comey getting indicted by a grand jury but sandwich guy getting a pass actually says a LOT about trump’s america and it isn’t good for trump

Okay so here's where people get unsettled: it really does feel like there should be someone to call and complain to! We were promised a government, damn it! most societies under this kind of pressure learn quickly that we choose society and must always. The only people to call is us a decade ago.

It’s soup season! #art

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

Random internet trolls should not be able to get away with ruining a good person’s life simply because she (fully legally!) posted a joke about them on the internet. If you have anything to spare to help my friend fight back against this monster please donate.

imagine telling taylor goddamn swift, with a straight face, that she should perform for free because the exposure is valuable

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

FOUND THIS IN MY SONS ROO M WHAT IS IT. SHOUKD I BE CONCERNED

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Weird how that works

This whole thread is extremely my shit

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Like we saw this last time with kushner and miller, but now it's the entire leadership It's all a bunch of Nazi rapists randomly shifting job titles back and forth in a fucked up game of calvinball. "is he the head of this new agency? Isn't he also the head of 4 other agencies now?"

bad news from portland: my csa has been named a domestic terrorist organization

I repeat that whenever you see a man toss a woman around in front of witnesses and cameras, you can bet he’s had practice in private.

This is so brilliant. It's a concrete action with immediate benefits that can be performed incrementally

Paul Mescal implies the existence of Paul Tekila

remember when jose altuve claimed there was a tattoo bad enough a baseball player would be ashamed of it. anyway.

The thing about baseball is that being too smart is usually a detriment. This is a sport for himbos. Whenever baseball players start Getting Ideas, they should generally stop that.

Omg why is going to bed so hard? It’s literally so comfy in there.

It’s people dead that ain’t got no business being dead

It looks like Dinosaur Field Station of NJ is closing and selling their Dino sculptures

The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

Glorious.

Moment of silence at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Never saw a moment of silence in the middle of a march. Deeply moving. So many people have been hurt by this administration. Abolish ICE.

This rally was just announced maybe 10 days ago? I want you to know that you are not alone. Find the people who are standing up in your community and join them. We are going to win.

And so we cha cha on, sliding to the left, borne ceaselessly back now y’all

a trader joe’s employee who says “really? these fucking suck, in my honest opinion” to every single item in your cart

Additionally, we will be charging a 30% tariff on being mean to me

I don’t want to ask CoPilot, I am making a Word document. I don’t want to search with Meta AI, I want to search Instagram. Leave me alone

it's don't kill yourself thursday. repost to don't kill yourself

This is correct, and it’s the general point I’m trying to make. I think Kirk’s behavior was blasphemous. And I think many of the responses to his death have been heretical. And they should be called such. bsky.app/profile/swor...

“Christ insists that the measure of faithfulness is what is done for the least among us…Yet the American right and, indeed, American evangelicals have spent decades given over to Nietzschean cults of power worship, masculinity, and narcissism.” Read my latest on the Kirk memorial and MAGA.

It is absolutely descriptively true of a lot of American evangelical Christianity to say it is obsessed with power, riven by prejudice, and deeply paranoid. But these are still sins per the teachings of Christ. bsky.app/profile/asel...

Billionaires using the language of faith to destabilize the civil order is indicative of malice, not stupidity

This discussion has me thinking about how wanting a lack of moral ambiguity is a privilege.

STOP TRUMP, YES ON 50

When the Supreme Court overturns Obergefell:

Occasional reminder that Trump hates American Indians even more than he hates immigrants (though arguably less than he hates Black Americans).

That Secretary of War Airhead McFunsocks literally can't understand how powerful and effective the US military is because all he can see is girl cooties and uppity people of color is a testament to how remarkably dumb he is.

I'm at the church's Democracy and Politics meeting. We're working on organizing for Prop 50.

Poor people vote Republican, so making more poor people is the plan

I finally cleaned up my messy cablework
