One day you're the best thing since sliced bread. The next, you're toast.

Absolute mood

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

Zohran Mamdani: Trump Whisperer

Zohran cucked Trump in less than an hour, adjust what you think political strength looks like if you don’t think it looks like him

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

America right now is an airplane that the crew is actively trying to dismantle mid-flight while at least half the passengers are sitting bare-knuckled just hoping we somehow eke out a survivable landing. (The other half are, inexplicably, rooting for the dismantling.)

Proof that the U.S. government social media accounts are in fact white nationalist propaganda accounts, funded by our tax dollars. You’ve got to see this…

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby

Ugh I just love a very taut grape

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

North Carolina, you in danger girl! And the rest of democracy is in danger right along with you. This is a powerful speech.

This is very good

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY SORRY FOR OUR DELAY WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS A REAL DAY.

Perfect.

please consider a recurring donation to Ruaa, it would give her some stability and let her focus on caring for herself and her family instead of working so hard trying to raise funds every day

UPDATE: Israel is striking all over Gaza, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire. Hamas says they didn’t, and it was settlers running over an explosive device. Bottom line: people are still dying, including children.

We need more threads like this. What's working. How to help. The why. I don't need more dunks on authoritarian hypocrisy. Not as useful. Peaceful protest is THE important first step, the initial commitment of millions. Talk about what's working and why. Thank you, @drlisacorrigan.bsky.social

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Mehdi Hassan, (who I was praising this morning by coincidence) UNLEASHED!🤣 #NoKings

This made me laugh

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

This sounds familiar.

::side eyeing the "only two positions on AI thing:: 1. It's not "AI". There's nothing intelligent going on so insisting on that misnomer is, at best, silly. But mostly it's deliberately trying to make it sound like something it isn't. 2. Why would I use a theft machine that boils the earth.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained. Read more about Sunday's protest in Portland here:

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

Every bit of this mess that we’re currently enduring is because rich people need more money & they dgaf if you’re hungry or homeless or dead in order for them to get more money
