No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?" "Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

Hey Bernie, quick question, what the fuck is wrong with you? www.newsweek.com/bernie-sande...

Not sure "if Trump could have silenced dissent by shutting down rallies, trampling on your freedoms, he would have" is quite the argument that the speaker thinks it is.

Well, you can look at it this way - Donald Trump now really does have "the biggest crowds," crowds "like no one has ever seen."

i am so owned by the overton window shifting over to some of my personally held positions please, please keep owning me, please I don't know if I'll be able to take it

there's no such thing as "abusing a right" either you have rights or you don't

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder. I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

I can't be on that grindset I'm busy experiencing joy and whimsy ✨

His tone never changed. He was always a staunch protector of free speech he approved of, and opposed to speech he disapproved of. Nothing changed. He was never apolitical about it, and the NYT pretending that was ever even possible as a premise for this piece is laughable bullshit. Embarrassing, NYT

It's not even worth mentioning that these Korean workers are here legally, ICE is just torturing any non-white person they can get their hands on Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The thing to understand about the language policing of the MAGA folks declaring angrily that (accurately) calling Trump a fascist is incitement is that this standard only goes one way. Their violent rhetoric is 'legitimate,' after all, because they don't view you as fully human anyway.

Morgan Gold: I'm not a cat person. Also Morgan Gold:

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

“I really believed when Trump said on the campaign trail-“ But how? How could you possibly have done that? Do you think maybe you should take a break from weighing in on things? Is it possible you’re, I don’t know, a fucking idiot?

Happy Pride month to the girlboyfriends

What message does it send, especially to women, that the democrats will pull out all the stops to rally around a disgraced fucking rapist rather than let a socialist win a single mayoral election? I’m so tired of this shit dude

Proposed @theonion.com article: Serial Killer's 17th Murder a Distraction from previous 16 Murders

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Both sides

ICE deliberately rammed, then teargassed and pointed guns at a car containing an infant and a toddler. They were driving unmarked vehicles and there's no indication that they made any kind of signal to stop before ramming them. Not that it should matter, but everyone in the car was a US citizen.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

Both police and Gavin Newsom with a straight face push conspiracy theories of "professional protesters" who "go from one unrest to the other," while hundreds of literal military troops are being shipped into a city to shoot weapons at working-class people standing up for their neighbors.

Putting up a fierce fight at the opening of the poem is the way to stop the rest of the poem from coming true. The fight for migrants and to stop ICE is the same fight as the fight to protect LGBT people (citizens or not), reproductive autonomy, and everyone else the fascists want to fuck with.

Breaking: Men officially deemed too emotional for positions of power

"Women need to be protected from men" isn't actually feminism it's the basis of patriarchy. Patriarchy offers to "protect women" from its own violence if they submit to patriarchal power and authority, that's just how the system works Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Premodern Gender Historian: Almost all surviving sources about that period are from elite men. I certainly was doing work then but it was not considered important or relevant by the chroniclers or may have been in perishable foods or textiles.
