north-c...

It’s weird how all those bible thumping Christian’s for 45 and Republicans hypocrites never say a single word about all of these sick pigs but God forbid a trans person wants to use a bathroom.

Who's ready for Thanksgiving? Spent all day making cheesy garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potato pound cake with browned butter glaze, and deviled eggs. To make tomorrow: Turkey cottage pie (that's where the cheesy garlic mash goes). The rest is up to the kids. It's their turn.

I can’t say this sarcastically enough: we are so fortunate to be moving into the christofascist phase of our devolution because there would be no better place to entrust our children than with the people who encourage and harbor predators and pedophiles. 🧵 www.threads.net/@antifaopera...

It's hard not to see the assault on education by tech and AI as another way to create an ignorant public that's willing to vote in fascism and give free rein to the billionaire class

Big trump truck spotted in the wild in its natural environment... seeking gender-affirming care for small penis.

If you needed more proof Trump wants to destroy Medicare and Medicaid, look no further than the fact he wants Dr. Oz to be in charge of it all.
