This is a good and important thread. I have been around a LOT of veterans who know these fascist fucks are evil. I meet them every goddamn weekend when I’m doing immigrant outreach. Have the humility to know what you don’t know.

Some of them are also people who are in neither of those camps and are sincerely patriotic, it’s worth remembering

I swear to fucking god every single day they do something that shocks me anew.

So, so very old 👵🏻

I mean, pulling together a speech this carefully phrased when you’re put on the spot? What’s that saying about needing to be twice as good…?

This is really fucking offensive.

Calling your reps and senators can feel really nerve racking at first. We actually did an episode about this on How to Save a planet which I cannot fucking find but an easy solution is to do it with a friend.

The more you do it the less stressful it gets.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

I am going to do some weeding today because I need to get out of my head and away from the news so that I can keep doing the work to support my immigrant friends and neighbors and my neurodivergent and trans students. Even having coffee on the sofa feels like a sin today

He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.

Step into your mom power! It’s amazing when you realize you can correct young people in public and they’ll listen to you (and maybe one or two of them are wishing an adult would do exactly that)

OMG right?!? My version of that is wanting a toothpaste that isn’t mint flavored (stings my tongue) and has fluoride. Tom’s is like $7 a tube, which is ridiculous.

As someone who likes to cook and also bulk bins and such the woo side of hippie grocery stores is always painful

I’ve been thinking this for days

Plus you know, Black man with a national platform, it’s so UNFAIR

No it’s ppl playing leftier than thou 🙄

I always assume this means “mail room”

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.

In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

This is great, I really look forward to my insurance company using this to decide if they’ll pay for treatment.

This is one of the big reasons why I teach where I do (private high school). I would never be able to work someplace that expected me to follow a scripted curriculum.

Today I took a swig from the water bottle that lives on my desk, which is in a shed that also contains the washer and dryer, and there was something… solid in the water. It felt kinda fuzzy. I kept teaching until I had a chance to subtly remove it.

It was a spider.

Yea! And I’m also aware of the side effects of not having reliable birth control, which include things like preeclampsia, placenta previa, gestational diabetes…

Omg so fun

I mean that works for Dowd

I’m also reminded of the way LAPD would pick people up, and then drop them off in rival hoods.

“I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love!”

Literally.

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House. Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022. The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...
