If Trump speaks anywhere—including the SOTU—without being drowned out by people yelling “quiet, piggy!,” we have failed as a nation.

Time to post the Tony Hoagland November poem again

Kid (3.25) keeps calling Santa “the old man.”

Timeline cleanse.

Blue sky, green sky, pink sky, purple sky.

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” -Ta-Nehisi Coates

I love the smell of hope in the morning.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Happy Candy For Breakfast to all who celebrate ✨

Thank god Halloween is over and there are no more major holidays until Christmas

Let’s see how “don’t let them eat cake” plays out.

Daydreaming of masses of people just nonstop guttural screaming shrieking roaring wordless animal sounds like enraged banshees, right in the face of ICE as they piss their chinos.

goddammit i have to work late in the lab tonight

Real shit

Somewhere in the vicinity of 12-13% of the country will run out of food in the next week and we don’t have a plan.

As ICE continues to terrorize our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, 9 cyclists came together this morning at 6am to buyout 5 vendors and donate the food to a local shelter. They went home safe, hungry ppl were fed, this is #BikeChi ✊🏽

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

The way Dems treat Mamdani versus Platner... hm

We can save the White House from demolition but it’s going to cost money. A lot of money. Don’t worry, I have a plan: let’s put on a show

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

There is a dad lugging a toddler away from the playground shouting for his eldest to follow… “PERSEPHONE!!” He loads them both into a white Tesla.

let it happen soon, let it be painful, may all the rest scatter witless and terrified before the wave of joy that's coming unstoppable as death

I gave the recipe for Camino’s Tunisian orange cake to my favorite baker in town and she NAILED IT. I have been ✨transported✨ to a decade ago, grinning under those beautiful chandeliers.

let’s just point them at each other so we can get back to making art

Fortunately there's only 3 more years of rapidly escalating fascism before there's a peaceful exchange of power

Shhh let them cook

Hail Zorp!

Received my order from Sonny Ross 😍 www.sonnyross.com

Next up: comedy talk shows made completely with government-sanctioned AI.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

What’s the name for an authoritarian government that’s too fucking stupid to do authoritarianism correctly

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

"The sad truth is that white supremacy is not a deal breaker for many white liberals."

now that they have a guy in custody that isn't the evil gay abortion loving democrat they were initially blaming, it is important that you not forgot who your friends, family and colleagues showed themselves to be this week

Sure looks like a stroke to me. Just had the most delightful thought: him, unable to speak. Just being in the world, hearing and understanding everything around him but completely unable to speak. Ahh.

This fucker had a stroke, man. bsky.app/profile/atru...

it always feels like we're being forced to throw a dinner party for the worst people on earth, and we have to shut up and smile and be gracious, no complaints, while the worst people on earth are our honored guests and we best not embarrass ourselves in front of them no matter what they do to us

A collective fawn response.

Gonna need the names of the etsy witches.

Here’s the thing: “releasing the Epstein files” won’t do a damn thing. Not one thing. America has always known exactly who Trump is, and voted for him anyway (twice!). Not because America doesn’t care who he is, but almost the opposite. America LIKES who he is. America LIKES abusing girl children.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Sheriffs nationwide have enormous control over jail voting access, with many restricting mail and voter guides, making it nearly impossible for incarcerated people to vote. A new law in Colorado removed that discretion—and turnout has soared.

Well, see y’all next Friday.

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though

Just remembering getting the news that Obama had won the presidency while lifeguarding an empty pool at the Berkeley Y, and pacing for an hour until I could join the neighbors and throw a street party.
