What in the ever loving HELLS is wrong with us? I mean, yes, I understand the Pumpkin is but a symptom of the frothy evil of the Conservative Right. I even accept that his empowerment is based on feeding his base acceptance of the worst aspects of themselves. BUT THIS IS JUST FETHING EVIL!

For all of my fellow wierd kids out there. The Weird in me sees and recognizes and rejoices in the Wierd in you. May it be ever thus.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

It sucks, it really, truly, absolutely is totally unfair: but the only way out is through. We can, and must, take a break if needed, throw a tantrum, and/or scream into the face of eternity. Necessary to refocus our inner strength and to pick the fight back up, and trudge forward a few more steps.

Everyone coming on my feed and explaining to me that all is lost, I note what I have noted before, that there are no Negro Spirituals entitled, “Welp, I Guess It All Sucks and I Am Giving Up.”

Lý Xīnzhèn Brown (@lydiaxzbrown.com) is a Democratic Socialist running for the Maryland House. They are a longtime advocate, policy analyst, and scholar working in disability and technology. If you want people in politics who actually understand issues AND the stakes, Lý Xīnzhèn fully fits the bill

Tantrum time. Why in the EVER LOVING FUCK is World Cup viewing acess $90.00 a month? Spanish language access here in the US is $20.00. But for the rest of USians, $90? For the LEAST GIVE A FUCK people foe WC Futball ever? Also, do you people REALLY pay those prices regularly for SportsBall Access?

It took all weekend, but my Library is packed. All boxed up into 32 boxes. Not counting the artwork, sculpture,travel trophies and the like. Yet books, journals, folios, magazines, dvds, cds, albums, casset tapes, reels, and hard-drive archives are all proper packed. Biggest lift for move: check!

I love (sarcasm) that in the face of actual oblivion and authoritarian over-reach, there are STILL those giving more credence to pedantry, than the Rights devouring reality we arw living in. It is sad that "Devil's Advocate" and being right in minutiae, than support any actions to save our lives.

We really need to get USians to grok that our education through HS, is basic learning. That introduces us to concepts, inspires curiosity to pursue new learning in fuller detail and enrichment? That education doesn't abruptly end with a HS diploma! School is how we learn, not the sum of knowledge.

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

Let's start with the people who have had their Civil Rights rights ignored, and arrested unduly and dissapeared into Concentration Camps. We have Concentration Camps FFS. USAID deaths in the millions. Brazen kidnapping and assassination of foreign leaders and civilians. Shedding 80 yr old alliances.

hot enough for you and your complicity. If we can reclaim anything like a Just and a functioning civilization out of this Hellscape you helped create, yoy will be stripped of your assets, tried and convicted as the treasonous snake you are, and thrown into the Aligator Alcatraz you helped to build.

You and your fellow Groomsmen and Handmaidens of actual, truly human evil, will not be able to just walk back into society. This time, we USians, cannot just try and 'just get along.' My Gods align with Retributive Justice, not lip service and blanket forgiveness. Attonement and Penance is the Way!

Alienation of every nation on earth, EXCEPT those run by vile dictators, and this is how we will be viewed for decades. Illegal war and assaults on other countries on the whim of an idiot. Breaking the global economy, and you honestly think, "I feel bad, I am sorry I lied," is gonna work? Hell isn't

Today’s order concluding Illinois v. Trump confirms what's been clear to the people of our state from the beginning: Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to occupy our streets was a reckless and illegal abuse of power.

EUREKA! Living in this place right now and trying to navigate the quad-hourly horrors created by unmitigated dumbasses of the US - its giving living fucking life in the US as a group project. Its the same trapped feeling of suffering from other people's incompetence, and we share a grade.

Once again, for clarity. Trump is a monster, but his power lies completely within the unflagging support of GOP controlled Congress and Senate, as well as the courts of Fed and Appeals, and even our US Supreme Court. Our utterly failed Justice system, our political sytem, our politics for purchase

and worship of the billionaire class - all of this share in the horror and responsibility of Trump's mad reign. They won't stop him, because the money is flowing, and they can hide every misdeed TO Trump: allowing them to handwave away responsibility. Trump is the flare up of the disease, not the

disease itself. We will have to laser out this cancerous growth, cut away the underlying corruption; and be willing to continue treatment until all traces have be scoured away. Otherwise, as Trump proves, it simply festers, and grows again. More malignant and better entrentched than before.

Something tells me Leavitt to Caroline will be soon. Maybe next. But, I am more inclined to think Tulsi Gabbard first. After all, the mediocre men are failing, so OBVIOUSLY they must target the women as the scapegoats.

Wow. So...having been denied entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, it appears that the Latin Patriarch held services outdoors. At Gethsemane. 10/10 use of symbolism, no notes. www.lpj.org/en/news/medi...

Since 2016 I have had several conversations noting that the rise of MAGA along w monied-elites' fear of Progressives (and taxes, accountability, actual change, etc.,) would merge the mainstream/Centrists Dems and Moderate Never-MAGA GOP into a rebranded "Light-Right" party feigning Center.

It never occured to me that the process would be so blatant and heavy handed (Looking at you, Newsome, Klobochar, Slotkin, et al.). But all the Corporate money is now terrified of being tied to this Travesty and need a solid path back AND to avoid any potential prosecution,

and despite MAGA fear-mongering, Soros (jk) can't fund everyone. So of course, for money (and those Primaries are proving REAL to Dems and the ME, they need ro step up their pace. They need those Repub votes to protect them from the Prog and, lets face it, the generally outraged and fed up Americans

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Well, a late Winter surprise for those of us un the Emerald City. I am overjoyed, however, my joy cannot be heard over the savage cursing and wails of despair from everyone else in my office.

With the data exposure late last year, I was not going to enroll im this, and cancel my Pay status. Now, I am inclined to renove it altogether.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Jesus-Allah-Buddha! THIS is what i mean when I say, we cannoy give these cretins cover by only focusing on Trump. The abbetors and enablers need to be in focus as well.

ID the actual problem. The REPUBLICAN party decent into fascism, either by action or defense and support. Its not Trump alone. It is an orchestrated in-group plan executed by souless, cruel people. People who actively, and gleefully support the plan. Please stop giving cover to the ground troops.

This question is weirdly hard, bc the starting place itself is a result of anti-trans propganda shaping the debate. Trans surgeries, for all ages, are vastly rarer than hormone therapy only, which is itself rarer than social adjustments alone. Youth trans surgeries are *incredibly* rare.

Immunoprof (she/they)@immunoprof.bsky.social

Genuinely curious: I thought that was the general guidance all along? Puberty blockers or hormone prescriptions for youth, but surgery later on?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

This. . .this entire thread is absolutely bonkers. Please read til the absolute end (for catharsis). Comments not needed, just the main thread. Mon dieu.
