I am just so insanely lucky to have been involved with this. An absolute life highlight. www.papermag.com/trixie-matte...

People should not have to be perfect victims to not be murdered by the state or by a racist game show host and his lawless den of jackals and elite pedophile cover up conspiracists, but still HOLY SHIT MAN

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Iconically Ill presents We Talk Cerebral Palsy and Drag Queens with Ron Hill @artofwot.bsky.social

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

trans, and I cannot emphasize this next point enough, fuckin rights

There are vanishingly few places for adults to sell works of art to adults online thanks to the christofascist policies of payment processors deciding what is allowed. Artists are watching their entire income and livelihoods disappear overnight. Please help us and sign.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

People like to say "this is Zone of Interest", but this is Zone of Interest

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

See: #12. Watch Prince of Darkness.

The Trevor Project is a godsend, and this is evil. There is no other word for it. It's evil.

A gang that is state sanctioned and works in anonymity is a secret police. ICE is the Gestapo.

The things that have happened this week across the country have, at other times and in other places, each been singular catalysts for regime change. Occupying cities. Firing on peaceful protesters. Suspending fundamental liberties. Arresting elected officials. Each of these has toppled governments.

The administration has been hitting the “invasion” rhetoric and portraying the protests as being driven by immigrants because, as in the Alien Enemies Act cases, they want to use wartime and battlefield measures. Don’t let the rhetoric go by uncontradicted.

💯 this. We live here. The local news is covering the Pride Festival, because the protests are not a big enough deal to cover in anything more than “in other news-“ The whole thing is attempted Reichstag Fire bullshit to justify throwing the military at California.

It would be fun if Trump created some kind of socialist utopia just to make Elon mad. “I hereby tax billionaires at 99.999999%”

Imagine having one life and choosing to live it this way.

The news is making me feel helpless, so today I'm making a donation to Point of Pride, an organization that provides financial aid and direct support to trans folks in need of health and wellness care. 🤍 (98% rating on CharityNavigator) https://www.pointofpride.org/donate

this is like worse case scenario for me and many other trans people on medicaid. i will likely not be able to access life saving care if this goes through. can't state it any more - they're trying to eliminate us from existing. please call your reps now

get me to god's country

I despise the “why isn’t this getting more attention” conceit but, for the love of god, this needs to be on top of every paper and news report, even if the smarty-pants reporter thinks it’s hyperbole.

THEY ARE ARRESTING ELECTED OFFICIALS FOR PEACEFULLY OPPOSING THE REGIME’S ILLEGAL ACTIONS. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO OVERWHELM YOU. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

obviously there's something kind of absurd about this, as there is with so much of trump's bluster and bullshit. but it's also scary and infuriating in its own way. foreign films enrich my life. i love them. imagine being threatened by drive my car or about dry grasses or tori and lokita. fuck off!

Giantbomb was the first gaming community I was a part of. Through sheer dumb luck it was also one of the most inclusive and progressive spaces in games media. It informed so much of my worldview and politics, just by being kind and welcoming to everyone. Its impact was so much more than games.

Games Media:

Yesterday, the President of the United States played this video to cheers while claiming Democrats are "racing to the defense of some of the most violent savages on the face of the Earth." www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... Literally a fascist rally. No other way to describe it.

Every single time I hear RFKs voice I think it’s a bit

What’s happening to trans folks in Britain today is a heinous and disgusting. Solidarity to everyone fighting back against these hateful and disgusting acts by governments around the world.

This is all so impossibly stupid that I can't shake the feeling I'm losing my mind

I had a nightmare last night that I put down a bowl of soup and my cats ate it all. They were fine - didn’t get sick or anything. But I was out a bowl of soup. :(

This should have been signed by every Democrat and every elected official who opposes the kidnapping and illegal imprisonment of political dissidents

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Need a word that combines mortification and existential dread.

Alright this Washington Post news is the tipping point for me. Finally going to wean myself off of Amazon.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

John has given back to the television comedy world more than most. Help him out? He mixed Portlandia, Atlanta, Baskets, Three Busy Debras, Comedy Bang Bang, Kroll Show, Beef House, Documentary Now!, Shrill, Corporate, New Girl, Man Seeking Woman, and well over 100 more that I don't have space for!

Imagine how amazing AOC's Instagram close friend stories must be right now.

this is the development that most fills me with dread www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

The problem is, Dems treat norms like laws, which they observe, and Republicans treat laws like norms, which they break.
