They don’t even hide their longing for a white-only America. The era of dogwhistles is over.

If this insanity is not the lead story in every newspaper tomorrow morning I’m going to scream.

It is nearly 10 months since Trump started illegally imposing tariffs on “Liberation Day”. To this day he’s using them for all sorts of nefarious purposes, like acquiring Greenland, & to this day “the world’s greatest democracy” has been unable to put an end to his illegality.

IYKYK. Otherwise start at Chapter 1, Book 1. You won’t regret it. I’d say “destined to be a classic” except it already is.

I specialize in butt shots.

Last sentence has 14 words. 🤔

The word “Somali-American” does not appear even once in this AP article. This is deliberate.

Pink and blue sky tonight. Trans people’s delight.

In case you’re wondering about the “democratic” character of US protests in support of Iranian protesters, this was posted by an FB friend of mine about today’s SF protest.

Every day, in every way, Donald Trump puts the “dictate” in “dictator”. Saving us the trouble of arguing whether he’s a figurative dictator, he’s a literal one.

The central premise of Trumpism is that the suffering of other people--immigrants, trans people, "woke" liberals--would be your gain. There needs to be a direct and widespread effort to connect those issues to Trump's failure to deliver on that premise or else it'll remain as potent

The US said its forces only fired in self-defense when they kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. You won’t be surprised to learn they lied.

You don’t “mistakenly” ignore a court order! 😡

But did she keep the cash?

Board of Peace? More like he’s Bored of Peace, amirite?

TV news guy just said Trump is considering invoking the “Resurrection Act”. 😁

“mulish”? What the f kind of headline is that?

Zero mention in this AP article about Trump touting tariffs for boosting domestic manufacturing that manufacturing jobs 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 last year.

Literally zero sense of self-awareness. 🤦🏼‍♀️

ICE shot out a young trans man's eyes for the crime of caring about his neighbors.

“There is a government in power in Venezuela. There is an Interim President, and there is a President held hostage in the United States” — Delcy Rodríguez www.radiohc.cu/en/delcy-rod...

“Trump says” should never be the subject of a news article without independent confirmation. There is vast precedent to say that nothing he says should be believed. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

NYT video explainer about Becky Pepper-Jackson. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 is the violation of international law we’re concerned about? Not the actual strikes that have killed a hundred people without a trial (or evidence or even knowing who they were)? 🤦🏼‍♀️

While Becky Pepper-Jackson sounds like any teen navigating school assignments, friends and a demanding practice schedule, the transgender girl has also been carrying the weight of a national cultural and political battle. https://cnn.it/4jD5M8c

Second straight day of opinion articles in the WaPo (yesterday’s was an editorial) urging SCOTUS to support banning trans girls from sports. Opinions 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 trans girls? Not welcome at the WaPo. 😡 Gift link: wapo.st/4pDbl7Y

I love that the clue for “Proletariat” is “The Producers” (clues are all names of Broadway plays).

I have yet to hear one media report or one politician ask the obvious question — what right does Trump have to bomb Iran, allegedly on the grounds it is killing protesters? They’re literally conceding that international law (not to mention US law) no longer exists.

Just turned TV & caught the end of a Charlie Chaplin film “Monsieur Verdoux”, a film that was boycotted for its critique of war & capitalism. Two short clips: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsieu...

Fuck the WaPo. “The Supreme Court has the chance this week to save women’s sports, allowing states to restore a level playing field for girls by excluding biological men and thereby correcting one of the worst excesses of America’s cultural revolution.” wapo.st/49FbAts

Trump working hard every day to earn that FIFA Peace Prize.

“Thiel Gives $3 Million to Group Seeking to Block California Wealth Tax”…or, as it’s called in the US, “democracy”. 🙄

In case anyone still believes that old “judges are just calling balls and strikes” bullshit.

I love that the clue for “Proletariat” is “The Producers” (clues are all names of Broadway plays).

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is going to hear West Virginia's effort to ban the state's only transgender athlete, 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson. Win or lose, I need your help making sure Becky knows she's a hero for standing up for what's right

ppl like to talk abt the Olympics and pro sports but in reality laws banning trans girls from playing women’s sports mostly impact children. Look at this girl. She’s a fucking baby and her state spent days, weeks, months crafting legislation specifically to bully her

Good night, all.

Coverage of anti-government demonstrations in Iran on mainstream news has exceeded coverage of pro-government demonstrations in Venezuela by at least a factor of 100. What they choose to cover shapes people’s opinions every bit as much as how they cover things.
