people are starting to understand my critiques of liberals now.

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO! *unless they’re a Muslim and / or one centimeter to the left of Amy Klobuchar

I know this is out of left field and a little off base here… But just a ballpark estimate, how many idioms stem from the great American pastime of baseball? I’ll take a rain check on your answers, as I’m watching the Cubs knocking it out of the park against the Astros.

Reality is way too on-the-nose

I share this both because it’s awesome and I like to sing “Retrontario“ to “retro vertigo” www.youtube.com/live/9_okmiE...

Mel Brooks produced The Elephant Man: this was his response to Paramount’s demand for changes "We are involved in a business venture. We screened the film for you, to bring you up to date as to the status of that venture. Do not misconstrue this as our soliciting the input of raging primitives."

we are celebrating now until netflix picks this up and three months from now we have an eight episode series with a script that sounds like an AI trained on max landis and the worst wigs you've ever seen in your life

Gordo by Bus Arriola, March 19 1972:

My latest: Trump said the Ayatollah "does not have to say 'THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP'" even though he saved Khamenei from "A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH." www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/trum...

DAAANG congrats!!!!

Hey, @amerrill2.bsky.social! I've been doing a rewatch of The Brak Show, and saw the episode where Brak fish-sits for his neighbor. Today, while walking across the parking lot, I saw this and started laughing, causing much consternation and confusion for those around me.

"this ice cream cannot help my despair"

My latest: Prior to Friday's ruling, legal scholars argued that if the law is upheld—as the Supreme Court did today—it could lead to other types of online speech being in danger, like information about abortion or LGBTQ rights. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/kaga...

on the other hand @teenvogue.com

My latest: Sotomayor warned a "different administration" could use today's ruling allowing Trump's anti-birthright citizenship order, to take guns away from Americans or keep them from free worship of religion, two frequent bugbears of the right. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/soto...

My latest: Florida's regulators say treating an ectopic pregnancy doesn't count as abortion. But ectopic pregnancy is not legally defined, leaving doctors unsure whether they could face five years in prison and/or the loss of their medical license. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/rep-...

My latest: The Supreme Court is expected to decide on birthright citizenship this morning. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/over...

🎵We are the Habsburg hog enthusiasm society God save heritage pigs, and all the different varieties🎵

My latest: Reps. Rick Larsen (WA) and Greg Stanton (AZ) said in an op-ed that America is heading towards another disaster on the level of 2005's Hurricane Katrina. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/demo...

New at Kittysneezes! @muleskinnerpress.net shares Apophany #7, about AI and craft. "This is the closest I will get to a public anti-AI screed. Here it goes: generative artificial intelligence could never come up with Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Hollywood Africans." kittysneezes.com/apophany-7-t...

an aside: So i'm on twitter because i have to when i'm working, just because that's where a lot of chuds still post and I need to report on it. ANYWAY: I saw that Yorgos is trending, and it's because the first look as hi s new film, "Bugonia" has come out.

My latest: Right-wing pundits say diversity rules make it harder for qualified white men to get jobs—but recent studies show if there's a class of workers companies are biased against hiring, it's still women and people of color. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/doj-...

Mamdani’s surprise primary victory, and potential triumph in the mayoral race in November, could be proof that a Democrat can win without abandoning LGBTQ2S+ people.

My latest: Today's decision could allow states to block Medicaid funding from not just Planned Parenthood but other medical providers. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/keta...

What books do you recommend to Harry Potter fans who can't stomach the author's transphobic views? www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/san-...

he's right and he's right to say it

Un-fucking-believable. Diamond does NOT own these books and toys. The publishers do. They are simply stored in the Diamond warehouse awaiting orders from retailers, orders that will now never come. So this is stolen merchandise.

Cuomo is a sexual predator, amongst worse things, and the fact the Democrats just doubled-down behind him and seem confused no one wanted him says a lot about their issues. I honestly wouldn't be shocked the they endorse whatever Republican who runs against Mamdani.

so i can't hold it in anymore: last week i watched season 1 of danganronpa... is it supposed to be good?? because i know a lot of people seem to really like it, but i was just "this is a so-bad-it's-good thing right? only it doesn't quite hit that for me?" but everything i see seems to be positive??

My latest: "People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC," @aaronblack.bsky.social wrote, sharing the video. "If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands." www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/capi...

damn what if Dem leaders fought against this as hard as they fight against a young brown guy with ideals

republicans again threatening us with a good time

My latest: The Big Beautiful Bill's cuts to Medicaid could result in as many as 24,600 additional deaths per year, according to a analysis published by the Annals of Internal Medicine. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/bern...

My latest: While Israeli officials issued a report Wednesday backing up Trump's "obliteration" claim, the UN's top nuclear watchdog was doubtful, saying no one was yet in a position to determine the damage—or even if Iran still had enriched uranium. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/near...

My latest: A majority of Americans across all demographics expected Iran to attack the U.S. in retaliation—which it did on Monday. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/near...

My latest: There is no evidence trans athletes have an advantage over cisgender athletes. The truth is, rules against transgender athletes competing is rooted in bigotry and misinformation, nothing more. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/lind...

My latest: Trump is the only president to be successfully impeached twice. Can we go for the hat trick? www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/rep-...

My latest: The law requires Catholic priests to report child abuse or neglect, even if the priest found out about said abuse while hearing confession. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/doj-...

My latest: This comes after X filed suit against a coalition of advertising companies who objected to having their ads placed next to “illegal or harmful content, such as promoting terrorism or child pornography.” www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2025/06/ftc-...
