I only had one and he was a liquor salesman. Merchant Marine during World War II

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

The thing about former Prince Andrew is that he lost his protector. Our Epstein conspirators have not lost theirs.

No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist Oh no 😅

“Maybe that is all any bravery is, a stronger fear of not being brave.” — Audre Lorde, ZAMI

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

I’m going to be very honest and clear. I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.

I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THIS THREAD IT WAS WONDERFUL

Writer's parents own 200 units in the city and have racked up many, many violations.

america boldly answering the question "what if nazi germany and vichy france were the same country"

Sometimes I just randomly shout, “TO WHAT END!”

police unions will fuss and fume about it and probably some pro-cop Dems will waver due to that but we will never have another opportunity like this one without so much more bloodshed. DO IT ALL AND DO IT NOW. if the police unions want to fight to keep QI they’ll be outing themselves as Team Murder

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

its awesome how being right years ago brings absolutely no comfort

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

it's not just that they're supporting out-of-town ICE shock troops against their own community; it's that they're being paid with money you would rather have spent on buses and schools and parks and social services. I feel like in the year of our Mamdani 2026 that's an argument we can push harder

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

It's a good day to reshare this letter to trans teens

The beginning

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Good thread!

Seize cop pensions and give them to the grocery store workers and line cooks that got us through the pandemic

Without downloading new pics, describe your gender

The slightest commerce with ICE must bring about social consequences so severe that no door will ever open for the collaborator again as long as they live.

I want people to understand that in my youth, a youth that happened somewhere between the youth of Epstein, Trump, Maxwell, ex-Prince Andrew, et al & that of their victims, the term "jail bait" was framed as a compliment.

God the number of times I have been through this with the same damned bus of clowns in the senate. They need to go.

seeking a partner by toning down your eccentricities to become more palatable is a coward's approach. you must make yourself worse & stranger to drive away the weak, the romantic version of bequeathing your haunted mansion to whoever dares spend a night within its walls.

We deserve this. youtu.be/1wKMKUjyphY?...

Thank you so much, NYC. Grateful for the new mayor and the community effort that supported him. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, knocked on doors, phone banked, talked to friends, talked to strangers. Thank you so so much.

if Teen Vogue as we know it dies today, I hope its team know in their hearts that they did more to champion democracy and freedom of speech and to mobilize citizens of all ages toward progressive causes than all the pundits at legacy outlets who sneered at the notion of wanting teens to be informed

🙃

If you think we'll forget who the cowards were, think again.

I’m trying so hard 😭🤺

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

Do not buy those cheap ass picture frames from IKEA! Just tape shit to your wall till you can afford real frames

it's me I'm mutual

The plot has been completely lost. It feels parodic at this point. Like someone is trying to force a mass delusion. No thank you.

When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

I have always found this to be true. The best thing I can do to change my mood is go pass out water or something.

please consider donating to save Street Roots. it's so vital to Portland. a newspaper by and for and centering houseless people which provides both a megaphone for their voices and stories, and paid work to help support them. it's the only local election endorsement list I always trust.

Great thread
