The woke mob is mean to me. But, I’m not panicked—because I bought gold from Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

Me checking my daily "Woody Allen dead" news alert email.

This makes me physically ill.

WARREN: If 700,000 Americans lose their jobs because of these tariffs, will the Trump administration suspend these tariffs? GREER: That's not going to happen WARREN: I take that as a no

It's also like not only are you not going to get bananas or coffee or whatever, but a ton of businesses with products you like will simply go under because their profit margins were too slim. This will mean a massive wipeout of competition and centralization of the market.

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

Again, impeachable actions by the minute. For example, the President of the United States bragging that he is extorting law firms.

this is just a level of sickness that i don’t think any society can come back from

Trump's official White House photographer continues to befuddle me. This is basically a poster for a MAGA horror movie.

I grew up around coal miners. For 16 years I was related to many by marriage, including some suffering from black lung and others whose bodies were either broken or on their way to being broken. None of them wanted that life for their kids and those still in it all wanted out. He's a fucking idiot.

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing 1st Amendment.

South of Midnight’s art book is a work of art itself

BTW we just got polling showing that overall people disapprove tariffs 30-58, while union households actually disapprove them by an even higher margin of 24-65

Absolute cinema

the market is up 1,000 points on hopes of a tariff deal that everyone in charge is telling us is never coming

We might feel a LITTLE bit strongly about the importance of libraries. Luckily, there’s a week for that! Now’s time to yell about your love for libraries from the rooftops. Tell your friends to get a QLL membership (or donate if ya can!) Head to queerliberationlibrary.org/members to sign up! 📚🌈

young people, i urge you to stop watching anime. it is liable to have a corrosive effect on your developing brain. you must instead study the great texts of western civilization: The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and so forth

I have a trans student who wrote to 2 individual Canadian unis to ask if they could apply late and quickly—both said yes and they got into both. They’re headed off to graduate school in the fall and I couldn’t be prouder or more relieved for their escape from the US.

These are Designer Wolves not Dire Wolves. Dire Wolves have not been “successfully de-extincted” or “resurrected”. Dire Wolves (Aenocyon dirus) are a not just a different species, but an entirely different genus than grey wolves (Canis lupus). Edited grey wolf DNA is still a grey wolf.

Again, this is how you know the whole DOGE thing is absolute bullshit. We’re apparently on the brink of financial ruin at all times when it comes to Social Security or healthcare or college in this country while simultaneously there’s infinite money when it comes to war.

He did it again bsky.app/profile/hous...

I know this is fucking stupid, but like... destroying the global economy with zero forethought about how it will impact anyone because you think it makes you look strong screams A Man Did This. So, yeah, I guess it is manly.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

"I had polio at age 4. You don't want it."

Beyond parody.

#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

roberts et al have divined the Actual Intent of the constitution, which is to allow the government to exercise nearly unaccountable power to strip people of their rights. it is why we fought the revolution!

probably not the entire Neo-fascist moment, but large parts of it, could have been strangled in it's crib by taking the law seriously when it came to rich people and right wing politicians, rather than pearl-clutching about slippery slopes or the appearance of impropriety.

would love for some journalist to get Netanyahu's take on Trump's understanding of the Holocaust ...

you know things are going well when they break out the turnip photos

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

I’m sure that’ll help the situation

less than ten trans women tried to play collegiate sports and now the car dealership class gets to crash the global economy and set up sweatshops in the midwest

Well Millennials, despite living through nothing but unprecedented times & being unable to retire, at least we can take solace in the fact none of us were old enough to vote for Reagan. Although some of y'all voted for his stupider, malevolent orange heir & that is arguably worse. 🔥🫠🔥

"I bought the bulletproof, post-apocalyptic warlord fantasy truck, but I've had to stop driving it because I can't take the bullying from Subaru drivers anymore" is the kind of poetry that might just save our society

now see all clouds really DO have a silver lining

"DOGE is eliminating the government's tape backups because they're too stupid to know why they're important" is the generous interpretation, when what they might actually be doing is stealing all the money and trying to destroy the records of them doing so.

they’ve got the barstool sports guy libposting we are unbelievably cooked

Elon is so fucking stupid that he can't even tell when he and Trump are being made fun of

the stock exchange…of ideas 😎
