I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

“On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that Amazon restricted reviews of the vice president’s new book to verified purchasers only, leaving the tome with just seven reviews: six five-stars and one two-star. On Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon, reviews were disabled entirely.”😂

Hot and strong, is it not?

Always evil to the point of anti human

Picked up this sweet beautiful girl in atlanta. Ive got her now but need to find a foster. (Ive got three cats in 800 sqft and a lease that limits me to two)

On occasion of Moscow burning a reminder that Russia engaged in the kidnapping and placement of Ukrainian children into Russian families. A generational crime which Russia and Great Russians, collectively, will face deep social and diplomatic consequences until the end of my life, certainly.

We already know that most of the CBP and ICE agents committing violence are long-time agents. Bovino was in CBP his whole career. This is a way to whitewash how racist ICE and CBP have always been. They were designed to be racist!

This kind of thing is being done by people who know about this stuff but are doing it to juice there audience and get more followers. The ranch lady lived in SoCal.

Pregnant mothers often wrote goodbye letters to their families in case they died in childbirth.

Spectacular explosion in the Kapotnya refinery in Moscow, Russia. This silo not only exploded but also catapulted the roof of the building into the air.

Ezra Klein is doing secret societies the right way

1/3 of homicides by a person unknown to the victim are perpetrated by COPS

Today is I'm reminded that upper administration of universities are filled with rootless climbers occupying their position for a few years until the next stepping stone is available. No connection to the institution, no institutional memory, and no interest other than self interest.

Everything is a remix, nothing is entirely new.

Muslims trying to join the white/christian nationalist party goes as expected.

The great thing about Ben's op-ed is that it doesn't stop at organizing to win elections. Winning elections is the precursor to necessary institutional reforms to make America an actual representative democracy. This is the way. The platform must be institutional reform: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The woman in the link below calls it "respect for everything." If we need one English word, I would nominate "stewardship" — care for people, matter, the land, anything that enables us to live responsibly.

we spent the last century reinventing the physical experience of womanhood to the obvious and vast benefit of humanity and I don’t think we should give any of that back voluntarily

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

"Already long ago, ever since we sold our vote to no man, the people have abdicated our duties; for the people who once bestowed military commands, high office, legions, everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses." Decimus Junius Juvenalis, C 127 CE

Russia celebrate knicks win

From Tonight’s Column: I have never forgotten Roberts’ comments...I remembered his comments when Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot execution style on the streets of Minneapolis, because comments like that aren’t something you just move on from. joycevance.substack.com/p/autocracy-...

There are so many things that are completely unforgivable done by the American Fascists— this is one of them — www.samueldekorte.com/articles/mar...

At the center of this was the “Great Compression” in wages, as examined by Goldin and Margo in 1992. The FLSA finally cracked into the nation’s regional wage divergences, as well.

Admin doing what the admin claims is justification to immediately shoot the driver in self defense

It's always wild to find out that an author of transhuman sci-fi is an outspoken transmisogynist. Like, pump the brakes, buddy – you think personhood is mutable but gender is innate?

Yes, this sounds extreme, but either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution matters, or it doesn't. DOGE was the worst, most unprecedented looting/sacking of the US government by a private citizen ever, & Musk belongs in jail for the rest of his life, & his government-backed wealth confiscated.

Always worth noting that 1.1% stopping hormones clearly indicates we make it too hard to access treatment.

This plane took 35 shackled people from the DC-Baltimore area — 28 men and seven women — to an ICE gulag near Alexandria, Louisiana tonight. They paint them all white so you don’t know it’s Air Wisconsin.

This weekend I hear

“You dismissed charges because of prosecutor misconduct a 2nd time?”

lol fuck Cornyn. Absolutely fuck this guy

Israeli firms, well trained in capitalism, now also feel finally free of that pesky morality

Totally unenforceable contract

righteous among the nations

Have a less radical theory that transphobia tends to hit people in middle age because that's when humans begin to de-gender, something widely recognised in other societies that ours doesn't really know how to deal with...

A lot of people were always ambivalent about the gender they were assigned to, but having that taken away without a social script is really destabilising. Mumsnet is of course ground zero for this, but it can impact men too. Doesn't mean they're closet cases who need to crack their egg...

In a Capitol Hill briefing, a high-ranking officer on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff stated that some of the people killed by the U.S. military may have been the victims of human trafficking. interc.pt/4xgem3f

The entirety of Powell and Pressburger's THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COL. BLIMP (1943) is available on YouTube for free, so you have no excuse not to watch it One of the gayest antifascist stories ever filmed, as well as just one of the best goddamn movies ever made, period Hit that play button, folks!!

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

We truly need more everyday civic heroes. Not because heroes are who will get us out of this but because they can change public perception of what is possible and inspire more people to act You CAN just tell a federal prosecutor in front of other grand jurors that their case is a crock of shit

I think the "crock of shit" juror should come forward to collect whatever the northern district equivalent of a key to the city is

Of course this is disqualifying and non-traitors, antifascists, AND ALL DEMs should treat it as such.

That One Matt Bors Comic is FUNDED. Thanks to everyone for participating. There are 24 hours to lock in pre-orders for this book analyzing the life of a single panel of a comic strip: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

But what happens when the court says you can’t ban gerrymandering?

Someone should explain the difficulty of running your business from prison

I read somewhere once that the basic state of human affairs is failure. The majority of what we do simply does not work and strenuous effort is required to make any institution function at even a basic level. From this viewpoint the modern academy is honestly a total marvel.

Always pointing out that Elon Musk has deliberately murdered hundreds of thousands of people mostly in the global south and it is estimated that he will have murdered 14 million people via DOGE alone in the next 5 years.
