I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

i need a 52 year old man with $800 billion to impregnate my wife . i am worried our offspring wont be sufficiently feeble and/or annoying

It's pretty simple. No one who cares what is happening in America should use X, buy a Tesla, lease a Tesla, rent a Tesla. No one should use Facebook or Instagram. No artist should do anything with the Kennedy Center. We can't shed all of Trumpworld from our lives, but we can fucking try.

This raggedy bitch got a ‘c.’ by his birth year like he was Tutankhamun

For some of the most comprehensive USAID reporting yet, @timothypmurphy.bsky.social & I spoke to ~12 USAID workers about how Musk & Trump have screwed over FSOs, interrupted life-saving projects, & shattered the foundations of the entire humanitarian aid industry. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ryan Spaude is a former prosecutor who voted for Brad Schimel in 2014. But by 2018, Schimel’s failures on rape kits and public safety was too much. Today, he joined Judge Crawford to talk about Schimel letting over 6,000 rape kits sit untested for 2 years.

Change your W4 to Exempt, put the money you'd normally remit to the govt in a high-yield savings acct & if there's an IRS next year, pay them then. I can't think of a better way to get their attn then to cut off their funding...

It occurs to me there are also HISTORICAL PLACES many of which no longer exist, or exist in a different form and their connection to Black history has been lost. I’m going to spend THIS WEEK focusing on PLACES 1. The Savoy 2. The Cotton Club 3. The Apollo

If you needed something positive today, here it is.

If you've ever received a direct deposit from a govt body, this would be an excellent time to call your bank & ask for clarification on debit transactions initiated by a governmental agency. Also be nice to the agent you're speaking to, this is 💯 not something they can control.

Brave is an excellent browser and DuckDuckGo is better than Google as a search engine. Brave is open source & DDG is partially but it is encrypted

No time like the present

In all the buy Canada, there are things we Canadians should still support in the US - especially what media there that hasn’t bent a knee. There are more to consider, but here are some I recommend: @npr.org is massively under attack, and they depend heavily on donations www.npr.org/donations/su...

lol too many people hate the current state of things for something not to shake. Like plane crashes weekly? Marriage ID voter laws? Cancelling grants? The revolution finna be televised.

“Unexpectedly”

And now is the time when we see what companies REALLY gots women’s backs,,, the world is watching 👀

This needs an organized and consistent group. I hope that's coming.

There are still no flights to Haiti - Not much aid coming through. Some meds are completely out of stock. Most keep ignoring my requests, but no matter how bad you think things are, they are worse. Please share and donate if you can.

Sorry sir, your fire coverage doesn't cover getting SMOKED

🚨ALL THESE ELECTIONS ARE TOMORROW! 🚨

This is it. This is the take.

So payroll taxes are basically a short term, no interest loan we give the govt on the assumption we'll get some or all of it back the following year when we file. What if we all just claimed 8 or 10 exemptions for the next 10 months? They want to cut 2T from the budget, let's start there maybe

Humility is in order right now. No one knows what will make a difference. So do everything that you can to take some form of constructive action. 1000 people taking action is ALWAYS better than 1000 people doing nothing or 1000 people acting like East German figure skating judges.

Turns out the hair shedding gloves that our dog HATES make excellent head-stretching gloves for goats

A bill was introduced in the SC legislature that would make what we do a felony. Let’s fund some abortions in his honor. www.donorbox.org/support-the-fund

Is it just me or has WIRED been dogwalking the rest of the media on this story

Sometimes I'll just make thumbnail graphics for YouTube videos that don't exist.

Begging some hero in the Department of Ed to rename the student loan record file folder "DEI training materials" before unlocking the door for the DOGE bros

The real Elon Musk is orders of magnitude worse than any 007 foe. What he wants to do will not just strangle democracy to death in the United States and everywhere, but, ultimately, end human life on earth. Elon Musk is a living, breathing, skipping-like-a-dipshit extinction event.
