If some white person is racist to me when I move into their neighborhood, I’m keeping their damn dog that got out during the storm.

Tre is one of the best modern day drummers.

Green Day performs "American Idiot" at the 60th Super Bowl.

I already forgot bcz I am old if they did this section of the song, but yes, the first song is also overtly political too- and boulevard of broken dream is less so but in context of album it’s talking about hopelessness and desolation in fucked up moral majority world.

The title of their last song is American Idiot. From the album American Idiot.

YES. PLZ.

Green. Day. Is My President.

a thread of (some of) my thoughts about the Super Bowl ad the National Council for #Adoption is touting. +

Adoption is not social welfare. It is what happens because we *reject* social welfare—because we do *not* help those who need it most. Adoption is a *business*: the business of making affluent people into the parents of less fortunate people’s children.

And along with this absolute nightmare, they said at the training today that churches are encouraging parents to sign termination of their parental rights and give rights to church.

by contrast, i am mentioned exactly zero times

Finally made it to a local anti-ice training and I feel a lot more empowered. Being scared shitless all the time sucks and part of being scared shitless but able to still function a bit is finding your role and learning other people’s roles so you know the system and how to keep ur feet under you.

"Mike Tyson talks about his sister’s death from obesity in an ad urging people to eat real, unprocessed food. The ad was paid for by MAHA Center Inc., ..." *stares at the camera*

Ah yes, "wellness" and "personal responsibility" amid ascendant fascism

Oh hey are you the most decorated woman athlete in US history? Here’s a healthy thing for you to lose weight!

His GoFundMe is here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-le... - I donated a few days ago.

I appreciate how this is framed too. As a former migrant worker, it infuriates me when ‘supportive’ people say things like ‘oh let them do the work nobody else wants to.’ Entire food groups wouldn’t be eaten by people in US if not for exploitation of immigrant labor. Support these workers!

The US food system is highly dependent on the exploitation of immigrant labor from farms to processing plants - the trump administration is ratcheting up unjust policies that have been developed through decades. These workers are showing amazing courage under terrible circumstances.

There is going to be an uptick in misinformation about maternal immunization in advance of the ACIP meeting later this month. This particular bit of disinformation is about COVID vaccines and pregnancy - #MedSky + #IDSky + #ObGynSky. (1/5)

Aaaah I see.

I’ve always loved this song- had no idea that Carole King co-wrote it, but I can definitely hear her influence now.

With tax season in full swing, here's our reminder that TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free. (Published 2019)

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

We’re a few legislative sessions from these schools being targeted for closure imo

Consider all the drivers, hotel staff, and restaurant staff that these people have exposed while taking their annual victory lap around ending the right to an abortion

There should be Congressional hearings over this

You've heard of Kent State (1970) & maybe Jackson State (1970). Did you know #tdih 1968, 28 students were injured and three killed (one a HS student) — most shot in the back by state police while involved in a peaceful protest in Orangeburg, SC? 💔 🧵 Read ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/or...

I currently have the start of an anti Nazi hat that my cat chewed up the yarn on and I have absolutely not followed the very simple pattern with bcz I was drunk at least one night I worked on it. I love that hat already and I will fight for it.

Temp rated outerwear are a must! Got this winter coat from Lands' End in 2019 and it's still going strong (rated to -4°F). I've had my Kamik snow boots since 2018 and they can still kick/dislodge chunks of ice while keeping my toesies warm (rated to - 25°F). Both are pretty lightweight, too.

they fired everybody who knows that Puerto Ricans are American

I mean- what’s wrong with *oligarchs*. My own senator helped redirect from oligarch to ‘king’ (as in no kings!) and I’m wondering why so many senators have a problem with plain and simple and not anti-Semitic tinged *oligarchs*

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

It was another busy week for voting and democracy. President Trump issued his clearest statement yet about taking control of elections. And after House Speaker Mike Johnson welcomed Trump’s comments, the GOP proposed the most restrictive voting bill in modern U.S. history. Read more here.

I’m just seeing what’s happening to Britain and the US, and I’m like, do Britain and the US even fucking have govts anymore? Or do we have a conglomeration of representatives from other countries fighting over who gets our tax money?

****exactly****

I will never get over Vance writing that as a Yale student he had no idea what "sparkling water" might be and used it as an example of the elites intimidating the poors. This tracks. Minestrone and a Milanese cutlet would be too exotic and snooty for him.

That’s because he’s an oligarch and the entire point of buying that paper was to have control. And now he’s used his control to act in solidarity just as Elon musk continues to do as well as the hostile take over owners of TikTok do.

For #SuperbOwl Sunday, a thread of superb owls by artist Morris Graves. First up: Morris Graves, "Owl on a Stone," 1968

Here’s a small roundup of links to GoFundMe pages for families with members abducted by ICE. Most of these are from families in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Please donate if you can. comixaction.com/nyc-fundrais...

An 18 month old was *sent back to prison*.

I don’t know the difference between doing this intentionally and unintentionally would be. But it’s clearly where we are.

Nothing has stopped in Minnesota.

i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off

"No matter what happens, we'll be here" is yet another line that should go on the Minnesota wall of quotes about *all this*

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I am so so so happy to see this pictures!!! And I can’t wait until little Diana and Mr Grey Kitten are reunited finally!!! And we all must keep working hard to make sure all of the families are released for good!!

What’s ur favorite commodore song.

This deserves to be spread as far and wide as what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti. apnews.com/article/immi...

We've lost the magic of riz that peaked in the 70s/80s. I think that's why people go nuts for Bruno Mars too. Men used to understand they could and should appear as slutty as women, for women, and it's time for a RETVRN.

Oh!!!
