Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Apropos of today, here's a charity I give to when able, and have since the beginning of Russia's invasion. United Help Ukraine, a U.S. based non-profit, has been doing humanitarian work since 2014, providing first aid, food and psychological support to besieged areas: unitedhelpukraine.org/about-us/

If you don’t already like Zelenskyy enough: He said "fuck you bitch (suka, blyat)" to JD Vance during their argument.

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

You're going to hear a lot of DC types going on the record to say they can't figure out why any of this is happening. It's really quite straightforward: this is happening because MAGA is a eugenics project, this is eugenics. www.marketwatch.com/story/social...

it’s not even an outrageous claim to say this. this is what they want. this peter thiel backed operation praxis nation is openly stating this as their goal. the front man of praxis nation is currently the US ambassador to Denmark, and is the same guy who pushed the “let’s buy greenland” story

The Clown Paradox: the more negative the online review of a clown is, the funnier the clown sounds

The idea that America via JD, has the nerve to lecture Germany… GERMANY about free speech and not letting the far right speak is just OFF THE RAILS.

Yeah, I’m not ok. That’s enough reality for tonight.

Nino is a buddy and an excellent musician. We connected via the internet years ago over our love of the show A Darker Shade of Pagan (RIP.) If you were ever ADSOP fan or you otherwise like ethereal goth music and dungeon synth, I totally recommend this show. It's free on Mixcloud!

This is the type of cancer that took my dad very young. This is very welcome news.

You too can have a disconcerting goblin-cat in your home, watching you sleep.

Totally sold on what sounds like a kick-ass story by a PNW author from a small publisher that paid an actual artist to illustrate the cover! Coyote Run ordered!

im deadly serious here this is a 14th century illustration of a horse dying and going to hell

NEW UPDATE to Some Actions That Are Not Protesting or Voting. - a few people have written to me to ask if I could include HEADINGS and I have done so. Also added a few more ideas. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

it is just grotesque how many Americans totally take for granted what good fortune it has been to have incredibly good relations with a rich power neighbor sharing the worlds longest land border

I hope that all of my international friends & friends in the LGBTQ+ communities & immigrant communities know that I will always be driven to protect the most vulnerable among us. I'm trying to broadcast my thoughts less and act more these days. I am paying attention and doing everything I can.

Each of us can focus on what we can do.

another day at the uncrustables factory decrusting these crustables

Hundreds marched in #Seattle against ICE, blocking streets and facing arrests. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, Sourcebooks, three authors, a public library district, the Authors Guild, a teacher, two students, and two parents are suing the state of Idaho over the book-banning law HB 710. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

Important thread re. knowledge, its production and devaluation thereof. I teach theory of knowledge and my students often have an epiphany followed by (mild) horror when they realise what is stake with the continuing devaluation and defunding of humanities.

Your reps don’t deserve a moment of peace until these people are impeached and in jail.

So anyway I did a dungeon synth cover of an traditional Italian anti-fascist song. blacknumenoreanwoe.bandcamp.com/track/bella-...

we are unfortunately experiencing a giant wave of "Bluesky is for talking about Twitter." it's not. you wanna talk about Twitter you know how to get there, live your truth! Bluesky is for the following things: 1) good jokes 2) interesting or useful information 3) hog on main

I guess all that brand building Bob did as the “I sue Trump every day” AG was just a long con to become governor so that he could block the wealth tax, cut the AG’s budget, and do full austerity except for massive spending on cops? Let’s call every day and ask.

Let's run this back so none of these details are lost on us. Regular black people Pushed THROUGH police to chase fascists out of their neighborhood And yet, our elected officials won't push past the dude from IT to chase fascists out of federal buildings. Write that down.

There are all kinds of resistance and some is far from futile—people are not Borg. People in power are people, fallible and eminently confusable. One way to resist: get grit in the gears until the the machine stutters and stops. Buy time. Some ideas about how.
