The question for our current times: How many children in the Omelas pit do you think is TOO many?

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Wild chain of events: An artist on FB asked who the subject of a painting was--she'd painted from a photo. A friend alerted me. I was able to tell Shannon Burch that her painting of a woman protesting at Broadview ICE... was me. Honored, to say the least. Abolish ICE www.instagram.com/p/De48EQUGYSF/

Got the damage for my cat's $8,000 hairball. Hit my annual max on her insurance, so my portion is...... $2,489. If anyone wants to send me five bucks I won't say no venmo.com/u/SusanRinku...

Wow. Liberty Biberty just released a statement backing Vivek Ramaswamy. Just wow.

look i support women having the sole right to hold elected office as long as men gain an equivalent unique civil right (the freedom to call each other "big guy" and "my man")

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Giving these idiot machines the ability to send humans emails should be a capital crime

1. BREAKING: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration illegally fired Maurene Comey, the veteran federal prosecutor and daughter of former FBI Director James Comey.

So, I've noticed this thing happening in entertainment recently where a character involved in the fossil fuel industry whines that everyone is mad at them just for meeting their energy demands

Voters care about Trump family corruption—

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Fun fact: KABOOM (the org from Parks and Rec that builds playgrounds) is REAL and we are actually partnering with them this week!!!! Help us build a playground in Evanston this Thursday! KAPOW!! 💥 volunteer.kaboom.org/opportunity/...

Vivek Ramaswamy's wife: Apparently, Vivek does not support women. Apparently, he is pro-child abuse. Apparently, he doesn't respect doctors.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

Aw, damn. What a truly kind man… RIP, Walter. ❤️🖖🏼

Congratulations to the games industry. Your guy is #1!! Thanks for teaching him there is no line he can cross, no horrible thing he can do that would cause you stand up to him and say no more. You are all pro-musk to the end! We live in his America and thank you all for empowering him*

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Whenever anyone says, "it's been," and then pauses for a split second, my brain immediately starts shouting: "One week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry." Anyone else?

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

I feel like… this is just… the ad?

Students at Cornell put up these signs around campus. This is what I mean by society is who has to change the definition of justice.

Entire industries started as 'middleman' roles that shifted from helpful bridges to gatekeepers prioritizing their own survival over their purpose. It's tragic - 'main characters' create more friction than value. This plan is built to out-architect them - & it's ready now!

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

I know I’m repeating myself but a Harvard BA with no other education is about the most dangerous possible attainment level.
