“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

𝙒𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝… Things are feeling rather dire, aren't they? You don't need me to tell you that. You feel it in your body when you wake up and reach for your phone. Something has shifted. The fog is real. The weight is real.

The US is no longer a liberal democracy, according to the top global watchdog on freedom and democracy. We're falling fast, and are now classed the same as Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru www.v-dem.net/documents/75...

This is terrifying for the people of Cuba

An enterprising journalist could do an extensive piece into Aporia's as a legitimating factor in normalising white supremacist and neo-fascist groups for consumption by the UK political establishment. Quality work's been done on Aporia already www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

The SAVE Act: a passport costs $165. A certified birth certificate costs up to $45. A naturalization certificate replacement costs $555. If the GOP weren't afraid of your vote, they wouldn't try to stop you from voting. Call your Senator: 202-224-3121. #SaveActIsPayToVote

Trump and his loyal Republicans are terrified of facing consequences at the ballot box for the way their policies have hurt women. So they’re pushing the SAVE America Act to choke our registration, demand papers many don’t have, and purge us from the rolls. Call 202-224-3121. #SaveActIsPayToVote

It's been happening for decades, all served by pastors like Chuck who have unwittingly served corporate interests since the early days of Billy Graham, all while further marginalizing the most vulnerable among us.

This meme airs a made-up problem that Republicans have sold us, their 'solution' includes massive voter disenfranchisement, because they project and invent 'stolen' elections.

1/2 🚨 The Trump admin just gave VA lawyers power to initiate FORCED GUARDIANSHIP over homeless veterans — stripping them of legal autonomy and forcing them into institutions. Nearly 33,000 veterans are unhoused in America. This is despicable. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Rachel Maddow: “The U.S. economy under Trump lost 92,000 jobs last month — over the past year, while Trump's been in office, the country has lost nearly 100,000 manufacturing jobs— Gas prices have now spiked as high as they've ever been while he’s been president — with the worst still to come”

This is the time that we opened for The Cramps, Danceteria, on Halloween as “it crawled from the south” and we only played songs about death. I wore a pink gingham bunny suit complete with bunny ears mitts and footies. The sweatshirt came off after the first song. Photo by Laura Levine. 1982? ‘83?

Has everyone heard the new @michaelstipe.bsky.social song yet? If so, what do you think? Personally, I’m loving it.

folks, the Wall Street Journal is not the NYT, it is a paper for people who want a headline like "New Dictator Installed, Stock Market Up." they do not mess around if they're getting worried, there's reason to be worried

Trump was raised in a family that disparaged military service. He thinks people “dumb” enough to serve have what’s coming to them. Remember what he told the widow of the soldier who was killed in Niger: “he knew what he signed up for” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017....

Thank you @anthropic.com for standing up to the Pentegon's insane demands! www.opb.org/article/2026...

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

Outrageous.

This is so important!

It’s a remarkable convergence: Lunar New Year, the first day of Ramadan, and Ash Wednesday are visiting us together — a triple alignment that won't recur for decades.

Earlier this year, I went to Brazil to try and answer a question: why did their Congress and Supreme Court stand up to an authoritarian while ours won't? The answer I found helped me understand where the US had gone wrong - and what a post-Trump reform agenda needs to do www.vox.com/politics/479...

WOW - Someone finally not only gets it but is willing to say the truth out loud. What once was thought fiction is now reality.

This is what it sounds like to me whenever someone decries “polarization” as the problem.

I recently had the joy of sitting down with my old friend Jason Clark on his podcast, Rethinking God with Tacos. It was a conversation that felt like coming home…to a place I haven’t lived in ages, but it’s nicer than I remember.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

That’s not how this works. Call your senators to oppose the SAVE act now! 5calls.org/issue/save-a...

Solar for All was passed and funded by Congress to cut utility bills, create jobs, and accelerate clean energy.

For over fifty years, Dr. John Dominic Crossan has been one of the world's foremost scholars of the historical Jesus—and this Lent, he's teaching a five-week online class that returns to the questions that have driven his entire vocation.

This is an atrocity, and needs to stop.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

Well put. This is a solution in search of a nonexistent problem, all to make it far harder for millions to vote. That's vote suppression, folks.

No one on this side of the aisle is surprised. He’s a conman.

The present world situation smells to heaven! And now, in the presence of colossal problems, which must be solved for Christ's sake, the Fundamentalists propose to drive out from Christian churches all the consecrated souls who do not agree with their theory of inspiration. What immeasurable folly!

Damn. This is devastating.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

DHS subpoenaed Google to identify Instagram users who posted about ICE raids. They didn't need an order from a judge or grand jury, because they can issue an administrative subpoena and approve it themselves. It took legal action to stop them.

Women are increasingly disenchanted with Republicans and conservative thinking, so instead of addressing their concerns, the GOP is turning to the SAVE Act, in an attempt to keep them from voting. Please call your reps and ask them to vote against it. www.alternet.org/save-act-mid...

Conservative friends: if you’re concerned about folks being “law-abiding,” and you want to protect children… maybe you could lend your voices to ending this farce? Contact your representative and demand the Epstein files be released!

I watched this live in first grade. It was the first national/global catastrophe I was aware of witnessing. I remember.

If ICE visits your home

9 countries in Northern Europe decided yesterday to reduce reliance of fossil fuel, by installing 300GW of offshore wind in the North Sea and the coastnear Atlantic Ocean. A 10X upscaling of existing capacity. Similarly the Energy Island Bornholm was agreed by Germany and Denmark in the Baltic Sea

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
