Just clarifying, though this is not difficult to grasp: Anyone working on an industry project with a notorious transphobic bigot is OK with transphobic bigotry. The end.

As an employer of 17 people that has helped create wealth and prosperity in the state, I'm very disappointed by the capricious and far reaching impact of the recent tariffs. We need help. @timwalzparody.bsky.social @bettymccollum04.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @ilhanmn.bsky.social

We literally defeated the British in the revolutionary war for exactly what Trump and the fascists within the Republican party are now doing to us. It’s our duty as Americans of good conscience to fight the forces of fascism back and stop this through whatever means necessary.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

The US as a nation, and Americans as people, will never ever hinder, harm or curb a rich white man. For decades, it has pandered to this demographic at the cost of all others. And the resulting impunity is what you are witnessing here--in its most extreme form.

It’s very clear that there’s a coordinated effort between transnational fascist leaders to not just undermine rule of law, but wholesale destroy the constitution and our right to free speech as well as our right to not be thrown in a fascist blacksite for protest. American democracy is dead.

Just finished some meetings and opened bluesky to a wall of terrifying news about the US President telling a foreign government to build prisons for US citizens. I turned on msnbc radio, and they are discussing that "space flight" today by Katy Perry et al. What are we doing here??

extremely tired of the argument that vague liberal gestures toward solidarity with trans people (of which the worst one can say is ‘mostly unhelpful’) are at fault for the current virulence of the transphobic project. the reason is targeted propaganda laundered by mainstream media. and lobbying

It’s been lost in the tariff news but the fact that the U.S. government can accuse you of a crime and send you to an El Salvadoran prison without trial, is legitimately scarier than the most hyperbolic claims of fascism made by the left during the election.

In any functioning democracy the elimination of an extant department that protects children from lead poisoning would be a game ender for the entire administration under which it occurred. I’ll expect a strong statement from Chuck Schumer and some fundraising texts.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Nine big law firms have committed to nearly $1 BILLION in "free" legal work for Trump in exchange for nothing more than the ability to keep doing the ordinary legal work they do. As he puts it, they "paid me." We've all been focused on the bribe; but pay attention to the war chest.

If pharmaceutical tariffs happen a lot of people will die, and many more will be sickened or disabled. You CAN'T separate this shit from the fact that Trump, Musk, and RFK Jr have all proudly espoused eugenicist beliefs.

RIP William Finn. I had this album on vinyl as a child. I listened to this album and this song in particular 100s and 100s of times. My heart goes out to everyone of my friends who knew him and worked with him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yocu...

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️ Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

I have tears in my eyes as I think about the lack of humanity that has led to this. "Inconsistent with the Administration's priorities". Humanity is this country is done. We are an empty shell of what promise we might have had at some point.

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

Protests are powerfully for a number of reasons, solidarity, hope, optimism, etc But more importantly they give people permission to act and continue to grow into actions that are diverse and far ranging in scope and scale. Giving people the chance to find their own permission to act is good.

sadly, i think we are going to keep seeing (rightly) injunctions against this administration and it will be interesting to see when and if people realize they are not going to abide by them and what happens afterwards. I think the afterwards is the difference between a democracy and hell.

it really is a mindfuck to watch the US version of Queer As Folk right now. This could never be on TV right now. Queer rights are human rights. Trans rights are human rights.
