THIS.

Had people not lost their goddamn motherfucking minds and souls (or if more people had them at all), Israel wouldn't have attacked Iran because there is no fucking way Pres. Harris would have backed that plan.

For this year’s International Women’s Day, let me put it as simply as possible: Men should be glad we want equality — not revenge.

1/The failure to investigate Renee Good’s death at all is ongoing scandal. The independent autopsy suggests that Renee Good was still alive after the first shot; it was the third shot that killed her, www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news....

I'm supposed to believe some of your all care about GAZA, AIPAC, blah, blah, blah when you haven't figured out in 400 years how to treat Black people equitably and fairly in THIS country? What happened in Dallas County last night was disgusting, but it's what you have been doing for 400 years.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

This is peak irony.

I decided that my husband and I are moving to Scotland and opening a pub called The Salty Cunt.

Happy Rosh Hashanah to Asians only

"beautiful clean coal" is such a weird, dysfunctional fetishism. Coal has always been understood to be a dirty, highly polluting power source. This wasn't controversial, just whether any alternative exists! "Don't live near the coal power plant" has been accepted wisdom for generations.

Every union worker on the Gateway project who voted for Trump and is now unemployed got exactly what he voted for.

Then Miriam the prophetess took a timbrel in hand, and all the women went out after her in dance with timbrels: "Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; And his officers are drowned. In Your triumph You break Your opponents; You send forth Your fury, it consumes them like straw."

I'm not crying my eyeballs out or anything.

This is what joy looks like and I needed it

Three pieces of shit on sniw.

Apologizing is a good first step. Then they have to actively work to correct their mistake. If there is no activism with the apology, it's worthless.

NPS removes Native American signage at Little Bighorn National Monument www.militarytimes.com/veterans/mil...

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

I have devolved into a person who will find a folded paper in her bag and use it to brush crusty snow off a dead rat's frozen corpse so people on her tour tomorrow can see it better.

Are we still occupying Venezuela? I can't even keep track with everything else.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

As a person with underlying health conditions, I wear an N95 or KF94 mask in crowded outdoor spaces like protests so that I don't help Trump, RFK Jr, and the other pieces of shit running the federal government kill people, incl myself. A respirator mask is confident, unashamed, and SAFE protesting.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

The days. The days are long. Long.

What is there to say today, 81 years after the liberation of Auschwitz? Has humanity learned from the Holocaust? From the Holodomor? From the Killing Fields? From the Medz Yeghern? From Xinjiang? From Sudan? From the Inquisition? From the Rohingya? From the Atlantic Slave Trade?

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day: May it be a contemplative day for all. May it prompt us to confront where evil still festers in our society. May it reaffirm our commitment to imagining and striving for a better world. May we see peace and dignity for all people in this lifetime.

Coverage after coverage leaves Keith Porter, Jr out of the discussion. More proof that only white lives matter in the systems of this country.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

I finished re-reading The Postcard by Anne Berest. Even knowing what happens, I cried my eyrs out, especially the end. It is definitely the best book I've read in the last decade (during which I read about 550 books), if not ever.

"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. ... "Next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Gicestapo are claiming he had a gun. I would love for someone to tell me where in the video they see a gun. There is no way given the manhandling of him he could reach for anything he carries, which means it would be from one of them. No evidence of it. None.

@nelledee.blue called them the gICEstapo. And they are because they are murderous cowards. Calling them Gestapo gives them too much credit, which is a lot to say. When the Gestapo killed people, they didn't scatter like roaches.

We had a long chat about the symptoms of Long COVID. I was shocked she had never heard of Long COVID. She asked me if I was part of a small percentage of people. Told her no. There are millions of people worldwide suffering from Long COVID right now.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

The autobiography concludes its section on this conversation interestingly: "I [Harry Belafonte] felt as if our moorings were unhinging. "Damn, Martin! If that's what you think, what would you have us do?" I asked. He gave me a look. "I guess we're just going to have to become firemen.""

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."  Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who reminded us that progress isn’t inevitable — it’s a choice. A choice to stand up for justice, protect dignity, and make our country more just and equitable for all.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

jd vance would sell his *own* children for a percocet if he thought it would get him closer to the presidency

National Guard troops are not in NYC subways because they make the subways safer. National Guard troops are in NYC subways because they make white people feel safer. There is no thought or care put into how this unnecessary and expensive action makes Black people in NYC feel.

This is what genocide looks & sounds like. 💔 Evidence of mass killings, hospital raids, and systematic execution is mounting. The regime is waging a total war on the Iranian people behind a digital wall of silence. 🕯️👊🦁🇮🇷 #IranGenocide #StopTheMassacre #IranRevolution #FreeIran #HumanRights

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

a shockingly high death toll of civilians at the hands of the Iranian government over the last few of days and no real indication to me of what might calm the violence. even if we take the low end conservative number it’s still incredibly high for the length of time the protests have been happening

My husband just told me that, despite having good health insurance, my out-of-pocket health care costs in 2025 was $30,000. Did I always get excellent care? No. Did I often have long waits for appointments? Yes. How is this better than a national system, because I sure as fuck don't think it is.
