one thing we can agree on about bernie is he is not a Democrat

This person just called AOC middle aged I'm injured

quick update: the man makig dog noises outside my apt ended up being just a dog. to all Gorgeous women who DMed me asking if im ok—thank you

Elon hates that anyone could have a good idea besides him (which is, essentially, all good things and ideas that exist) and that is what animates all of his cruelty, but especially non-white/non-men people.

“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.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

an accurate description of donald trump's character is per se libel. an accurate description of his policies is a call for revolution. one of his great superpowers is that he generates self-censoring facts.

Idk what she did but I can fix her etc

Using AI is a good way for an advertisement to engage me even less.

it was true under trump 1 and even biden, the past decade has sucked ass, anyone who says fascism is good for art are full of shit, artists don't need to starve either

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

When Mitch saw the breadth of his destruction, he wept for there were no more countries to ruin.

It's very funny when NPR is interviewing an expert in something and it all feels fairly normal and evenhanded and then at the end they're like "and that was Christopher Halliburton from the Center for Exploding Venezuela"

HEY DUMBASS MEDIA don't let TRUMP'S DECLARATION THAT HE IS KING distract you from the things that he's ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO such as CONSOLIDATE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY and NEVER LEAVE OFFICE

federal electeds afraid of death threats during a coup should resign, elected office isn't a normal career path

Trump now stating "I signed an order creating the department of government efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge", contradicting the submission to Judge Chutkan.

The animating principle of representational democracy is to protect the rest of us from the whims of deranged rich people, be they kings or oligarchs. Everything else is wainscoting.

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.

Public comment genuinely matters. Courts will overturn rules based on an administration not responding to substantive comments.

Again: I don’t think the primary goal of the anti-D.E.I. authoritarianism we’re seeing is re-segregation. It’s TOTAL human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is just a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

All the kings' horses and all the kings' men..

"Jocelynn Rojo Carranza took her life after experiencing months of relentless bullying from her sixth grade classmates over her family's immigration status, with some students even threatening to contact the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)." Just no words ...

Keep fighting the good fight man I'm sure you're THIS CLOSE to convincing all of the robots programmed by Nazis to be Nazis of the importance of liberal democracy 👍

Our problem isn't with you, people of Canada, simply your democratically elected government.

Jesus christ, was I giving him ideas?

we seem to have started another day with this administration where even its fiercest critics refuse to name white supremacy's role in all of this. RFK JR isn't dumb. He is a white supremacist trying to justify starting up work camps and child separation. Call the thing what it is.

"I'm so undignified it's wild. Definitely everyone else's fault tho"

And yummy maple syrup!

"I used to play King Lear's bitch ass. But now I was Mario Mario."

even his own slapdash recap of the new deal wikipedia page reveals a major difference, which is that fdr PASSED SHIT THROUGH CONGRESS

A depressing but apt summation of where we are, and why democracy is failing: the richest and most powerful institutions in human history recognize climate change is warming the planet and increasing extreme weather events, but they pretend otherwise to placate a fascist movement.

Here is the ad the Washington Post accepted and then rejected:

He likes other magicks too, ya know.

It's simple, and if ICE agents don't know the answer, they should NOT be in law enforcement. If they have a warrant, signed by a judge, with an individual's name on it and you help that person knowing the warrant exists, that's aiding and abetting. If they don't, they can go fuck themselves.

I know lots of people are recommending folks get “up-to-date” on vaccines if possible. If you don’t have a doctor, insurance, or just don’t know where to start, this is a resource with helpful links www.vaccines.gov/en/

new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"
