I always find it funny when people say "this era will be judged harshly in history books". Like, if we've learned anything from recent world events, it's that nobody reads history books.

It was great seeing Neil DeGrasse Tyson in Seattle tonight, in front of an enthusiastic and probably sold out crowd at the Paramount. He is very funny and entertaining as well as being a great science communicator.

Big thank you to The Boss for this powerful and moving song. Let's make it our resistance anthem!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If a global south country was shooting its citizens in the face and kidnapping the leaders of neighbouring countries and threatening to invade a European country, the US would take military action against it. Looks like it's time for the US to take military action against itself.

I mean, he’s the vector by which conservative reactionaries are getting a lot of what they want done - smashing government to pieces so private companies can profit, gutting regulations, destroying the lives of brown and black people, etc. They can live with him being awful and embarrassing

Sad to hear about the death of reggae great Jimmy Cliff at age 81. I discovered his music in high school and have loved it ever since. My first real concert was seeing him and Peter Tosh, and I saw him twice more after that. His music had a lot of joy and messages of love and unity....

Today a sitting president committed stochastic terrorism by inciting his violent supporters to attack members of Congress because they said that soldiers should follow the law and the Constitution. That would have been unthinkable 20 years ago, but here we are....

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

During recess, Congressional Dems need to take action. No-knock systemwide ICE camp audit. Multiple members at each site, wearing body cameras, with photo drones; demand access, census, interviews. Livestream everything. Blitz the news and run ads in all red districts. Hit them before the buildup.

Cosplay Puppy Killer delaying FEMA search and rescue teams helping the Texas flood victims while she did an online poll about which painting to use for her official portrait is some next-level Marie Antoinette shit.

The white victimhood from right wingers is truly pathetic.

first they came for the white South Africans, and I didn't speak out— because no one is coming for the white South Africans, you deranged paranoid lunatics. what the fuck is wrong with you

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.
