It's ironic that the people most responsible for getting us to this moment are now like "oh this is too far for me." very strange.

Exactly this

Senator Marsha Blackburn tagging a public university for a facebook post where a professor share's Kirk's comments saying gun deaths are worth it.

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

Fuck canon. Read widely, read what you like. Stay curious.

And do your art.

Health Experts Speak Out After RFK Jr. Eliminates $500 Million In mRNA Vaccine Contracts He is a danger to us all.

This man is a danger to us all.

When opportunists agree to work for fascists and then later get fired by those fascists, that's not a sign of principle that merits praise. Trump and RFK Jr have made it plain that they are pursuing a eugenicist agenda. I have no respect for anyone who decides to join them.

"It's unfortunate that I willingly voted to give control of the nation's health systems to a eugenicist conspiracy theorist who will kill countless Americans, but shit happens."

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Ditch tariffs, tax the ultrawealthy above 80% after their first $10M. It worked in the 50s and 60s and gave us the biggest economic boom in world history.

A thing I think we miss is that the “authoritarian playbook” isn’t a set of instructions authoritarians are reading from, it’s just a list of things that happen when narcissists get too much power.

Tamara posted a couple of days ago about more of us admitting "we don't have the answer even as we continue to resist." She added: "A lot of us, understandably, really don’t have the answer or a plan for dealing with this repression and it’s okay to admit that even as we fight for our lives."

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

He is really a brilliant comic.

‘Yes, I am with you, Master,’ said Sam, laying Frodo’s wounded hand gently to his breast. ‘And you’re with me. And the journey’s finished. But after coming all that way I don’t want to give up yet. It’s not like me, somehow, if you understand.’
