My humble goal is to spend hours tonight reading. People who can never find time to read, the secret is there are times you decide you're going to be reading.

Oh, I have never wanted to survive that shit. I want to barely have the time to register the flash.

Your heart breaks for this woman and so many like her, like us. To be at that age and terrified of what will happen to you because your President doesn't care if you live or die. Makes me so angry 😤. She deserves better, we all deserve better.

Trump and Miller going more insane than usual means the protests are working. They thought the public would cower in fear of morons wearing camo in the middle of a city and instead they got flipped off and shown asses

My comrades in the Radical Poster Collective made this badly photoshopped picture.

Love a good citation

IMAGINE MAKING A FUCKING SIGN LIKE THAT. I know her dumbass thought “this gon hit!”

Do you want lower rates of "crime"? Do you want increased childhood development and well-being? Do you want lower rates of homelessness? Do you want to reduce overdose deaths? Do you want these things cheaper than ever? Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

Riots and community defense did this

OMG, it was educational. He had to listen to something he does not care about at all. Magnificent.

This is really a post for Bluesky, the western feminist headquarters

Live your life so millions of your fellow citizens don't take to the streets to tell you to go fuck yourself on your birthday.

No Kings Day!!

I’m at the Pride parade I’m at the protest march I’m at the combination Pride parade and protest march

I hear some of you don’t trust the police anymore. Welcome, the water’s fine, the ice breaker’s in an hour, we have free cupcakes on Tuesdays

No King’s Day isn’t a stunt. It’s a reminder that this country was built to reject kings, not bow to them. We didn’t trade a monarchy for a movement obsessed with obedience and fear.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

I don't know if this will achieve anything, but hello people in the Waterloo, WI area, particularly anyone who has a PO box there! The handmade Mother's Day gift I sent to my mom has gone missing. If you took it, whether accidentally or on purpose, please give it back to the post office. Thanks! ✌️

I'm going to take a swing at rating all of your A.I. generated logos, posters, merch, etc. in one post. Phew, let's see if I can pull this off. Okay, here I go. They suck ass. Zero stars. Pay artists, you insufferable dweebs.

ranked choice should have one additional box that just says "no fuckin way" and it counts for negative two votes

It is literally going to take smoke rising from the stacks of giant ovens in concentration camps for some people to realize things have gone awry, but even then many won't care, or think "well, they probably deserved it."

The world remains beautiful even with evil afoot

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Shout out to migraines for reminding me that even though I don't drink anymore I can still wake up with a headache that feels like my skull is both exploding and caving in at the same time.

relevant

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Happy Saturday!

I really hope the creators of King of The Hill as well as Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, and other names from Parks & Rec use their voices to honor Jonathan Joss and use their power to bring to light the horrendous hate crime that happened to him during Pride. So often, Natives are forgotten.

I somehow missed this last year! How beautiful! www.southernfriedscience.com/the-story-of...

It’s pride month so remember to NEVER minimize your gayness to make someone else comfortable! The world has never turned down its straightness so get out there and be loud 💅🏼

FUN FACT: Lindsey Graham can't swim, but over half the male sex workers he hires can.

A few notible things about the real Robert Galbraith He used African-American prisoners as test subjects He experimented on schizophrenic patients, causing seizures and fatal brain abscessess. He experimented with "curing" homosexuality Picking his name in particular was a huge red flag.

👏🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏

i’m a woman in a major city who takes public transit twice a day and is rarely scared, most likely bc i have not sequestered myself in places where people are taught to fear everyone who isn’t Just Like Them

You don’t need to prove your womanhood, manhood or enbyhood. Only those fragile in theirs will demand that of you. Human experience is varied. Don’t let others make you miserable because they are. They might have a narrow view of life, but you don’t need to be restricted by it.

The deeper we get into this crisis, the clearer it becomes that many people simply don’t believe that government belongs to them and should respond to their needs.

Good morning

“Where do I see myself in 5 years?” D— Do you really think humanity will last til then?

I got a new cute little friend at SeaTac airport! How could I say no? And, yes, they will be joining a few other aliens at home.

This guy is a danger to all.
