With reports of a brain-dead Mitch McConnell, it is critical to avoid the distinction that people want to make between Trump and the GOP. McConnell is the most effective and destructive politician of the 21st century and was the architect of Trump's entire agenda.

Someone who hates capitalism and likes illustrations: get another bid in on MV, my sister is currently winning and I want to mess with her 😂

We don’t celebrate the founding of the nation on the anniversary of Conwallis’ surrender, of Washington’s inauguration, or any of the events most countries might choose. We celebrate on the day people signed a manifesto.

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

UPDATE

possibly every person should do one of these LOL

ok @romancingthevote.com I know it’s too late to edit my listings but I bullied @elvy.bsky.social into adding BONUS ARTWORK anyway here’s links! www.32auctions.com/organization... www.32auctions.com/organization...

On Damnatio Memoriae and de-Trumpification. (Gift link) Been waiting for this one to go up. Please read and share.

Hello everyone! On the day before the auction, we're going to talk about WHY we do this, something that has particular salience on the day that final SCOTUS opinions are released and we once again have to try to remove the knives from our backs.

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

Tired of participating in the social contract, tired of leaving space for folks to learn and grow, tired of extending compassion, tired of choosing to nurture care instead of sharing grudges, tired of practicing rehabilitative mindset But! Bitch who cares, do it tired

I would like Anthropic to pay me for the twenty books they stole and then go bankrupt after the check clears But honesty seeing them go bankrupt at any time would be fine

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

holy shit????? ICE is getting rid of seven of the 11 would-be concentration camp warehouses they purchased and sec. mullin indicates new mass detention centers are not priority. huge!

Just finished up the annotations for a copy of Marginal Virtue for @romancingthevote.com and you know I really cooked with this one! If you want to save democracy and also get a weird lil novel with behind the scenes commentary plus a sweet playlist in the marginalia, you know what to bid on

We are closing in on 400 individual listings on the auction site already (with two weeks to go!!!) but with the sum total of Buy it Now items factored in... we're closing in on 2,000!!! THANK YOU to everyone who's donated. If you are considering it and have questions, our website has a form now!

Quiet! My favorite show is on.

I WANT TO OWN MY MEDIA FUCKING TIRED OF RENTING BRAH

Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

i’m so SICK of sneering, condescending nihilism masquerading as the only form of serious political analysis. stop it!!! the arc of the moral universe is long as hell & we’re all gonna need to push if we want it to bend toward justice so pull yourself together!!!

thank god we have kelly. this is such a perfectly phrased reminder of something i’ve been ruminating on a lot lately. this hit me like a lightning bolt. stop inviting people to surrender.

Catastrophe can be plausible without being preordained, and treating every danger as destiny does not make us more prepared. My latest.

Welcome new followers! We love it when @gregpak.net brings us new friends! For those who don't know, we're an auction running July 1st - July 5th to benefit Vote Riders & The Southern Coalition for Social Justice, because we believe in voting rights! Learn more at www.romancingthevote.com

Donald Trump Is Finally Cracking Up for Real newrepublic.com/article/2101... via @newrepublic.com

I think it's under-appreciated how much user-hostile recipe sites and news articles smothered in pop-ups and video ads have negatively polarized the average normie against the open web, and helped to drive adoption of AI as an alternative way to get basic information

NOT DEAD YET? President Donald Trump is again demanding Congress pass a sweeping set of voting restrictions and refuses to rule out sending troops to the polls, as Democrats and voting rights groups assemble potential protections. From States Newsroom:

This gave me a lot of pangs

very cool that the suicide coach machine is deciding whether or not people get healthcare

Behind the scenes with the coolest snack crew!Our otter family received a wiggly, chilly treat to enjoy: frozen Jell-O enrichment! Sticky paws and happy squeaks. 💙 📹: Animal care staff Katie

Amaze! amaze! Hot take: we cannot love humanity as a whole if we cannot love particular persons (including lovable rock aliens!) My thoughts on Project Hail Mary are up on @reactorsff.bsky.social reactormag.com/the-deep-hum...

This is what The Starving Saints is about @caitlinstarling.com

man, what a beautiful and tough read. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yes, I think the enormity of Elon Musk racking up Pol-Pot levels of mass killing is so hideous to contemplate that many people just….aren’t.

Hotlines for US soldiers thinking of leaving the armed forces as "conscientious objectors" are being overwhelmed. Almost all the calls mention the bombing of the girls' school in Iran that killed more than 100 school children. www.npr.org/2026/04/10/n...

Brutal.
