Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

happy “love the band, hate the fans” day to all who celebrate

so much of the fascist movement country is supported by the belief that parents own their children and have a right to ensure they turn out a specific way

Quick question: if I break my “no bumper stickers” rule, is this gonna get me high fives and laughs or yelling and road rage? I think it’s funny af and the current HHS situation in the US makes this EVEN FUNNIER, imo. #darkhumor #raccoons #hinterlandempiremerch

Take a deep breath and look at these otters relaxing. You probably need it.

stocks keep going up and down bc the invisible hand of the market is making the jacking off motion

the shift from “I never thought leopards would eat MY face” to “eat my face harder leopard daddy” must be studied

Me: *pulls cards for clarity how to prepare for coming battles* The tarot deck: “Preparation starts within. Here’s a detailed list so you don’t get sidetracked. Get busy. You’re a mess.” Me: Oh.

To the Common. #Boston #HandsOff

Folks, this is coming down to the wire but is still super reachable. Hopefully I don't have to tell you why trans people would want to get out of this blimp explosion of a country. This is when we need our cis allies to help out in material, financial ways. Donate what you can.

Boosting this!

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

It’s been a weird day in a weird week. I feel like a wrung out dishrag but for emotions.

it would be great if an amazon guy showed up on the senate floor and delivered a copy of infinite jest to cory booker right now

as trans day of visibility fades into night, it's time to build support for a new holiday: trans week of unfettered access to long-range rocket artillery

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

In the coming times, marginalized folks may have to make hard choices & sometimes hide things about themselves to survive. You would be wrong to judge them. HOWEVER, people with safer identities that hide those same things are fash enablers if not doing so to actively infiltrate. #isaidwhatisaid

Whether it is politically or interpersonally, what's in your mind & heart simply does not matter unless it is reflected in your day-to-day actions. Individualism in our society has gotten us to believe that we are the best arbiters of everything about ourselves, but we do not live this life alone.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky

either floating a SS payment shutdown is the world’s worst ever attempt to bluff a judge or they already broke SS

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

"If our current Democratic leadership were half as committed to proactive and compelling and confident and unified messaging as they are to sending all of us fundraising texts every day, we wouldn’t be in this situation." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/why-chuck-...

Hell yes

“Leftists cannot tolerate other ideas” said the people who disappear their political enemies

If laws don't mean anything anymore why do I still have to file my tax return?

Thinking about how the Ford pinto has a better safety record than the cybertruck

If they advocate for violence they're a fed (clap clap) If they advocate for violence they're a fed (clap clap) If they plot bloodshed on main They're a cop, a fed, a sting If they advocate for violence they're a fed (clap clap)

Lefties. Your activism can’t just be online or even just “in the streets” at like, protests. It needs to be in Soup Kitchens Homeless shelters Schools Nursing Homes City Council meetings Religious Centers Art Studios Libraries Union Halls Hospitals

Honestly I never expected this kind of explicit proof that the Dems insist on courting an imaginary voter base. Wild.

guys they're going to stop feeding TSA's bomb-sniffing dogs, per Fox News nat security correspondent:

I wish Chuck Schumer would put as much effort into opposing Republicans in Congress as he does opposing his own constituents on social media.

The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history. Archive is here: web.archive.org/web/20250304... Page was here: www.army.mil/asianpacific... Disgusting.

it is grimly hilarious that, given the immense, decades-long fetishization of "leadership" and "leadership skills" in business-oriented academia and politics, even unto the formation of leadership institutes, there should turn out to be no leaders in any positions of power

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.
