Spelling aside, all the good, real New Yorkers will hang.
Don't threaten me with a good time.

A sad day.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

Wow. That's so amazing.

I haven't seen the show and the trailer made no sense to me. I wasn't even sure it wasn't an AI prank.

Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.

Let this not be a jinx.

They are going to target social media platforms too. When they do, censorship will rapidly escalate.

Prepare to inform your followers to move to alternatives (Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Flashes, Skylight Social). Share why you’re leaving and where you’re going.

This will be vital for resistance.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper"

How Did Republican Fashion Go From Blazers to Belligerence? Trump and his cronies’ style reflects a platform where grievance is currency and performance is power.

I wrote something for The Nation about how Republican style has changed over the last fifty years.

But first, let me tell you a short story. 🧵

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison.

But...

/11 One day the Trumpists will fall. Something has to emerge from that. I'd prefer it be an honest and accountable rule of law, one actually run on principles and not on luxury motor homes, rather on the whim of some other group of strongmen.

That's really lovely. I can almost taste the rain.

Yikes!
