i think this whole thread nails what it means to organize. And obviously it’s not just kids. Every adult friend, coworker, family member or acquaintance works the same way. Only people who have made being an irredeemable piece of shit their entire identity reject it.

@navajothunder.bsky.social, I’m sorry. I know this is isn’t how you wanted us to find out.

Excited for this album. The songs available on Bandcamp are very good.

Was at the ICE HQ, conveniently located next to my kid’s dance studio. Texted my wife about the crowd of ICE agents milling around but fat fingered it enough that it auto corrected to a “coward of ICE agents” I think that’s got to be the collective noun right? A murder of crows A coward of ICE

This may be the hardest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

Minnesota tunes thread. A little on the nose but… youtu.be/1YTJ807KK7I

Terrifying and infuriating but also amazing to watch a hero be born in real time. In less than 15 minutes she goes from trying to coax the woman out of the house to ready to launch those SUVs into the Mississippi with her bare hands.

Atomic Records Milwaukee WI. In middle and high school we made monthly trips from my home town. Eventually moved in across the street. RIP.

This entire weekend

A few years back i was walking with my tween. We approach a group of striking nurses. She got visibly agitated and wanted to turn around. Turns out she’d so internalized the idea of not crossing a picket line, that you shouldn’t even pass one. She was trying to keep her dad from being a rat Good kid

Happy birthday to a fucking real one

My apologies, I should have attributed to the legend @officialmelbrooks.bsky.social

@erikloomis.bsky.social with a subdued but important pep talk going into this weekend and beyond.

I think this is good and right. And to my brother, I love you and things won’t always hurt this much.

Here's the script, folks. It's now or never. Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 Local office numbers: www.congress.gov/members/find... RTs appreciated.

Cory Booker: "I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America." Historians, crawling back into daylight from the depths of despair: "Did somebody somewhere ask for some wretched truth?"

Anybody who actually knows gender nonconforming kids could tell you that they are some of the most courageous people in the world. Let’s hope the rest of us can rise to their standard.

That’s more fucking like it

Smug, beautiful little assholes chose not to spend their youths marinating in clouds of poison now they think they’re better than me?

Name a better qualified doctor than Dr. Oz. I’ve never been a “count the rings” guy but count the…ring.

HEY EVERYBODY!

In reality failure has 1000 fathers and none of them are trans people.

This is for no one, but there’s a project I recently started that I’ve spent 9 years thinking about. Yesterday I threw it in the trash because it seemed trite and pointless in lieu of (gestures broadly). Today, I pulled it back out because these motherfuckers don’t get to make us stop caring. Thanks

Alt text, because millions of voters are disabled and many need help. Don’t do this.

We knocked on record numbers of doors we made record numbers of calls. We sent postcards and texts until the words we wrote made no sense to us. And they didn’t. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE NOTHING MATTERS! AND I WON’T ADMIT DEFEAT UNTIL WE ACTUALLY LOSE! AND THEN WE START THE NEW FIGHT!

MORE OF THIS! We didn’t knock those doors, make those phone calls, send those post cards and texts just crumple when the thing that happens every single time happens and we don’t have the patience to see it through.

You know, it seems incorrect to predict anything in swing states when there’s still people in line in incredibly blue areas who haven’t voted

PHONES! DOORS! FRIENDS! FAMILY! WE ARE SO FUCKING CLOSE! 48 HOURS WE’RE GOING TO DO THIS!

Bidenomics focused on providing direct fiscal transfers to ordinary people & delivering an extremely hot labor market which reallocated more income to labor without disruptive labor actions--& in the process accelerated macroeconomic growth while containing inflation. This is GOAT econ policy

You have chosen…wisely.

The media has been trying to force Harris into a “deplorable” moment since she got in the race. They are going to wring this for every drop they can get.

In the first 100 days the Harris/Walz administration need to establish a WPA for marriage counselors. Could be one of the biggest investments in democracy in generations.

So the closing arguments from the two campaigns comes down to: “we, as a nation, are better than this.” Vs “No, we aren’t.”

THIS! NONE OF US ARE ALONE! WE’RE GONNA DO THIS TOGETHER!

Less than two weeks. You can and should grind this into a fine powder and lace your coffee with it.

We’re not Faygoing back!

Feels like an appropriate time to bust out this gem.

People love to talk about how awful theater kids are, and they’re not wrong, but let’s be real, debate kids have made this country a lot worse

the latest late-term abortion I've ever witnessed is Kamala Harris destroying this 78 yo baby

That was a bold choice for Pelosi’s walk on music. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_HI...

First Second Gentleman and Grade-A-Wife-Guy Doug listening to The Clash in what is clearly his parents’ basement? I am finally truly represented.

I cannot get over how good this entire ep is, but this song is like the scene in Pulp Fiction but instead of adrenaline John Travolta stabs me in the heart with a syringe full of moody punk rock.

check it, here's our video for HEART BEHIND GLASS, there are a couple of you in this one! i'll refrain from identifying you but feel free to identify yourself! this was a blast to make. https://buff.ly/3Mb7GNj

The United Farm Workers is proud to endorse VP Kamala Harris for President. Dime con quien andas, y te digo quien eres. Kamala Harris stood with farm workers as CA’s Attorney General, as US Senator, and as Vice President. There is work to be done, and we’re ready. Sí, se puede!

I’ve been proud to work with President Biden on a record of Democratic successes these past 3.5 years, including historic wins over Big Pharma, and major gains in the fights against wealthy tax cheats and the climate crisis. History will judge well those landmark achievements.

Here's Kamala Harris marching behind my banner at a McDonald's strike in the 108 Las Vegas heat.

idk what the right thing to do is but it's pretty telling to me that the people in politics who I respect like AOC and Bernie are saying "we gotta make sure the leaky rowboat doesn't sink" and the people drilling holes in the bottom are like, Scott Peters
