the way the far right is blatantly lying and trying to blame the assassination of democrats on democrats is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen

“No Kings” is one of the sharpest bits of political branding/rhetoric in a while. Extremely concise and in every headline, historically rooted, specific to the American tradition but also universalist, nails what’s exceptional about Trump in a way that almost all factions in opposition can endorse.

Call me crazy, but I don't want to live through "years of lead" and I really don't think that doing so will end well for the causes that I care about!

You know it would really help those of us critiquing neoliberalism if the term wasn't used as a bogeyman. "The Nintendo Switch 2 is $450 because of neoliberalism." "My bedtime is 10pm because of neoliberalism."

I met Billy West at an art store at the Monmouth Mall in NJ in the 90s. He was there to promote signed animation cells from Ren and Stimpy and told me to look out for a new episode called, "Eggyölkeo" that was coming soon.

The White House has already previewed their legal argument in the military deployment at the border context; they argue it's not a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act because the troops are not arresting the person, merely temporarily detaining them for local law enforcement to arrive.

Trump just announced new 50% tariffs on household appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators. Hope no one out there was in the middle of a remodel, or had a stove recently conk out www.reuters.com/world/us/hom...

The erasure of poor Black immigrants in these United States has ALWAYS been a thing. Poor Black immigrants are demonized within their immigrant communities (classism), within the broader Black community (xenophobia), and across the globe (anti-Blackness). #blacksky

So I just realized that this is the federal building by the West LA VA...which is by the 405. I was there yesterday, zero protests or action. The Marines are trying really hard to have as little to do with this clusterfuck as they can while still technically complying with orders.

its wrong to call GOP economic policy or its worldview "zero-sum"; the policy and worldview is explicitly negative-sum. another way to say this is that they need their pleasure to come from others' pain

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.
