"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday. Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

In Trump's "anti Antifa" presser, we were told both that Antifa has roots in Weimar Germany and that Kristi Noem has arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa, so I can only conclude that Antifa was founded by a vampire

so um ... fatshaming is still bad? wtf is happening in my feed rn

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

That she's cool as fuck?

I'm being told he drowned in the toilet. He was drinking from the toilet like usual but something went wrong. CPR was not administered because everyone thought it was too gross

DURING FAT BEAR WEEK NO LESS

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

hakeem it’s a kitchen table issue if they’re deploying troops to the fucking house

"Everything's computer...everybody transgender...nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen" - transhumanist iconoclast Donald J Trump

the trauma of processing what me and my friends did to et

you have to admit "can you make a documentary about a contemporary subject that never directly quotes anything he ever said or did" is kind of an interesting challenge from an artistic perspective

Are those betting websites putting out odds on whether the regime will try to make January 6th a national holiday?

i do not think americans want to live in a culture where jimmy kimmel is considered too edgy for television

*As a person* it’s totally reasonable to promote interpersonal kindness and understanding. *As a professional journalist* however, it is irresponsible not to tell your massive audience the basic reality of American politics: The right has dangerously radicalized far more than the left.

Go birds fuck ice free Palestine go birds fuck ICE free palestine

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

i hope that, knowing what he know now, he feels like a fucking fool.

Also: these aren't "Republican States". They're voter suppression states. Also, the DNC doesn't give a fuck about the South so they spend no money here unless it's to primary their own party. All of this shit is manufactured and fixable.

This frame has potential.

at least I know Dave Foley has my back

Preview of the announcement:

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

Who coined the name “Great Khan of the Plains”? Because as political nicknames go, that slaps.

Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries. Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross. Protect trans folks.

“‘Oh look, it's couch-fucker,’ one person shouted in a video shared on social media. Another added, ‘You gonna fuck a couch, buddy?’ As the heckling escalated, chants of ‘Go fuck a couch, JD Vance!’ and ‘pussy boy’ filled the busy train station.” www.complex.com/life/a/marke...

Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news

its very rude to chase someone who gave you a free sandwich

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Speaking as a DC resident: statehood now. It is absurd that Trump can do this in our city.

Some union, please make this demand at the next contract bargaining!

read theory

I was just looking at my clearsky wondering how I wound up on someone's block list of 'angry political posters' when I remembered that my profile picture is me performing at a drag show, holding a large trans pride flag that says 'No one's gonna take me alive.'

Once again, Eddington was a documentary

The reason you don't give ground on trans rights - beyond the simple morality of it being wrong to do so - is because you don't give ground on rights period, and if you're willing to let it slide for one marginalized group it means everyone else is just a matter of price

HAPPENING NOW: a group of New York rabbis are being arrested at a protest outside the Israeli consulate calling for bringing food into Gaza, an end to the war, and return of all hostages @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social

I wish it wasn’t considered controversial to say that people should not be starved to death. I wish it wasn’t controversial to say that is unacceptable for all of humanity.

SOMEONE GIVE CONNER O’MALLEY 50 MILLION DOLLARS

The crew of the #handala are being kidnapped as we speak. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social was delivering baby formula and food to #gaza @cnn.com @msnbc.com @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com

Bret Stephens (and all the editors over there for that matter) has seen the same footage from Gaza that you and I have seen—skeletal babies and grown men collapsing from hunger and gaunt corpses. And he still writes that it’s not a genocide. And the NYT still publishes it.
