The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Just spent Father's Day internally screaming and externally trying to polite smile at my fascist-adjacent father in order to not break my mother's heart. How was your father's day?

Given the choice between a society where your neighbor may have overstayed their visa and a society where random people can be grabbed and dragged away screaming by masked men in broad daylight, the former is pretty fucking obviously preferable.

Oh I forgot, I once warned a non-celebrity in a viral thread not to search the horrific crimes of a minor fantasy author, which caused Neil Gaiman to search said crimes and be horrified. Soon after in unrelated circumstances we learned about the horrific crimes of noted fantasy author Neil Gaiman.

Didn't ask Lewis Black any questions or say anything requiring a response from him at a book signing because he looked so bone tired. Just smiled and quietly requested a name to make it out to, and quietly thanked him. Would have bowed out of the line but was the signing was as a gift for another

RIP, Mr. Wilson. Already saw God Only Knows making the rounds, so I'll add this song (which he apparently loved and recorded his own cover of). It kind of perfectly captures how paralyzed I've felt creatively this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfeT...

Why is my representative @repshontelbrown.bsky.social on the list of having voted to 'express gratitude to ICE'? What possible justification could there be for this vote at this time? In the safest blue district in Ohio? Absolutely inexcusable. Disgusted.

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

I am a New Yorker, to the depths of my soul. So you know if I'm agreeing with this, I really mean it. LA is America. The complex huge crass brilliant enormity of the place.
