When I find myself fretting about aging, I try to remember how sad I am that I never got a chance to see the signs of age on my little brother's face. I lost him 7 years ago, and I wish with my whole heart that he could've lived enough life to have wrinkles and creaking bones. I miss him bitterly.

The 3 genders

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

I need to scream into the void: what he said about that detrans kid Sage last night is exactly what all of these twats think about trans people. They believe in social contagion because they do not think being trans is real. They believe that biology = gender, and going against that is pure delusion

Also the zoom in on Sarah McBride's face when Trump was saying the unhinged anti-trans lies last night was... something

I really hope that everyone who has wondered how people can like Donald Trump now realize that it's because they are shitty people who are just fucking like him and would act exactly like him if they had the money and could get away with it

Getting ahead of this now: there is no way in hell I am voting for Gavin Newsom. "But Trump!" "But Vance!" is not enough to get me to throw support behind a man whose idea of a photo op is destroying every possession of a group of homeless people.

In 2023, an Oregon program began providing 120 homeless youth with $1,000 every month. Two years later, 94% of participants reported they were housed. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Wondering how many barbz are going to follow Nicki to the far right is making my brain hurt

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Skin of Omission

so far tonight bad bunny has sung more reggaeton songs than the patriots and seahawks combined

When your republican governor is worried about funding schools and social programs, maybe you're being a bit unhinged, idiots share.google/q1xpU51v026s...

Ah haha we are absolutely speed running achieving third world country status

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Was looking for something that accurately summed up how I feel about Catherine O'Hara's death, and I think this is it

The state of american politics is that one major party wants to kill you while the other simply wants you to die

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Literally what a 12-year-old kid would write if they were looking for a writer. You gotta be the BESTEST writer and win ALL THE AWARDS and tell the MOST AMAZING STORIES and everyone has to LOVE you because you're gonna make them love ME TOO

I was so proud to see how many people in my city took to the streets for the general strike today. Things may be bad, but people are showing the fuck up and looking out for each other

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

I still, for complicated and not necessarily great reasons, speak to mine. Amongst all of my fury and sadness today simmers the rage that these people who feign love and respect for me would, if they had not birthed me, absolutely cheer on my bleeding out in the street if ICE shot me for protesting

Most underrated post of the day

Rest in Power, Michael Parenti and Alex Pretti

the regime considers all resistance violent resistance. you chanting while holding a sign and carefully remaining on the sidewalk is as worthy of the death penalty to them as someone throwing a Molotov.

Alex Jones with the funniest possible response to this.

FBI agent resigns after Good civil rights investigation shut down. "She was then ordered to reclassify it as an investigation into an assault on the officer.... [the DoJ's] Todd Blanche [told] Fox News Sunday... the shooting did not warrant a federal investigation." www.kare11.com/article/news...

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

I could write an entire goddamn dissertation on how the world's (current) largest empire's leader telling Davos that he's going after Somalian people because a. They're all thieves and b. they have higher IQs than he thought is fascism

I just thought everyone should see this

While the right-wingers who love the cruelty, who yearn for immigrant children's blood, scare me more, it is the ones both right and center who simply refuse to accept the reality in front of their faces who rattle me. There are more of them, and they are the scaffolding on which the monsters stand

I'm sure it's for fine and good reasons!!

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else

It’s the ‘60 Minutes’ segment Bari Weiss reportedly didn’t want you to see. The story on CECOT, which had previously been pulled for ‘additional reporting,’ finally aired on Sunday night.

Y'all see what time it is?

It’s crazy how it’s suddenly “wow we live in a police state” when it happens to white people

I salute the hero Ford worker who called Trump a pdf file protector today

Even in Captain Planet the writers room would be like ok tone it back

When you’re doom posting about how everything is inevitable and no one can stop them, you’re doing their work for them. Stop that

Hi it's me, ruiner of your day www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/...

Tbh one of the weirdest things about this admin is not everyone on the right cooing over how gorgeous the emperor's new clothes are, it's that the emperor meanwhile is constantly out there like "clothes? Why would the greatest dude in the world bother wearing clothes?" while smirking punchably

"We'll run it properly. We'll run it professionally. We'll have the greatest oil companies in the world go in and invest billions and billions of dollars and take out money, use that money in Venezuela, and the biggest beneficiary are going to be the people of Venezuela," Trump said.
