I just saw my first Spirit Halloween of the year. Nature is healing.

What’s Your Favorite Animated Car of All Time?

An opposition party could be saying daily: "The fascist in chief and his entire family are robbing you." Reporter: What do you think about climate change? OP: "The fascist in chief and his entire family are robbing you." Now about climate change....

What do you call it when a group of Roman Catholics get pleasure from the punishment they'll receive for ordaining bishops in a sacramental ceremony in defiance of the Pope? Mass o' schism

Obviously this is a dipshit opinion. But since I sometimes see people on the left rolling their eyes about those signs, I just want you all to know that the other night some lost Black teens came to our house after taking the wrong bus and we were able to get them home. Why’d they pick us? Signs.

a politician basically has two jobs: 1. be effective at translating the needs of their constituents into policy, and 2. selling that effectiveness to voters. if you're getting outflanked by an energetic primary challenger, you've probably failed at least one of those jobs

TIL the world's new favorite himbo once bought a 13th century copy of one of the Norse Sagas for $150,000, then donated it to the library because "I'm not much of a reader."

Good morning, blueberry fritter!

Happy New Fiscal Year! 🥳

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

I want to see a movement rise that actually puts the needs, dignity, and thriving of all human beings first—and you'll know if it does, because the media will treat it as "dangerous" in a way that it never managed for open white supremacist fascism led by an illiterate addled Nazi ragejunky.

don't mean to shortchange sotomayor or kagan but jackson's opinions read more to me as broad works of "what the fuck are you talking about" scholarship of the kind with which i'm more familiar than strictly legal text, and hers was certainly the most important today

ok going to look at the great American state fair myself before it becomes a heatstroke death trap

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

This account of a visit to the Great American State Fair is indeed worth a read. us2.campaign-archive.com?u=412942d89b...

A goofy little tune. If you don't sing along, I assume that you DO want JD Vance peeking in children's underpants.

Torn between: It would be nice if we could care that this is happening to trans girls without immediately pivoting to centering cis people And Anti-trans legislation is absolutely being used as a Trojan horse for wider restrictions on all girls/women and we need to be screaming about that

All forms of bigotry are acceptable in the age of Trump, but anti-trans bigotry is the last form of bigotry that’s acceptable to people who claim they aren’t bigots.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

Forget the Reflecting Pool. US Park Police say organized crime is operating on the National Mall, and no one's talking about it. My deep-dive into the pirate food trucks wreaking havoc around America's Front Lawn. washingtonian.com/2026/06/29/d...

When I was growing up, we were taught that there were 2 kingdoms of biological life: plants and animals. These days, I read that there are 5 or more kingdoms (e.g. fungi are not plants). Groovy, things are much more fascinating and complex than we used to think. This is a post about genders.

Not the point and not going to sway anyone, but as someone who has a degree in (among other things) biological anthropology, I just want to point out that the argument that there is only a gender binary is complete and utter bunk, the sort of thing that gets demolished in a 101 course on this stuff.

I hope today is a stark reminder why "I will follow the law" was an absolutely horrible way to respond to a question about trans rights.

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity. I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves. I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.

Today would be a good day to donate to @transupfrontil.com

So, apparently the SCOTUS majority's justification for allowing trans women to be banned from women's sports is they're concerned someone might get bonked too hard by a volleyball? #FuckSCOTUS

hoist the flag and tell SCOTUS to get fucked 🏴‍☠️ 🏳️‍⚧️

Next democratic president needs to appoint 100 SC justices and just keep appointing until the senate confirms them all. No other business until the courts are fixed.

In more uplifting news, here's a video that @danielbiss.bsky.social and @katmabu.bsky.social starred in to promote the opening of the Niles Township People's Prairie www.instagram.com/reel/DaLgydf...

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

I'm not going to fedpost but I am telling you all it is fine to have fedposting thoughts, especially today

Here's why you should care about the trans athletes case today: Because if discrimination on the basis of gender identity doesn't violate equal protection, trans people can be segregated, outed, denied medical care, denied housing, denied jobs, and excluded by the government.

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

Trans rights are human rights.

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

They’re not obeying in advance. They’re on board with it.

Share an 80s movie you will always love

It's not the JD version, which made me sad at first but holy shit the bass is delicious. Definitely one for the earworm list and stuck on loop.

Woke up with this song in my head, even though the only wine I've had lately was that cup of Pinio Grigio from the Library of Congress booth on Friday evening. youtu.be/7hXLDgrt5mY

I feel like she, specifically, should know better

Another fuckin' day is about to begin.
