## I really gotta point something out here I really, really, _really_ gotta point something out here. This “ballroom” Trump Shitstain the First says he’s building is 90,000 square feet, and is going to cost THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Apparently. That’s […] [Original post on solarbird.net]

A high pressure campaign by Washington and conservative activists is gearing up for real now to try to frighten #indiana lawmakers into redistricting. People on twitter are sharing their cell phone numbers and some are probably even getting threats. If you have a lawmaker who is a "no," no […]

@GottaLaff Here is some good news from Indiana.

Indiana University's fascist-leaning leadership fired the student media advisor and zapped the student newspaper because it dared to do actual journalism. The students have published it anyway, here: https://issuu.com/idsnews/docs/indiana_daily_student_homecoming_eedition_-_thursd And please […]

Know your protest rights. Six essentials from the good folks at #aclu #nokings

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite. Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform. Major conservatives joined in. Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up. Subscribe to support my journalism.

AOC: "I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…" #politics #aoc

Trump and MAGA intend to starve their rivals and adversaries of federal funding when/wherever possible. Defenders of democracy will need to push back by starving the federal govt of revenues. This means, eg, NY and CA withholding $$ they send upstream. It also means tax resistance from […]

Over 40 years, we were collectively told to give tax cuts to rich people. And we were told that if we did that, wealth would trickle down and everyone would be better off. Over 40 years, pretty much everything got cut to fund these tax cuts. Schools. Hospitals. Public housing. Public […]

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Something that bothers me a lot is when people conflate "having compassion and understanding for people who hate you" with "letting people who hate you do whatever they want to you". It's possible to have firm boundaries and to take urgent, protective action while also believing that everyone […]

I don't even understand how this is possible #NFL

Hey, MAGA Trump jerks! You say you don’t want political violence? Then STOP preaching political violence! I work for Meta (Facebook), and I see how often your kind calls for harmful, hateful, and cruel actions toward anyone different from you. It’s not the single Black mom raising two […]

RIP Melissa and Mark Hortman, assassinated on June 14, along with their beloved dog Gilbert. Gilbert was trained to be a service dog but was let go from the program because he was “too friendly.” Where was the outrage then? Were was the outrage for the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I don't know if he was touched before the ball was punched out. Is the ball considered part of the player? #NFL #mnf #chibears

So far the surprise of the game for me, this defense live line is way better than I expected. #NFL #mnf #chibears

Does this what a competent offense looks like? This is what I'm used too, lol! #NFL #mnf #chibears

If Baltimore can keep up this kind of play all year long they will be incredibly hard to beat. #NFL | #balvsbuf | #kickoff | #snf

What a catch by DeAndre Hopkins. 😮 #NFL | #BALvsBUF | #Kickoff | #SNF

Ok Dhop I still see you! #NFL | #balvsbuf | #kickoff | #snf

Okay, this explains the two point conversion being taken off. In the NFL, if a receiver goes out of bounds, he can't be the first to touch the ball—even if he comes back in. If he does, it's illegal touching and the play is dead with a loss of down. #NFL | #BALvsBUF | #Kickoff | #SNF

Wow that was fast! #NFL | #balvsbuf | #kickoff | #snf

Every time a football analyst gushes over Aaron Rodgers, an angel slits their wrists. #NFL #balvsbuf #snf #fnia #shutupcollinsworth
