man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

The only way to end gerrymandering is to remove the ability to do it from lawmakers. The only places that are attempting to do that are blue states. This creates even more incentive for bad actors in red states to keep it up. National redistricting by population, regardless of state lines.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

I dunno, Bari, I'm guessing you will, since your wife was good friends with the pedophile, but me, personally, my position is, gross, these people should go away.

YOU - Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at? SHIVERS - HAVE A BROTHER IN THE CUT. WHERE THE WOOD AT?

folks who are saying "this is serious" might think about what the countermoves to it might be- if you're upset about it, what can be done? like if we know this is part of their plan nine months out, there are specific ways to organize against it and let's start talking about those

"I'm a moron, and you can too." We don't need ICE. We don't need a militarized CBP. We don't need reforms, we need to abolish them.

We got one of these things for the office and every time the newest headline alarms me anew.

am I the only person who didn't know this hilarious tune www.youtube.com/watch?v=akLN...

Wow, it's amazing, the Republican party has forgotten how counting works.

Nick says they got it locked up. Make sure you stay focused on the "guys who lie about stuff" demo to solidify the blowout, GOP.

Someone please hit the big button that says "unrelease." Sam Neil, hot at whatever age. Laura Dern, smoke show at every age. And let us not even deign to bring up Jeff Goldblum. Why de-age them? What is wrong with you?

Defund DHS. Abolish ICE. The end.

Dissent is a social activity. However, it must be privately effective and STRATEGICALLY public! Don't go brunch-posting about your resistance! If you need people to know, remember that the only people who need to know are already seeing you.

Anyone who builds a new app to track you and your dissent is your enemy.

Big ups to @devononearth.bsky.social who should get an award for best keeping the hosts out of trouble using editing in podcasting for this one... Great ep, and I'm 20 mins in. youtu.be/za2BCfdN6BM?...

I am a flaming hydra subscriber and you can too

Note the complete absence of trans people and drag queens from the files. No Hillary, no Huma. Meanwhile QAnon messiah Trump was seemingly Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend.

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

my gf told me not to order pizza

helped facilitate a mayday strong training today at the firefighters union hall, which the firefighters have kitted out with red flame lighting and a fully stocked and functional bar with a 50s diner aesthetic. truly felt like a union hall decorated by and for 12 year old boys. unionized dudes rock

Melania 2: Loomer

none of these people ever cared about little girls and they still don’t and if they did they would protect trans girls too

EGG HEAD - “Skibadee, skibadanger! I am the rearranger!”

Thank God for Bill, boo Senators.

Let me help you out, man

Don't cross the picket line! Solidarity with the workers forever!

Panic! At the phrenology accusations Okay I will see myself out

@schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social would fail a basic org sociology course, which is a problem for all of us, not to mention the country. Here's the deal: 1. ICE has a known organizational culture 2. That culture centers on violence, racism, personalistic loyalty, & impunity 1/

This is not even close to being anywhere near good enough. We must “encourage” them to coalesce around abolish ICE and defund DHS.

As president, I will fix this by making them the Immigration and Customs Encouragement division, and also firing all of these people and hiring qualified immigrant social workers who will love their jobs.

An all timer.

Don't vote for anything until the president resigns. It's their government, they can figure out how to run it.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

it's always a good day to watch The Thing (1982) but a snow day is especially good

If you think this is "professional-grade logistics" you're a) a pompous wanker, b) a hapless dipshit who gets everything practical done for him (probably by women), c) a puppet of rich astroturf-funders, unable to conceptualise anything else, & d) pitifully cynical about the mass of humanity.

because they don’t deserve our fear

"they don't deserve our fear" is a profound thing to say imo & I'm grateful for it distrust yes caution yes. fear God maybe (proverbs 9:10 though I have long-winded thoughts about the fear of God). these men terrorizing citizens may be a lot of things but they don't know the first thing about God

Pope Leo, welcome to the Jihad, here's your button.

If your reaction to reading this is "oh he'll never do that" I think you're missing the point

This must feel for them like going to Disney does for Disney adults.

Ah crap my perceived in-group status didn't shield me from the inevitable violence of fascism. I had been really counting on that. That was my load-bearing identity.
