my hobby: portraiture, but fumbling the camera’s manual of arms so the subject ends up with a bemused look

You’ve heard all about how great it is, from the Speaker of the House to cable news. On 7/14 hear from the source! Join us to launch the DSA 2026-27 Workers Deserve More program with special guest @EmmaVigeland! ⭐️ RSVP: go.dsausa.org/wdm-emma

we will not rest until we get a batshit pentagon briefing-style slideshow

can't believe they covered the minimum-maximum program on fox news

it’s so funny that “Department of War” sounds like Maoist Standard English but actually it’s a Trumpism

This is the result of free-fire "China hawk" politics in both parties. You absolutely could have gotten away with this through the 2000s, too. Maybe you'd catch heat for it, and liberals would dial it back a bit, but every joke that wasn't about trans women was some wildly-racist stuff about Asians.

"TheR'eS A REAsoN SpoRts ArE SEGreGateD BY sEx" Yeah, because men couldn't bear to lose to a woman.

I really don't know what we do about living in a digital age where "the left" as it is understood and monetized online has basically zero connection-- ideological or otherwise-- to the actual movement in this country. It's a bunch of reactionaries who rode the Bernie train to niche fame.

whoa there's a new Elm update and a blog post, first in *checks notes* seven years Evan found his login

ChatGPT posters and flyers are polluting real life and driving me insane. Please respond to this with the worst ones you've seen irl. I'll post some in the thread www.404media.co/we-are-livin...

make war profiteer an insult again

More from some of the absolute worst people in American media (with a guest appearance from Krystal Ball in the replies)

my possibly worst take is hpmor does have some interesting conceits and I can't *completely* hate it as a result unfortunately I don't think they work without the "rationalism" and other goofy bullshit that make it kind of a bad story

here's a little pinhole box for anyone who feels like staring at the sun today

I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it. From Reuters, published on the Guardian website.

The sky above the port was the color of a television tuned to a dead channel

hamb

not now I’m watching clips from the new jackass they faceplanted a parachute into a folding canopy

🇺🇸 Happy 250th birthday America 🇺🇸

New, in Light & Air! How do we reconcile the forced patriotism of the 250th anniversary with the real facts of our history? This Fourth of July, American socialists must fight to build a new national narrative that can overturn our country's civil religion.

happy 4th of shit

some day I’ll figure out the whole self expression thing

Happy Fourth. On this day, I like to revisit Frederick Douglass’ “What to a Slave is the Fourth of July,” and in particular, this video NPR produced a few years back of portions of the speech being read by Douglass’ descendants. youtu.be/NBe5qbnkqoM?...

TIL that from 1961 to 2009 there was a bowling alley in Antarctica (at McMurdo station) and it used penguin-themed pins.

me when the transgender vs transsexual discussion comes up

Seriously, go fuck yourself, I just lost another batch human rights this week because of this godforsaken country, I don’t really want to see a bunch of people wearing flags and chanting USA right now.

I will never not think it’s funny there’s a federal tax called FUTA

Even the liberal justices toe the line on sex as an immutable essence, as though the unquantifiable "male advantage" will forever persist in the face of interventions up to and including the very prevention of a male puberty. This is why liberal defences of trans people fail. Y'all fucking suck.

I love that big ass sign.

it's literally just: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside" there is *no world* where that can be interpreted differently, unless you talk to four right wingers in robes

this is *bonkers insane* for the most obvious constitutional question in history

getting lab results drip fed into mychart by my provider’s in-house lab from a blood draw *this morning* is kinda neat

i really like being trans

Honestly fitting for the continuation of the apparatus that murdered Lumumba to deny the celebration of his memory. Happy Birthday America www.aljazeera.com/sports/2026/...

oops guess I did not actually have two pride events in me in these two days

The new centrist Democrat group boosting Polymarket is really just the icing on the cake here.

Half of Lime trips on unprotected portions of Rainier and MLK are Access reduced price riders. Look at that huge volume of rides along Rainier north of Columbia City. 👀 Great research by @nondriver.bsky.social on who rides bikes and scooters on the Southend.

Union Station and the California Zephyr in Denver, CO on Kodak Ektar. #hasselbladxpan #filmphotography #believeinfilm

this just in seattle news, giant seagull wreaking havoc in pioneer square. stomping on bikes, taking huge dumps, enormous.

ok this one got me

if you are at trans pride in seattle find me I’ll be at the DSA table part of the time or dm me or something idk

stay young, the vampire way! 🦇

Congress needs to impeach O'Connor.

The study was her big gesture to indicate that she wasn't an anti-trans crank, so now that the study *she recommended* is under attack by the people she sold out to, she's realising just how deep in the sauce they are and admitting what we already knew. Actually Wakefield 2.0
