"FEMALES..."

Oh SHIT. Two birds with one stone and neither were for immigration. It was to hassle black folk and make a sizzle real about it and to help Wells Fargo out.

Fucking crazy shit.

remember when one of those surgeons general stood right next to the president as he spewed lies... also remember him trying to defuse criticism on the social media site by (trying to reach out) via DM (heh) and blocking (heh heh)

Maybe the most infuriating part of this is that if you just gave most of these people $4200 a month they’d find their own damn housing and get their lives back on track

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Lawless Russell Vought thinks he can nullify a law by deleting it from an FAQ

Woke up a bit congested, it’s rainy out, I have some peppers, bitter leaf and egusi in the cupboard…

How many videos have you seen of protesters being brutalized? Pretending this imagery still changes the math the way you wish it would is an insult to the people whose bodies you would treat as props. Ghandi's era was more complex than many of you make out. This is not the 60s either. Things change.

Offsets can't cut carbon *even in theory*

The whole point of offsets is to create permission to *not* cut carbon.

So when they don't even live up to their own standard, they are so much worse.

Joe the Antifa

And yet so many murder mysteries and procedurals

Love all these reminders

Which people should be watching a movie version of imperial violence?

Are we not seeing such violence now? shall we expect collective clarity to emerge like it does in a three-hour biopic?

The grad assistants! the grad assistants!

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

They keep cutting to his lectures and I can’t help but laugh

He describes a colleague as having “the crosshairs of Me Too tattooed on his forehead“ 😝

All the anti-woke/cancel culture/TERFy nonsense but he draws the line at sexual harassment thank goodness

Imagine that your claim to fame is “shunned by co-workers for liking chik-fil-a”

Omg he played that in a recent concert and joked about the time signature 😆

Stuart Hall took Thatcherism seriously & tried to understand its affective & aspirational appeal. Trumpism operates differently, as @cnewf.bsky.social notes, but the need to offer a cultural & political counter-strategy is key. I keep thinking about Hall’s adept use of new forms of media.

Deeply unserious

You didn’t actually have to do this shit.

Students talked about this today… the amount these coaches are paid when they’re fired

It seems like superhero allegiances + confederations aren’t fit for this, though… where would they focus their efforts? Would they simply dis-alive the fascist leaders or

This is also an interesting thought experiment for the marvel universe — like, they did the whole “how do we do the global governance/enforcement” thing in the civil war film

This isn’t a thing. He’s making shit up, very unconvincingly, I might add.

Actually watch the video.

Unreal.

Is someone screening Punishment Park without any person offering opening remarks or commentary? Omg omg

everyone around him seemed to know it was bad. Also I just learned the reason he thinks he became a gambling addict/started gambling and I’m like 👀

Obsessed with time signature

Every day Republicans are choosing to keep the government closed rather than lower your health care costs.
