This is blue MAGA in action. Remember all those people looking for a Democrat Joe Rogan? Well they also want a Democrat Trump. If we keep doing what we've always done, all roads will lead to fascism in the end.

Sikhs have been feeding anyone who shows up for free once a day or more for about five and a half centuries. Gudwaras by definition have industrial kitchens for the purpose.

Yeah, just caught a student wearing these in my classroom on Monday. I went thermonuclear - not on him at the moment, but I emailed all his teachers and the principal and parent; he almost got away with wearing them during the PSAT.

If you live in the Bay Area: this 5 month old male cat was a TNR (trap, neuter,release), but he's very friendly, not like a feral cat. He's cute too!!!! Please consider this sweet boy, or ask your neighbors if they'd like to adopt him. Please repost. Thanks, friends!! 🥰😍😺❤️💐🌼

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

This just…. I…Steve please

Also, if you have the good fortune not to need SNAP, shut the everloving fuck up about what recipients buy. Certain kinds of food are not morally virtuous. You’re doing the Calvinist shit when you judge someone who’s trying to get by for getting like…protein bars and spices or cake mixes.

*uncontrollable screaming intensifies*

Asking on behalf of E, a Black trans femme. She needs a new phone ASAP, as hers abruptly stopped working yesterday. E’s phone was her primary source of contact for work, housing, banking, etc. she’s asking for $500 by 10/25. Venmo: @paymagi 🐠 on the memo line. For other $ platforms, contact me.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

Ok #witchsky I have a question for you. How do you mourn a tree? We had a ponderosa pine in our backyard. It had to be removed. It was growing in a way that would threaten our home and our neighbor's home. That said, trees are homes and I value my tree neighbors very much. I hated to do it. 1/2

Wow. I completely forgot these things existed until right now. That takes me back.

I have some bad news for all you cis women voting and working to ban HRT. You are going to NEED that shit when you hit peri/menopause. All of our struggles for bodily autonomy against a fascist cisheteropatriarchy are connected.

Weird how "everyone gets human rights" and "we don't fund genocide" and "absolutely no Nazi tattoos" are called "purity tests" by the people who aren't getting targeted by the bigotry they're minimizing, amirite

Folks outside of Idaho, the Wilder raid is a big deal

⚧️ RADICAL TRANS IDEOLOGY ⚧️

This is a heartbreaking moment from that raid.

RFK Jr. has shut down the Office of Long COVID Research and Practice, gutted funding, and derailed trials and studies.

I honestly think that trying to legislate what was in Platner's heart and what/when he understood is a trap. It doesn't matter to me. It's actually okay to just go, "man I'd love to believe you've changed but I'm going to need to see proof of it in a place with lower stakes than the US Senate"

You know what that "Big Tent" thinking also got Democrats? The defeat of abortion rights. Because they long ago decided that your rights are negotiable under "reasonable disagreements"

Nikita Gill, one of my favorite poets, on IG

Foot in mouth disease anyone?

Congrats Idahoans. You are now legally allowed to die instead of receiving medical intervention AND you can kill/disable people by refusing vaccines and spreading around archaic diseases with no cure. I guess some people have to reinvent the dark ages to remember why they were called dark.

Cancel my calls, if you need me, I’ll be gibbering in the corner.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

Don’t know where this was but this is a #NoKings protest that ended with a resource fair and I think that is awesome and hope there were a lot of sites that did that!

Here at the Portland #NoKings, the costumes are ON POINT.

reposting with alt-text Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights. lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

This sign @glopan.bsky.social spotted made me laugh

It is Luddite, in the true meaning of the term. The luddites were a distributed, organized revolutionary movement targeting the use of automation by capitalists to exploit and displace skilled workers. They weren’t just grumpy about technology

i’m waiting on a new ebt card since my old one was deactivated for no apparent reason. i am hungry and my therapist has twice expressed concern over how much weight i’ve lost. i need food, and i can’t afford it without food stamps. venmo and cashapp are eecifi

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

May it be so* * If profound embarassment is the only bad thing to come from the AI hype bubble, we will be getting off incredibly lightly.

knowing you're not immune from disinformation is a necessary thing! it helps keep you alert to lies coming from purported allies.

These three things are true: 1. You should go to the rally. 2. You should practice good opsec just in case—even if you're a bunch of retirees milling about in a parking lot, it's good to practice. 3. You should talk to your neighbors and turn the energy into action that will carry past tomorrow.

I'm extremely resentful of Louis XIV. That motherfucker had a lawn and so now everyone has a goddamn lawn and we waste so much money, land, water and poison just to have lawns. Because of Louis XIV. Fuck that guy. The French aristocracy would have fallen because of anger about lawns eventually.

As a writer, if you kill cats or dogs to up the ante in your story, I am done. I have seen what the public does to pets they don't value first hand. I don't care who is reflecting what. Plots like that reinforce the idea that animals are disposable which has real life consequences.

🧿🪬Fun fact: This spice blend is specifically used for drawing prosperity and warding away evil energy and bad spirits, so if you "don't like pumpkin spice" WE KNOW WHY, DEMON! 🤣😭

And, again, maybe the immediate answer here isn't "train on more disabled users' faces!" but rather perhaps stopping and thinking "hey maybe a sociotechnical paradigm that is literally predicated on and made of unending surveillance and a demand for certain 'right kinds' of bodies is bad actually 🤔"

Mitch McConnell pretending all of this bullshit had nothing to do with "his" Republicans when he's the prick who wouldn't confirm Obama's court nod, going against all precedents. You were a pivotal atchitect in getting here, you fetid turd. Hell's waiting.

‼️ this was a striking moment, to me Louisiana was basically like 'here come these Black people always asking for more' and Justice Jackson was like, 'that's not what the fuck they're asking for, they're saying: stop discriminating against us'

COMPANY TOWNS, FOR PRIVATELY RUN FOR PROFIT CONCENTRATION CAMPS! ITS BIG BUSINESS BABY! AND BUSINESS IS BOOMING! www.npr.org/2025/10/13/n...

Cook Unity is advertising FINALLY A MEAL PLAN FOR MEN and I wonder why /food/ has to be gendered. WE SERVE YOU STUFF WE KILLED WITH OUR BARE HANDS. WE STRANGLED THAT COW. TO DEATH. WE RIPPED THAT BROCCOLI FROM THE MOTHERFUKKIN' GROUND. NNNNGN. LOOK, OUR OWN GRAVY. SHIT, THAT SOUNDS GAY. NO HOMO.

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.
