I think I found who robbed the louvre

There’s a culture of not talking about the war here. I lived with my grandfather for the first decade of my life and he was a decorated veteran. We didn’t find out the decorated part until ~15 years after he died. He simply wouldn’t talk about the horror. Don’t blame him but war remained mythical.

I know a number of well-educated MAGAs. I too wish folks on the left would quit treating this as a lack of education. What they lack isn't education, or even intelligence. What they lack is empathy.

“FIGHT THE OCCUPATION!”

Sometimes this account brings us real winners

I’m putting “purity test” on the big board of bullshit terms right next to “polarized.” Terms that, when you hear them, the odds the person using them is talking bullshit approaches 100%.

establishment wealth and consolidated corporate power would like you all to just shut up, drink your corn syrup, and not openly opine on how the extraction class is fucking you over in about seventy different ways on the daily that kind of dangerous wokeism has no place in polite society

forgot about the one where Bobby and Luanne Do What Must Be Done

Boggle?!

Please do not RSVP for protests I cannot emphasize this enough. Absolutely under no condition should you do this.

It’s Friday. Shut the fuck up!

Nah sorry, you can't "dox" law enforcement officials, they should be criminally liable for refusing to openly publish that information

“Is he Haitian?” is chilling—this thug is openly implying that when he gets back to his job, he’ll try to punish these people for having the nerve to stop him while he’s driving drunk with his kids in the car.

it doesn't matter how racist he is to them, they still try to help him (them saying "stop talking" at the end is to protect him, because they know it's all being recorded).

What? Not carrying his papers? Isn’t that, like, illegal?

Trump admin in two pictures

Even with a paywall there’s a lot of good news in what remains. I’ve been waiting for Anonymous and their friends to do what they do. So laissez les bons temps rouler.

Don't sit or kneel in front of riot cops. Sitting puts your head at rubber bullet height. Sitting makes it hard to run away from vehicle attacks. Don't point protesters out to the cops. Don't hand protesters over to the cops. Mind your business. What did you see? You didn't see shit.

For all the people kvetching about the optics of “antifa” at the No Kings protests.

Translation is a key to open new worlds and takes a lot of talent. It's not just 1:1 replacing words it's choosing from a myriad of choices that involve tone, grammar, multi-cultural studies, history, author intent, so so so many things. It seems overwhelming to me and I don't know how people do it.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

a big aspect of rightwing politics is being an adult who intentionally bullys children

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

i think we should bring dadaism back as a response to The Horrors. it made sense during world war one

Why do the republicans have a 900 page book of specific actions they plan to take, backed up with 50 years of small local victories making them possible, and the democrats don't? Where is the democrats' version of that

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

When are liberals going to realize that telling people to “not engage” with a violent fascist state is the same as telling a domestic violence victim to just be quiet so their abuser doesn’t have a reason to hit them anymore

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20. Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

If you're driving through Kern County CA at this time of year it's common to see workers harvesting grapes on the side of the road. It was around 90° in Mettler CA around 1pm on the day this photo was taken. Workers were going full speed despite the heat. #WeFeedYou

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs. Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Trump’s new national security memo (NSPM-7) designates the following as terrorism "indicators": 🟥Anti-capitalism 🟥Anti-Christianity 🟥Anti-Americanism 🟥Extremism on gender 🟥Extremism on race This encompasses pretty much everybody to the left of MAGA. @kenklippenstein.bsky.social

I used to say that my cat was “The (most superlative) cat in/on the…” and look around and say something like “room” or “bed” but now I don’t have to look around & I can just say “house”. 😢💔

"My husband loves me and will make sure that I never have to work again. It's what's right for our family. We're equals even though he makes all the money."

"Reproductive freedom should be sacrosanct" and "we should tax women who refuse to breed" are not in fact mutually compatible statements.

The thing about being a birthrate pervert is that there is no way to sound remotely normal. Means tested infertility tax is just the wonk version of some shit the statement glasses couple would say.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

If the tech billionaires build doomsday bunkers then what’s to stop hypothetical angry people from, like, plugging the ventilation shafts? Or putting something dangerous in them?

I hope/pray this very flawed ‘deal’ from Trump that Hamas & Israel agreed to ends the genocide & famine & leads to a real ceasefire. But my biggest fear is there is nothing and no one to stop Netanyahu from resuming the genocide once they get all the hostages back and Trump has his Nobel Prize.

Or swear in a new member of Congress who was elected two weeks ago

Government Smutclown

really wish people would get off substack that shit is so annoying

Doctors are AMAZED at these 10 ways to BOOST your immune system: The Tetanus vaccine The Measles vaccine The Polio vaccine The Mumps vaccine The HPV vaccine The Pneumonia vaccine The Hepatitis B vaccine The Rubella vaccine The Diphtheria vaccine The Covid-19 vaccine - @hislopmd.bsky.social

Okay I am switching sides on the AI "slur" war discourse. Yeah if your clever term for a chatbot is "wireback" or any other deliberate play on an existing racial slur you are going to hell

Actually, humanity—living on a planet that can amply supply the needs of all humans—does owe everyone literal living. Because the only reason anyone in 2025 can’t access the resources needed to live is because people are intentionally keeping them away from them.

Jane Goodall? 😢

Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

800 generals scrolling their cellphones right now.

i know the military leans heavily right but dear God, how can they listen to this and not know it’s insane?
