It really bothers me when I tell people this they're like "Who is John Thune?" And like I think Thune should be as well-known as Schumer. He is the Senate Majority leader. That man should never know peace.

People keep suggesting this war is about hiding what's in the files rather than being entirely in character with and indicative of the callous disregard for life and wellbeing of the vulnerable you can expect to find in the files. It's not 8 dimensional chess. He's just a global tier dickhead.

cool that the two legal methods for removing the incompetent, incoherent, sundowning, criminal president are a) his cabinet, who are all worse than he is, or b) congress, which I'm pretty sure no longer exists other than to hold show trials

Trump lied about the state of Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. He lied when he said generals said this war would be “easily won.” He lied when he said he would end forever wars. I’m sick and tired of politicians sending working class kids to die for a lie.

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

This is why I’m not going yo today’s local protest. Am I against this war? obviously. Am I prepared to deal with the level of antisemitism the speakers are probably gonna display? NOPE. They can chant and wave signs without me. I called my representative. I can do that without feeling targeted.

This would be a really good time for us to examine not only how deeply we’ve been propangandized by the US govt. but also what entertainment we consume has been funded by the military industrial complex to increase enlistment and support for war. Like Marvel. inkstickmedia.com/marvels-mili...

let’s stop calling each new outrage a “distraction” from the last outrage and instead call it what it is: a vast ongoing machine of death, kidnapping, graft, abuse, and larceny built to operate on many fronts simultaneously at home and abroad for the benefit of the wannabe god-emperor and his toads

Just called my US rep, @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co, to tell him to impeach for Trump for this illegal war. You can call your US rep, too. Find them here: reps.fyi

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

this is excellent advice that i wish i’d seen before i got up to take a leak

'It can’t be watching it, not in that volume; we’d notice.' I snorted. He underestimated me.

If I wasn't Queer, if I didn't have trans people in my life that I love and would die for, if if if if blah blah blah I would still support trans rights because it is the obvious right thing to do I mean...it's not a debate. Not for me. Human rights are never up for debate.

May I suggest following up from the perspective of building code compliance? Even if it's a relatively new building, conversion from warehouse to detention should trigger a wind & seismic upgrade. bsky.app/profile/dbon...

LMFAO I LITERALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHY THIS HAPPENED AND I CAN CONFIRM TO YOU IT'S ENTIRELY 100% ON THE PART OF WHOMEVER PROGRAMMED THEIR PHONE SYSTEM THIS WAY 👇🏽🧵

I don’t think I’ve ever met a “Mike” I liked—or an “Ike” at all—but if you put me near an amount of Mike and Ike candy, you will shortly find yourself with a much smaller amount of that candy. Like none. None candy. I will eat all of it.

It's really called that I'm losing it

If anyone has a direct line to this guy, please ask him why he hasn't announced an eviction moratorium to protect immigrants terrorized by ICE in his state in the dead of winter.

A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.

fish, fish, that’s my dish if it smells like cologne, leave it alone

I was born in 1973. Or, like, 1673 because that's basically the same thing now. If you need me I'll be the pile of dust in the corner of the room.

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

don’t get me started on beef shins, which used to be a cheap stew beef cut. My grandmother’s inexpensive beef-bean-and-barley soup is now luxury priced because of the beef shins.

Today is the only day I will be listing this weekend because I am going away. While I am gone, Becky is getting orders out the door. Today, however, is for listing. Free US shipping over $50, flat $5 otherwise. LGBTQIA+ staffed and owned. Thanks for shares ahead of time!

FedEx said that it will return any tariff refund it might get to shippers and customers who paid them. on.nbcboston.com/Gn6UgdS

A little thought exercise: If I am, say, a queer person (which I am!) and you tell me the only way to save the country is to take my safety/needs off your platform - just temporarily! - so you can get elected and *then* you’ll fight for me… Why should I trust you? The answer is I shouldn’t

those of us in the US who are Trollope fans and fans of trans people will be absolutely delighted by this story losing her deposit!

PPS The affinity group is men. The shared ideology is male supremacism. The shared activity is using the bodies of girls & women as objects with which to convey messages of power. THE AFFINITY GROUP IS MEN.

THIS is what RFK Jr. is doing right now in reverse. He is undoing incredibly effective disease prevention efforts. Scientists and healthcare professionals are screaming at the top of our lungs about what the result will be. But until people see it for themselves, many will not believe.

Someone please remind me that even though it is POSSIBLE to screw cup hooks into soft pine with nothing but a pilot hole and bare hands, it’s a good idea to use some pliers for leverage because of the strain it puts on your wrist in the final turns!

Calling all filkers!

#SkyTrek, you have an assignment:

(Also a reminder that any time a MAHA says “healthy food” or “clean eating” they mean “fascist control and the eugenics of anyone who doesn’t meet a specific standard of skinny, non-disabled white superiority”)

Hey folks, I hadn't thought of it in these terms, but protesting planned AI data centers in your local area *could literally bring the entire fascist house of cards down*, b/c the big fascist tech cos have bet HEAVY on AI, but the demand ain't happening so their $100s of billions of Nvidia chips...

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

What follows is a thread of people who have offered relocation advice or resources to those looking to leave the United States I’m too overwhelmed to ask for explicit permission to post what you’ve sent me, so I will be including an anonymized screen cap of your post Delete your post for privacy

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Why are these allowed on the streets?? More likely to burn than a Pinto?

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright
