The fuckers that are the Old Guard of the Democratic Party really DO NOT GET IT. Some of them have been in office long enough that they voted for the Dems when they were the party of Jim Crow.

It really does seem like refusing to physically engage while screaming the worst and most defiant abuse you can think of at these gestapo assholes has tremendous potential to be spectacularly effective

Let me put this simply @andrewcuomo

You're a bigot, a bully, and an asshole. Fuck you, fuck you for shaming your late father, fuck you for damaging the people of this state, fuck you for embarrassing our city, and get the FUCK out of New York.

Bernie Sanders tweet saying "This is what kleptocracy looks like," and then lists off various gifts, schemes, and scams that have netted Donald Trump money across 2025 against the law and Constitution.

We really need to stop trying to teach the median American voter new words. "Kleptocracy," "Stochastic terrorism," all $6 words that people bounce right off of.

Go for the jugular: this is what theft looks like. He is stealing your money and building a gold palace where the White House used to be.

You have a very strong point there. Part of how we got where we are was everyone clamoring for discount pricing.

True enough. I feel the same way about audiobooks and about handcrafted goods. It's getting close to impossible to price things appropriately. Even luxury items.

They should be, but wages have also been largely stagnant.

Asking the average person to pay more is a big ask so long as most of our money gets trapped by the wealth class.

He was magnificent in The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.

No dollar needed.

The computer is your friend. Happiness is mandatory. Are you happy?

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

"The only Constitutional rights upon which we can depend are those we extend to the weakest and most reviled among us." -Judge William G. Young

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

Herpetologists are badass.

I heard an owl hooting outside and dhe sounded awfully close to the house. I went outside in time to see her fly into this tree, where she and another (maybe younger?) owl satn and conversed before flying off together. #owls #birds #momentofpeacr

I've been following you for years, here and before on the bird site. It's remarks like this that remind me why.

I would *happily* dance out my disappointment at normal levels of disingenuous incompetence in 2029.

I had to request a copy through InterLibrary Loan in order to rewatch it. This was a really good movie and directed by an award winning director, Kathryn Bigelow. It's a shame that films like this get so easily lost in a day and age when there is no practical reason for it.

Why do explorers always pack extra paper towels when they go to the Andromeda galaxy?

Because it's a Messier object.

me, a small farmer: Small farmers in the US aren't poor. Most are middle class at LEAST. Here's the data if you don't believe me

City Folks(TM): But have you considered all the Details? This info distresses me. Therefore you, Small Farmer, must be mistaken

ppl from farm country: haha I know right

ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid Roughly 30 undocumented immigrants were taken into custody, several of them suspected of gang affiliation, NewsNation reported.

@hickenlooper.senate.gov

If you want my support for you as Governor, you need to come out hard and loud against this, right now:

America is under siege. A Governor who won't fight against this would be just a Nazi stooge.

Anyone who wants to be an apologist for Kirk should be asked to watch this.

Bennet is a coward and a weasel. If there is no effort to control pricing and corporate investment into private housing, our housing prices will continue to skyrocket.

I have let them know. Many, many times. At best? They're noodles.

At worst? They're collaborators.

If anything good can come from my arrest, I hope it's that more people demand the shutdown of the Broadview ICE facility, where humans are treated like poorly kept animals. Stop the deportations. Demand the truth about Silverio's death at ICE's hands.

I'm really only sticking around for my cat. After he's gone, I'm really not sure what's left.

ICE budget now bigger than most of the world's militaries Donald Trump wants to inject $150 billion into his immigration crackdown over the next four years.

Fiscal responsibility.

Utah Republican senator faces backlash over post condemning Kirk’s killing Only months ago, Mike Lee had posted disparaging tweets after Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot

If you're more upset about the response to Kirk's murder than you were about the response to Hortman's... Ask yourself why.

If Kirk's call the murder LGBTQ people (referencing Leviticus) is just legitimate debate, then so is shooting him in the neck. You really don't get to have it both ways.

I do not advocate shooting people. Or stoning people. But they are equivalent. To say otherwise is bullshit.

One issue over Kirk was that for LGBTQ ppl, he was a terrorist inciting hate & violence.

For cis straight politicos/journos he was a ‘polite’ debater. That ‘debate’ is whether LGBTQ ppl have the right to exist. Such a debate is ‘fascism’ & was resolved at the Nuremberg Trials.

I have had three separate conversations in three separate contexts today about how nice it would be if trans people weren't being aggressively targeted by forces in power so that we were free to have defining characteristics beyond "trans."
