Another week of listening down. #WeeklyTunes #LastFMCollage #LastFM #musicsky

How are yall claiming to be loving Paul Wellstone and talking that Angie Craig shit simultaneously? who the fuck are you?

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

This is a funny story because of how it establishes that all around the world, even the most nihilistic ultra-rich freaks are realizing this shit is stupid, wasteful, and unnecessary and Trump is like "the big plane has a couch in it, it's the highest premium leather," www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

Need the exploding car that looks like a Nine Inch Nails video underneath

Happy Anniversary @ladychristyk.bsky.social! The 9th year is apparently the pottery anniversary, so thanks for putting up with all my crock(ery)...

A recurring problem with the conservative natalist agenda is that it features weirdos who grab a lot of attention, but the actual policies are things like "young kids are not dependents and we should impose administrative burdens on their families"

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

lol “getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE,” yeah that’s the problem my guy

average democrat: oh golly gee, are we being too mean? too nasty and hysterical? what republicans have done is unpleasant, but… i don’t know if it’s our place to attack them too hard and hurt our working relationships. there’s many good people on the other side of the aisle average republican:

collected this thread of info on the people behind we love minneapolis (the operators and the donors) into a blog post to have it in one place - taylordahlin.com/f/who-is-beh...

i think this shit is an affront to this country and its traditions

these agents and everyone up the chain of command need to be investigated and prosecuted

“Everything Trump does is a scam” is both true and probably a useful frame for those who oppose him.

A so-called "documentary" on "Lizard People" conspiracy theories is among the most watched offerings on Trump Media's new streaming service. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/truth-p...

Evie hopes everyone is having a good a #caturday as she is... #thedustballs #rescuecats #catsky

If you see this post your getaway vehicle.

Being angry may feel like a luxury, or like a flash of immaturity escaping from a political pose of unsurprise. But telling our representatives to demand accountability before the law is the least we can do, and asking them to be angry too is at this point just asking them to be identifiably human.

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

When are @klobuchar.senate.gov & @smith.senate.gov going to condemn the hateful, misleading & unscientific HHS Gender Dysphoria report put out by the Trump Admin? Our trans siblings deserve unconditional support of their fundamental rights & the Senators need to publicly lead on this.

Ope, so sorry, didn’t realize the restroom was occupied. #catsky #rescuecat #thedustballs

People were responding too well. It's time to go back to what we know works: people who have been in office since 1993 saying "listen up, Mr. Trump's economy is quite frankly fucking disappointing" while holding up an egg.

"You know, as an example, red lead was used to make cheddar... A can of coffee could be coffee, but it could be ground bone, or charred shells, or dirt." Deborah Blum on our bad food past -- and how to avoid it being our future: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Look, I know your first instinct might be to be weirded out and disgusted by the the fact that a leading Democrat is lending legitimacy to the wannabe-dictator's propaganda shows while his regime is dismantling the constitution - but hear me out... No, actually, you got that exactly right.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

anybody who wants my vote in 2026 or 28 better be real-deal committed to prosecutions and prison sentences for a whole host of Trump admin people, including Trump himself, and his goons in various agencies
