β€œIs Vance or Rubio the true heir to MAGA?” Neither. Both will be completely toxic by the end of his term. Won’t be able to get elected dog catcher

Saturday, March 14th is the 2nd Annual Stuffed Animal Hospital at the Jumbo Jibbles studio. I love to sew and I love to share that skill with people, so come on by. 12pm-3pm at 1068 The Alameda in San Jose, CA.

This childhood photo of me makes me laugh but it’s also an excellent primary source for understanding that the 1970’s (and also the 80’s) were very, very brown

"surely the third democratic presidency to come to power after a norm-breaking and warcrime-cheering Republican administration will pursue justice against their predecessors," I repeat like a mantra til I collapse

I just watched this again and I'm even more confounded by Burt's reaction. He is the moral center of this movie. He's a principled artist, he's devoted to his wife, he genuinely loves his found family of misfits.

Another one of my favorites. It’s interesting tho, all members of Queen except the bassist did release solo albums, and they pretty much all… aren’t great. Here’s to collaboration youtu.be/0E2mjJvBKs8?...

Freddie Mercury was clearly untouchable but many of Queen’s best songs were sung by other band members. Roger Taylor, the drummer, could’ve easily fronted his own band youtu.be/oaEM4JYFPfw?...

β€œEverything We Do Matters.” Minneapolis’s Moon Palace Books is a Hub For Anti-ICE Resistance Angela Schwesnedl from Moon Palace Books in Minneapolis picked up my phone call on Saturday almost two hours to the minute after Alex Pretti was murdered in the street by ICE officers. β€œIf you have…

β€œOne of the things that I don’t think is getting talked enough about outside of Minnesota ... is how much this feels like ethnic cleansing. People are so afraid to go out and participate in public life regardless of their citizenship status. This isn’t about immigration.”

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Joe Biden's policy of let Israel do whatever it wants was terrible, this new policy of now we're committed to doing it all with them is worse

To most Americans this has come out of nowhere, and no compelling rationale has been given. I could see, if it all wraps up quickly, it not causing significant further damage to Trump's already crummy political standing, but if it drags on, it drags him further down with it

It's absolutely believable that this stupid war has been launched to prop up the failing MAGA government, Putin and Netanyahu have benefited politically from similar quagmires, but Trump is just too dumb and lazy to put in the smallest bit of effort to bring the country along with him

normal caveats about wealth measures vs GSP aside, we should not be surprised that the elite impunity political environment has been good economically for the people on top, and that all of this is not solely about getting to say slurs during business hours
