We’re the enemy of democracy now, in case that’s not clear.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Here’s some good news. My daughter’s band played tonight and they killed it.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

hello, weary traveler, and welcome to my e-manger. all are welcome to shelter in the replies to my jokes and start a fight with another visitor.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

"a non-partisan USPS is foundational to democracy. politicizing it is an attack on voting. we cannot have free and fair elections if one party controls the mail. this is a coup." there, i did it for you. just repeat that.

Every day there's a new insane thing that's like, well, I guess we get to find out if laws are real!

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

This just means that NEH awards have to be used to do things that are racist and transphobic. Anti-anti-racist is just racist. Anti-anti-transphobic is just transphobic.

People who spend all of their time talking at, not with, other people: why won't you engage in reasoned debate with me?

i don't care who you are, if you see shit like this you have to protest it somehow. take photos and shame institutions. deface it. piss on the floor. go complain to someone working there. they're cowards, they actually do cave if you make them visible.

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

I don't think they're going to do in person town halls anymore.

A lot of you are very fixated on doing the DiCaprio meme at the Nazi salutes, all "EVIDENCE! EVIDENCE THAT THEY REALLY ARE NAZIS!" when the evidence is pretty clear in: everything they've said and done for a decade.

Please watch this. Apparently lots of conservatives believe an AI slop video showing a 200 foot statue of Jesus being built on the Whitehouse lawn. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2P8c2jN/

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

It's a Pizza Hut that turned into a Pizza Hut

This is the energy we need. My rep did a telephone town hall. I tried to ask a question, but I think the screener thought I was too mad.

i know we all need to just internalise this and move on but i really can't get past the fact that all high-level geopolitics is now "thinking up ways to trick the world's most infantile man into believing that your agenda will make him look like the birthday boy"

Just once I want a reporter to follow up with, “Have you heard about the leopards eating peoples’ faces meme?”

This crowd doesn’t look like a bunch of leftist radicals, and they look angry.

If only we had a word for a shape with three sides.

It’s really wild how much of the country voted for the nation to be destroyed from within. Many of them seem quite happy with how it’s turning out.

I feel like Americans today need to be reminded that this was intended as an insult.

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

These losers need to be shouted down every time they open their mouths.

We can keep being surprised that "they" are not doing something, or we can force hands. We, too, can do something. Many somethings. It shouldn't be this way, no, but it is on us now. We need to rise to the occasion. At some point dwelling on incredulity becomes an excuse for not hearing the call.
