Mr. Mark He/Him 📚🌹🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸

As someone on the spectrum I am aghast at these fascists crediting my mom’s use of Tylenol rather than my own ingenuity and dedication.

Did you know the rapture mythos is rooted in antisemitic Christian Zionist propaganda?

“What happens in Lamar, will not stay in Lamar. The same people, organizations, & groups successfully lobbied the Texas legislature for laws they believe will make it easier to criminalize educators & librarians, & for them to remove books”

Sauron emerged from the primordial Middle Earth-devouring darkness of the venue’s green room with a deep sigh. After a rousing performance of his first song of the night, his eye filled with blood. You could hear a pin drop. Voice quaking, he said, “He died too young. This one’s for Charlie.”

At this point I can’t help but wonder if legacy media corporations are giving a glow-up to the fascist to win over the nebulous “middle” with a show of performative civility…or because they’re owned by frikkin billionaires who are in fact benefited by fascist policies. Never mind, it’s both.

Performative civility is off the charts.

Sadly, people who lack critical thinking skills never bother to question the obvious category error that leads to not classifying those persistent and systemic behaviors as political violence.

Putting myself in the Starbucks barista’s place, I’d probably be so exhausted and terrified of getting in trouble for losing a penny of the corporation’s money that I’d hallucinate “the take a penny tray is not to be used” because I work in a Kafkaesque hellscape where nothing makes sense.

I’m struck by how it’s all “feelings,” despite very much being analyses of leftism. It is an emotional testimony of impotence and horror drifting midstream into a highly cynical tactical analysis. It’s fine for emotions to motivate reasoning, but she should probably consider *how* they are doing so.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Thanks for the fact-check! ICE is already a thug arm of Trump—we don’t need misinfo.

You know the world is chill and definitely not facing a global rise of fascism when newly elected popes are saying stuff like “Evil will not prevail.”

An Augustinian in the Vatican? All I can say is: Watch your pears, cardinals…they’ll steal your pears.

RFK Jr.’s HHS Orders Lab Studying Deadly Infectious Diseases to Stop Research NIAID’s Integrated Research Facility is one of the few federal facilities charged with studying Ebola. Tuesday afternoon, all of its work was put on indefinite pause by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s departm...

Eliminating funding for the research of diseases such as Ebola seems to suggest that we're all very comfortable with people contracting, and spreading, Ebola without any access to treatment or cures.

State terror

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Of course not! Yeah, it’s best used for hats. Or sensory play! I currently have some plastic eggs hidden in their rolled oats, and oat dust feels lovely on the hands!

That family-sized Quaker Oats container looks great on your head!

I just don’t think you understand…

If you thought changing LCSH was bad, wait til we get a full-throated crony as the new head of the LOC.

Birds of Prey

you'll never be rid of him

They think “great, more shit to blame on minorities.”

DING DING DING

This is the "stock prices can be manipulated" part.

Report shows it’s largely officials and orgs demanding book bans - not parents Only 16 percent of book challenges came from parents themselves

A new report reveals the vast majority of those demanding book bans are organizations or officials — not individual parents.

It’s NOT a parent’s rights movement at all.

It’s an astroturf campaign that these orgs are using to gain power over Americans.

Elon’s sharing his ketamine.

Reminder: The Department of Government Efficiency is not a Department, no matter how much the media names it as such.

Also we have to make a better boy. Who’s working on this?
