I am begging people to stop acting like we have to compromise or right wingers will enact fascism. THEY WILL ENACT THE FASCISM ANYWAY. The conservative justices on SCOTUS are going to rule against trans rights no matter what principle Kagan and Sotomayor try to follow. So why join them?

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Oh, this isn't posted as a click bait prompt, but I'm doing it anyway. I think my favorite "all-text, no-subtext" movie is probably Moulin Rouge? So little happening in that silly head, yet the sheer energy of the spectacle and emotion makes it one of my favorite musicals.

some of my favorite all-text-no-subtext movies: - fantastic planet - the matrix 4 - american pyscho

arguing for 99% less subtext going forward. make it text!!!!!!!

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

every day the trump administration forces me to explain a fetish subculture to my mom and I’m sick of it, frankly

this time period has really turned me against data, conceptually. like, I think many of things we collect “data” about, we shouldn’t. I think the ways we measure success are not helpful by and large. and the collected information is easily able to be misused.

Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano died in ICE custody on March 25 at Adelanto, CA. He is the 14th person to die in ICE detention in 2026. That's one death every 6 days holding with what I can only call morbid precision.

also if the pope excommunicates JD Vance, I will be back in the pew

Fascists want us to believe that they can weaponize any actions we take against us. If we feel like inaction is the only "safe" choice, it's easier them to escalate their violence. The reality is that almost anything we do to oppose them is more protective than doing nothing.

“The conference, tentatively planned for June or July, will convene officials from various nations to discuss strategies for battling antifa…” The more effort this administration puts into countering anti fascism, the more imperative it is for everyone to be actively anti fascist.

so much of life right now is fetishists not realizing they are fetishists and wanting to make their fetish a law for some reason

WFH is back too. Lol

The Right is a psychosexual disaster.

This Court is illegitimate. The regime it flails desperately to sustain is illegitimate. That they are expressions of our existing systems of governance reveals that these, too, are illegitimate.

damn I might be Canadian now

adam says it much more succintly. the american right will happily impoverish the united states and make it an oversized backwater if it means they can dominate women and minorities and play act as a master class

The U.S. Supreme Court is not a legitimate institution which respects the constitution, the people's will or our individual rights. We should not treat it as a legitimate institution while that is the case. It's just some guys with opinions!

we the unhoused is nominated for a webby again this year, and would love your vote! Theo has created such an incredible space for unhoused voices and the mutual aid landscape of LA, and every vote helps us keep the show going ❤️ vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting...

The Supreme Court has once again ignored the facts, allowing kids to be subjected to harmful, abusive, and discredited attempts to “convert” their gender identity or sexual orientation by licensed medical professionals. Children should NEVER be forced to endure these cruel practices.

I don’t know when California voted on the law to reveal who is actually funding these ads but it was a great law and I love it. the consumer lawyer attack ad only funded by Uber of course. swalwell’s top donor is Uber? need to know info!

Saturday in LA at No Kings 3 LAPD - 3 press unlawfully detained 2+ hours - 2 press unlawfully arrested & cited - 3 possible press handcuffed and driven away, identity/status unknown - Dozens of press unlawfully obstructed DHS - Person holding camera shot in face - Threw tear gas at group of press

Radical stickers seen around Lake Havasu City, Arizona. We've got a bunch of copies of these, and numerous other designs. If you're interested in buying a mix pack of radical slaps, check out: radicalstickers.bigcartel.com

This is largely by design. If we stop thinking about AI as simply technology and instead as part of a political and economic program, its chief function become easier to see: namely to erode interpersonal trust so that ultimately we give up on forms of agreement & negotiation arbitrated by people.

“She was very much ahead of her time… this is a formerly enslaved Black woman who was speaking with an unfettered, unrestrained radicalism.” - @williamcson.bsky.social

Looks like we're turning the "restaurant prices" dial all the way up. Surely voters will appreciate this

I write the first draft of most of my stuff longhand.

Mac updated Pages and will not allow you to copy/paste from the old version of Pages to the new version of Pages

y’ever just google “mussolini’s body” and sigh for a while

this happens in California too as anyone and their mother runs as a democrat but some of them are just evil guys

the fanfiction people should be leading the charge against age verification

I don't think they'll make it, but if you dopes pick Rahm or Newsom, you'll deserve everything you get. Both of those guys have oppo files longer than War & Peace and have more skeletons in their closet than a Spirit Halloween. Strategically it's stupid and the media wants you to pick a loser

From the same report: 22.7 million renter households in the U.S. are now cost-burdened—a new all-time record. And of those, 12.1 million are spending more than half their income on housing (up 1.5 million since the start of the pandemic and 4.6 million since 2001).

my favorite conservative artist is Neil Breen and when I saw him speak once he said, “I make movies. Anyone can do it.” and he was right and it was inspiring.

LAPD beat up or kettled so many current political candidates at No Kings. incredible stuff.

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210. $210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

California lives rent free in the reactionary mind.

whatever the fuck is going on with Rebel Wilson is my "relatively low stakes news story to discuss instead of The Horrors" this week

if you, a moot, want my zines dm me and I will link you to my pdfs

America did not meet the universal adult suffrage criteria of democratic governance until 1965. Gatorade is the exact same age as American democracy.

as of this month, I have produced 14 months worth of physical newsletters for my neighborhood. yay.

Fun fact, LAPD's horse mounted unit is funded almost entirely by private donations.

Camus explains how liberalism won't help you get out of fascism.

I love city. So do most people.

The average dem voter wants to see firing squads and charred mansions, and these dipshits are out here asking $500,000 a year McKinsey consultants to prompt a chatbot for the meanest homophobic roasts.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Christianity really biffed it by not converting me. I'd be a great proselytizer.*** ***I handed out a lot of zines today

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me

cannot stop telling people about moby dick
