I have issues with 7, which gives no slack for those who cannot work; despite "protect the feeble" in 6, I see nothing about *supporting* the young, old, or disabled or giving the fruits of your labour willingly to those in community. A too strict interpretation of 7 could turn the whole thing ugly.

Omg look what I just learned existed The Ten Commandments of Socialist Sunday School

Expect for things to get even moister if we don’t do something about climate change

Grandma: Do you still hate that man? Me: You’re gonna have to be a lot more specific than that.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

This. And IMHO, the only people who worry about white people being in the minority are white people who've been 💩ty to every other race their whole lives.

Merrick Garland left a standing impression that no one powerful will ever be held accountable. Democrats should rectify that by saying, loudly and every hour, that people who act on illegal orders will face punishment by the next DOJ.

Yes! This is what I'm saying slightly differently - women's and girls' pain doesn't matter! (@BeijingPalmer has had the best insight into this that I've seen.)

Woke up to too many new tubes and tunnels in my enclosure now I’m hiding in my bedding for the day

This will be dragged out till the end of Trump's Presidency. Files will not be released during an active investigation. The DOJ will ride this for all it's worth to protect Trump and the other wealthy child raping bastards. www.newsweek.com/jay-clayton-...

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Maybe??!! 🤞🤞

A trial tested nicotinamide riboside (NR), a vitamin B3 derivative, for long COVID. Results were mixed overall, but exploratory analyses showed improvements in fatigue, sleep, mood, and some cognitive tasks after 10 weeks, suggesting some people may benefit from NR.

Huh! Go figure. The chancellor of my college system announced today that one of the professors at my campus was uncomplimentary of Charlie Kirk following his death, which resulted in the chancellor getting 800+ phone calls and e-mails demanding the faculty member's dismissal. The Chancellor: "No."

I finally got my copy of Blakes 7 Series 2 on blu ray today. No more FOMO. Now watching episode 1, Redemption. Yes, with the new effects switched on.

My time is yours... Very good, proceed... Yes... yes, I understand... Yes, fine... Excellent... Yes... Could you be more... specific? You are a true believer. Blessings of the state. Let us be thankful we have an occupation to fill. Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy.

Early in the Jiajing Emperor's reign, there was a cat in the Forbidden City with fine, curly fur that was all slate-grey save for two eyebrows of the purest white, for which the cat was named Frostbrows. (1)

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

Wild to me how many headlines I saw this week celebrating the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting Kim Davis's bid to end marriage equality, when the Texas Supreme Court just decided that state court judges are free to refuse to perform weddings for same-sex couples from here on out

If nothing else they connect us in the present with our ancient past. We are all, no matter when we, or our families, arrived here, part of this island story; from the Younger Dryas to this very moment. If you can't see the poetry in that, that's on you.

Once you've seen the sub-literate gibberish passed along among billionaires, the story of how elites came to exalt Bari Weiss, Thomas Chatterton Williams, and other stylists of 4th-grade book report prose snaps into place.

Indiana: People having fun that doesn't involve sports or Jesus? BAN IT. BAN IT AT ONCE.

Dean made one exuberant yelling noise and the entire political media declared him a dead man walking. NPR's Talk of the Nation had a weekly political segment and the introduction included the Dean Scream until the show ended in 2013. But our Fourth Estate decided fucking kids is no big deal.

I mean if you're still reading The New York Times at this point you're reading the paper that quietly shielded the largest pedophile conspiracy of our time.

i know we won't, but we have got to understand that a keystone of the republican project is to both categorize whole classes of people as criminal to justify locking them up, or to make them so broken and desperate that lawbreaking is all but certain to happen.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

"One of the features of living under chaotic authoritarianism is that the pressures are what I think of as “fractal" ... The same mix of incompetence, malice and corruption impact our lives at the smallest level — like access to the blueberries my son eats — and at the biggest — killing people."

I remind you that Robert Acost knew all of this shit and covered it up. Jeff Sessions knew all of this shit and covered it up. Bill Barr knew all of this shit and covered it up. Merrick Garland knew all of this shit and covered it up. Pam Bondi knew all of this shit and covered it up.

If there was suddenly a giant shark in every PSA video, would that improve the reach of our messaging?

Belmont Cragin United has been hosting “Whistlemania” events at restaurants where people pack whistles, community resource guides + zines on how to gather a crowd when ICE is nearby. Hundreds attended events all over Chicago’s West Side, packing over 17,000 kits www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

I don’t know at this point if there is enough evident to say “the New York Times, institutionally, was a co-conspirator with Epstein” but it’s basically beyond doubt at this point that at least one employee of the paper were co-conspirators and used their position at the paper to help affect that

I don't often talk about having been a victim of sexual assault in my childhood and adolescence, but I will say now that everything I've been through in trying to rebuild my sense of self and become a functioning adult is burning in my chest with raw fury at seeing the stupid cruelty of these people

charter schools are a pernicious leech on communities & the common good

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough. There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

“I think the reason we don’t make those distinctions is because it’s really hard to explain the difference without sounding like a pedophile.” youtu.be/nu6C2KL_S9o?...

This Trump/Epstein stuff is so typical of a modern political "scandal," in that ... we know he did it. He knows he did it. Everyone knows he did it & everyone knows that everyone knows he did it. There is zero "did he do it?" involved here. The whole thing is about ... what, exactly?

“In retrospect, Sandy Hook marked the end of the U.S. gun control debate ... Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.” Reports @rollingstone.com

I’m going to think about watching this moment unfold in real time for a long time. for all the horrors coming out of Chicago and its metro area, the principled courage of everyday people, in the face of such intimidation, never ceases to astonish. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/12/k...

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I cannot believe in 2025 that people are still acting like "Democrats will go down for this too" has any meaning to anyone. Uhhhhhhhhh, yes? Good? Let's fucking go?

always remember:

Imagine _Epstein_ saying this about someone. Jesus.

My takeaway from Epstein document dump was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018/early 2019 was increasingly telling people he had dirt on Trump and Trump knew everything about child sex ring. To protect Trump's re-election campaign, Trump's DOJ charged Epstein in July 2019. Then Epstein committed "suicide."

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

There is always another basement in hell.

One of the coolest things about #TeslaTakedown is that it's not just about "sending a message." It's about attaching a stigma to driving a certain make of car, which is the one source of profit for a financial bubble that props up the most powerful racist alive. It's protest as direct action.

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles RATING: FALSE. This society is in no way a secret

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires
