The only turkey we're having at my house.

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

This is my 4th time around the wheel and I'm so fucking tired of having to double my effort to amass 1/8th of the buying power my parents had.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

Happy Halloween

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

At Charlie Kirk's posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony yesterday (dead podcaster wins prize) Trump gave a long speech....which of these things do you think I made up?

1. He talked about how fit Kirk's wife is
2. He compared Kirk to MLK
3. He bragged that he dodged his bullet but Charlie didn't

No, they didn't. (read up on her, she's a Trump wanna-be. Rubio even wrote a letter nominating her for the Peace Prize.)

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

I truly believe the Rapture happened in 2016 but only Bowie, Prince, and Carrie Fisher made the cut.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

A screenshot of a post by the Jane Goodall Institute on LinkedIn stating that they learned that Dr. Goodall passed away due to natural causes in California while on her speaking to her current speaking tour there.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

For people wondering what she said afterwards

This Day in Labor History: September 18, 1873. The firm of the railroad monopolist and financier Jay Cooke collapsed, sparking the Panic of 1873. This sparked the first global depression in the history of industrial capitalism. Corporate greed threw huge numbers of Americans out of work!

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

On holding multiple truths: Miller says the administration will use Kirk's death to dismantle leftist orgs, and people are being targeted professionally. The people who said this would be used against folks were right. AND there were also already plans to dismantle leftist orgs (see Project Esther).
