I was 4, & saw the Star Trek Original Series episode, "The Corbomite Maneuver."

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

2026 basically

My non-athletic ass: "What is this, competitive mopping?"

Remembering that I'm the quiet sibling. 😆

Remember when we took back Congress during Trump's first term, w/ donations of $2-5 ea? Let's do it again.

Tomorrow, I'm going to the Montana secretary of state to have my grandmother's birth certificate, and my Great-Grandmother's death certificate, apostilled. An apostille is an official seal by the state that verifies the document as true, & *has to be done in the state it's issued in*. I'm hoping

I'm getting my grandmother's birth certificate, & the clerk is like, "You're extremely well-prepared." Me: "Yeah, I'm applying for Canadian Citizenship, & this is making me be *extremely careful.*"

Guys, I think Montana is the prettiest thing I've ever seen.

Maybe it's because I'm from Baltimore, but I am *weirded out* by not seeing any POC, anywhere in the airport, except for service jobs.

The airport is close to the Whipple building. The Haven volunteers will be there to help people who are released from immigration detention.

So, I'm taking a trip that's requiring a long layover in Minneapolis. I'm eager to simply observe & listen.

I used to be pretty good at triggering lucidity in dreams, and one of the main ways I'd do it was looking at closely at environmental text and seeing whether it actually made any sense. Which I think is part of what makes AI slop image nonsense text SO disorienting for me.

"Oh no! My nickname & haircut nailed my feet to the floor!" Said no one ever.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Good Omens 3 on May 13th!!! @xianjaneway.bsky.social

This is TRUE. One way to do this is to pretend you're an eBay seller. Look up the prices of random things you see while you're out shopping or running errands, & your algorithm will NEVER know what to send you: youtu.be/AJf4SNuDnoI?...

"Having Donald Trump as president is like having a horse, loose in a hospital."

This is my new "Umbrella" rule: when I see it, I repost it.

Are we shocked? No, they've done the exact same thing w/ black protests for decades.

Conveniently located in El Paso, TX. 💔

The American Right doesn't 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 care about... • 1A • 2A • "The Troops" • Veterans • law enforcement • law in general • their neighbours • Women, even white ... and they sure as shit don't give a rat's ass about children. Like, at all. #selfish #hypocrites

The airspace over El Paso airport, Texas, has been suddenly closed by the FAA for ten days, closing the airport too. The airspace has been defined as "National Defence Airspace". Nobody knows why. (Via @osinttechnical.bsky.social on X)

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

On Monday evening, Rachel Maddow spotlighted this group working out of Baltimore. Just another in a long list of unsung, American heroes. Donate to their project! www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

Seems like a great time for the government to be wall-to-wall with the message 'if you see a masked, armed goon with no visible identification pushing a grandmother into an unmarked van DO NOT INTERVENE OR PHOTOGRAPH THEM'

The FBI is releasing these images of a likely suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Wanted to make sure that everybody is on the lookout for this person. If you have any information, please call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or the local sheriff at 520-351-4900.

Holy shit. Ro Khanna fucking did it. He just went up there and read the six redacted names into record and threw down the gauntlet, challenging conservatives to join the fight against the "Epstein Class." Did we just see our generations' "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" moment?

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES. We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker. Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

Good Lord.

This is why they'll *never* be replaced with computers. 😍

Welp, I feel like I've hit some sort of ex-Evangelical milestone--how should I celebrate?

Seriously, I would give Trump SO MUCH CREDIT for this, if he hadn't rendered them useless by his later actions.

Almost as if something else is driving the outrage machine. 🙄

Good morning…. You don’t have to tell me everything the white people outrage machine says . Please start letting them sweat about their falling numbers and talk about things for you/ your region/

One of many fave black & white movie? Earliest surviving feature film with an all-Black cast, Lime Kiln Club Field Day (1913). Made by same studio as Birth of a Nation. Never released for some reason. #FilmSky Mentioned in Legacy Russells's "Black Meme". Excerpt here: youtu.be/U-IdQ9APUHI?...

I had a dream last night that I was trying to sell some jewelry to get out of the country, but kept leaving it unattended. 🙄 No one stole it, but there were also little piles of gold nuggets that OTHER people were just leaving there, unattended. I didn't steal those either, but was tempted to!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Kind of felt to me like it very quickly just became a way to be misogynist, the same way the term “Karen” did. Time for girlboss 2.0.

I don't know how many girls got psyoped into thinking being strong and independent was loser shit and the tradwife life was all fun and games, but any number above zero is too many.

So, the local jeweler just offered me $31.10/oz for some of my sterling scrap. By contrast, the market value for sterling silver is ~$70. That, friends, is what exploitation looks like. Don't worry, there are plenty of people & places that will pay reasonable rates for silver. Fuck these guys.

what does the world do when the truth is too horrible to face so goes on as if it doesn't exist so the evil ends up swallowing it?

This is the type of letter you write and make public when you’ve discovered that the CIA is up to no good and can’t be trusted—and you have no confidence the people in charge care.

Finding out your two options are, "Pain management, or hip replacement," is a justifiable reason for a Chipotle treat, right? 💔🥲
