Seeing helicopter video of a solo protester get attacked by cops on horseback reminds me... whether you're a journalist or protester always have a battle buddy. Have at least one person who is there with you and is devoted to knowing where you are. I've been doing this for 20 years and I still do.

True story bro.

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

DNC leaders are acting like they’re in some sort of Shakespearean tragedy: www.politico.com/news/2025/06... Meanwhile, oh, there’s actual work to be done:

File under "No shit, sherlock."

The Pink Triangle is up & gleaming on Twin Peaks for Pride Month! It reminds us of the treatment of gay men during the Holocaust: Forced to wear it in concentration camps, like Jews & the yellow Star of David. We now own the Pink Triangle, turning a symbol of oppression into a symbol of liberation

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

I have never studied as hard for anything as I do for the German driver's license theory test.

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

It means "Stalinist", and if you are actually asking why being a Stalinist is bad and wrong, well... you've got some bigger issues.

This morning, Democrats moved to subpoena Elon musk to answer to the American people. Instead of standing with us, Republicans scrambled for 30 mins to shut down debate and protect Musk.

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.

Twice over. He is no ally.

Not all heroes wear capes, but all heroes refuse to obey illegal instructions from fascists.

Nothing says “secure masculinity” like changing the name of a boat because it’s named after a gay man.

Not telling Matt anything he doesn't know, but: the response to "threats in women's sports" is nearly identical to how fundies react to "threats of sexual abuse in church". They blame outsiders, demonize people from other ways of life, all while ignoring the real threats of abuse: men in leadership

You don't say...

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

I disagree: absolutely do not scrub your reddit, it provides me with wildly entertaining material to use when writing about your candidacy when you don't scrub your reddit.

Ugly. But also not surprising in the least. localmess.github.io

It’s a small thing, but I’m amused at the sprouting mango seed. I know it won’t fruit. And it may not survive the summer. But, the improvised covering is helping it succeed.

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

Love to see a community come together when ICE Nazis show up to their neighborhood and send them packing ….👏👏👏👏 South Park neighborhood of San Diego

This is bad

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS *because* they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white. Well. Just think about that.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

Remember when he said he was supposedly "leaving" Twitter/X? Everything they say is a Lie. EVERYTHING.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.
