fwiw i doubt roberts even bothers to lie to himself about it at this point, he just lies to himself about what it says about him

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

I didn't catch that the campaign had cancelled a town hall to respect the boycott. That's great.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

👇🎯 Again, the second Democrats have power again in Congress, the 9-member super-legislature needs to be fundamentally reined in & reformed. It is the only way to start protecting & rebuilding democracy in America, since they appear totally unwilling to self-regulate: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back. Computer…enhance. #garden #gardening #oopsfrog

i need you to look at these excerpts and tell me you see what’s really going on TELL ME YOU SEE IT

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

ooooo it is a delight when graphics+wordplay is clever enough to translate so clearly even for people who don’t speak the language

can anybody tell me who this is? these doofuses all blur together for me

A group of youth climate researchers affiliated with UC Davis is trying to fix climate models to correct for fossil fuel industry propaganda that has snuck its way in. But... of course their funding was just cut. :( So they're doing a GoFundMe. www.gofundme.com/f/support-Ba...

really interesting how gender essentialist people see “people can choose how they live in the world” as a coercive ideology it’s inherently liberatory to think gender is constructed. you get to be exactly the kind of man/woman/whatever you want! you’re free!

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

So, looking for something unusual to be part of today? Try this! "Send Diane Duane to the Reichenbach Falls to outline a cyber/steampunk Sherlock Holmes novel": www.tumblr.com/dduane/79531...

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

there was a large enough pro-life Dem caucus in the House that it almost sank Obamacare! basically all of them lost their seats in the Tea Party wave, and we’ve only seen congressional races get more nationalized since then shitty policy stances aren’t enough to win over these voters

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

But exaggerating the power and efficacy of the state only demoralizes and confuses you and yours. People made a lot of fun of "dont comply in advance" but panicking over something one of these ghouls says in a press conference or social post IS exactly complying in advance.

If Van Hollen wants to throw his hat in the ring in 2028 I will definitely be paying attention.

"This brought me great oy" is the truest typo I have ever typed.

even the fallen sign is on point

Hey, Americans. You’ve been propagandized on levels you’re just starting to grasp. America’s history, mission, and what it represents is a lie. It is not freedom. It is not truth. It is enslavement, destruction, submission. Why do I know this? ‘Cause I’m Native. Some unprogramming advice: (1/3)

when and why did people start to say “feels” as in “i know you have a lot of feels about this”? it’s such an odd construction and i’m agin it

looks like filing in FL didn’t help as much as trump’s team might have hoped

I followed for this thread

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.

Because there's no way you would get on god's green internet and suggest that your primarily white followers block Black and brown people for having and expressing a different relationship to protest and the FBI than you. You would not say "they can't tell you anything of value."

I frequently think about the community college intro to sociology professor I had, how because of him I majored in sociology at UPenn and went to grad school to get a PhD By the time I tried to track him down to tell him, he had passed away Don’t hesitate to thank people who inspire you

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

i remain resolute in my confidence we will win and it will be because we stuck together. dooming and fatalism is not how any of us will get out of this mess. i’m saying this as a veteran climate journalist who is a trans woman. if i have more hope than you, think of what that says about your view

Pfizer person speaking right now at ACIP is acknowledging that many people are still being hospitalized and dying from Covid.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

firmly believe it wasn't what kimmel said about kirk's killer that made dollhands so mad. it was showing this clip and adding: "He's at the 4th stage of grief, construction ... This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish."

I want this man in the senate.

“dictator yam titties” is very good

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

This essay about getting yelled at by dumbasses (the throughline between terrible Internet comments and fascism) is good. archive.is/ip3wH

Great thread, with great advice. This website has some very loud white men who are really invested in not taking direction from anybody who's neither. Black women are not advising caution for clout! They *actually know things white dudes don't.*

please do not send me generic, non-specific "i know what true patriotism is" fundraising texts in 2025. time to be serious people now.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

this is absolutely the way the dems should handle budget negotiations. not "bipartisanship" but clauses with sufficient teeth to blunt this admin's assault on the republic.

All of these words are true so I think it's very important for all of us to ask WHY people in and with power are agreeing to all of this... What's the most logical answer to that question?

a big reason companies are caving this hard is that they're banking on hunkering down for the next 3.5 years and then coasting by when the dust settles Democrats need to make it very clear that there will be future consequences for defecting in this prisoner's dilemma
