In case this wasn't already clear:

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

The first full day of autumn will still feel like summer across the Bay Area. But we're not likely to break any records, and the heat won't last long! Back to near-average highs with a chance of rain showers on Wednesday...

This sounds like a negotiating tactic for stuff like affiliate fees frankly

This Saturday! I'm going to be part of an afternoon of Feminist Futurism vs Project 2025, at MarinMOCA, organized by the incredible Sistah SciFi. Featuring Faith Adiele, Tamika Thompson, Angela Dalton and me, moderated by Isis Asare. www.eventbrite.com/e/feminist-f...

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization. David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year.

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs. By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

Holy shit

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

We have always been ending wars between Cambodia and Armenia. Apologies to Mr. Orwell for this

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I have been saying this for 3 years now; it is evident from even a theorerical understanding of these systems' operations. But ppl keep claiming it's not true or not important, or could be patched over, & so I keep hoping each time an "AI" company CEO comes out & admits will be the one that sticks

thinking about this a lot rn. we just watched GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK and like. idk man. i think everyone should do themselves a favor and learn in some way more about how we have actually been here before, and how we claw it back. it not only *can* be done. it’s *been* done, in living memory.

Executive orders cannot supersede federal law or the constitution. Federal law sets visa fees, including for H-1B visas. And the maximum fee is $4,500, according to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-113). Current State Dept. site: travel.state.gov/content/trav...

We have been shadowbanned on this event and yet we are nearly sold out…come help us sell out and show your love and support for Palestine and Gaza. www.ticketmaster.com/voices-for-g...

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

"Every single reliable poll shows that a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump. Media brands that cave to Trump, or appear to do so, risk alienating a huge swath of the American audience." —@brianstelter.bsky.social e.newsletters.cnn.com/click?Ecm9zZ...

A man was killed and several others were injured in a shooting at a country club in New Hampshire on Saturday, and a suspect was later detained, the local authorities said.

Lenin Riefenstahl had a scheduled visit to Hollywood, but the Nazis did Kristallnacht the week befofe her trip, so everyone boycotted her EXCEPT WALT, who gave her a whole day long tour of his studio (although he wouldn't show her new work because the projectionists might realize what was happening)

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. What an idiot.

“The leader of the free world” wanted to send a DM to Attorney General Pam Bondi. Instead he posted it to everyone on Truth Social. It’s now been deleted. Medical intervention required.
