When people ask how those without access to systems of power might combat the rising fascist tide — think of graffiti. The radical orgs of the 70s knew this. It’s visible, it sticks in the mind, it establishes the presence of the speaker not as an individual but as a representative of the collective

AMC Theater employees, be for real: are your families being held hostage? Is that why you’re trying so aggressively to upsell me at the concession stand?

Elon Musk blasts Chattanooga pastor after sermon refers to violence | Chattanooga Times Free Press

If you think about it, the richest man on earth stealing the personal data of private citizens and working to illegally dismantle systems that care for the world's poorest and most vulnerable people is also a kind of violence.

During Kendrick's halftime show a man unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and eventually tackled and removed by security.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

I was a meeting today and someone made a reference to “mental health and poetry,” and I thought they said “mental health and poultry,” and now I’m wondering what that would include.

point out, it is also unworkable. (See Dkt. No. 69-1 at 17.) The recordkeeping and administrative burden from such an arrangement, (see id.), ' also mandates nationwide relief. Nor is it clear what, if any, prejudice the Government would suffer from nationwide relief. In its brief in opposition, it points to none. (See Dkt. No. 84 at 57-59).

For all these reasons, the Court finds that relief must be nationwide. Anything less is ineffectual.

III. CONCLUSION

Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the United States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order. The Court GRANTS the i Plaintiffs' motions for a nationwide preliminary injunction (Dkt Nos, 63, 74) and ENJOINS enforcement or implementation of the Order on a nationwide basis.

Birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Nazi salute during the inauguration of an American President was the last straw for me. I'm ashamed it took me this long.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!

Today may be scary, but now it's up to us to be the heroes we need to see in our communities.

Our institutions and elected leaders have failed to prevent this moment, but if we work together to stand up for our friends and neighbors we can make a big difference.

The Mountain Goats - This Year (Official Video) YouTube video by the Mountain Goats

Special thanks to @themountaingoats.bsky.social for uploading a high quality version of the music video for this song today specifically. If you haven’t heard it before, you should listen to it. If you have heard it, chant it like a prayer.

If you feel like you're watching the culture disappear into something unrecognizably grotesque and cruel, you're not crazy, you're not alone, and now is not the time to lose your values or your voice.

The families who will be most brutalized by what's to come will need them.

It is deeply frustrating and confusing that a city with so few truly pedestrian-friendly spaces would allow the ones they DO have to be degraded in this way. The wear and tear of those vehicles on those surfaces create additional cost burdens for taxpayers too!

in 2020 I watched a documentary on the 1918 flu pandemic. I'll never forget this quote:

"as soon as the dying stopped, the forgetting began"

"it is in the individual memory... but not in our collective memory. that's the greatest mystery to me—how we could have forgotten anything so horrendous."

One thing about USPS employees is you will NOT leave that counter without knowing EXACTLY where the link to the customer service survey is on your receipt.

Also: can we get Thinking Sweatpants as a merch item in the (eventual) Vibe Check online store? Many people are saying this.

I hate that I have to think this way, but as a piece of corporate synergy, it would make sense for her to make some new Netflix content off of some other Netflix content 🙃
