Once again…YOU’RE DEMOGRAPHIC IS THE PROBLEM. Stop worrying about everyone else and start worrying about Y’ALL not being able to muster 50%. Y’ALL could end this but you want to be friends with the people voting away all of our rights. Minorities are not your mules. Marinate on THAT.

We don't have to defeat Trump. We have to defeat the systems that nurtured, created, and empowered Trump. Many of those systems are built around the comfort of white people, cis people, and abled people, at the expense of everyone else.

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery. She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting” She had to return to the hospital. These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill. They must be held accountable.

With TRON ARES about to hit, here’s a bit I wrote for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social on the original TRON and it’s fabulous composer, the amazing Wendy Carlos

Happened to me all week. People disagreed with a thing I said and suddenly I was incompetent, a bad lawyer, a grifter, a clout chaser, a hypocrite, and a liar. When a white person told some folks the same thing, suddenly they agreed.

yeah. where's ricky gervais and his annoying fucking cackle now? where's dave chappelle?

We’re peacefully protesting for our neighbors. What does ICE do? Pick us up and throw us on the ground. No arrest, no identification, no process.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

NEW: Shame on the Wall Street Journal for moving forward without details about their single-source reporting on this. The ATF is now saying the "internal law enforcement memo" about "transgender and anti-fascist ideologies" has NOT been verified and DOES NOT match their information.

This is an appropriate response to the Utah governor, unlike the tirade from the Oval Office. We’re in a death spiral and need to pull out somehow

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain. The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services. That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Centrist idiot unwittingly admits he really wants a Reform government.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

Call me old-fashioned, but I ask you: WHY do we let the tech industry do whatever the fuck it wants? I, for one, don’t WANT the future Silicone Valley is shoving down our throats. NO to strangers being able to dox me as I walk down the street. NO to them being able to do it to my daughters.

The Omidiyar network is NOT A DARK MONEY GROUP. I have always disclosed my funding. I have never taken dark money. These creators have not disclosed funding and have taken dark money. I have never taken funding from 1630 and I have zero financial ties to the 1630 fund.

She had a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders like a cape. Not an American flag.

finding ways to help can be overwhelming in the face of so much need, but any act of care means something to someone. today, you can join Amina Akhmadeeva in supporting Palestinian families with the Sameer Project. all proceeds from this run of prints go to bringing essential aid where it matters.

Finally we will be freed from the weird tyranny of the 9 minute snooze!

Bugs is back, post your favorite bug. Am I doing this right?

I think a lot of these “perfect is the enemy of good so we’re ok with anti-trans candidates” are just privileged white people facing adversity for the first time in their entire lives and are so fucking fragile and terrified they’re willing to do anything and kill anyone to protect themselves.

What does he mean by “Taking everybody seriously?” Most people honestly don’t care. It’s just right wing voices and media that make a stink. He has no need or duty to appeal to them.

What I'm reading here is that if you want your concerns addressed you shouldn't throw paint on planes or march peacefully, you should set fire to things and riot.

NEW — Video shared with me by a bystander shows Customs and Border Patrol violently arresting people yesterday outside a Home Depot in Van Nuys, CA. One man screams in agony as he’s handcuffed, while another is on the ground with two agents on top of him. The agents refuse to identify themselves.
