We asked, and wow you delivered. After reading through thousands of suggestions, we landed on five organizations that reflect the heart of this community. Thanks to the sales of our women’s v-necks, we’re donating $1,000 to each of them:

This is doing more, in real time, to highlight just how stupid the markets are than anything I can ever remember

It's like someone asked AI to summarize the last two weeks of his Truth Social posts and then he read it.

The Constitution, not the president, decides who is a citizen.

It's not just about voting. The "Save America " Act is to force states to turn over their voters' private information to the feds. The gov't plays no role in running elections. Elections are run by the states. This is surely an attempt to purge voters before the 2026 mid-terms and 2028.

WOW. New data just revealed that ICE agents arrested 3,800 Minnesota residents this winter – averaging 33 arrests every day. More than 75% of those arrested had no criminal record. ICE agents are not just going after the worst of the worst, and they are not making communities better off.

G is for Geode. And that's good enough for me.

BREAKING: President Trump has issued an unlawful executive order attempting to severely restrict mail-in voting. The Constitution is clear: Only the states or Congress can change election laws.

The whole thing is equal parts silly and sickening, that's all. And I am fighting it with the same unbending resolution that I fight cancer, and for the same basic reason. I believe in the human species. In beauty, in surprise and passion and complexity. I don't want to see it snuffed out.

1) The whole endeavor is not fueled by the desire to progress humanity, but to profit. This is clear in the implementation. People aiming to make billions cut corners, sacrifice "unimportant" people, and think in quarterly numbers rather than user experiences. We've seen this in *every* industry.

Love and Support to all Trans and NB folks today and every day

RFK Jr. did not come up with idea that diet is important to health. This has been promoted for decades, including, famously, by Michelle Obama. In fact, he doesn’t even believe it himself. If he did he’d be busy making sure kids in the U.S. had enough to eat, instead of cutting food benefits.

“Sex testing has switched from genitals to genes to testosterone levels, and now back to genes. While the stated goal for these policies was to uncover males pretending to be female, they have never found any. Instead, they identified and excluded intersex women.” Sex testing in sport harms women.

The call is coming from inside the house.

They should call me. I can tell them. Our military is led by a street gang and every thug in the military has been enabled to be his worse self, exactly like everyone at the top of the regime. Military discipline can only suffer when the leaders are unaccountable.

"attorneys for Adkins' father allege that he fell from the wheelchair because it lacked safety straps, which which resulted in him landing face-first to the ground after an assistant pushed him up the ramp to the plane's door"

So glad I read this The quotes from @anatosaurus.bsky.social and Arendt distill why we need to push forward and refuse appeasement of this inhumane administration

thedemocraticcoalition They robbed us blind and told us that our neighbors were the enemy. All that culture war garbage was a diversion to distract us from the largest wealth transfer in history.

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

I’m a progressive, but if you’re a progressive candidate who had a Nazi tattoo and didn’t remove it until you got called out, and you pushed racist stereotypes about Black folks’ tipping habits, I’m not riding with you. In fact, I’m wondering what else there is. Those are signs of something bigger.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If you are in Congress & you cannot stand up to the president, you’ve lied to the people who voted for you. You simply do not belong in Congress.
