The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

when women come forward to detail disturbing behavior by a senate candidate, it is the job of journalists to report it out. it is not a hit job.

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

I was 9 when the Iranian revolution started, living in a university community with Iranian students who I remember watching the news with my mother in fear and hope of both the revolution and the American response. Sartrapi was my age living through it. Her work and voice put much into perspective.

Oh, bloody hell. Far too young. And it was such a intelligent, influential, and painfully honest book.

I’m 100 pages into The Eye of the World. Only 570 to go. No counting the other umpteen volumes in the series? I might just stick to this one volume.

I got a "why does everything have to be about sex" comment on my comic, which has no sex, so I was confused until I realized what they meant was "why does your comic have to be about queer people?" And the answer is "to make you, specifically, uncomfortable."

We live in a white supremacist country under the rule of a white supremacist Supreme Court and President.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Marilyn Monroe died before I was born, so in my experience, she has always been dead. The 100th anniversary of her birth reminds me that, had she gotten the mental health care she needed (and with a little luck after that), she could still be with us.

It’s always the people you least expect.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…

I screen capped this still from a BBC report to ask: anyone recognize the tattoo? How likely white supremacist? The upside down black American flag (not Black American, big difference) suggests fascist affiliations. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Bob Dylan turns 85 today. 60 years ago he was finishing up Blonde on Blonde and was about to play Albert Hall, the infamous “Judas” concert.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

The problem with Maureen Galindo is that this "Israel controls our government" talk is, frankly, genocide apologia. Is Israel why we're starving Cuba? Why we kidnapped the president of Venezuela? Why the US is escalating genocide against trans people?

Having gutted the Voting Rights Act, the next target is the Civil Rights Act.

Credit where credit is due: The NYT homepage has come around to recognizing the enormity of this story. The articles are still full of weasel words, but it's progress!

From Iran to Cuba, U.S. imperialism is worsening human suffering.    As a result of Trump and Rubio's sanctions, Cuba’s power grid is collapsing- leaving families in darkness and without essential services. Now, the administration is threatening military action.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The most important thing to understand about the NY Times is that it is the official newsletter of the East Coast oligarchy and they cover stories like this while ignoring faculty in Red States being fired for social media posts because they think that public schools are for inferior human beings.

Kinda weird no one's calling this World War Trump. He's just exploding shit all throughout the world with no care for second order effects. It really is just him vs. everybody, and you'll only be spared if you seed intimidating shirtless AI pictures of your own country's dictator onto TruthSocial.

The Macca documentary plays the opening riff of Zeppelin’s “The Lemon Song” and I’m like if they had just used different lyrics no one would have sued them. Musically it sounds nothing like “Killing Floor.” You could still keep the lemon bit.

Every time I see a pic or some film of Bowie or George smoking, I get a little bummed out.

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

“It’s an absurd situation. They’re just straight-up lying about not knowing Memphis is majority Black… They know exactly what they’re doing.” Kanew on the racist lie at the core of the Republican push to strip Memphis of representation.

The cut to SSI for families who also rely on SNAP was not the Social Security Administration’s idea, even though that agency runs the SSI program. Instead, it was initiated by top White House and DOGE officials last year, ProPublica has learned.
