really went dark for the sequel

“It’s not even that I don’t want to be disabled in general, I just am glad I’m not you. I’m happy I have my health, but that’s only part of it. Your life just seems really unpleasant, even in ways unrelated to your disability.” thesqueakywheel.org/family-m...

Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news: They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

for senior citizens it can mean so much to spend quality time with a young person, even if it's just a few minutes

Just city after city where they roll in expecting to be greeted as liberators. On the day of Dick Cheney's funeral let's just remember that that never works.

It's almost Thanksgiving! Got an ICE member coming for dinner at your house? No you don't! Can't stop them because you're not the one hosting? No problem. You can shun them, mock them, shame them, cough in their food. They get the weird chair. No weird chair? Make a weird chair.

Taking "ha-ha bitches, I got a new scooter" energy into everything now.

Over 20,000 students stayed home from school Monday in Charlotte amid ICE raids, representing 15% of enrollment The district is nearly one-third Hispanic, per WBTV www.wbtv.com/2025/11/18/n...

A blessing and a curse when your two favorite teams are set to face each other in the final. Go Batties. Go Spirit. I just hope everyone has fun

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

This is fucking disgusting

I'd like to think something will come of this but *gestures broadly*

this is the worst night of my life

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Don't call the cops on someone in a mental health crisis unless you want them dead.

This sponge brain is the dragon we can’t beat, huh?

no money for politicians

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party. They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word. Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

if Democrats cave for absolutely nothing I don't want to hear another conversation about how we make it the current party organization work ever again. they will be fucking dead to me. I don't care if we have to build a new coalition from absolute zero

1/2 Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress. It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care. A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

Really surprised by Mark Kelly and Jon Ossoff! Make the calls, Peeps!

Oh sure you think Chuck Schumer is “caving” and “wants to ruin all the momentum” and “is horrible at politics” but what if I was to tell you that this old crazy man ran the idea by an imaginary married Irish American couple that exists only in his mind and they think it’s great politics

This story now includes video, released by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, of the baby being exposed to chemical irritants fired by federal agents from their convoy into the car she was riding in with members of her family near 26th Street and Ogden Avenue in Cicero.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Reasons to root for a Gotham win: The possibility of this rematch in the final

They’re gonna send Stephen Miller out to do a full-on Grinch on SNAP recipients, snatching up cans of Hoo hash and whatnot.

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Eat 'em up Kats! 😆🧡

Same people who pitched a fit about the closure of churches during COVID, I will add.

I asked my subscribers to send me their new ACA premium quotes. OH MY GOD. Republicans are sending us into a full on healthcare crisis. You’ve got to see this.

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.” Ivy League: “I will eat my poop and thank you for it because I’m scared of a Fox News personality cosplaying as a lawyer”

Oh no that’s terrible somebody do something

WOAH. Texas GOP Executive Director Jen Hall and another top party official just resigned. In her letter to party Chair Abraham George, Hall said she "cannot in good conscience continue to work this way" but doesn't elaborate. Hall and George are both longtime Tim Dunn allies. This is...interesting.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

I'll go ahead and say it. Texas book banners got their butts kicked in tonight's school board elections. Again.

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

icymi: the city commission meeting is tomorrow night, i’d like to get to 500 signatures today. even if you’re not local, please sign! help me save my town’s little free libraries and little free pantries! www.change.org/p/amend-city...

Everywhere I look outside of America I see a better way to live.

Cops looking to arrest Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread, I guess.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress: I am urging each of you to adopt a food pantry this week. Make it clear that Trump and the GOP are withholding $5 billion in a contingency fund that could fund SNAP benefits and feed Americans, so you're adopting a food pantry in your district.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...
