I just experienced a moment where I thought I was going crazy and seeing double, but apparently it’s just a twins meetup at the playground.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified Four IT professionals lay out just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government could be.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s historyβ€”at least that’s publicly known."

Sometimes I wish cats were in charge. There would be a lot more snuggles and naps and probably an equal amount of chaos.

We’re midway through our Twin Peaks rewatch and damn this show is so much better that I remembered. Younger me did not fully appreciate the brilliance (and humor) of David Lynch.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

As a trans person, I have no great faith that cis people will stand up for my rights, but I do have this warning:

If you let them revoke our passports you are signaling that they can revoke yours, or anyone else's, if it becomes expedient.

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
