If you read it at the perfect age at the perfect time, you had zero frame of reference for anything going on. You’d have to read it like three times to figure out all the nuances of the world. so good

🔥MLK DAY FLASHBACK: “Right, governor?” Rev barber called out @GovBillLee & those who claim to love MLK but fight against his agenda and hurt poor people— TO HIS FACE (Reposting this #MLKDay classic is our favorite tradition!)

Trump's Bored of Peace.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Some BIG news for the UBI community: "Following a review of international travel conditions and visa accessibility for participants, a decision has reluctantly been reached to relocate the 2026 BIEN Congress from University of Pennsylvania, USA, to Toronto Metropolitan University Toronto, Canada."

Trump/Krasnov is straining relations with European allies, which creates division within the alliance and benefits Russia's long-term goal of diminishing American hegemony in Europe. Putin and Xi are laughing their asses off at us.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

How long until a “good guy with a gun” defends themselves against ICE? How will the GOP spin it? This is getting more and more dangerous everyday.

Rep. Carlos Gimenez: "The United States has demonstrated to the people around the world that we can touch you anywhere at any time or our choosing"

you’re a fucking grown ass man putting a 16 year old kid in handcuffs and then you steal his phone and sell it to a vending machine? what in the entire fuck is wrong you?

the story itself is horrific and this kid never should have been put through this, but, also, this is the most pathetic fucking shit i have ever read. just complete bottom feeder fucking idiot losers.

Boar's Head is done. Finished. They have obviously cut out all their food safety standards and even if some of the food they're making isn't contaminated, none of it is safe.

Expanding my personal style. Taking risks with some fits this spring.

Excited bc I think I found a new teacher to help me with form. Pain in my fret hand has begun limiting my playing time and I don’t like that. Anyway, a lil Amy this am 💕

We sadly knew this would happen but now it regretfully has reign of terror of ICE thugs must be stopped! Decent Americans must rise up + say NOT in my name!

God damn them all 🤬

“God damn them all” should become the war cry for a new revolution against this bullshit tyranny led by murderous thugs, liars and pedophiles God damn them all …

“God damn them all.”

No offense but

Hey NRA folks! Hey militia folks! Hey patriots! Where the £#¢< are you?!? We have an actual tyrannical government killing citizens exercising their rights. Yoo hoo! Where are you?!? Oh wait… You’re the ones doing the shooting, aren’t you. And if so, whose rights are you “defending?”

Gonna be an interesting weekend. Stay safe. Be peaceful. Be loud. Show up

I keep thinking about this movie. Can't imagine why.

Terry is going on Colbert tonight - this is a photo I took of them when she went on some years back. It always makes me laugh. (He was on a chair.)

The forces who seek to divide us are not slowing down—so we must double our efforts to ramp up. www.qasimrashid.com/p/dialogue-i...

it is proof that most people are not driven by fear or bigotry, but by a desire to understand and to do better. That is the coalition that gives me hope. And it is a coalition we must massively build in 2026.

one reason you will never see me respond to such dehumanizing language in kind. And likewise, I must add this fact. For every hateful message I receive, there are many more rooted in curiosity, gratitude, and solidarity.

it does not strengthen anyone’s argument—it exposes the absence of one. We cannot respond to hate with more hate and expect justice to follow. That path has never led anywhere but deeper division and violence. Indeed, that is

Disagreement is not the enemy of democracy; it is its lifeblood. But to have value, disagreement must be grounded in evidence, integrity, and a shared commitment to our humanity. When debate collapses into slurs, threats, and dehumanization,

Making my annual playlist from student's suggestions (a whole other fun-sad story) to show Ancient Greek gov by playing Who Decides The Music. While on yotube, this gem came back up. I can never resist replaying it when suggested. Thanks @worriers.bsky.social & everyone else involved. #evh #prince

Realized this morning about 5% of the population is a danger to themselves and others without medication, but we decided to let corporations practice medicine without doctors. I can't take the people in charge seriously at all any more. It's like living in a cartoon.

13 days before 2024 election…… So, when people say “That’s not what I voted for?” I call bullshit. #SheShed youtu.be/8Ev7UkQLicM?...

A democratic republic can survive policy mistakes and bad presidents; G-d knows we’ve had our share of both. What it can’t survive, though, is a government that looks straight
