NARRATOR: WE DID NOT IN FACT GET IT TOGETHER IN TIME

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

It always baffled me how these right-wing Catholics and Jews thought they could play footsie with fascism. As Chris Rock said, "that trains never late." Dumbasses.

I’m reading War and Peace, and you know, probably a lot more people would read it if they knew just how extremely cunty the dialogue is

That’s Smee in the corner

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

Ansari: "Every person in this country needs to be calling R members of Congress relentlessly. Of all of the issues that have come up over last year, all have been devastating, but we're talking about potential for nuclear war here. That is the language Trump is using & we shouldn't pretend it's not"

people split hairs about the genocide classification all the time, but Trump unambiguously wrote down his intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national group, and then he broadcast it out

hope we find out if it’s haunted

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

We all know this is fascism.

Thread reporting from yesterday in Los Angeles. Includes a police announcement with the chilling phrase “you are no longer protected by any right.”

“I was punk once” Brother so were we all, Father Time spares no one

I say this gently and with love. The ppl watching the No Kings protests and saying “I have nothing in common with these normies, but I support the wine moms and fleece vest dads” are in denial. You are a middle aged bike commuter with a dog and a mortgage. You are these normies.

Went on a hike for a bathroom and passed a sweet elder lady making her way down to the rally area with a No Kings sign written on two paper plates taped together. The vibes are immaculate

A massive No Kings crowd turns out in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Holy New York.

solidarity with all my trans brothers sisters and themsters. You are loved. You are valid. You are enough and you are beautiful just the way you are. Fuck the IOC and the rest of these bigots.

Look, if this country ever gets through this, MAGA memorabilia needs to be treated like Nazi memorabilia. Trump's signature should be akin to scarlet letter. Having a MAGA hat in your house should be like having Klan robes or family photos taken at a lynching.

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

If they could make a girl out of rabbits, she would be no worse than this. But they must make the best of a bad job.

Here is my pride flag everybody! I hung one up yesterday in my office at Boston University, as they seek to enforce and defend a policy of removing them (along with other banners in public view, they say). This is a small act of love for my corner of the world, in a dark time. This flag goes deep.

thought you all should know this is the type of thing going on that the news won't cover

one of my absolute favorite quotes 🫶🏻

and also …

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

"It feels like open season on Somalis. There is this assumption all of a sudden that we did not work for what we have. But I’m a struggling teacher. I’m an educator. I’m a special-needs mom. I work very hard. The feeling I am getting is we’re not wanted here. Not allowed here.”
