Amazed at the number of guys who are willing to give interviews about how since they didn’t find love with women they found love with the computer that’s poisoning people in black neighborhoods

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Was just saying to a friend that I’m so glad I’m not a student in this era. I feel so bad for the mess they’re having to live through.

I’m on my 6th of 12 shifts & you gave me so much hope for a second because I can’t remember what day it is anymore.

Congratulations! Welcome to the world Felix, you & your family are so very loved. 🩵

the yellow smile of the einsatzgruppe leers again over crumbling walls

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

Black and white photo of a longhaired brown tuxedo tabby lying on its side on a white radiator cover in front of a window. It has one forepaw adorably draped across its eyes.

I had a sad week last week (nothing dire or cat-related, just stupid bs that wears you down), but then today my friend Adelle was casually like “oh, I have something for you” and pulls out AN ENVELOPE OF VINTAGE CAT PHOTOS. It was the right thing at the right time to make everything better. 💕

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

This needs to make a comeback this year for sure

Chicago, baby.

seeing just how much evangelical christianity is soaked into every pore of all this horseshit....... all the initatives to drive women and minorities from public life in particular..... their Obsession with hierarchy and obedience and submission -- it's everywhere, like the foulest smell

You can tell how online I am because I actually don't know what regular Dixie sounds like I only know the union version

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

you wanna play big boy games your name gets published. what is this my large adult precious son shit

✨WHEEZING✨

they should invent unprecedented times that are good

these policies are, revealing how Meta's internal guidelines allow Facebook users to say that trans people are both mentally ill and don't exist, which to be clear, if you're listening to this and saying that you agree with that, I'd like you to stop listening for a second. I'd like you to get your car keys, I'd like you to close your garage door, and I'd like you to start the fucking ignition, just in case it's really not clear enough how I feel about anti-trans people.

I have been working some subtle political messages into Better Offline

i stride into the grocery store with two guns, blood from the razor sewn into the waistband of my pants drips down my ass while blood from the razor blade in the tongue of my shoe soaks the escape map that shows me how to get back to my house two miles away.

i have forgotten my wallet.

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are

if you'd told me in 1995 that a woman singer-songwriter would believe vaccines magnetized your blood and ham cured measles, i 100% would've picked jewel

Washington post article framing Elon’s Nazi salute as an exuberant speech at inauguration

They cut to the crowd when he gives the salute in the 1 minute edit of his speech. You can still hear him slap his chest.

Goebbels would blush with how blatant this is.

Important to point out that America did not *just* become a fascist nation; we have always been a fascist nation but with liberal/neoliberal governance.

Now we are a fascist nation with fascist governance. The machinery didn't change, the drivers did.

Programs like Universal Health Care, Dental Care, Pharmacare, Free Education, Mental Health Support, Social Housing, Safe Drug supplies and sites for addicts, these things don't cost money, or rather, they pay for themselves in increased health, productivity, economic health.

I criticize Dems so hard because it's the only way we will ever get out of this. The next four years are going to suck for queer and trans people, immigrants, unions, wealth inequality, those who need healthcare, and more.

We only claw back with a party that knows where its heart is.

just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes:
