America really really hates women.

"Curtis Evans, of Evanston, a military veteran USMC, carries Flag through gas deployed by federal officers clear protesters Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)" "campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable"

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Men will have fireworks at a funeral before they go to therapy.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

The left is not radical, cool, bitchin’, wicked awesome, or tubular.

No particular reason

I’m seeing Lucy Darling tonight and I’m so looking forward to it.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

forever singing “ranked choice voting” to the tune of “cat scratch fever”

extremely obvious thought of the day: volunteering is hard (btw, fellow Michiganders, please sign your name to get ranked choice voting onto the 2026 ballot! this volunteer would be ever so grateful)

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

My heart is too tender to withstand much more of this.

“Conrad, a librarian of two decades, said the trend is continuing into September, as students are borrowing 39 percent more books than last year.”

That silly little picture you generated is cranking up energy costs, hurting artists, and adding absolutely nothing to the world.

For folks who are asking me why they haven't heard of WFP, here's what you need to know to get involved. They are currently backing Mamdani, Fateh, Abughazaleh and a host of others. They have endorsed slates in every election. workingfamilies.org/about/

So many cowards.

I want a party where protecting the most vulnerable in our society is priority number one.

I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but the reason we have like two companies that own virtually all local tv stations is because of the Clinton administration's Telecommunications Act of 1996, which gutted regulations that hindered media company consolidations.

If anything the retirement age should be lowered.

Oh this is so good

We need an actual progressive political party. Democrats ain’t it.

Dutch late night TV has its take

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

One might argue this is at least as important as Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension--and it's not new, just getting worse.

Libraries shouldn’t be neutral. They should be subversive.

“Before I get in to why our DEMOCRACY IS CRUMBLING can you shoot the Democrats $3 for…reasons??”

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Yeet the rich

I’ve been seeing people post about “Latine”heritage month, but it’s still Hispanic Heritage month, right? Latine and Hispanic aren’t interchangeable. It’s important to me that heritage month displays only include accurate and relevant materials and Hispanic heritage always took careful checking.

We should never have left lockdown

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.

Oh good more cognitive dissonance today! I LOVE IT

all of this makes me want to scream, but the part I'm going to be up all night rage-spiraling about is accusing her of "potentially endangering the physical safety of our staff" just flippin' those narratives right around so the Black woman, a TARGET of violent hate speech, becomes the aggressor

In all the talk about Charlie Kirk, there’s not been nearly enough discussion about murders and suicides of LGBTQIA+ people—especially youth. Kirk and his allies targeted that community, stoking hate, misunderstanding, and radicalization.

Novellavember is coming up! Read novellas in November 🍂 🍂🍂🍂 I've been trying to make this a thing for like 4 years now. 🫠 #Novellavember

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

"harrison bergeron," written 64 years ago, accurately predicted that devices would interrupt our streams of thought to keep us from thinking too much

Parents of young children should be organizing relentlessly for free universal childcare because this seems unsustainable. Truly. At the very least, folks should be vociferously backing politicians who run on this.

Vaccinated and it feels so good.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Clearly your life only matters if you’re rich, white, and male.

How can anyone be expected to bear the burden of this much cognitive dissonance every damn day?

Our government is mostly made up of people too old and out of touch to understand how internet brain rot is playing out in real life, and that just might be a big problem.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

This really illustrates why we need younger people in government.
