Well don't I feel stupid

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

Wrote about The Heritage Foundation's plan to weaponize the FBI against transgender people's existence, which includes banning me from saying that's what they're doing

I just sent this out. The Jewish people have moral frameworks for this moment. It is a choice not to heed them. Please let us meet this moment, let us see the shattered Temple around us, right now, and our responsibility to it.

"voters are why I lost" is the funniest possible thing for a politician to say.

"This narrative of human suffering, set in 2025, is filled with tears and resilience. It is a story of women. It is our story. It could very well be your story too." A stunning essay from Rümeysa Öztürk on the 45 days she spent in an ICE detention center just for speaking her mind

Honest question - is there a *single* Times article where they advance/defend the perspective of socialist young people the same way they routinely advocate for the right? I am genuinely curious.

my regular reminder that many of the wealthiest and most powerful people in this country very plainly believe in eugenics

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

It’s also what held me back for a while from jumping into this whole space. Once you realize that you can adjust as you go, you stop trying to perfect your technique up front and just try things.

These people are… evil. In a self-conscious, gloating way that we don’t like to imagine exists outside comic books or history’s darkest chapters.

ya'll, i say this with love: don't get too doom-and-gloom, okay? Native people are still here. we. are. still. here. even after everything we've been through. if we're still here, you will be too. 🤍 have faith.

Tiny Chef was too good for this world

Ask yourself why Rolling Stone is the only outlet performing this obvious public service.

Do you hear yourself? "This word has a specific connotation to me (& other Jews), so he needs to change how HE, a Muslim, thinks and engages with an Arabic word that has multiple shades of meaning, so that it suits the least comfortable among us," even as other NYC Muslims are literally jailed

Glad to see Van Hollen choosing to oppose racism. More Democrats should try it!

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

We've gotta bloody the likes of Gillibrand, Gillen, Suozzi, Goldman nice and early over their Islamophobic Zohran bullshit and it's gotta leave a mark. The fash is going to be beyond vile during this race, and squishes on the blue side of the aisle have to learn what happens to traitors

Primary every one of them.

YELLING STILL WORKS

thanks to Daniel for posting the transcript, which I had been looking for all over and yeah, it is ridiculous to twist this into whatever people have been twisting it into

An important addendum to a recent episode of If Books Could Kill (attn: @michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social ) www.instagram.com/reel/DK9rt12...

We could avoid all these annoying debates about whether Fahrenheit or Celsius is better if we just abolished numbers like I've been arguing for for some indeterminate amount of years

When I was a newborn I saved up and bought my own basket. We all did. This generation just wants a handout

The night this article was published, the most explicitly pro-trans candidate in NYC history pulled insanely huge numbers across the board and is set to win the Mayor race. Supporting trans kids is just good politics. Fighting fascism is good politics. Capitulation sucks--Cuomo was anti-trans!

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

I donated $1k + fees. Never again means never again for anyone. No matter how little or how much, give what you can!

one more reason Israel is an apartheid state.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Fuck. Let's just lock Donald Trump and Ali Khamenei in a cage and let them fight it out.

Just as I don’t want to be judged according to the current US administration, we shouldn’t judge Iranians by their government. We should absolutely not bomb Iran or start a war with them.

Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride. I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

It's not a distraction FROM removing healthcare, it's a genocidal policy that ALSO lays the groundwork for broader healthcare restrictions. The eradication of trans people is a goal in and of itself, and it is also part of a broader effort to shrink what (& who) is acceptable in society.

Little known fact: the original LLM was developed back in the 90's by a tiny but innovative Canadian team www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vgo...

Not sure how to choose between Marx Brothers, Beyond the Fringe, Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

I've said this before, but so-called ideological diversity only runs rightward, and it never means arguing about economics or something. I already know the conservative position on, for instance, my existence. I'm not going to snap out of being trans because seventeen more people call me a man.

I think that the MSM is terrified of being targeted by the Right. It shows in their coverage. They aren't scared of the Lefts and that too shows in their coverage.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible
