"Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars, LOTR, or Marvel."

One of the fundamental failures of Schumer's leadership is that he signalled to Republicans that the shutdown was performative long before they caved. They got nothing because they signalled that getting nothing was an acceptable outcome.

He's this stupid because he has never once needed to be any smarter than this. This is the level of intellect which has allowed him to succeed all throughout his life and it has never been necessary to challenge or expand his thinking in any way.

America right now is an airplane that the crew is actively trying to dismantle mid-flight while at least half the passengers are sitting bare-knuckled just hoping we somehow eke out a survivable landing. (The other half are, inexplicably, rooting for the dismantling.)

Week #4 on the New York Times Best Seller List!

Worse than deplorable.

Donald Trump has the opportunity to do the funniest thing...

I agree that ANYONE, including celebrities, should stop hiding behind the "apolitical" "safe" feeds and use their massive influence to SAVE DEMOCRACY. There are no excuses. Zero. Everyone who's pro-democracy should be vocal.

Republicans always thought they would be the scrappy freedom fighters from Red Dawn when the emergency came, but now that it's here, they have become the sycophantic studio audience from Running Man.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.

Trump is telling us his plan for 2026. Those of us who care about free and fair elections must take him seriously and literally. We cannot simply bring guns to a gun fight. We need to bring missiles.

Adults don't "have sex" with minors. Adults rape children. We need to stop referring to this particular crime as "sex". It's patriarchal, and it makes it easier to blame survivors. I will die on this hill.

I did an outdoor yoga class in a minneapolis park the other day. And my husband is, right now, playing softball in a Minneapolis park. My son is, right now, standing on dock fishing for northern pike, also in a Minneapolis park. Stephen Miller doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

Sometimes I get the feeling that the edge lords just want to convince us that they really are this cruel and stupid.

Dear Mom & Dad, When I grew up I used to wanna be just like you. Not anymore. I still love you but I cannot condone you joining that cult #Freedom #FreeSpeech #NoKings #StopICE #NoWar #Diversity #WomensRights

The most corrupt Supreme Court in history

I've got a joke about Marie Curie, but it's radioactive.

Once again, time to kick the dust off this 2017 cartoon.

Hey-Hey! Ho-Ho! Donald Trump has got to go!!!!

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

I think we need @romanmars.bsky.social to give us a lecture on protest sign design along the lines of his flag design TED Talk. youtu.be/pnv5iKB2hl4?...

Gnight, all. We ride at dawn. Let’s make tomorrow one for the history books.

The irony of the arguments against giving the vote to freed slaves after the Civil War describing today's Republicans to a T: 1/2

This….this can’t be real. Right?

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

Fascist

ICE crossed a line in LA

Happy Edie Windsor (T.A.C.O Tuesdays 😉) day on the Gay of the Day! Thank you for everything, Edie! We miss you! #lgbtqia #lgbt #gay #history #pride #pridemonth

"unilaterally gutted US soft power" This will take decades to recover from, if we ever do.

The funniest thing about Trump opining about trophy wives is we’ve seen the Mar-a-Lago clientele. It’s like a zookeeper bad mouthing mammals. Who is also married to a giraffe.

"Incompetence was not necessarily a hindrance to high office in the Soviet state" This feels very familiar....

Counting down to MAGA seizing on this as a threat to Dear Leader in 3..2...

I get unreasonably upset when the book is available as an audiobook but the library has only added the ebook to their collection, which is to say mildly annoyed.

All these suckers taking corporate security training while having a working knowledge of recent events in the DOJ and of Trump's legal troubles before the election getting instant headaches:

I'd like to see more people point out that every time the Trump Administration complains about leaks—or we learn that another Trump department has threatened employees over leaks—the stakes aren't about leaks at all. The Trump Administration is scared that media will find out what it's really doing.
