It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

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

My roommate reminded me that this Bush era song existed and is- unfortunately- still VERY relevant.

Bostonians, if you see Nazis, you know what to do

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

It's also part of a longer historical pattern of extrajudicial violence encouraged by right wing politicians since the 1970s. George Tiller, a doctor who provided late term abortions in Wichita, was assassinated in 2009 while in church.

The NYPD and our criminal mayor accidentally Brady violating this guy out of a conviction because they can’t stop publicity hounding would absolutely be the most fitting end to the entire saga.

One aspect of doing a political purge of the military and civil service is you can't come back in afterwards and just revert to status quo ante policies. A counter-purge becomes a necessity before you can then restore usual norms and protections. The people he's installing can't be left in place.

huge if true

Beware the VTOLciraptor.

My siblings and I will refer to each other as “BROTHER!” and “SISTER!” In our best booming “hearty knight” voices. Sometimes add a “ho!” In there. “Ho brother!” “Ho sister! How goes it?” (My parents have a ton of their own, mostly stolen from comedy bits from before I was born.)

I am cry-howling

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked, the insurance giant decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. (Published Feb. 2023)

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

I didn’t manage to catch her looking at me upside down

Still need to get this met very badly…

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

She was asleep, but me getting up to photograph woke her up.

Live to see them die

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you king. Calling yourself Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico makes you Joshua Norton I, first and only of his lineage, and the only good king in human history.

that Spider-Men pointing at each other meme but every western country pointing at each other's far-right movements

it’s real nice that there was such a public outcry for the parks, they’re a national treasure, it is understood, and there will be backtracking apparently but where is this outcry for trans people? we too are a national treasure, we deserve the same passion and verve. we are worth fighting for.

GRR Martin famously attacked Tolkien for not explaining Aragorn’s tax policy. But Martin also doesn’t logically explain anyone’s tax policy. I demand someone write a fantasy which gets to grips with the realities of premodern tax economics

They blink a lot. They lose in court too. They are even feeling some pressure from within the party. Things are bad, but not hopeless.

In fact, Terrible Man Theory has a much higher success rate than Great Man Theory.

The longer they "privately panic" and publicly go along, the more they'll reshape their beliefs and perceptions to align with their actions, just to rationalize what they're doing and resolve the dissonance. That's the pernicious thing about rationalization: the most mutable variable is yourself.

I struggle to understand the people who refuse to acknowledge that even if you’ve been oppressed the whole time, it is possible for the oppression to get worse and it’s reasonable for people to be concerned about that
