A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly 🧵

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Activists in Seattle just sent us this update from the Tesla showroom in South Lake Union. This is the heart of Seattle's tech core, blocks from Amazon HQ and Google's Seattle campus. We can win. We are winning. Keep pushing. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions. If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

Oh god I accidentally opened twitter and thought I was having a psychotic break

A whole thing of pasta salad in the heaviest bowl you've ever seen on a weak fold out table. The tinfoil half on and a wooden spoon poking out. Penne, lemon, olive oil, red wine vinegar, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, cucumber,kalamata olives, flies buzzing around, feta wilting in the sun

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

We've gotta bloody the likes of Gillibrand, Gillen, Suozzi, Goldman nice and early over their Islamophobic Zohran bullshit and it's gotta leave a mark. The fash is going to be beyond vile during this race, and squishes on the blue side of the aisle have to learn what happens to traitors

And I resent the way companies are trying to force it. The other day Slack emailed saying they were adding AI to their product that already functions fine. I immediately cancelled that account. I don’t want it. It is not a benefit or feature. It is a yoke. I am happy on this hill even if I am alone

He was spitting and they played him off like it was an Oscars speech

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

In December, Nancy Pelosi intervened to keep AOC from getting the top spot on the oversight committee, and giving it to 74 year old Gerry Connolly, despite him having cancer. Now, he's dead. Have the past 5 months been an important time for Congressional oversight?

the thing about the stupid "actually there's not a shortage of housing, there's just tons of secret housing that's vacant" argument is that, even if those people are right (they're not), building more housing still fixes the problem

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

I think we should start doing things to rich people

This is high art

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.

This absolute unit could have taken up shot put or discus or wrestling or god knows what else, but he decided to be an elite level girl hurler and I salute him.

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

“We didn’t stay inside, hiding behind usernames…” bro I got aol in 1993 and didn’t put my real name on the internet until Facebook (2004). And you better believe I was trolling and shitposting most of those 11 years

Just as Putin, Orban and Trump all seem to recognize that tyrants have shared interests, so too we need to recognize that those who would be rid of tyrants too have shared interests that cross national borders.

Share the media. The news is compromised. We're starting to boil over.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Horkheimer and Adorno, THE DIALECTIC OF ENLIGHTENMENT (note/sketch #1)

The first concentration camps did not house Jews, they were used for political dissidents. One leads to the other

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Federal workers are unionizing and coming together to protect one another. They are sharing resources and it's a beautiful thing to see. www.theverge.com/news/617014/...

THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE POLLED DO NOT LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON CURRENTLY. Left, right, center, the majority of people hate this. Very good sign. fortune.com/2025/02/21/d...

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

How good we had it

i guess i never posted about it here before but president's day seems like as good a holiday as any to bring it back up: we don't have nearly enough federal holidays. that's why i think we should create around 30 more, each anchored to the friday or monday around a significant union army victory

@arr.bsky.social I hate to at folks but last night I remembered your “Deepest Tuck” article from SA back in 2010 and how furious it made a friend of mine (to whom it did not apply AT ALL) when I shared it to the Facebook gang. Thanks for 15 years of laughs
