I have zero respect for people who use the term "illegal alien."

No. Human. Being. Is. ILLEGAL.

It doesn't even make sense. Could a person have committed crimes? Sure. That doesn't give you the right to erase their personhood entirely and just call them "illegal."

Immoral behavior.

Thousands participate in ‘No Kings Day’ protest at Idaho State Capitol in Boise • Idaho Capital Sun “No Kings Day” protests coincided with President Donald Trump’s birthday and a military parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th birthday.

That's a photo of Boise.

Who Does the SAVE Act Impact? 1 in 3 American Women lack proof of citizenship documents with their current legal name. Institute for Responsive Government

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.

Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.

This is insane!

Hands Off Her Vote

I’d really prefer it if people weren’t escaping into conspiracy theories, bro science and “how to get rich quick” schemes. Pretty terrible stuff.

Looking at the most popular podcast episodes through my preferred podcast app is so depressing. If these are truly the things people care about, and these are truly the voices people want to hear - I just dunno man.

If there has been any failure in DEI it’s that there were still too many incompetent white dudes getting jobs just because they were white dudes or knew another white dude in power.

DEI didn’t go far enough by half. That was the real problem.

something to remind you
Our last few remaining wild places
Are worth saving

There needs to be a full academic boycott of Columbia. It's an institution not worth saving. No one should speak there, go there, or collaborate with academics there. Let it crumble into irrelevance.

"I Have Not Yet Begun to Fight"

9/23/1779: John Paul Jones refused to surrender in a fight with the 44-gun Royal Navy frigate Serapis, even though his ship was burning & sinking. Only hours later, it was the Serapis that surrendered & Jones took command.

Look. Things are very bad, there’s no question.

But collapsing into despair, constant dooming and doomscrolling, what do you think that accomplishes? Nothing.

Process what you’re experiencing through therapy, self care, being in community, etc… and then get back to work.

Nothing is inevitable.

Thanks to our Veterans for once again coming through for America…👇

Thank you! 😎✨

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

It’s felt good to finally get away from Amazon. There are some things I can’t avoid like their AWS (Amazon Web Services) that undergird so much of the Internet, but beyond that we’re done.

Between home and business, it’s actually quite a lot of money now going elsewhere.

Small steps of resistance.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents.

I will not back down.
I will not bow or scrape.
I will never obey.

Upaya Zen Center has such a big roof. Welcoming our indigenous neighbors, learning from them, building bridges, taking down walls, standing in our values to the best of our ability, correcting course as needed, discovering, inquiring, giving refuge.

A lot of people who got the measles as children died or suffered lifelong disabilities as a result. The measles vaccine was a godsend to worldwide public health, and it’s an absolute scandal that this lethally ignorant dolt has any power over public health.

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

In 2017, Trump gave a $2 trillion tax cut mostly sucked up by billionaires and big corporations.

But it was so expensive, Republicans set many of their tax cuts to end after 2025.

Now, Republicans want to steal from working people to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

Yeah, fuck that.

Over the weekend, nearly 50,000 protesters gathered at Tesla locations worldwide, demonstrating the growing strength of our movement. Tesla is facing mounting challenges, with sales plummeting across multiple countries.

#GVerse We the gd people! This is how we speak up!👇

Guess what this won’t do?

Stop climate change.

Fucking idiots.

Tweet from Senator Rollins, the Secretary for Agriculture: Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins * CANCELLED: $600,000 grant to study "menstrual cycles in transgender men" Keep sending us tips. THANK YOU, @approject! The insanity is ending and the restoration of America is underway.

Let’s talk about this a bit.

TL;DR First and foremost - it’s a lie, that’s not what the study was for. And the lie is told as pictured because contrary to popular belief - these bigots do in fact know about and hate trans men.

Every young man I know is a good person who knows how to think critically and take criticism. I think what we need to do is stop focusing on young men that, for whatever reason, have decided that the very worst people are good role models. Let’s focus on continuing to cultivate the OTHER ones.

No. We need to systematically teach critical thinking at all levels of education so that everyone knows how to tell their ass from a hole in the ground, or, how to tell when dumb white dudes are lying to them.

Men don’t need more pampering and pandering. We need education.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.

What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.

Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.
