I think this is the definition of a "decisive" victory.

1) This map is wildly out of date, at least for CO, OR, and CA. Possibly others.
2) When I did the documents research for my play Cloaks and Closets, I never imagined I'd be using that background to explain queer history on FB but here we are

The question is, how much of a gag order/content moderation will he be under???

I have driven one of my kids to their school every day for four years now. The same route through our city, same time of day. The sudden proliferation of US flags in residential yards since Jan 2025 is noticable and significant.

Make Disney feel like Target.

The Sartre quote is evergreen:

Shock value was/is precisely the point. Luigi has "better" politics than many lone shooters, but he still performed a piece of theatre as well, demonstrating how easy it was to get close to a powerful man.

I mean, the Denver metro has enough of a population to sustain a robust JCC, there's enough of a community in COS for 3 synagogues, 2 in Pueblo. It's not like Chicago/NYC, but we're not invisible either!

May Charlie RIP, but he also said...

When someone dies, we say "may their memory be for a blessing."
The blessing of right wing hypocrisy revealed
And of remembering again 2 MN lawmakers who also died this summer
And of seeing Kirk's statements in black and white, in ways that cannot be ignored or dismissed
There will be others

It is so much work to stay aware of rage farming/mining/baiting! Somehow, though, I learned about the H.S. shooting through community theatre pages of all places. Read 1 article from a trusted source about Kirk, and have ignored all else (including the video). But that takes work and awareness!!!

It is so fucking weird to have a head full of 20th century history, and mid 20th century dystopian novels, to know the playbook in its entirety, and be utterly helpless to stop it

Pope Leo demands end to ‘pandemic of arms’ after Minnesota school shooting First US pope in history prays for victims of last week’s shooting that left two children dead and 18 others injured

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... - here's an idea: tell your Church to stop teaching children that being LGBTQ+ is a moral problem. Children who are not taught to hate themselves do not commit grotesque acts of violence guns or no guns.

asked my father-in-law how i can “know a guy”. i will never forget his answer…

“we can’t, we don’t know how to do it anymore”

All good stories begin with a core of fact. What truths are spun from these facts remains to be seen.

Folded book pages with vine and leaves doodles and blacked out text

I'm turning a dreadfully dull and out of date textbook into some sort of found art project

Except that Calvinism teaches salvation through perfection of both the self and the community, and additionally sees poverty as a mark of disgrace. If we have any religious education, we're taught that Calvin founded a utopia in Geneva. In practice, he founded a police state dedicated to perfection

There's a lot more 0's involved, granted, but this is pretty much the attitude of every person I know who is over the age of 70 and accustomed to having a few years worth of living expenses in the bank at any given moment. Hoard and preserve, rather than distribute.

For the first two decades of my life, I spent every summer on a lake in Onterio. I am SO IMPRESSED with how y'all are dealing with the US's nonsense right now. Much love

The response to this is a white paper, not a character limited social media response but fundamentally, the answer to these questions is that Catholic philosophy is starkly different to the Calvanist philosophy that dominates the US religious and culturally.

Fear and intimidation. He wants this headline everywhere, in conjunction with ICE arresting Newark's mayor, to make Democrat local and state leadership afraid to challenge the fed.

But oh no's racism isn't institutionalized in either the US or most of Europe, oh no, not at all /s 🤔

Neither the Left Behind novels nor Good Omens prepared me for this eventuality . . . 👀

And reading all of those awful Left Behind novels did not prepare me for this possibiity.
