The Geordi from Star Trek meme where he’s against the top thing but is really into the bottom thing. This one says Things he doesn’t like: "Do Not Comply In Advance" bossy already a cliche implies permission to comply later And the stuff he likes says “"Fuck You, Make Me" leads by example directs yelling at opposition instead of allies easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

💥 BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.

I’m not sure how many times this has to happen for people to get it.

If a 78-year-old George W. Bush appointee can school DOJ and DOD on anti-trans discrimination, maybe we should expand our definition of what’s possible — and then act on it.

@joshweil.bsky.social is beating Randy Fine in a new poll! He’s running on Medicare-for-all in a Trump +30 district and might actually win.

Bonus 134: What Executive Orders Can (and Can't) Do President Trump's ominous new executive order on election administration is constrained by the limits on what an executive order can directly accomplish, especially outside of the executive branch.

Today’s bonus issue of “One First” uses Tuesday’s executive order on elections to illustrate what a President can (and, as importantly, *can’t*) do through an executive order—and how major media organizations should do better in reporting on them:
