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"

anyways, great news! (1/X)

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection.

They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

An image of a quadrant graph with stupid on the X axis and evil on the Y axis, and a dot plot of various Trump administration cabinet members classified with blue dots for wankers, red dots for fiends, and green dots for goons.

With so many wankers, fiends and goons in the Trump regime, we need a chart to keep track of them all.

As ever, data quality matters at altCDC.

Who’s more stupid than evil? More wanker than goon?
Did we get these right?
Who are we missing?

The vibe at #GoogleIO was so subdued this year. It felt really strange compared to previous years.

Women and girls are literally under attack and the narrative that men and boys are struggling in comparison to them is part of that attack. Their “struggle” as it’s so often harped on is that women and girls aren’t just bending the knee to them in all spheres of life

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

so i've been honing my approach and i've landed on the optimal way to interact with cybertruck drivers: give them an enthusiastic thumbs up first, before dramatically turning it upside down and scowling. did it this morning and watched the light leave a man's eyes. very powerful

Look if we’re ignoring Supreme Court rulings then every American woman has a right to an abortion again

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere. People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.

It's amazing that more than 5 million Americans protested today! They flooded the zone so we flooded the streets! 🇺🇸

#HandsOff #resist

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

In front of The Embrace, a sign that reads "Boston beating kings since 1775." There are three red circles with lines through them over a British crown, the LA Kings logo and Donald Trump’s hair.

Fun fact: the Boston Tea Party was a protest against tariffs. Not sure this is technically true.

Massachusetts still hates kings 250 years later on one sign. On the other it reads 1 if by land, 2 if by sea, 3 if by Cybertruck

A man with a Ukrainian flag draped over his shoulders holds a sign that says "How many Tesla should we throw into Boston Harbor"

Boston loves a Revolutionary War reference @ #HandsOff Boston

The importance of these protests isn’t necessarily that they are sending a message to the “people in power.”

It’s sending a message to other people that WE have the power.

Hmm. Seems a few people showed up to the Hands Off protest in DC

And yes, some of the signs? Epic.

I was the one with the HUD sign but holy cannoli the resting place of the founding fathers is COVERED in protest signs. Pretty surreal 👀 #HandsOff #Boston

#HandsOff San Diego. Trains packed! A good sign ... and many more when we got downtown.

really into this new collaborative art installation

Boston proper is 655k – so if this is right, a group of folks equivalent to 15% of the city showed up, which is WILD(ly encouraging)
