I cannot emphasize enough how unmodified this screenshot is

Even from what definitely isn't a dissociative state induced by the collapsing empire all around us, this is genuinely shocking. But so was the demolition of the East Wing of the White House; something I thought I had zero attachment to www.propublica.org/article/andr...

Orangeface was not what I had on my 2025 bingo card, and at this point I think I should rip the damn thing up.

Shortly after being elected New York City's first Muslim and South Asian mayor, Zohran Mamdani gave a speech in neighboring Brooklyn heavy on the biography on which he campaigned and the homages he has long given to his roots. https://cnn.it/4nCtq4U

📌 Can't stop replaying this 😜 Oh she so went there 🤭🤣🐥

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

Don't panic; organize!

TRIGGER WARNING EXTREME VIOLENCE. Best part of this video is the beginning watching ICE looking down at the people realizings it dumb for them to be there, THANKS PORTLAND!!!

There's always next year

Latest 🎯🧵 by Zdenek Vrozina on what we already know about the damage Covid does... "COVID was never just a respiratory virus - it’s a systemic one. A pathogen that rewires immunity, disrupts mitochondria, and infiltrates the nervous system..." Full 🧵 threadreaderapp.com/thread/19748...

I wish our leaders understood that you can't use logic to win against a fascist. Fascism is inherently illogical and in order to believe Trump, you have to already be disconnected from reality The distortion of what is true is the entire point. Enemy within, indeed

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

When they say "enemy within" that's fascism.

It's gratifying to see people around the world standing up and fighting to stop the senseless violence in Gaza

My computer is writing code for me while I cook dinner. This is the kind of work-life balance I can get behind.

I prefer presidents who don't confuse causation with correlation

Students of history will recall that Eisner helped get us into this mess. Eisner's company-first policies at Disney helped normalize the idea that companies owed their workers nothing beyond a paycheck. CEOs are not coming to save us.

We must also paint a picture of the world we want to inhabit. It's not enough to defeat this new iteration of hatred. We have to know what comes next. And that conversation has to start with real equality and justice for all.

The Democrats love power, not democracy, so of course they aren't going to let the Republicans have the fascism all to themselves

And then you continue to be at risk if there's too much covid around you once the vaccine has fully activated because the vaccines we have, while miraculous, are not sterlizing and do not stop transmission chains. People can and do contract covid while up to date on their shots. Mask up. 😷

Hot take: measures taken to save lives don't have to be cost effective. Human life is of immeasurable value

Shocker

We're abandoning all vaccines because...why?

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

I don’t mourn Charlie Kirk much, though I do feel empathy for those who cared for him. But I am grievously concerned for what is going to happen to this country next, because political violence never rests easy on the marginalized.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

Charlie Kirk, right-wing influencer, was fatally shot today at a campus event in Utah. I wonder if he would have changed his rhetoric if he had known the end that awaited him. We'll never know.

Breaking News: There are Russian drones that have been shot down in Poland's airspace. Polish, Italian, Dutch, NATO tankers and fighter jets are now in the skies above Poland. I’m sure Donald Trump is going to give Putin another two weeks to explain his latest incursion into allied territory.

All they're doing is giving these fascists room to spew their lies

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That Fundamental Interests Of United States Of America Would Be Irreparably Harmed If It Race-Based Harassment And Detention By Masked Thugs Were Even Temporarily Halted

“Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America.”

In the years ahead, we will see why it's often said that regulations are written in blood

It's covid, dummies

Claiming that routine immunization requirements for school are an issue of parental rights dehumanizes children. Kids have intrinsic rights just as anyone, and parents are obligated to provide the best care possible for them. That includes providing them with indicated medical interventions.

If you look at their actions, the goal of the Trump Administration is to create a white ethnostate where white Americans have more rights than anyone else. These kinds of moves are intentional and designed to encourage all non-white immigrants to leave

I told CBC News about the public health threat presented by Florida’s new policy to end vaccine mandates. As fewer people get vaccinated, more people will get sick. More people will die. It is un-American to deny people freedom from disease. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

But also definitely because of Covid because it's still here

I wrapped up Justified: City Primeval this morning. I don't know why it was poorly received; it is objectively better than the original. The writing is strong. The story is well-told. And this time around, Black characters are treated as first-class narrative citizens. Worth a watch.

The cruelty is, in fact, the point.

Have more children they say so they can die of preventable disease before age 5. And if they make it past age 5, they can be murdered at school. How about no.

So it turns out that Justified: City Primeval is a show, not a movie. I did a very brief search and it sounds like The Internet didn't care for this new version. It's too soon to know how I feel about it, but they are doing a better job (so far!) handling race this time around.

No shit, sherlock

Now this is how you do satire

So things could be better
