Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content. On his work computer. During a Board of Education meeting. Read that again. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/ryan-walte...

Wonder Woman (the TV show & in general) was one of my FAVORITE things as a kid. I love that Lynda Carter has NEVER stopped being the Wonder Woman we all need.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Dropped daughter off for school trip to France. One of the dads was wearing a trump hat, so I’m already planning attire for airport pick-up on the 21st. • Pride bracelet & earrings • “Disobey” necklace • ‘Michael Stipe at MTV 🎵 awards’ layers of t-shirts, starting w/ this one. Suggestions welcome!

This is making me think about how Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same day….

it would be the greatest day in history if the musky rat just dies from an overdose after spilling every single secret of his orange ex-boyfriend

Yes - sound UP. Super satisfying.

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

I’d add that it’s not “taking hold” *now*. It’s been an animating feature for over a century to distract from the fascists.

the irrational fear of communism taking hold in the united states is perhaps the single most destructive force against anything getting better here. people are raised to be actively afraid of life getting better for everyone.

White men crying about how the Democratic Party ignores them is peak white patriarchal privilege. JFC, get over your insecure bullshit and grow a spine. The patriarchy has coddled you for so long, all you know is victimhood when others get a fair shot.

Should have been The Imperial March, but not bad.

🎪 🤡 MUST-WATCH: Jim Jordan interrupted at a Republican lawyers conference by someone playing 🎵 “Send In the Clowns” 🎵 and circus music and 🎵 “You Ain’t Nothin’ But A Liar” 🎵 on the ballroom speakers Incredible stuff.

“WHO does that? Oh, right. Lots of white people do. Folks who LOOK LIKE ME. And you know what? I take that sort of aggressive, chosen ignorance by my own people personally — and so should you.” I do, I do….

This is 57 varieties of fucked up.

The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social

Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.

“…and it could not come at a more difficult time for the American press.” Does this possibly translate to: “We fucked ourselves, but we want to whine like victims about it.”

The New York Times@nytimes.com

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Across the world, we’ve seen democracy in retreat,” writes A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times. “This anti-press playbook is now being used here in this country — and it could not come at a more difficult time for the American press.”

I’m so glad that the person I thought was the most beautiful woman in the whole world when I was a kid turned out to be one of the good guys. 💗💗💗

Morgan Fairchild@morgfair.bsky.social

This is the 50th anniversary of Willie recording his breakthrough album, Red-Headed Stranger. Here are a few pics from the premiere of the movie we did by the same name, stringing the songs together to form a plot. Sweetest man in the world!💗

The problem isn’t that klansman and nazis have 1A rights. The problem is that we quit punching klansman and nazis. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

And I will absolutely defend a klansman’s right to hold the opinion that me and my family shouldn’t exist. He has a constitutional right to a shitty opinion. This is America.

Happy #caturday from Casper, the member of the household who’s the most appreciative that it was our family who got to bring the cup-o-noodles home from the LAX season’s concession stand surplus.

Truly - this is amazing.

Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan@ltgovflanagan.mn.gov

Today we’re celebrating Minnesota’s highest high school graduation rate on record. By providing free school meals, supporting teacher training, expanding mental health resources, and promoting technical training opportunities, we’ve set up our kids up for success.

This is a very good, very thorough article. You should read it.

None of these “deportations” should be happening. And these aren’t even deportations; they're a violent form of exile. People are being snatched and sent to places rife with violence, torture and sexual abuse. The United States is building a series of concentration camps and gulags overseas.

Good news: Mabel is back home after having her babies at the kitty shelter. Bad news: I’d forgotten that, unlike the other two, she wants to be ‘that’ desk cat. (But seriously, we’re so happy to have her back.)

“…you’re the empire,” says the administration whose leader acts like - and whose party treats him like - an emperor. Stupid and unserious motherfuckers.

Blue Sedition Podcast@blue-sedition.com

Just… what the fuck? The literal mouthpiece for the Empire telling the “radical left lunatics” that they aren’t the Rebellion, but they are actually the Empire… How did we lose to these absolute morons? Just mind-bendingly stupid people. Like, I’m going to run out of chars describing the stupidity
