Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

the majority of all forms of violence have been committed by cis white men, but yeah, let’s keep peddling an absolutely false and already debunked narrative so that cis white men can continue committing all forms of violence

The Roberts Court loves corporations. Corporations are their benefactor more so than Trump. Corporations were not happy with the tariffs. SCOTUS rules against Trump when it's Corporations v. Trump. End of. Don't let this fool you into thinking this court as any goddamn legitimacy. It does not.

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

Can feed algorithms shape what people think about politics? Our paper "The Political Effects of X's Feed Algorithm" is out today in Nature and answers "Yes." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There are days when everything feels heavy.😓 Yesterday was one of those days. No donations came, and the rent deadline is getting closer. £246 remains. It may seem like a small number to some, but to us, it means stability, sleep, and not having to pack our lives again.❤️

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

ICE doesn't ever "leave" any state. There will continue to be ICE and CBP enforcement actions as there were during previous presidents. Hillary Clinton was saying this in her remarks. She doesn't like the visible violence but she is fine with "regular" violence.

The fact that the response to Hasan saying “I’ll vote third party over Gavin Newsom” is to try to harass/shame him into voting for Gavin (implicitly treating Gavin’s candidacy/views as inevitable) instead of saying “maybe we should change to convince him” is everything wrong with electoral politics.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

One thing to bear in mind as critical context is that these are the biggest fucking cowards who ever lived. He "survived" being spoken to sternly by a woman.

🟢 BREAKING | An international coalition of activists, trade unionists, & humanitarian groups is preparing to sail next month w/ food, medicine, & essential supplies to Cuba, seeking to break the intensifying U.S. siege of the island.

[handcuffed] officer, the Dow is at the highest it’s ever been!!!

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*) The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

Ramadan is approaching…and my heart trembles with fear that it will come with no food or warmth for my two little girls. Our home is gone, and donations have almost stopped. Please don’t let us enter the month of mercy in this helplessness…be mercy for us. 🤲🏻 - Sama’a 🤍 chuffed.org/project/157569

Late to this, but this is wrong. Trump lies right and left about how the BLS is against him and - as you know - fired the commissioner. But the data - so far - have not been tampered with.

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance. bsky.app/profile/pron...

Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the other man named by Ava Cordero as her rapist and abuser alongside Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, only to be mocked and degraded and dismissed as crazy because she's trans.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do with my Harry Potter books, because just dumping them in a little free library felt wrong. So I mailed them to this artist who was turning them into portraits of murdered trans women www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/11/a...

lol donald trump invaded venezuela and captured maduro all so that they’d stop sending oil to cuba and start sending it to israel jesus christ man its just too ridiculous

Congressman Ro Khanna just read aloud the names of 6 powerful men that had previously been redacted from the Epstein Files. Here are the names. Please share everywhere: Salvatore Nuara Zurab Mikeladze Leonic Leonov Nicola Caputo Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem Why were these men protected?😡

Hey remember the 2009 Epstein email where he says “I loved the torture video.” Turns out the video was from Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. You’ll never guess who he’s been in business with (and influencing) since 2005. (Pssst jk, you totally will.)👇

This is all being done so the remaining white Cuban plantation owners and their descendants can return back to the island as aristocracy and oppress the majority afro Cuban population. This is neo colonialism.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Sports reporter with NBC News reporting that the couple in Bad Bunny’s halftime show got married for real

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

For more singing toilets tune into the Turning Point USA halftime show

On 5 February 1968: BBC began filming for the "Tolkien in Oxford" documentary, later broadcast in March. In this clip, he talks about his invented languages, writing Tengwar (with mistakes!), and others enjoying the languages. #Tolkien #lotr #BookSky

Yup. And "the left" is the majority, folks. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Just look at the polls when it comes to supporting the issues "the left" support. www.axios.com/2026/02/06/n...

Colorado at 150: In 1876, in Colorado’s final territorial Legislature, propsed language that would protect racial equality in CU admissions drew opposition. Equality prevailed, but CU is not believed to have admitted a Black student until 20 years later. By @chasewoodruff.bsky.social

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Woke 2 is firing on all cylinders and ahead of schedule, I didn't have "the president has to retract his nakedly racist social media posts" on the calendar until july

Props to NPR for leading the newscast w/ the president's racist post. But, c'mon...they're not false narratives. They're lies. Words matter (Once again, don't give me the 'but we don't know what he knows or is thinking.')

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
