you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN. It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes. Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice. Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

This is a really good article, and as an inveterate shitposter, I keep asking where the adults are. I don’t *want* to be protesting! I don’t *want* to be arrested for standing up to oppression!! I want a boring government that works and takes care of everyone and I can go be stupid online!!!

True story: back in the 70s, both candidates for sheriff lived on our street, just a few houses from each other. EVERY yard had a sign for one or the other...except ours. We had a "Snoopy for sheriff" sign, made by my mother. So I'm just carrying on the tradition.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

O no I need this

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

A statue of Trump and Epstein was removed from the National Mall by U.S. Park Police, despite a permit allowing it to remain until Sept. 28

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

It’s… Christ. It’s literally a shit-ton of bloated has-been bullies who can’t get over high school when they got to punch all the different kids & no one cared so now we all have to blow them on the hour every hour and worship their amazing 15-yard passing record or get gassed in a camp

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

For the people in the back, bigotry is not an opinion…

HA HA YOU GUYS ARE SO HORNY FOR EMPATHY YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO ACT 10% THE WAY WE DO EVERY DAY LOL CHECKMATE LIBS Isn’t actually the gotcha the people who said “empathy is a sin,” of which Kirk was one, think it is. It would be cruel not to honor his wishes.

I'm not the only one to make this point, but there will need to be the equivalent of Nuremberg Trials when this is all over (however long that takes). If there are no consequences for fascists, we'll keep having fascism.

Just pretend this is a clever play on a classic Paul Simon lyric and let’s call it a day Chandra got me some 35mm photography gear for my birthday, launching a series of obsessive internet research, testing, and probably more subsequent expenditures than she had anticipated. The gear that kicked…

Here, fixed it.

did he say it was baloney?

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

*Important Notice To My Customers In The USA* Last week Donald Trump brought forward the end of the De Minimis exemption for goods under $800 to 29th August, much, much sooner than anyone anticipated and with no time for postal services on either side of the Atlantic to adapt to this change. (1/5)

Broke. Unemployed. Might have to start advertising commission work here— lettering (like return addresses) and Mad Men Yourself avatar updates are the easiest to sell, I think Would you want it?

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

This point by Dr Jallepalli is important... and demonstrates why RFKJrs comment that 'do your own research' is in line with 'democracy' is wrong: There are many things we do not understand, and our time is limited. The purpose of expertise is to expand our capacity for public collective knowledge.

Last time I heard our rep speak, he kept talking up his bipartisan efforts. All I could hear was "collaborator."
