Important message for anyone who doesn't want to spend all their time online being annoyed. That's not a life. No one wants that.

"You can't block someone just for being annoying!" Those are actually the most important people to block

My contribution to Cheesecake Factory discourse: Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang members assaulted a mixed-race family. I identified one of them because he worked at a Cheesecake Factory and their Instagram page posted pictures of him. He has a back tattoo with SS bolts and phrase "Aryan Soldier"

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

It's 6:50am in Oxnard CA. "Leonide" is at the side of a strawberry field ready to start harvesting at 7am. "I earn CA minimum wage. That's not enough for the grueling work I do. The cost of living is very high, but wages are not rising at all. We deserve to earn more." #WeFeedYou

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

Apropos of nothing in particular, when I was deep into Christian Identity (literally Nazi Christianity, look it up if you don't know) in the early 90s we were making a concerted push into the PNW to infiltrate the region and sway it toward christofascism.

Rule of thumb is that if somebody hates one minority group, they likely hate the others as well. Frequently, transphobes are also homophobic,racist, xenophobic, and sexist. Any political group pushing transphobia should be seen as suspicious

If dems cant stand for one Marginalized group to fight fascism then they arent gonna syand for the others either

Farm workers in Sunnyside WA are getting pumpkins ready for Halloween. They carry the pumpkins to the side of the field so when the tractor comes by them is easier to load it. An average pumpkin weighs 12–15 lbs, but some weigh 50lbs or more. #WeFeedYou

The democrats aren't the reason LGBTQ people have rights, LGBTQ people fought and died for those rights. The democrats had congres and the presidency and still failed to pass the equal rights amendment in 2021, only to lose the senate a year later.

Wizards-Lady@wizards-lady.bsky.social

WTF are you talking about? Democrats are the only reason LGBTQ... have any rights & support at all. If we can get enough leverage in Congress, those rights will become federally protected. The only reason they aren't is bc GOP has f***Does up Congress so badly for too long. Give us a real 🌊 & 👇🏻

BREAKING Brazil's defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro refuses to recognize President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory on Sunday. "It is impossible to acknowledge the result," he said from Brasilia, adding that "I am going to request the annulment of these elections"

Peter Magnuson reposted

So Lula not only won, he basically doubled his margin of victory from 2022. I'm guessing he won thanks to voters who didn't love him, but were terrified to see Flavio given near-dictatorial power. It's going to be a messy next chapter for Brazil, but at least it'll be a fight, not a curb-stomping.

NEW: DOJ just admitted in court that their lawsuit against California is not about outcome determinative issues, it's simply saying that a single non-citizen voting causes the government irreparable harm. That's bananapants.
