Remember everyone who is out there defending cold-blooded murder. They’ve shown you exactly who they are.

What's the over-under on how many elected Dems' last words before the firing squad unloads are "This is unconstitutional."

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Before anyone loses their last spark of faith in humanity, do remember just how many right-wing, American First, troll accounts on Twitter - and by reasonable extrapolation, other platforms - are from nowhere near the United States, and exist solely to stoke despair.

Make it viral.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Jersey already dug Homeboy Kim, but then when we saw him picking up litter after J6, that shit was locked in for good.

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

To be fair, they never say when a phoenix will rise from its ashes, just that it will... ::resumes waiting for season 3 of The OA::

I’m at the campaign event. I’m at the mosh pit. I’m at the combination campaign event-mosh pit.

Reading is resistance. Reading is resilience.

GoFundMe has set up a page for the Texan flood victims. Each campaign has been verified by the company's Trust & Safety experts, which means you know your money is going directly to families. Please consider donating if you can. Their stories are heartbreaking. www.gofundme.com/c/act/flood-...

How does my 16lbs cat, completely covered in black fur, whine for the windows to be open on a 90º muggy day and thrives when he gets it, but my hairless human ass can't breathe and sweats like a pig. How the hell is he not in charge.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

There is indeed hope...

How many examples is it gonna take before this horseshit narrative ends.

You don't need to be an expert to surmise that firing people who prevent death will lead to an increase in death.

Outlooks like these are why the U.S. is in the predicament it's in. This is simply how it's done, how it should be. It's as plain as cause and effect. Their complaints are deeply revealing. Crime --> swift punishment --> next.

I was at a film festival in Savannah with him and one night at a karaoke bar he sang "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid and it was every bit as amazing as it sounds.

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

At what point are your everyday non-MAGA Trump voters going to realize this isn't okay, that they made a mistake?

I'm reposting this. Now that my predictions have come true, folks may read these articles in a different light. Hopefully a clearer light. To fight the future, you need to grasp the past: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ten-articl...

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News. Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever. spitfirenews.com/p/an-introdu...

Briefly returning from my post-production slumber for two important points: 1 - The desire for neutrality is in itself partisan. 2 - Ignorance is not bliss for the people you are ignoring. Horror with Heart 🖤🤘🫀

Who'd have thought firing aviation safety advisors might result in plane crashes?

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Our town voted 71% Trump the first time around. Local dicks tore down our Pride flag. Surprisingly the community came out in support, donated new flags. Douches tore down our second flag. More donations. We redistributed them throughout the area. Now, more Pride flags fly than ever. Suck it, punks.

Efficiency hack: make your bed while you’re in it. Then just slide out, admire your work, and enjoy having started the morning right.

Thanks to the second nervous breakdown in under six weeks, this time with a dissociative episode resulting in me wandering three miles from the house on foot with no coat in 19° weather, my word for 2025 is “boundaries.”

As always.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

"Feynman ... said 'physics is to math what sex is to masturbation'. ... if the orgasm gap is anything to go by, he presumably meant that math is often more fun, more effective, and better at getting the desired result in the face of adverse real-world conditions." 👩‍🍳💋 from @supermathskid.bsky.social
