Read the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson and it will become incredibly clear.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately".

He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.

Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

Widdle men cry around better men. The GOP and Administration is filled with widdle men.

THIS ‼️

The Empire is striking back, but we know how this story unfolds.
The Resistance stands firm & grows. Those who were trampled by the powers of darkness joined & fought back.
We are #AltGov, and we are here to help.
The fight has only just begun.

What’s the deal with AltNationalParkService? They’ve been around forever and seem totally legit but they don’t have the badge.

I didn’t spend a fucking dime on 2/28/25.

But, Andor. It’s just fantastic.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar directed by Wes Anderson. Beautiful story. 41 minutes long. I recommend it as a break from this current insanity.

No one is coming to save us. It’s up to us. We are our own saviors.

The show must go on.

It’s just so much, all the time. Wish I could take a time out from the fascism for a day. Just one to regroup for a sec.

Mindblowing. So talented. Not sure why, but her music sounds to me like if Aaron Copland and Philip Glass merged. But all her style. www.npr.org/2025/02/07/g...

The white stripes colorway.

Already got the wife a pair.

They’re going to launch an IG-like app called Flashes (I think that’s the name), supposedly in the very near future. Might be what you’re looking for.

Definitely an interesting perspective. He’s intriguing. And I think we need to identify really strong leaders to get us through. I mean, AOC is Queen right now but she needs help. Also, Jasmine Crockett. And Bernie. Always Bernie.

Can This Congressman Help Democrats Win Men Back? When men broke for Trump in 2024, Democrats turned to Pat Ryan for answers. They might not like what he has to say.

This is a great article. I think it addresses a reality that has unwittingly contributed to our current political state. www.gq.com/story/can-pa...

Guess I’m going to have to figure out what to do on Super Bowl Sunday because I sure as shit ain’t watching those two teams.

A worthy contender

I was wondering what to call these things. Skeet has a different connotation which makes me uncomfy using. Blueskees? Just skees? Loosies, like the cigs sold at bodegas?

My first…what do we call these things? Blueskee? Whatever. Just wanted to say how happy I am to have so many friends joining up. Damn the man.
