whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

yes this timeline is a rough route. yes there are waves of strife. but behind it all lies the inertia of all things which prompted fish to trot out of the ocean and humans to gather in commune. we are driven to fill the nothing with ourselves, with LOVE. its the unconquerable wind behind our sails

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Stay salty DC 🔥

guys it’s really not funny that the fbi agent took a footlong to the chest. stop laughing. it’s NOT FUNNY that an fbi agent in head to toe tactical gear tried to chase the guy who hucked a sandwich straight at his bulletproof vest but couldn’t outrun him

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

This makes me actually nauseous what in the absolute fuck

Word of the day is ‘forwallowed’ (15th century): extremely weary from tossing and turning all night.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm glad that dems are mobilized after what happened today, but I wish they would ever mobilize this much when its constituents are being terrorized en masse. Not lost on me that they're all making big moves now that one of their own was roughed up after days of violence on everyone else.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Greta has more courage in her 22 years than most politicians will have in their lifetimes 🙌🏼

Saw one of the gayest things i’ve ever seen on a walk just now: a person with an iced coffee crouching down to gently pet mushrooms

BREAKING: New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested at an ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting U.S. attorney says.

Hi, @motherjones.com disabled disability reporter here, I really want to hear about how tariffs are impacting disabled, chronically ill, and aging folks. Reposts appreciated and my email is [email protected].

I understand that "Nothing will happen, nothing will change, they won't do anything, you're a fool for hoping" is a way of venting in a dark, hard time, so it is with kindness that I say shut the fuck up. Tell it to your wall or your canary or your right hand, but don't put it in responses to me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Amid the rolling chaos surrounding the SignalGate scandal, one thing is being overlooked: the United States wiped out an entire residential structure in order to kill one target in Yemen. www.discourseblog.com/p/the-horror...

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

I didn’t put my name on this at the time, but I want yall to know that I wrote Hard Drive’s “apology” to Musk after they ratioed him. hard-drive.net/hd/technolog...

I hate it when I accidentally tell all my secrets to the editor of the Atlantic. Real oopsie doopsies

Trump on his cabinet members using Signal to text war plans to a reporter: "I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. To be it's a magazine that's going out of business. But I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what?"

BREAKING Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was accidentally included in a Signal group chat with top Trump administration officials, where top-secret war plans related to Yemen were shared. Full Story: bit.ly/4c4hqW2

Uh Oh: Area Man Felt a Burst of Potential Productivity, But Then Beyond All Sense Decided to Check the News and Now He's Experiencing ~ * ~ Nihilism ~ * ~

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

This is a US court of law, refusing to bar illegal actions of the Executive branch out of an explicit concern that its agents will react with deadly force.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

If you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8, it tells your body you’re safe. This slows your heart rate, relaxes your nervous system, and helps shift you out of fight-or-flight mode. Now do it.

AAHHHH

ONWARD to funding our 27th classroom of the month. This Sacramento educator teaches in a district where all students are low income. Her ask is for a library of material to teach students about culturally diverse holiday and spiritual celebrations. $293. www.donorschoose.org/project/assa...

2. Why is it important? Not because a 300 person protest is going to change anything by itself. It's important because it normalizes protest. It helps train people for how to do it. It builds community. And sets the stage for the really big ones we will need when the moment demands it.

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

It is indeed #ShutTheFuckUpFriday bsky.app/profile/ppls...

Cosign all of this. Additionally: - Yes, you need to install and use Signal - No, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc etc are not good alternatives - You need to get as many people as you can to join you on Signal

And a friendly reminder that @heyitspip.bsky.social and I are always accepting new questions for our newsletter, which we send twice a month (once with an editorial focus, once with a marketing focus, often somewhere in between) You can submit your questions here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1i54...

None of us are free until all of us are free. If trans people aren’t safe, neither am I. I know who these people are because they are who they have always been.

We've created a tracker that covers all executive orders affecting LGBTQ folks along with federal and state legislation. We're at 334 anti-LGBTQ bills. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Credit @alli.gay @erininthemorning.com @evanurquhart.bsky.social @miralazine.bsky.social @lizsaila.bsky.social

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Colorado friends - A bill to protect school libraries and librarians from book bans (SB25-063) is coming up in front of the Colorado State Senate Education Committee on February 10. It needs to get approved by this committee to have a chance at becoming law. THE BILL NEEDS YOUR HELP. (1/4)

I genuinely do not agree that cruelty is the point. Power is the point. Fascism is the point. These people have real, identifiable goals and it’s not Richard III shit. It’s Macbeth and King Claudius shit.
