Still thinking about the Rest Is History series laying out how the founding fathers were tax-dodging expansionist enslavers with no respect for the British Parliament, and therefore, at their core, far more royalist in their approach than the British. And here we are.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

I appreciate that APM reporters keep hammering the literacy beat. They’ve done so much to get rid of the Lucy Calkins curriculum that let millions of kids down.

The flight attendants union has always been bad-ass. Founded and led by women subjected to the worst creeps and lecherous bullies in the “golden age” of flight. They know exactly who we’re dealing with.

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

We got our child a National Parks “passport” for her 9th birthday, because fourth-graders in the U.S. get a free pass for themselves and their families. So much for that.

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

Calling it “Gulf of America” is like when Van Halen didn’t want brown M&Ms backstage. It’s a test to see who is following the instructions. In Trump’s case, it is to see who will tolerate more and bigger steps towards Trump’s authoritarianism.

Really hoping environmental groups stop celebrating their work killing bills to build affordable housing! If California can't build more housing and calm anxieties about cost of living, environmentalists will never regain influence over the federal government - and continue to lose it in CA.

20+ years ago, I went to the home of a couple in rural Laos who had lost 5 of their 7 children to malaria the year before. What do you even do with such loss. I was glad the language barrier covered my incomprehension.
