The problem with "we have no choice but to do this thing Trump and the GOP want because otherwise the government stays shut down" is that there's no limiting principle.

Meta is now running pro-data-center ads in regions with intense development about.fb.com/news/2025/11...

This outcome makes a lot more sense when you remember that Schumer was backing Cuomo, the candidate preferred by the billionaires who help finance Trump's campaigns. You might think Tuesday would be a big win for the Democrat Minority Leader, but it was actually a loss as it represents the erosion

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

Anarchism: Doesn't Sound So Silly Now, Does It? An introduction

Monied liberals LOVE the red v. blue charade cause it lets them pretend to be smart & good while avoiding change that threatens their privilege. Believe me, I know a lot of these ppl. But the scam is REALLY obvious now. And liberal hundred millionaire types don’t like to look like suckers.

So, we would've won. Schumer betrayed us and we would've won.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

Abolish the Senate. It's antidemocratic, anti-Black, and classist. It exists solely because the racist founders thought the House of Representatives was TOO democratic and because the southern slavers demanded a house of Congress where they'd have outsized influence. Get rid of it.

We're extremely dishonest about the realities of aging in this country. The older I get, the more this becomes apparent to me.

This is really important. The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

I haven’t been this excited about anything since I signed up for a Songs of Yule and Imbolc workshop four days ago. But like I was beside-myself-excited about that too so… WHO IS WITH ME?? open.substack.com/pub/biblioll...

David to me just now: Thank you for being as lovely as you can be with the way that I’ve been being, which is NOT as lovely.

Libs going all out to idolize malevolent creatures.

As Bluesky's general functionality continues to improve, there are times you may find it difficult to search for the content you need. So as a public service announcement here's the video clip you are trying to find to post when discussing the death of Dick Cheney today apnews.com/article/dick...

Please enjoy this magnet I’ve displayed on my various fridges for 23 years now. It has moved with me at least ten times, and even my right-wing dad laughs whenever he sees it. (To my dad’s credit, his Irish sense of humor always wins out over his abhorrent politics.) Rest in piss, Dick.

Sora 2 is not being “misused” when people use it to produce racist, transphobic, misogynistic, & otherwise vile images—it exists to make it easier to put these images out into the world. Calling it a “misuse” is a grave misunderstanding of what these companies are up to, & lets OpenAI off the hook.

When I hear someone say that capitalism has “lifted millions out of poverty” I immediately know I can’t take anything they say seriously

I do hope Mamdani wins bc I ❤️ seeing evil fucks like Cuomo bodied. But Mamdani is anything but a radical-leftist savior. He is AOCIA/Bernie redux. His backpedaling on Palestine (among other things) is as predictable as it is sickening. The system will NEVER allow itself to be dismantled from within.

He ain’t lyin’

The hallmarks of authoritarianism are on full display in the US right now. Recognizing them—and sharing this knowledge with others—is step one for any successful effort to counter what’s happening.

Sorry if I look busted. David told me the outside temp, I gasped with delight, rolled out of bed, threw on my favorite sweater, made my coffee, and took this pic. I just washed this sweater by hand a couple weeks ago. It’s from the Aran sweater market in Galway, and it may be my prize possession.

Foul whisp’rings are abroad. Unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles; infected minds To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.

Bring back earnestness and sincerity as virtues...

SNAP assistance should be enough to cover 2000 calories a day of HEALTHY food PER PERSON. Yes I want the government to make sure everyone has wholesome, tasty, filling meals. The problem isn't that people need assistance with food, it's that the assistance is a freaking joke.

I will never get over what they did to our girl

The thing about anarchist organizing is it’s not flashy. It’s free meals, eye exams, pet supplies, water, firewood, firearms training, first aid training, zines, mending, gardening, direct action, black bloc… it’s not politicians or clever signs. No RSVP, no membership card, no website, just do it.

A newly released police report states that Joshua Jahn lived with his family and didn't have a job. He had no political ideology, but was deeply immersed in the world of computer games, like the UVU assassin. n.pr/3Jj982m
