“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

it would probably be good for blue state governors to start openly talking about their plans to protect citizens if and when Trump deploys the military domestically I have been arguing there needs to be a pro-democracy pro-Constitution govt. in exile for this reason We need a counter to the regime

If this happened in a foreign country we’d call it a purge

I’m so fucking mad. Just watched a youtube video on the top 10 most iconic animal sounds that ranked ‘oink’ higher than ‘quack’. What the fuck

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

If the media won’t call it a Nazi salute then they’re definitely not going to say that someone was fired because they are Black or a woman. These outlets are complicit.

You gotta practice living in the moment. Because a huge thing that will help these guys untimely win is all of us being an anxious wreck all the time.

if you ever get more followers on social media than your mayor you automatically become the mayor

The proof that humor is an expression of intelligence lies in the high number of idiots it infuriates.

so, they caught the guy who kicked you in the nuts on national tv. but everyone thinks he was right to do it. and hot

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.

The Democratic Party is *so* fucking bad at this. TELL PEOPLE WHY THIS IS INSANE AND DANGEROUS. Don't just describe that 'this will make life harder.' That makes it seem like this is just a *policy* difference, rather than violating Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution!

I just don’t see how an Executive Order saying Mike Love was the real genius in the Beach Boys could be legally binding

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

they should really teach a class on alt-text

INVENTOR OF THE HOT POCKET: in 1978 on a family trip to naples, italy, i accidentally placed a hot charcoal brick in my mouth

you know the tide is starting to turn with these people when you're hearing this kind of shit

Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

There’s something happening in this country.

it is really notable the extent to which state Dems have been significantly better than federal Dems at telling Trump to go fuck himself

Why does Elon Musk want Russia to win?

Someday people will forget that not everything in every store was behind a stupid locked cabinet that you have to hunt down an employee to open. You used to just be able to go to Walmart and toss a Nintendo controller into your cart with the Chex mix. It was called shopping and it was great

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.
