In the words of Sidney Dean, "It's hard work. It's hard god damn work . . . " making sure my outrage for Trump fascist moves that I already know about does not prevent me from generating outrage for *NEW* Trump fascist moves that I learn about today. Trump's gutting the National Forest Service.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Damn, didn't we have this discourse a month ago? The answer is the same as it was then: Democrats AND Republicans harassed and arrested all the protesters and denied them degrees, you stupid fucking assholes.

This is a big misunderstanding. During this ceasefire I’m still allowed to kill you and your allies. You allow us gasoline so our country can continue operating. I am good at diplomacy and widely viewed as the serious one.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

An autistic man who needs to find out everything there is to know about his special interest or his brain will itch until he’s dead has had his life “ruined” by discovering the single most verbose music history podcast in a frankly overcrowded market, it has been rumoured.

If I had to choose a single thought which haunts me most, it’s this. And it has animated me for years. This thing has been growing and metastasizing for almost a decade. And every passing year we’ve grown more hoarse trying to get someone to give a shit.

I want to quote screenshot this whole excellent piece from Marisa, but this especially - we *make* the words, we don't just regurgitate without the feeling, without the things that makes us human.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Supreme Court overtuned a Colorado law banning conversion therapy. It's 8-1 with Ketanji Brown Jackson as the lone dissent. Surprised by the vote, but not the outcome. MAGA is on a march to erradicate the LGBTQ community and the Supreme Court will help them.

Giovanni, to Rappaccini:

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

The mask was never on. It was never on. This is the founding fathers And the call that they made everytime they attacked Black people, and ignored treaties, and came for protesters And everytime it’s treated as new they win This is slavery they’ve ALWAYS said they wanted this

Monsters. And after years of being told children were too delicate and precious to risk wounding with Toni Morrison and rainbows.

Imagine using that $80 billion to feed and house people instead of building a failed virtual world.

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

seeing Chavez’s legacy be swiftly and correctly decimated is a powerful reminder that we as a society could, actually, hold people accountable when credible allegations are made that they are child molesters

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

sure let me just start a feud with the goddamn selkies too. let me just kidnap the king of the faeries and steal from him. let me just throw a rock at a banshee. think about the kind of luck they'll have now! a leprechaun is going to steal their catalytic converter

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

My guess: people don't hate immigrants because they believe they commit crimes. They believe immigrants commit crimes because they hate them.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 11 Advocate While complaining about the costs associated with trans servicemembers transitioning, study shows Pentagon under free-spending SecDef Hegseth spends more on lobster in 1 month than it does on trans servicemembers in 1 year.

kinda weird to do the haha they’re gay for each other when their whole thing was raping girls

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

Eric & Don Jr. are turning the Iran war into a family business. Trump starts war. Trump bans foreign drone rivals (DJI). Sons merge their golf co with Powerus to sell 10k drones/mo to the Pentagon. Their own bank brokers the deal. The ultimate conflict of interest.

“Why do you want to shit on entire swathes of human endeavor and wreck the planet while you’re doing it? Why are you so determined to be awful and amoral? Everything about your priorities is messed up, and you should all be heartily ashamed, abashed and embarrassed.”

Fair play, 'the mad emperor started compulsively buying shoes for his court, guessing their foot size & his courtiers were too scared not to wear them even when they didn't fit' is some classic, on the nose End Days Of The Empire stuff

While there are a bunch of transphobic liberals I think a lot of them are less "we must exterminate the trannies" and more "if we allow/help the conservatives to exterminate these weirdos they will lose them as a weapon against us and we can get back to normal politics" and they're just as dangerous

This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history. Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

"A.I. used to make mistakes like these." Seriously, go nosh on a bag of dicks.

As millions of Americans were losing their SNAP benefits the Pentagon spent: 🔹️$6.9 million worth of lobster tails🦞 🔹️$15.1 million for ribeye steak 🥩 🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀 🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano ✏️ by @newrepublic.com

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

I genuinely believe we’d be in a much different place today. If every single day of any Trump presidency there has been a new impeachment filed with all Democrats voting for at every opportunity. Even if there had never been a republican defection it would frame things far more accurately.

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor." I have, multiple times. I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person. It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.

They say it's dangerous yet they give it to the people deemed more "normal". They say this isn't discrimination, yet people who belong to a demonized group are being treated differently. They say it's not an eradication, yet they already say the group doesn't exist or needs to end alternatingly.

If hormones, or puberty blockers, were so dangerous, nobody would be allowed them. That some people are and that trans kids can even, notionally at least, stay on them if already prescribed, tells you all you need to know.

If 176 children were slaughtered in their classrooms in Dublin, Brussels, Berlin, Tel Aviv or Texas by a foreign adversary, the world would rightfully be at a standstill. - Shona Murray www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/colu... @shonamurray.bsky.social

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.” Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.
