“Freedom” is a very tainted word these days.

Ugh, they’re going to make me side with Newsom, aren’t they?

People are asking. dailyboulder.com/report-votin...

IT’S NOT ABOUT BATHROOMS, EITHER.

I wasn’t alive in the 60s. But I was raised by people who participated in movements of the time. I keep thinking of this song. youtu.be/MN_9VqfVQ9c

If your hotel rents rooms to ICE while it employs refugees and immigrants (yes, it very likely does), you will not have my business.

Nearly 3 months after their disappearance, 200+ Venezuelan migrants remain locked in El Salvador’s mega prison, cut off from family & lawyers. “Our souls are hanging by a thread,” said the mother of Andry, a gay asylum seeker falsely accused over tattoos. #FreeAndry 🔗 bit.ly/4n0hUl9

This is how you do it.

Trump Is Building a Global Gulag for Immigrants Captured by ICE The U.S. has reportedly explored, sought, or struck deals w/ ~20 countries, including those @StateDept has cited for human rights abuses. My latest w/ @jonahmv.bsky.social for @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/05/15/t...

This is gross. I don’t want to pay for it.

Fuck that man for killing my father. My father wasn’t governor. For a lot of his life, he wasn’t even reliably housed. But he would never have killed a bunch of elderly people in nursing homes. He believed in protecting the vulnerable, not treating them as disposable.

Presented without comment.

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

Jonathan Joss was the victim of a violent, homophobic hate crime. This is why we have Pride Month and why we’ll only get louder and prouder. RIP Jonathan Joss

So you didn't care about Emily Pike. You don't care about the wildfires in Canada that are affecting Indigenous people at a higher rate. And now an Indigenous gay man was murdered in a homophobic hate crime during Pride and the world outside of Indian Country is silent? Got it.

NOT NOW MOUNT ETNA

This is what Fezzik thinks of your house rules.

It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.

I thought I was a hard determinist, but in fact I’m a hard incompatiblist. Meaning that the determinism is irrelevant. To my mind, even a slight bit of the random occasionally to accommodate quantum indeterminacy does not free will make.

It’s it too late to ask for a sister? Anyone willing to join my family?

I’ve been falling asleep to physics YouTube, and I have a mundane physics insight about our political situation. You literally can’t go back to a simpler time. Because entropy. You’re fighting the one thing we’re sure exists (kind of—I studied bio/psych/English, forgive me if I overstate).

Anybody want to discuss making end of life decisions for a dog? He doesn’t seem to enjoy the things he used to (eating and roaming around). His one back leg is not doing well. We had to put him in a wagon to get him home from a 1/2 mile walk. And his jaw muscles are wasting, so he can’t +

the authoritarianism is bad, but the loser energy is absolutely intolerable

Going to go ahead and wholeheartedly recommend another Mike Leigh/Marianne Jean-Baptiste movie: “Hard Truths.” She’s truly one of the greats of our time.

The United State is keeping a dead pregnant woman alive on life support because if they unplug her it is abortion. This baby is growing inside an incubation corpse.

Hi, @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, just wanted to let you know that we have tadpoles—and frogs—up in Rodeo (just before the bridge on 80). I call them my shit frogs, because they’ve worked out that dog poop attracts flies. Nothing will startle you like poop seeming to jump as you bend to pick it up!
