tbh we’re gonna need a lot of dumb dumb fart hammers

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.

it feels like my country is an assembly line for producing crimes against humanity which no one will ever punish, or even bother to pretend caring about, and it's making me crazy

remember you can always burn Shein clothes for petroleum

Gavin Newsom sweating like old dynamite watching Labour's 'transphobia & bigotry' strategy eat shit tonight lol

Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.

crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey

looks like it's time to go back to tha old me

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

South Korea: President does an insurrection, gets arrested, tried, sentenced to life in prison. South Koreans are mad he didn't get the death penalty. USA: President does an insurrection, nothing happens to him. Americans vote him back into office less than four years later. I hate it here.

Man, fuck Tyra Banks.

Girl, fuck Tyra Banks.

NextDoor first made me realize I lived among people who would have turned in Anne Frank and her family.

Alysa Liu. A proud product of Oakland.

when I learned she was from Oakland I was like, "yeah. of course. this tracks. i'm both scared of her and want to be her at the same time."

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

Could everyone please stop using Substack? It’s not news that it platforms far right, anti-trans, and neo Nazi folks. There are alternatives like @buttondown.com

After the shooting, I watched as agents unloaded tear gas onfurious protesters who had assembled at the site of the shooting. Heavily armored law enforcement faced off against a crowd of unarmed protesters carrying signs and screaming for justice and retribution. www.propublica.org/article/minn...

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Do not for one second believe that Californians are united behind Newsom as a presidential candidate regardless of our support for prop 50

I've tried to give Kaiser Permanente the benefit of the doubt. It's what I imagined healthcare for all would look like. Not perfect but decent care. But I'm done. I went to the ER with severe injuries, including likely torn ligaments in my knee, and they won't even examine it for nearly a month. 1/x

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

What the fuck?

It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and protect each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

Israeli forces killed more than 70 people in Gaza on Wednesday and launched deadly attacks on Yemen.

I take it all back, there ARE violent criminals on the streets of San Francisco. They're grabbing people off the street and pepper spraying journalists.

When Clarence Thomas meets a white billionaire who needs a favor.

I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧵

Liberalism ENABLED the end of slavery, but did not drive it. Slaves themselves ended slavery & Haiti was founded as a result. A new biography by @juliagaffield.bsky.social tells the story of Jean-Jacque Dessalines, who France demonized in revenge. My @liberalcurrents.com interview:

you have no idea what black americans are about to do with this picture.

This is what heaven looks like. Never ending dumplings and polite canine chunksters.

1. The extra marginal tax rate will affect millionaires' daily lives almost not at all, which is why in reality none of them would leave the state. 2. When you have this much money, your accountant/financial folks are already making you as tax efficient as possible. www.wbur.org/news/2025/04...

Public health officials in Florida are reporting 21 cases of campylobacter and E. coli infections linked to drinking raw milk, all from the same farm.

despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

starting to think we should give "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords" a chance as a basis for our system of government

RIP to a real one

Omg i just realized this is who K pop boys look like

I can't believe people are actually celebrating the death of Hulk Hogan just because *reads literally anything about Hulk Hogan* Oh. Carry on then.

a gen z’er at work just said “who is hulk hogan? was he famous in the 1900’s?” so i reported her to HR

"Last Thursday, at a town hall in Jonesborough, Tennessee, a 35-year-old woman shared her story: she was denied prenatal care by her physician because they objected to the fact that she wasn’t married, nor did she plan to be." nashvillebanner.com/2025/07/20/d...

I understand the allure of wanting to be a "carry guns and wear leather jackets" Black Panther but there's a case to be made that the most dangerous ones were the "feed kids breakfast and teach them about settler colonialism" Black Panthers

holy shit lmao
