The Trump administration’s actions indicate that they’re supportive of men being able to do whatever they want to women—including sexual assault, physical assault, murder. And Vance has already been touting ending no-fault divorce, locking women in abusive marriages. There. Is. No. Bottom. Here.

Too many Democrats spent a good part of last year demonizing campus protesters, refusing to acknowledge Palestinians as humans, and painting people who want an end to Israel's genocidal actions as terrorists. Trump is pouring on the gas, but Dems lit the match and threw in some logs.

The absolute shittiest part about the Dems’ willingness to sell out trans people—and there are a whopping load of shitty parts—is how it’s obvious to everyone that this is a manufactured moral panic but they’re still giving in. No principles. Suffering and death an acceptable price for the win.

This was always where it was going to go: when the President claims it can detain and remove anyone without judicial review or due process, they will try to deport and remove people without judicial review and due process. Straight up authoritarian dictator stuff.

Sesame Street really tells the story of America: - Created for PBS to educate young (especially Black!) children - Becomes a beloved institution cherished by the entire country - Gets privatized and kicked to premium cable due to budget cuts - Unionization leads to mass layoffs What a country!

‘And they hewed Háma’s body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanc,’ Théoden declares. ‘Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.’

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

yeah there's a lot of "create weird art" and not a lot of "your favorite artist can't balance their shitty dayjob and emergency expenses with creating art" or "your favorite artist is burnt out because they've been doing more commissions than personal art for years"
