every day I wake up, I aim to defend my students, all of them, from the GOP’s agenda of enslavement and abuse. Trans rights forever, no human is illegal. Believe Femmes and Be Brave Enough to Be Kind. I’m not alone, yet.

RFK Jr says Sam Altman told him it's "malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis or to make a prescription w/o at least checking AI.” RFK Jr says AI “can give you a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country." I asked OpenAI+Anthropic if they agree; never heard back

"arabs have contributed nothing to the arts and sciences" is such a funny fucking thing for a bog ape wearing a little suit to say

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Joe Manchin killed the CTC expansion that would have cut child poverty in half because he believes poor people are all drug addicts and criminals who would have used the money immorally.

Wether it’s Vivek attacking a sexual assault victim or Acton being assaulted as a 12yo, both sides are at fault. Thank you for having the courage to say this Joe Manchin

i can see an argument that at some point mass prosecutions of these guys might actually engender a backlash effect. i think you can just start with a peace deal with iran that involves turning over hegseth to them to answer for the children he killed and then going from there. it will have an effect

Ah yes my favorite topic as someone with total aphantasia, who people LOVE to claim are utterly helpless without AI help. My mind cannot conjure images, sounds or any sensations. No inner monologue. No dreams. And SDAM, so I don’t even have vivid memories And yet I draw. Without the shit machine :)

Convening a focus group of 30 people who have no idea what's going on and no expertise on basically any topic and just turning them loose. "Fuck me up," I tell them. "Just give me all the dumbest stuff you've got."

There is no bottom for the Republican Party. It is a force for evil I’ve watched for my entire adult life (I’m almost 49). This is why I can’t stand calls for bipartisanship or demonstrations of the old boys and girls club. They’re fucking monsters who ruin the very fabric of society.

THE DOLL (1983) 
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 30” x 15”

 There were audible rustlings in the audience when this image came up in one of my slide shows.

My most doomer, blackpilled thought is: if republicans ran on repealing the 13th amendment, it would be a close race People aren’t actually morally good by default. It takes work to have a just society. And the Republicans (with the help of Money) are running on that

Vivek is a sick, arrogant man, and I hope his horrible actions here will take not only a campaign-ending toll on him but also on the entire Republican ticket and leadership in Ohio, which has shown itself incapable of responsible governing — let alone moral governance.

I just can't stress enough that it's not a coincidence, and it's not even just a personality type. It is an active agenda and an ideological imperative. The physical and sexual abuse of women and children is as much a plank in the right's platform as tax cuts for billionaires. They work hard at it.

It’s not about winning an election, it’s about mainlining an abusive ideology They want abusers to be ”part of the conversation” rather than shunned and punished It’s scary as hell and it’s not going away without a painful fight

Vivek is doubling down and doing a $4m ad buy for the Acton Mom ad which has been widely debunked and faced bipartisan backlash www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

Anti-trans and anti-abortion and anti-immigrant all fall into the same pile: Some people possess agency over themselves and others, the rest must suffer as they will They will enslave us, all of us, if they can

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely.

obviously many more important takeaways from the French approach to protest, but much respect to the absolute varsity level Whimsy of throwing a whole ass piano at the cops

Every Christian candidate for Congress should be asked if they disavow Timothy McVeigh.
