Brilliant, beautiful book and film.

This is Bernie (Sanders). He's proud of all of the good trouble everyone's been doing lately. ♥️🧶

Reading pope power rankings. Absolutely losing it that the word for eligible popes is "popeable."

- What cologne are you wearing? - Expensive weed.

On the upside, at least we're all aging.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

@fade.bsky.social identified the vibe at these red state town halls where older people are yelling at their reps as “Big HOA energy” and I am here for it.

Let's dig! Loam: balance of sand, silt, & clay, drains well & nutrients, ideal for most plants. Clay: dense, retains water, rich, best for broccoli & fruit trees (amend w/compost). Silt: smooth, fertile, holds moisture, great for leafy greens. Sandy: drains quick, warms fast, root veggies love it.

Protestors gathered in New York against the autogenocide being committed by US healthcare corporations and in support of a fair trial for Luigi and justice for millions of people killed to boost corporate profits. #3E #EndAutogenocide #Feb21 (📷 ‪ @oscarthinks.bsky.social & @miasato.bsky.social ‬)

He nails it.

Good one

A single Homer, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat. #performanceart

Weed the only drug that somehow has its own accent.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

160 years after the Confederacy ended, their most successful General retires to survey the irretrievably broken country he spent his life destroying in the name of bigotry and white supremacy. Good fucking riddance. I hope we all get to watch that last fall.

A man, a plan, a canal: reach down between my legs, ease the seat back

The Tea Party protests at Democrats' town halls brought the fresh air of freedom back to our political system. But the liberals booing Republican Congressmen all need to shut up immediately.

Hitler, who I do not support, never would have embraced genocide, which I also do not support, if the Weimar shitlibs hadn't tried so hard to deplatform him. by Glenn Greenwald

My nightmare, or at least ONE of them of late.

The magnitude of this failure is impressive. A Democrat governor can't even hold an (ostensibly) Democrat mayor accountable for accused public corruption in a Democrat majority state - AFTER he accepted a bribe on national TV. Dems, you are fucking done. Just go home. www.wsj.com/us-news/new-...

I should get the entire Godspeed You! Black Emperor catalog on vinyl, it would go really well with the societal collapse.

These are the kind of letters people are receiving if they dare to question this administration. We have a constitutional right and duty to speak up. #DemocracyNotDictatorship

C'mon Gen X. We survived the Cola Wars. We got this.

This will go down as the real end.

Nihilism: nothing matters Absurdism: nothing matters, but in a cool way. Existentialism: freely choose among all the various things that don't matter!

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Uncomfortable truth time. Elected Republicans will continue to blindly obey their corrupt figurehead as long as they fear his supporters more than they fear everyone else. Stop looking for carrots.

How Vladimir Putin became an unlikely folk hero for many white working-class Americans.

www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r... Hoo, boy. Disturbing AF.

Look closely.

Oh my God if this is true

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.

American generals say that the Russia/Ukraine war began when Russia invaded Ukraine. But on this Mar-a-Lago toilet, they aren’t so sure.

Hey does anyone know what happened within a decade of the "Aging Kremlin Hardliners" era in the Soviet Union.

Republicans will soon bring forward a “reconciliation” bill, that encapsulates the value system of greed and their obedience to oligarchy. It is the economic essence of Trumpism. It will make the rich richer & the poor poorer. It must be defeated. And we can defeat it.
