George RR Martin's greatest contribution to our political culture was ingraining the contempous phrase "bend the knee" to describe the surrender of power to monstrous authoritarians. It had become the shorthand of our time to describe the feckless surrender of power by cowards.

Apparently, you don't have to use the word STOP to unsubscribe from Republican election campaign texts

Quick note- yesterday, I hated fascists. Today, I hate fascists. Tomorrow, I will still fucking hate fascists. All the rest of you? I've got nothing but love.

I don't remember when I laughed this hard: bsky.app/profile/comp...

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

An important message from the president of Antifa 😂 🤭

This is all he said.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...

@mcuban.bsky.social I assume it doesn't fit your model, but I hope you find a way into the vaccination market

Age verification via face scans is not safety — it's surveillance. Biometric age guessing is inaccurate, discriminatory, and creepy AF. Stop normalizing it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

BREAKING: Trump just missed Gavin Newsom’s ultimatum. California will officially draw new gerrymandered maps in favor of democrats.

Apropos of nothing, do flat earthers also think the sun is flat?

My cartoon in this weeks @newyorker.com

My conspiracy theory is that How To Your Dragon is set 10000 year before the Doom of Valaryia and that Daeneryis Targaryen is a descendant of Astrid

I don't like the label "billionaires". It allows too much anonymity. Those who stand to benefit most from the tax cuts have names. Don't be afraid to publicly name and shame them.

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

#PSA IF YOU NEED HELP REACH OUT. I NEVER CHARGE TO HELP ANYONE WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION. OR CALL THE NUMBER BELOW.

Can we all agree that the phrase "full stop" no longer packs a rhetorical punch?

Every accusation is an intention.

There is never a wrong to listen to Rage Against the Machine. Kids birthday party? Check. Funeral? Yeah buddie. In the kiddie pool with your Doula? Perfecto. Urologist exam? Doubley so

I'm in are you?

Democrats: Empty libraries, gymnasiums, lecture halls, anywhere. Book the space and dare these pathetic House Republicans to show their faces. Share this if you agree.

I regret to inform you..

Breaking: The Federalist Society quickly reboots as the Royalist Society.

The Republican Party is really just an egregious, conscienceless scam.

We should all take side profile before pictures of ourselves now. I'm excited to see what I look like 4 years from now after losing 250 lbs of fascism

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

In retrospect, Herz clearly had a better handle on how this was all going to go before the election than we realized. Kudos to them for getting rid of their swasticars before the coup. Next time, give a brother a heads up tho

As the oligarchy is conspicuously exposed, Americans will see as clearly as we did at the end of the first Gilded Age that we have no option but to take back power. Only then can we continue the essential work of America.

I can't imagine a job more devoid of purpose and meaningless than being a Republican congressman. Why show up to work? You serve no fucking purpose. That money could be spent on people who actually want to work
