Just a quick signal boost for those of you who understand what and who you support with your dollars matters.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

Hey Washington folks: please take two seconds to contact your state legislators to oppose HB 1038, which would ban gender-affirming care for kids in Washington. Gender-affirming care saves lives. Stand up for trans kids!

There are moments when the Hard Times manages to even outdo the Onion. This headline is a thing of beauty, and the story's pretty solid, too. thehardtimes.net/music/man-wh...

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

a lot of people rn are like "I voted for the You're Fired guy and then he fired me, what the hell!"

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Canada will not survive a Quisling government.

REMINDER TO NOT TALK ABOUT BEING AT PROTESTS ONLINE. You do not need to "prove" you were there, it puts you and others in danger. Only tell people in person when you go for safety.

Trans rights are human rights, so are intersex rights. Pass it on

Democrats should all start making the jerk off motion when asked about anything Trump-related, just to see how it gets described. “Controversial gesture that suggests self-pleasuring”

yeah you couldn't fuckin pay me to read those udon mega man comics. fuck them forever

so guess who's decided he needs to hold his favorite toys while peeing 😭😭😭

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

young posters, the use of language changed before you were born, so in case you didn't know this: the reason things like Social Security and Medicare are called "entitlements" isn't (derogatory) it's because access is *guaranteed* in exchange for your advance payments into the program

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

We've learned today that Phantasm franchise hero Reggie Bannister has entered hospice care. It's time to rally and show Reggie how much he means to us fans. Here's how to send well wishes and cards of support his way:

HEAR HEAR

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

🧪⚒️ Vancouver! Did you feel the M4.8 earthquake today? One person described it as "like a plane crashing into the building." The earthquake occurred on a fault in the crust overriding the Cascadia subduction zone. But figuring out where those faults are, and which ones are active, is tricky!

Little monster

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

This fight will be had in court and in legislatures, sure, but it sure would be a pity if someone retooled the bathroom signs over and over!

So it’s come to this. Smeggling.

Sure would love it if Dr Steel finally conquered the world right about now

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids
