The kids are not transphobic, but they are kinda brutal 😂

Huh, TIL! Good thread.

Everything about this is ridiculous, but it’s especially rich for anyone in this administration to say a damn thing about civility and being nice to each other

Big kitty cam!

Evergreen haiku, about so many things

Noem is mad about the whistles. Good job everyone.

Yeet is the sound of a defenestration when there isn't a window to break

I just got my froggy fidget spinner from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com's shop on Etsy, and I can confirm that it is very satisfying to fidget with. It's just the right size!

I grew up in white evangelical fundamentalist churches. I wish I could say I was surprised.

“Benevolence is for our members.” How are you any different than a fitness center? A dinner club? An insurance company? Anything else in which people pay for benefits?

Every ad now

I really need everyone in power at the DNC to not get distracted by this and to just embrace Let Them Fight. You do not have to hand it to the Jewish Space Laser Lady. Ever.

Ensuring that Americans eat well should be a top priority for the federal government; no one should go hungry here, we're the wealthiest nation on earth. It's especially egregious that the Trump regime cut food aid to Native Americans, yet again failing to fulfill our treaty obligations.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 Just now seeing the good news - we're on our way to a better Seattle!

Something beautiful for this day: Zinnia, Yakima, Washington (September 2024). #zinnias #flowers

I'm not a researcher myself, so anybody with expertise should feel free to correct me, but isn't AI famous for quoting from and citing completely fabricated sources? That sounds like the exact wrong kind of revolution you'd want from the literature review process.

Don't call the cops on someone in a mental health crisis unless you want them dead.

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Another sick burn from The Bad Place. Lol

Nailed it

Every time I read a clip or summary of an interview with Trump, I wonder how we ended up in such a stupid timeline. I mean, I know how, but for real!? Presumably Trump voters watch these interviews, right? They love Fox news? And they conclude that this is the president they want? Hoooow??

Good. More of this everywhere, please!

Trans people aren’t the ones trying desperately to take away our healthcare or food benefits or kill public education or all the other things the GOP is destroying.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

FUCK ALL THESE WORTHLESS FUCKS ----- The Democrats siding with Republicans on the vote Sunday night were Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John Fetterman, D-Pa., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Tim Kaine, D-Va., Angus King, I-Maine, Jackie Rosen, D-Nev., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H […]

it feels like this

If you can’t see how ramping up taco stand enforcement, with SPD no less, is putting our immigrant communities at risk right now, I don’t know what to tell you. ICE is gonna be sitting on the scanner just waiting for SPD to basically tell them where to go. This is patently obvious.

Fuck yeah!

Translation: gerrymander harder

This is most certainly going to be used for eugenics to screen people they view as genetically inferior from the US. It's also going to be used to target gender nonconforming people with expensive DNA tests. If sex is so fundamental, why do they need a dystopian police state to enforce it?

A thread of Onion articles in memory of America's favorite war criminal

It's not that every individual driver is a murderous asshole (I'm not!). It's that car dependency as a whole is dangerous. It's that cars are deadly when they hit people. It's that our society prioritizes drivers above all else. It's about a system that is dangerous for anyone not in a car.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Evergreen post

seeing people talk about setting up mini food pantries in tandem with giving out halloween candy while corporations fund extreme makeover: white house edition is the sign of sick, broken society. i mean what in the actual fuck.

if knowingly starving millions of americans while he builds a gilded ballroom isn't cause for revolution then i'm not sure what is

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Great piece by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social - this is a good summary of a major problem with American culture: "Our culture is built to eternally forgive men, generally, and white men of means, especially, for their mistakes." We let well-off white men get away with almost anything, no consequences

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I love Chicago

This makes a lot of sense to me. How are people supposed to reintegrate with society and stay out of trouble if their record prevents them from finding a job, renting an apartment or accessing social services?

Abolish ICE

Someone said 'Men want the relationships their fathers' had and women don't want the relationships their mothers' had' and that's one of the truest things I've ever heard.

Amazing thread about polar bears

This might be the grimmest description of the purpose of healthcare I've ever seen

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

As good a message as you can get with words except I wish it could end with: “if you do hit a kid with your vehicle, this day or any day, we will publicly crush it on TV”

I'm remembering hearing this song freshman year (at a bible college! scandalous!) and wondering where the girl who had the CD ended up. I hope she got all the way out of white evangelical fundamentalism, too. Also I need to hear the rest of their work - I had no idea what they were about
