Republicans say they’re targeting just criminals and gang members. Bullsh*t. They’re targeting anyone who “looks illegal," and it will only get worse. They need to make their 3,000 a day quota no matter what. #MAGAKidnappers

We rely on game cams to capture important data on elusive species like black-footed cats. That "data" also happens to include adorable kitten play sessions 😍

The number of people arguing with this number because “Alt National Park Service said it was 11 million” is kind of staggering to me. Folks, Alt NPS is not real, okay? None of the “alt” accounts are. They don’t have special knowledge. They pulled that number out of thin air/their ass

Say it for the back row: THEY DON’T THINK

#NoKings march in Denver, Colorado

Rule of thumb: if there’s more people in the parade than there are people watching the parade, it’s not a successful parade.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

I would feel sorry for almost literally anyone else, but not this toasted buffoon; let him sulk with his fascist peanut gallery of pissy losers, every member of which would rather be scrolling on their phone right now.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

I spoke today at the No Kings rally in Colorado Springs. When our country was founded, we rejected the idea of a king. Now that we have a tyrant president who is trying to seize more singular control over us, we must proclaim the power of the people will always be greater than the people in power.

UPDATE: Organizers are accusing the president of putting on the parade as a show of dominance. The protests were peaceful, but came against the backdrop of assassinations in Minnesota.

It makes me really really happy that Trump's bullshit was empty as fuck. Even happier that the protests had a cumulative 5 million people, official count, which means there were even more people who maybe couldn't make it but were doing something else in support. That's some damn good news today.

I told you we’d be back

Did I hear someone say that a cat would never go down a slide for fun? Surprise!

Our goal for June is still send Space Pride designs to all 50 states! Here is where we have shipped orders so far. Please repost & tag a friend from a state we still need to fill in! shop.startorialist.com/collections/...

On the Trump-Musk feud, @aoc.bsky.social: “Oh man, the girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

Absolute TRUTH!

And THIS is why we don’t privatize this shit, thank you.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

My cousin @pixelpoot.bsky.social sent this to me - which says a lot about both her & me. "An almost 200-year-old condom has just gone on display at an exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It features an explicit print representing a nun and three clergymen." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Omg I love this so much! 😂

Fascinating and so very depressing.

oh cool another DUI hire

I have mostly not talked about this a ton because I did not want to deal with people's shitty baggage, but in December I started taking a GLP-1 (mounjaro) for reasons unrelated to my long covid symptoms & the inflammation reduction changed my entire fucking life. I started breathing & sleeping again

remember in 2008 when people just walked away from homes when they couldn't afford the loans any longer

I laughed out loud.

Deranged Trump is now putting a 100% tariff on movies made outside the US.

June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This is how you make America sicker, not healthier. Trump is cancelling almost a BILLION dollars in grants to clean up poisonous pollution, get rid of lead in drinking water and other projects that help protect the health of our families. Despicable. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Trump’s first 100 days:   DOGE cuts. Fired Veterans. SignalGate. Trade wars. Higher grocery bills. Social Security benefits at risk. Deported citizens. Economy tanked.   This is no golden age for America.   It's a shitshow.

He *wants* to use the military against Americans. But they aren't supposed to obey illegal orders. The question is will they hold

This doesn't feel like freedom.

🚨 The Liberal Party will lead Canada's next government. CBC just called it; too early to know if it'll be a majority or minority government. "A stunning reversal," says the CBC: Conservatives led by *huge* margins throughout 2024, but Trump's arrival was a big factor in changing everything.
