Best gas masks “How did these people go out and get gas masks?” AG Bondi asked.

An article about this political moment, the role of journalism, and the very real dangers of state repression—told as a cheeky guide to buying a gas mask.

I’ve been sending it to everyone; it both delights and horrifies me.

Well done @sarahjeong.bsky.social

a paragraph from the linked Verge article that reads "The longer I wear the gas mask, the more the rubber seal presses against my skin. When it’s tight, it’s uncomfortable; when it’s loose, it slowly drags down and chafes the skin. I hate that you have to lean in real close in order to talk to people; I hate the vague sensation of being trapped inside a fishbowl. I also strongly suspect that the mask is not adequate protection against the particulates in tear gas from a health standpoint — I didn’t have a normal period for six months after the 2020 protests." i've highlighted the final line for emphasis

@theverge.com 's best gas masks article is so good not least because it's really nice to have someone talking about what tear gas and pepper spray do to periods www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

More nosferatu party girls

They don’t let interns run social media accounts this big anymore, but the employee running it deserves a raise and a medal!

Kristi Noem is telling ICE agents they can forcibly enter your home without a judicial warrant.

That is unconstitutional.

History will judge us if we do not stand up to the lawlessness and cruelty of this administration.

A graphic comparing two quotes: "Fuckin' bitch." ICE agent after Renee Good was shot and killed two weeks ago. "Boo hoo." Federal agent after a man was shot and killed today.

These monsters are sick.

Nor did it work for the 23 year old young woman walking alone to get seizure medicine. "I gave them my ID since they asked," said Ahmed, a U.S. citizen who has no documented criminal history in Minnesota. "I did everything they asked."

She was detained for 2 days.

Renee Good tried this tactic. Smiling, “I’m not mad at you bro”

Didn’t work.

Instead of just replying “shut the fuck up” or dunking on people, I’ve moved into my blocking era.

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

A picture of the book Cuckoo, my kitty for scale

I just finished Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin, and my queer (extreme) horror fans, please be assured that you need this one. It’s goopy, it’s messy, and best of all it’s filled with amazing queer characters fighting against anyone and anything in their way, including themselves. It whips.

More Black culture writers, please 💀

Maybe starving Americans can nourish themselves with another of Gavin Newsom's wry trump parody tweets!?

@samreich.bsky.social Every time Zach Reino starts singing on the karaoke episode of Game Changer, my toddler starts wildly applauding. Can you pls tell him that

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

why is Rob Louvre trending he hasn't done anything good since Parks & Rec

‘this is how we talk in our own spaces’ okay well maybe that’s why there’s a male loneliness epidemic lol

Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Back in my day, when a skeet went viral,you got tested.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.
