Indeed.

1/People always ask me: when the Supreme Court creates bad law what do you do? Well, we can start with amending the Constitution. Between 1909 and 1920, we amended the Constitution, 4 times. We have not amended the Constitution since 1971. We might want to figure out some new amendments.

And I’m not being reactionary about this. I said this back in 2019 about the entire primary field. Biden was on the shitlist from the start. www.patreon.com/posts/300736...

Cerebus was my favorite comic by FAR for a long time. I still think it's a towering achievement of storytelling genius. When I was going to college, I could only afford one comic, and it was Cerebus. The whole thing makes me sad a bit. I wish Dave Sim well. Gerhard has been lovely to me.

Anti-Fascism is the least we can expect from each other.

In 1998, a court decided that a woman's denim jeans meant she must have consented to being raped. This horrifying ruling inspired Denim Day, a day for sexual violence awareness and solidarity with survivors.

. @aoc.bsky.social responds to this trend: "BOOOOO" "This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me, calling it an uninspiring message. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together."

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

Y’all don’t know how despucable these folks are. www.al.com/politics/202...

I had a rough day so my bestie surprised me a slice of caramel macchiato cheesecake on my kitchen island. 🥹 That bitch love me so bad. 🥰😆

A fascinating and amazing book, beautifully written and read. I wasn't sure how I would react to it, but I have been honoured to read Gisèle's story, and ultimately uplifted by it. #BookSky

A SCOTUS that believes that the Constitution protects the political rights of corporations more than it does those of non-White Americans is fundamentally illegitimate and its rulings should be treated as such

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 We recommend all age appropriate vaccines. They are Life-Saving. They are safe. I’m responsible for 100,000s of doses. I’ve only had two significant adverse reactions in my cohort of patients for >20 years.

Far from being "soft canceled," Bill Maher is actually a major beneficiary of the system that gives outsized megaphones to mediocre white men. Despite his spectacular ignorance and lazy humor he never goes away, he just lingers on our TVs decade after decade like a pustule.

Walked into my daughter & Art’s room to open the window & grab the medical pole for his feeding machine and saw a new book on my daughter’s bed. My baby works at a bookstore & always comes home with the best books. So proud of them for exploring the classics. 🌹 #lilithsbrood

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

61 years ago last month, 70 miles from here. Today is the day to make sure you know about Bloody Sunday, the VRA, what we lost with Shelby v Holder, and what we lost today.

As a former pack-a-day smoker, do not bring back indoor smoking. When I smoked I had no idea how bad it was to smoke around people who weren’t also smoking. Like on the STREET it sucks. Don’t do this to other people

The Tumbler Ridge shooter used OpenAI to talk about gun violence. The system flagged it, and 12 staff members alerted management and begged to contact the police. Management refused, and 9 people died. 27 were injured. An entire community was destroyed. Management should face criminal charges:

Terry Pratchett is a lifelong inspiration to me as an artist and as a person. His writing changed the way I think about humanity, myself, world events, history, power, religion, death, aging, wisdom, magic, libraries, imagination, kindness, and loss. When in doubt- read a Terry Pratchett book.

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

Today’s reprehensible Supreme Court decision, as Justice Kagan wrote in her dissent, eviscerates the Voting Rights Act. Fight back. Help flip two seats on the Georgia Supreme Court on May 19. Read about why this battle matters and how to get involved: www.benwikler.com/p/want-to-fi...

THAT’S RIGHT!!!!

Supreme Court Overturns ‘Right v. Wrong’ https://theonion.com/supreme-court-overturns-right-v-wrong-1819573211/

a lot of white liberals in positions of power across law traded their silence on this for their own career advancement

Like I said: the civil rights era never ended. You are still in it. The most important form of free speech, is the right to vote. Racists don't want Black people to vote. So they wrote down a plan to stack the Supreme Court with people that would make it harder for Black people to vote. It worked

8. So while I don't think Callais is *apocalyptic* for Democrats, it's still a hideous perversion of the Constitution that will undermine democracy and racial equality for years. The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead. The 15th Amendment has been repurposed to greenlight racism. It's a dark day.

Nazis: We are nazis! We are doing this because we are nazis! We like being nazis! Black people: When people say that they are nazis, I believe them. White people: No one can tell if the racism is intentional or just a sequence of unfortunate coincidences! We can never tell what's in their hearts!🤡

How strange that Nigel Farage would suddenly remember his house being attacked, mere hours before the Guardian published that he'd taken five million in undeclared crypto cash

I recently made a South Park reference in one of my classes and none of them got it. As a millennial with degrees in Nutrition and Public Health, I’m a firm believer that Gluten Free Ebola (S: 18, E: 2) should be required viewing for people after a certain age. Andreaformaine.com

if you have aphantasia and never heard of SDAM btw, might be worth reading up on it for me, it explained so much about myself to me because I legit thought I was a psychopath for a while but nope, just SDAM

Y'all. We raised A LOT of money yesterday for providing free healthcare. 🥹 Thank you so much to everyone who helped. We take care of us. 🩷

Biden was president in 2022 when he caved to political pressure and claimed the pandemic was over—after running on following the science, establishing clean indoor air as an OSHA standard, improved vaccines, etc. COVID is a bipartisan failure. bsky.app/profile/gayf...

I could do weird, wonderful things writing earnest natural history and exploration pieces for InfoWars, @bencollins.bsky.social.

Unambiguously a violation of grand jury secrecy in a way that would normally be a massive problem, and in this instance is about a dozen items down the list.

An easy way to seem psychic when you're really just paying a tiny bit of attention to the world around you is to immediately always assume & loudly proclaim that any shot jackboot in any given headline was in fact shot by a fellow jackboot lol you will always be right and people will be amazed

It’s Terry Pratchett Day! My favourite author, who gave me an escape when I needed it, inspired me to be a better person, and taught me the value of truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg. “When in doubt, choose to live.” 📚💙 #TerryPratchettDay
