Everyone should read this description of how the Roberts Court abused the Supreme Courts own rules and traditions to turn the previously rarely used "shadow docket" into a tool for legislating a right wing agenda from the bench. These "interim rulings" aren't interim; they are policy. Gift article.

Guess whose broker just told her how her portfolio’s loaded

NEW: Rep.-elect Analilia Mejia (D-NJ) will be sworn in as U.S. House member within the hour. Further narrowing GOP majority

Repost with your first crush

If the dumbass NRA members and rednecks that have been unsurprisingly silent during the rise of tyranny here don't think that the confiscation of guns can happen in America, then they're in for the surprise of their lives.

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes has to rank among the greatest casting coups in history. He's so good I sometimes believe in time travel. That someone went back in time and got Arthur Conan Doyle to invent Sherlock Holmes just so Jeremy Brett could play him a hundred years later.

Today we remember the horrific tragedy of the Columbine shooting. 27 years later, it is a disgrace that gun violence is still the leading cause of death for children in America.

Just occurred to me that Star Trek: The Next Generation would not have survived past its first season in this business environment

Look at him. Look at that delightful sonuvabitch. DeForest Kelley has got ALL of the swag. (pictured with OG super-fan Joan Winston) #startrek #deforestkelley

Over the weekend, a man shot and killed eight children... EIGHT! The largest mass shooting in years... and barely a blip from news organizations. Why? I'm sure there is more than one reason for that... but mostly because everyone is focused on that f*cking piece of shit in the White House.

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

Americans are grieving after eight children were killed and two others terribly wounded by a gunman in Louisiana. This is the 114th mass shooting of 2026. Our thoughts and prayers must be followed by Congress taking action to end gun violence.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup. Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires. It's a disgrace.

You can call it a hoax. You can call it a staged event. But mostly you can call it the workings of a sick, demented man.

"Star Trek is too political now" Bro we had a black lady and a RUSSIAN serving on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 60s. Pretty fuckin political then. First interracial kiss, too. First lesbian kiss in the 90s in DS9. Several races of aliens that don't adhere to a gender binary-- need I go on?

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

One thing I love about Star Trek TNG is how many of the characters have their own hobbies Picard has Shakespeare and archeology and horseback riding Riker plays jazz Worf practices martial arts Data writes poetry and paints Beverly and Troi do yoga It adds a lot of depth to the characters

Low information voters is one thing. Low information presidents are much worse.

Have the Secret Service agents involved in the assassination attempt started dying or disappearing? That’s a tell

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the US Postal Service can't be sued for intentionally withholding and not delivering a person's mail, for any reason! So, if the USPS just decides not to deliver your absentee ballot because you're a suspected democrat, you have no recourse.

DOJ tries to sue States that won't release voter files. They fail. Who is suing the DOJ to release the Epstein files? They seem very selective about which files help them and which don't.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Alien 3, directed by David Fincher. Girl's Head beside a Skull by Rex Whistler.

If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.

Remember this fuck when his name comes on the ballot.

NEW: Republicans (and Fetterman) just BLOCKED a war powers resolution in the Senate. Rand Paul voted with all Democrats. Senate Republicans (and Fetterman) are now on record in support of this illegal war.

I love using this meme whenever I see an AI generated pictures of the weirdo doing something stupid. Seriously, there are so many hand-drawn political cartoons around the world featuring the turd doing literally everything. Not to mention he's a living cartoon character, so photos should be fine.

Gravy a song: Smells Like Teen Gravy

I love Star Trek with all my heart but I swear if the fandom isn't attacking itself it's in a race to prove which fan is older than the rest. If I had a nickel for every time someone attempted to win an internet argument by telling everyone that they've been watching since TOS...

Mood, every single day.

Big Oil, Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, and now Big Ragebait. Yes, thank you @williamshatner.bsky.social aka, as #drtrek says: Stay awoke—check the sources!

Finally, There are Adults in the room.....👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The entire GOP are treasonous traitors who have betrayed America

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865). The Twilight Zone, 1959–1964.

Here's a reminder: fruit and vegetables are fruit and vegetables. Canned, frozen, fresh, whatever you can afford, and whatever is easiest for you to consume is ok. Don't let the internet make nutrition complicated. ♡ #nourishyourbody

If there's a draft, draft the gun owners first.

BREAKING: 75% of Americans support releasing the Epstein files, even if it implicates their own party, according to PBS poll.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

“I blame his voters for this. I blame every Republican elected official. I blame his media sycophants. I blame every media outlet, university president, private company CEO, and world leader who bent the knee to him. They're all to blame for this. They ALL taught him to believe he can…” - Joe Walsh

FYI, Star Trek was never subtle about its politics. Having Black, Russian, and Asian crew members treated with respect was a political choice for a show in the 1960s. You're just mad the needle has moved beyond the issues of your day.

With Swalwell resigning, this is where I point out to CA 14 that Rakhi Israni is not the Dem you think she is. She has MAGA ties. Donations to Republicans in the past. Only recently registered her party affiliation, likely to run. I see a lot of signs for her and we need to be paying attention.

"The short silent film “Gugusse and the Automaton” by French cinema pioneer Georges Melies had been lost to history until it was found in a trove of film reels donated to the US Library of Congress." A 1897 sci-fi movie! 🤩 First appearance on film of a somewhat-robot! 😍 AMAZE!
