Project 2025 is trumps agenda and the fact that anyone thought otherwise is insane

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism. Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary… The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.

🤣

Let us be clear. A man adjudicated as a sexual abuser wants to put multiple men credibly accused of sexual assault/crimes (which they deny) in position of extreme importance. This movement has violence and deep misogyny at its core. This is deeply sick

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy...

While things feel uncertain, staying true to human creativity is so important. Artists have the power to bring something irreplaceable into the world—our thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. Let’s keep going with the imperfect beauty of human art, and continue connecting in ways only we can🎨✨ #art

rereading lord of the rings for the first time in a while and this caught my eye. just a coincidence i assumed. but then

#WriterWednesday library-love moment.

I have just finished this #booksky, and I am in pieces. An unbelievably moving story about love, memory and aging, it is beautiful in so many ways. I can't wait to discuss this with my FB book club. Also I'm off to give both of my parents an enormous hug.

With all of these picks, remember, Trump’s job (per Putin) is to do what he failed to do in his first term thanks to the “grownups” still in the room (who are all gone now), and what WE didn’t give him the chance to do in 2020… Dismantle the federal government from within.

The picture in my header is not a real library. It’s a book nook I constructed inside a cardboard box. There’s a penny on the floor for scale!

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

“Republicans cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.”— Liz Cheney

Ladies & Gentlemen, Trump’s picks to destroy America. This is a must watch!

Ah, yes, the legendary Badlands Tweets!

disney exec: it’s about a guy who thinks he’s a monkey lol. probably don’t need anything too crazy for the soundtrack. phil collins: [eyes glowing white, levitating above the ground] no

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.
