Happy Friday (with crispy sheep)

His demeanor when he says this. So many women (and not a few men) recognize this stance, this aggression. It stops me cold.

Scheer and his cronies can fuck all the way off

The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state. Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process. Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.

That's the question of our times. How low can he take you? How degraded are you willing to be to gain the dubious benefits of Trumpism? How much do you want to be able to indulge your cruellest, crassest whims? Because that's what he offers: total moral abdication. But you have to go first.

“Metamucilini”

Applicable to Canada as well.

Popping up everywhere. #FungiFriends

But justice is not a physical law of the universe. Justice is created and changed by human beings. The moral arc of the universe is bent towards justice BY OUR ACTIONS. To believe it as immutable is as damning and twisted a belief in American exceptionalism as that of Trump and the right.

If I only lived a little closer. Damn this large country. mcmichael.com

Obvious jailbreak or some type of invasion. StOp ThE waR!

This is the very best thread of the UN fiasco today.

It is representative of a *profound* failure of a country that this group of people are up there talking about medicine and science at all

omg. the stupidest timeline and the stupidest people. ffs.

agreed. apologies to any and all with autistic experience/lives for ongoing disparagement from all directions these days. am so sorry for anyone taking on any selfblame based on the crap coming out of this administration

We are also disappointed that he came to Canada. There is an easy solution here.

Albertan can't cede what it never owned

This is why so many of us are sick of the creep from the US. It's also a threat to those outside of the US. www.cbc.ca/news/world/d...

A thing that fucks people up is the refusal to take babysteps in doing something they suck at. Instead of starting where they can, and gradually improving, they just get frustrated that they're not already good at it and never even start.

Bare minimum for holding a conversation: empathy and a sense of humour. Unless you are a dog, then no requirements at all.

When the picture says everything

An "economist" so dumb I had to explain to him how the import price index works last month will now lead the BLS, kill me

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

My guess is that I will not encounter anyone that blames this on the US much less advocates for having politicians send belligerent letters to the govt of WA state. www.nsnews.com/local-news/s...

America has the most corrupt political system in the Western world.

omg…. I am not insane (at least not about this). front visibility out of my cx-5 has bothered me since I bought it. one of the reasons I’d never buy another. I literally move my head back and forth to see around the a-pillar when I turn. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Bill Moyers Saw What Was Coming talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/bill-mo...

Lloyd Axworthy is right—when did appeasing Trump become Canada’s foreign policy? This isn’t strategy. It’s spineless. We should be standing up to bullies, not applauding them. I’m furious. We should all be.

Any far right US Supreme Court decision which alters or reverses any part of OUR Constitution is invalid. They do not have the authority to make amendments.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

There's a chemical trick fireflies perform that allows them to flash without burning. My dad studied that trick all his life. Now he's 92, and darkness is closing in. For Father's Day, I did my best to illuminate his work, his life, and the fleeting wonder of it all. thewalrus.ca/a-son-a-scie...

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

As an elected Dem NH state rep and following the MN assasinations, I was told to rethink attending today's protest and to not wear my legislative badge. I'm here loudly wearing my badge, joining in and linking arms with others. If not us, who? #NoKings #KingsProtest #NHPolitics

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

After writing my history of concentration camps, I came to believe that short of committing murder yourself, one of the worst things you can do is to abet or exploit the suffering of another human being to increase your own power in the world.

Will not continue to spam you with notifications here @xanadian.bsky.social as it would be likely at least hourly. but... when I saw this, quietly under my breath I said the magic phrase: "Jesus says 'fuck you'"

We’re gonna give DoD $1 trillion but we’re gonna cut 8% but we’re gonna slash the budget by $1 trillion but we’re gonna raise tariff revenues but we’re gonna trigger inflation but we’re gonna cut rates but we’re gonna get trade deals but we’re renditioning citizens but we’re for open border…

A bunch of folks showed up to the Bothell City Council tonight to speak against a potential resolution affirming Bothell as a welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people. Here was Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson's response.

Trauma recovery is the daily-- hourly!-- discipline of sifting our authenticity from our conditioning. There is a beautiful, neglected "you" in there beneath the layers of conditioned beliefs & responses.

Breaking now: Ministry of Economics reporting the tariffs have not caused significant changes to our trading volumes

This account!! Only thing making me laugh out loud today.

Americans disregarding all moral and political concerns to put him back in office exclusively because of their overriding lust for cheap treats and then this happens is about as clear a case of divine justice as I can think of
