Very pleased to announce that I will be speaking at Reed College this Tuesday, March 17th, about how we can fight back. Swing by if you would like to! events.reed.edu/event/what-i...

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

Epstein files. Epstein files. Epstein files.

The Democratic Party wants you to think there’s nothing they can do as the minority party, something the GOP has proven false over and over and over again. These Dems are complicit in fascism.

A pedophile. An adjudicated rapist. A convicted felon. A pathological liar. A sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A sadist. A racist. A fascist. A traitor. An insurrectionist. A war-monger. A demagogue. A despot. An enemy of the Constitution. An American nightmare.

Reminder that none of things that Trump and his goons want Americans to be afraid of are responsible for bombing Iran. TRUMP DID THAT.

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

Those who live in glass concentration camps shouldn’t throw stones.

These are the Epstein wars. Two white old men, who for various reasons are hoping a war turns their fortunes around.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I still won’t forget about the Epstein Files

Y'all, we shipped ~45k whistles in December. I think we shipped ~35k whistles TODAY. This team of rogue 3D printing enthusiasts is... really rocking & rolling. 💓💃 And thank you to all of you who helped supply the filament & shipping $ so that could happen!

This is illegal act of war committed by a president who is actively trying to cover up evidence he sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl. This should not be treated as legitimate in any way.

If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

If one really believed this latest tired version of Ronald Reagan's tired, shabby talking point, then one would support a set of policies including: - Actually "open borders" - Free trade - Not using government paramilitaries to occupy cities & kill civilians - Not running concentration camps - Etc

We are counter-programming the State of the Union with a fundraising telethon featuring everyone’s favorite Bluesky posters doing short presentations and sketches on stuff they are passionate about. Will stream on YouTube starting at 8:30pm EST postersmadness.wordpress.com

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

EFTA01157206.pdf Hey all, can we please, PLEASE normalize citing file names for stuff from the Epstein files? We did it with normalizing alt text, we can do it with this. There’s a lot of wild stuff flying around about who/what is in the files, and not all of it is true.

For my Lego friends. If you want your own and also get to support a cause, Dan @ Brickmania has these available. (Well not all of these, just the torsos and signs) www.brickmania.com/benefit-bric...

SCOOP: Less than 1 month before Trump came out against a new bridge connecting Michigan with Canada, the billionaire owner of an existing bridge donated $1M to the Trump-backed super PAC, MAGA Inc. with @matinastevis.bsky.social

It is difficult, as a Jew whose family was massacred in the Holocaust, to watch people come to this realization. Millions of us died because of people like this. The Holocaust was not that long ago! People have not evolved out of racism and bigotry. Folks like this will always live among us.

Today, the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s harmful tariffs, but so many small businesses have already felt the financial pain. Today I’m introducing the RELIEF Act to make our small businesses whole by refunding the tariffs they paid.

and this part. this part most of all. bsky.app/profile/rebe...

a lot of Logistics Guys just don't think a handful of cranky book nerd ladies can be kicking their ass this hard at logistics and like, sorry, but we are. 🤣

Honestly, keep up the good work, everyone. We're so close to pulling back the curtain to reveal a Kansas huckster.

So there's a black girl scout troop trying to raise money to to to Europe but they aren't close to their goal as of yet. Please share this and buy some cookies if you can digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/reagan...

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act. The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Change my mind.

I made this colorwork chart in 2018 listening to Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony. Evergreen message. BELIEVE WOMEN is a free colorwork chart: insomniaknitting.com/designs/colo... #knitting #believewomen

We're getting numb to impeachable offenses, but this is an *artisan* impeachable offense. It's the good stuff. Top shelf. Fine, Corinthian constitutional crisis.

Les Wexner's attorney during the House Oversight Committee deposition on Epstein: "I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."

A confirmation hearing has been set for next Wednesday for Steve Pearce, Trump's latest pick to head the Bureau of Land Management. If you care about public lands, call your senators. I wrote about Pearce's uniquely disqualifying past back in November at Sierra: www.sierraclub.org/sierra/conse...

Truly the public is not furious enough.

Join us Tuesday Feb 24 at 2:30pm Pacific for a live virtual town hall with @wyden.senate.gov, @merkley.senate.gov, and their fellow Oregonians.

Now look, I get that I’m not a high powered Dem consultant, but is there a reason we can’t run on seizing the FUCKING SLUSH FUND Trump is setting up and sending every criminal in this administration, including but not limited to those in DHS/CBP/ICE to fucking jail? Is that not a thing we can do?

SHOCK NEWS: Loathsome cat owner AGAIN brings home WRONG TREAT FLAVOR... developing story

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

As always, I’m happy to talk with folks about my experience leaving Substack! Yes it was hard and annoying and there was an adjustment period. Yes it was worth it for many many reasons!

The North Shore will always have my heart… But in, like, September.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Note that Andrew is not currently being investigated for crimes of sexual assault or abuse. “… the allegation is that he shared with Epstein confidential government information that he had access to because he was a UK trade envoy.” www.reuters.com/world/live-a...
