we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

It's the first Sunday since the inauguration.
As you head to your place of worship, ask yourself--
Is my ______ speaking like Bishop Budde, or Rev. Graham?

If it's the latter, consider finding a new home.

Mexico didn't allow deported Mexicans to land.

The Inspectors Generals are not leaving without their 30 days notice from Congress.

He wants to call it the Gulf of America, but no other country will.

Can someone please explain to himself the concept of the word "No"? Use pictures if that helps.

So DEIAtruth (at) opm dot gov is the rat line email for reporting federal worker colleagues guilty of DEI Thought. And I’m surprised if this thing isn’t inundated with people emailing pictures of poop or stuff like that.

Joy is resistance. Find the glimmers of beauty, hope, peace and most of all find joy.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

We really lost our way when Wingdings went out of vogue

Bring back IRC! Bulletin boards! Awkward email systems! ASCII files!

The best part about the Gaza cease fire is that BIDEN did it. Trump didn’t. The only way it could get better is if they gave all the credit to Harris or a sudden Ukraine cease fire, too. His hide has got to be CHAPPED right now,

But really. I was banned from writing press releases because apparently you shouldn’t start them with “what the fuck is wrong with you?”

Fair point. But when I forget to post SHOUTY THURSDAY my friends check on me. My mom does, too. YMMV

With out social media I would never have been able to gather international support for a local non discrimination ordinance. But I did and it passed and we made history. I could also point to DADT, ENDA, ACA repeal and the DREAMERS as examples of the power of social media and community.

My life is organizing. That’s what I do. As I said, the reach I’ve had would be impossibly with out social media.

I will not abandon the community I’ve built. Now more than ever we have to recognize that community isn’t always in person and go to where the people are. Some of my favorite people are ones I will never meet who I interact with on line only.

You

. Hell, a social media post in October 2009 changed the course of our family’s lives and introduced me to hundreds and hundreds of you.
Community is going to be how we survive, how we resist, how we fight back. We have to be able to connect with the on line and real world communities we have worked

Scammers followed us over here. So gross

Birth control is also going to be on the chopping block soon, and they won’t be done there, either.

We’re been saying it and saying it:

All our freedoms are intertwined.
All our struggles are one.

Solidarity and collective liberation or bust, literally.

We can do this:

It's hard to imagine a more brutal illustration of climate injustice and a failed society than indentured teenage slaves being used to protect the homes of wealthy Americans.

You have done your father proud!

Really struggling

If you don't believe the simple act of not cooperating is effective, you've never been inside a kindergarten classroom.
