Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

I have noted, and I appreciate, the way RFK Jr. is frequently photographed: sweaty, uncentered, in lighting like that used in an illustrated medical textbook under “egregious wart”

Today in “Hilarious Unless It‘s Your Reality”— The fake righteous indignation of vinyl inflatable Bondi’s ‘How dare you insinuate that the President may have participated in unlawful activities!’

it's really striking how we have this entire enormous political and legal infrastructure built around the sanctity of the Constitution and then Trump comes along and is like "yeah right, I'm not doing any of that" and those Very Serious People are like "yep alright! okay!"

Ice fishing, Portland style. Probably Voodoo Donuts. @11tulips.bsky.social

History won’t praise Democrats for playing by the rules if it’s the reason we lose our country.

Let’s stipulate that Trump will continue to do things that shock us. But, seriously, no one should be shocked about this. He’s been itching to did it for years. He’s laying the ground every day. We’ve been warned. And this is exactly what he’s going to do. charliesykes.substack.com/p/yes-of-cou...

“Trees claim their territory, rude roots pushing aside long-settled bones. Ecclesiastical law weakens, wild sprits begin to hold sway.”

We are in that part of autumn where the wish to hurry home before dark becomes more pronounced and yet we can't fully articulate just why this is so. The redundant lamplighter phantoms come earlier and earlier. As does our unease in certain places. This season pokes with fingers of fear. – #DAKilroy

Five stars. It’s spot on.

This does not happen in a free society. Ergo, we are not in one. We must resist this. We must. It only gets worse if we do not.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

I can’t bear this creepy decaying Adult of the Corn

Uhm…92% of Black women clearly did. You may not get why Black women vote the way they do, but you will be well served to follow our lead.

To the people who say they've been to hell and back: WHY DID YOU COME BACK???

Don’t give an inch

Slim hope, too, that the Great Unwashed will one day get good and tired of his shite. Who else will channel their racism & ragey entitlement?

“I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim”

This, I believe, underlies the entitlement-rage we see in the conservative Right…. the maga voter… the anti-immigrant folks.

Easy to bypass such a pale image. Better to stop for a moment, consider how many shades of white there are—the beiges, sands, ivories… (white) whites on (blue) whites on (tan) whites. Absolutely mad skills.

That’s a cat who’s seen some things

I’d love to see this guy’s resume and job description.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Exemplary. 🏆🏆🏆

That’s how things happen in the afterlife—you’re strolling along and suddenly your lower half is raptured. This is a reminder not to wear your good pants to your grave.

What leadership looks like. Bravo!

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

I agree. We need to start appropriately identifying these as extrajudicial killings and murders by agents for the state.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

I took this photo at the Colosseum right after realizing I hadn't posted on Bsky in 4 months. Not because I disappeared, and definitely not because I ran out of things to say... (Tap the image & read the alt text to find out...)

But yeah, sure, send troops to Portland. You fuckers...

The world is ugly. But we can decide who we want to be in the madness. Choose kindness.

Though of many of you here. With love.
