"I don't want my tax dollars to..." baby I'm gonna stop you there. You make $40k a year. Your tax dollars ain't doing shit. Take all that energy and unionize your workplace and fight for a fair wage.

I convinced someone to stop using AI and they canceled their ChatGPT subscription. There is hope to be found yet.

As a wearer of menswear and gender neutral garb, I have directly benefited from Diane Keaton's contribution to fashion. Lesbians especially, we must pay our respects.

I cannot fucking comprehend Diane Keaton dying. She was supposed to live forever. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!

If I was a dictator I would immediately force all landlords to reduce the rent by 50% and revoke drivers licenses from everybody who owns a Tesla. But that's why I would never be in the situation of becoming a dictator to begin with.

I think that allowing ourselves to be chased off every social media platform is actually not productive. The argument that it will destroy the platform thus far that hasn't been shown to be true. BUT the right has clearly gained more digital territory and our community's have been dispersed.

Israel just bombed a home and now there are 40 people under the rubble. They’re demolishing Gaza as quickly as they can while delaying their “peace” negotiations

White boys aren’t the only ones consuming right wing red pill media, it’s a lot of black boys falling into the pipeline too and more parents should give a fuck about it

Michigan Avenue right now.

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

Just saw motorcycle cops escorting three giant tour buses headed east on Beverly. Anyone know if that's like a sports team or federal agents?

The way she cleared up any concerns about her health faster than the president of the United States.

My atheist ass is praying because losing her in this moment would be destroy the last bit of morale we have in this country

I see a lot of Gen Z asking how millennials survived 2008 and/or the first Trump administration. Listen there is a reason so many millennials are sober now. The answer is substances. A lot of substances. I cannot in good conscience recommend millennial coping strategies.

She had to be a hoe, because these premiums don't pay themselves.

The cause is Donald Trump. A judge who blocked his fascist bullshit doesn't have her home explode by coincidence.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

Today three things turn 30: me, Ayo Edebiri, and The OJ verdict. All equally culturally significant of course.

Having a milestone birthday and your first dictatorship in the same year feels rude but alas I am officially thirty, flirty, and surviving fascism

Apple can afford to eat tariff costs. They are cowards and are enabling a fascist dictator. I sincerely hope the ghost of Steve Jobs visits Tim Cook in his sleep and shows him the hellish future he has put into motion.

“They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military." The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

I do think the best way to handle nazis is to show them how outnumbered they are. They think they're so badass until all their peers are chasing them out of the building.

Something about hearing civilians on the Global Sumud Flotilla tell the IOF they don't recognize them as a legal authority and to stand the fuck down sends chills down my spine. These people are braver than any of the world powers.

Damn what a tremendous loss to science and the world.

The republicans control all three branches of government but sure let's blame the shutdown on the democrats. No one will see through that. Truly a rock solid narrative.

This group of people got sucked deep into a YouTube propaganda rabbit hole 10 years ago and are living in a different reality than we are. A function of the alt right pipeline is pushing libertarians so far into conspiracy they become oblivious and less of an obstacle to the oligarchy.

Hey so if I make a joke and you are in the replies "explaining" the politics I will block you. First of all, learn to laugh. Second of all, to write good jokes you have to understand the truth. You don't need to reply-splain to someone displaying humor. I promise, we know more about it than you.

Golly I sure wish somebody would take all these newsletters from journalists I like and compile them into one paper of news

Democrats need to stop letting bullying tactics work. They need to stop conceding. They need to let Republicans shut down the government and face the backlash from it. Democrats constantly protect Republicans from the consequences of their own actions by conceding our rights. Draw the damn line.

If you don't want gay people in the military, you're gonna have beards. You can't have it both ways Pete.

Ignorance and Colonization Enforcement is made up of all the "to play the devils's advocate" ass losers from high school. And you know what, they accomplished that goal.

I would rather see the government shut down than watch democrats throw trans people under the bus again. If we are not protecting our must vulnerable communities, what are we doing? If we are not protecting basic civil rights, what are we doing? Either we all have liberty or none of us do.

1. There's a lot of confusion about this out there. Let me make it easier: There are two ways to keep the government open: The full FY26 appropriations bill for the entire year, and a continuing resolution to keep it open for a few months at current levels. Both are part of negotiations right now.

Here’s an update on Barbara Marques from her husband Tucker May. If you’d like to help, contact your reps, especially if you live in California. There’s an easy script on this gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...

Finally Barbara’s story is getting national attention. New update from her gofundme: she is now in a Louisiana ICE processing center after three days of travel in shackles. She’s sleeping on the floor and has been denied care for her medical condition.

AND ANOTHER THING! With all of these conversations around censorship, I continue to be really upset about some people refuse to see the through line to trans and reproductive rights AND our countries rejection of comprehensive sex ed.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

I'm curious what it would look like if Supreme Court justices were selected like the pope. Every 5 years, all the judges in the US have to gather, deliberate, and identify their candidates who would then be confirmed by congress. The term limit is 15 years with 1/3 being up for replacement every 5.

Before Trump sent in the military, the only thing ravaging Portland was natural deodorant.

War-ravaged Portland

Always a great sign when your captors are writing numbers on your arms.

We need to replace almost every Democrat in Congress with a lesbian. That is how we fix this.

Black Speculative Fiction Month starts next week. Read/reserve/rec/preorder/buy accordingly

A Supreme Court that "rules" in direct opposition to the law has no valid authority. The document that created them is the same document that they have consistently voided. They cannot have their cake and overrule it too.

I think if you're in the same room as a war criminal and you choose to leave the room instead of tackling them to the ground, you are failing humanity.

And this is why you shouldn't fold to fascists. They are weak. The only power they hold is what you give them.

Hey so a deranged man signing edicts from his desk on high that in practicality will strip us of our most fundamental civil rights despite not having any legal authority to do so is textbook dictator shit.
