i miss the beloved, viral ew&f guy on this day

The text of a message to Lebeda Mattress Factory: Due to Lebeda's support of the Sinclair-owned television station KGAN in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I will be boycotting Lebeda and will be telling my community of friends, family, and co-workers to do the same. Lebeda is paying for advertising with a Sinclair station. As such, Lebeda is supporting a company that is trampling on free speech rights. Sinclair is using its power to disallow comments that reflect anything but approval for Donald Trump and his administration's behavior. This is how an authoritarian regime works, not how a democracy works. Aligning yourself with the values of democracy will help your business prosper.

boycott Sinclair advertisers Menard's, Lebeda Mattress Factory, Wendy's, Liberty Mutual and let them know

The truly, truly strange thing about Kirk is that I have not seen his supporters quote one statement by him that illustrates his supposed nobility of character.

it’s like Baby’s First Habermas without any further reflection

MTSU — the assistant dean of students was fired last night one hour after Senator Marsha Blackburn called on them to do so after her posts about Charlie Kirk.

I ventured over to twitter to see what Conor Friedersdorf has to say about this. In the last day he’s had time to post about Burger King and a 1907 car race, but has remained mysteriously silent on his favorite topic, suppression of academic freedom of speech.

gotta rethink their adhesion optics

ty!

this? slaps.

why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"

why do transphobes have a fucking monopoly on "having some concerns about fairness", can i have a concern about the fairness of normalizing kids getting their genitals inspected by strange adults for reasons entirely unrelated to health or hygiene as a prerequisite for peewee soccer?

You too can learn how to pool and redistribute money to those in need! We have a guide on how to do that!! Here's more about how CMMP (consistent money-moving project) works; scroll down to find the link to DIY CMMP consistentmoneymoving.org. Mutual aid is good for all of us!!!

All that you, centrist dem, have to do 3 years before the election is to also say “fuck Gavin Newsom, I won’t vote for him” and he won’t be the nominee. “Vote blue no matter who” at this point is - and listen to me very closely - cover for your transphobia.

mel andringa creates art by joining two jigsaw puzzles that have matching dye cuts but distinct images. this one combines the spirit of 76 painting with an early iconographic portrait of george washington

my book launched yesterday and i was so busy with the first day of classes that i forgot my book launched yesterday. anyway here was my preferred cover image created by mel andringa and i'm glad it wasn't selected

if you wind back the clock a year and say “trump will be president, he’ll tear up entire agencies without any legislative authority, ignore court orders, build a concentration camp, and send troops into multiple US cities” you wouldn’t ask “well how many troops?” before deciding what this describes
