Y'know, even though it's fallen off the internet mainstream lately, that 'man vs bear' debate is still VERY relevant these days Bear. It's still bear. Every single time, bear. medium.com/bouncin-and-...

Fuck respectability politics. medium.com/bouncin-and-...

prepare to have your daughter accused of being a boy and face demands that her gentials be inspected if the dad on the other team thinks that she fouled his special snowflake too hard

Hoping for good news...but preparing for the worst. Much love, y'all. My heart goes out to those communities under threat

How many years have scientists been warning governments about climate change? Since the 1800s? Weird how they don't fucking listen.

Half the time, your choice of who to vote for is a choice of who your opponant is when it comes to fighting for change. A raging idiot with malignant narcissism and a body made up entirely of petty spite, misogyny and racism did not seem like a good choice.

The day they abolish the concept of school lunch debt for little kids is a day I will fucking celebrate. If ever you needed proof that the U.S. is a dystopian hell hole...

To all these MAGA folks out there complaining about how they feel hated because of their 'political opinions' and how unfair that is... Good. Be upset. I hope it hurts. That's how your actions made the rest of us feel.

Earlier today I saw some guy making some extremely ignorant comments about an overweight woman on SNAP. He was talking about how she 'obviously didn't miss any meals' and that 'poverty makes you skinny, not fat.' Sir, take several seats and pay attention. I have a lesson for you.

Anyone else really getting the urge to play through the Fallout series these days? Real life is feelin' awful close to Pre-War America in the series.

My spouse and I would celebrate heartily. I'm Canadian, but he's in the middle of this mess as an American desperately trying to get out before things get worse. The day It Happens and the process of erasing all of Trump's "accomplishments" and crimes begin, we will fucking bake a cake.

Why does the passport... given to U.S. citizens, so they can travel elsewhere... tell people to 'be good?' They're leaving, not being 'welcomed in.'

Sounds like crimes, to me

I'm loving the rain, but my joints damn sure aren't Arthritis sucks, man

Excuse me, do you want us dying in the closet? Fuck you! We are who we are, and you don't get a fucking say. It's not an 'opinion' if you're just parroting bigot talking points

This is what winning looks like!

No shit

I'm so happy to say that since this was written, the Trump regime has backed off the process of dismantling the ocean monitoring devices. For now. The danger isn't over, but for now, pressure won out!

This attitude is fucking disgusting, and not the least bit surprising from a Republican representative.

Trump has no connection to basic reality.

Major quakes in Venezuela, lots of collapsed buildings and potentially thousands of dead. Spread the word, guys, relief efforts need help! www.world-weary.com/p/earthquake...

We need people willing to implement the structural reforms to reverse this downward spiral. If those people are economic policy moderates I will vote for them. If they are socialists I will vote for them. I will vote for anyone who understands the moment we are in.

Moderates got you into the mess you're in. They will NOT get you out of it They'll just beg the right wing to meet them in the middle and pout a little bit while they keep shoving kids in concentration camps

Don't Look Up in real fucking life

no one can moderate their way out of fascism. the people have finally woken up.

Apparently a staggering number of the voting population seems perfectly fine with living in a fascist state, so long as they get to be wearing the boots. Or, at least, that they be allowed to lick the boots worn by their Dear Leader.

“This sentence is based on the ideology and not the facts of the crime” voiced out loud on the record during the trial by the judge seems like compelling grounds for an appeal.

I think based on available evidence it would be safe to say that in every single department in America, there is at least one cop who became a cop just to get his gun off.

Alert! Suppression of trusted media sources is NEVER a good sign

A very happy Pride to the Reflecting Pool as it unveils its authentically swampy self

Not gonna lie, this is pretty exciting! And unsurprising, considering current leadership

Can't imagine why they treat the American leadership with such disgust after an uncalled for, illegal war led to mass deaths on their soil Hard to figure that out

When fragile egos and unchecked power collide

Very very not good

Reminder that DHS should be abolished, as should many of the agencies within it. HSI describes their mission as "investigations into the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." But they're guarding a pool so people can't see that Trump ruined it.

I love when my articles go a bit viral, but it always brings the wacky comments rolling in. Right now I'm being inundated with Climate Change skeptics and nutters talking about aliens and Earth cycles and hoax accusations. Guys...come on. It's 2026. Give it up, already. At least get new theories!

This is an older article I wrote years ago, but it's still one of my best - at least in my humble opinion. I love that old coffee shop job. But it didn't treat me right. We devalue 'entry level' work, but everyone working full time deserves a living wage. #workersrights medium.com/bouncin-and-...

A very happy Summer Solstice to all! And a happy Father's Day, too. My dad must be thrilled at the timing! A good day for the garden, he'd say.

From Sam Stein:

Damn, I had an article on Medium absolutely blow up out of nowhere! Way to reignite my flagging confidence, guys! Thank you all so much!

A.L.G.A.E. : Anticapitalist Little Greta Thunbergs Are Everywhere. It’s the name of our non hierarchical org.

Trump can't even walk in a straight line these days. Seriously, how much longer are they going to keep putting him in front of a camera? They have to know he's going to keel over on national TV at some point and it'll be impossible to cover it up

Not making a whole lot of progress on draining the swamp, huh?

Look, I'm a writer. I've written everything from horror fiction short stories to political articles. I could not have come up with a more perfect, illustrative metaphor for Trump's fascist power grab than that fucking algae filled Reflecting Pool travesty. I will die mad about it

Yes indeed and you'll be in the history books.
