Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

Why isn't this genocide a bigger story?

This image. This will be his legacy.

Conde Nast now going full fascist is of no surprise to any of us who have worked there.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

slow clap

Corporate media really out here shutting down anyone daring to resist fascism

What a swell weekend it was at Mar-A-Lago

You had me at "Sex bat horror vampire sex"

brilliant idea

Some much-needed, very good news on the literary funding front

The SS vibes are strong with this one

Get you a candidate that quotes Toni Morrison

As if you needed another reason to drop Spotify

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

"The Epstein Ballroom"--the perfect name for this monstrosity

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Trump is now just flaunting his corruption and self-dealing

The Cuomo campaign is a beautifully oiled machine in the service of Zohran

Die Neue Reichskanzlei ("New Reich Chancellery"), Berlin, c. 1939: (1) reception hall; (2) main dining hall; (3) entrance to the office of the Führer, with SS guards; (4) office of the Führer.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

Really looking forward to No Kings Day on Saturday

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

Psyched to have a new poem up at @oneart.bsky.social #poetry

Good.

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

So embarrassing traveling abroad these days.

Psyched to have three new poems up in Canary #poetry

again, it is an especially great time to support & buy books from the wonderful team at @loyaltybooks.bsky.social: loyaltybookstores.com

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

When satire feels all to real…

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a reporter try to get comments from all of these people about their initial impulse to declare a literal war on half of their fellow citizens and to see if any of them regret it, apologized for it or learned anything at all from it.

What @anandwrites.bsky.social said

Smart, nuanced piece by @paisleyrekdal.bsky.social about having a speech at the Air Force Academy canceled because of her social media posts about Trump.
