Me and my best friend J. at the AIDS Memorial Quilt in DC. 1987? He died not long after this at the age of 27. I still think of him almost every day. #worldaidsday #neverforget

Since I stopped using these businesses last year, I guess I celebrate Black Friday everyday! It’s slightly less convenient, but easier than I thought. Won’t you give it a try this week?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

A Republican Trump supporter pleads guilty to child sex abuse charges. Think it’s Epstein? Think again. MAGA is avoiding talking about it, but I'm covering the criminal case of TX megachurch pastor, Robert Morris, & why Republicans are the biggest hypocrites of them all. youtu.be/pVqRxNDtKFs?...

My new favorite animations! @nickmuller703

Trump is involuntarily transferring people from FEMA to ICE. This is during hurricane season! ICE is having trouble hiring people despite the $50k bonuses, and student debt forgiveness!

Sadly appropriate for our time.

STOLEN VALOR

It’s another brat summer, but not in the cool way.

All the truth -

And the hits just keep on coming

I hate agreeing with this - but this feels like where we are.

Be like Petunia and Gary and enjoy a restful #caturday

Looks like Qatar is branching out in their support of terrorists.

If you’re an ICE agent or other local authority committing these unwarranted abductions, fuck you, you’re not just doing your job, you’re failing a moral test. May you never sleep peacefully again

When a nation’s leaders exhibit staggering ignorance and lack of basic decorum, it is not merely their reputation that suffers, but the dignity of the entire country that collapses under the weight of their mediocrity.

Happy Earth Day from me and Gary - who clearly loves the earth. 🌏💚

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

turns out the United States was an incredible moneymaking engine that ran on wokeness

Happy opening day Giants fans! 🧡⚾️🖤

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Perfect 🤣🎯

My mom on her graduation from nursing school. 9 years gone today. 💜✨💧 She was a navy veteran who is absolutely rolling over right now. We’re living in the unimaginable time where I’m glad my mom is dead.

Cartoonist R.E. Burke detained by ICE on backpacking trip

Youve never heard of @team18f.bsky.social but if you’ve ever used a govt website, you have them to thank for it running smoothly. And they were all just fired. I have a feeling this is not something that R voters and constituents can twist, so I recommend sharing their story far and wide! 18f.org

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

Petunia is pensive, chagrined, and concerned about the Zelenskyy Oval Office meeting
