These dipsh*ts feel like they literally got this idea from the 70’s Superman movie. No imagination. You have all this actual power and your microscopic brain can only think “how can I serve my own incredibly frail ego?”

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

I agree on the darker alley and clearer view. It’s like it frames the view more.

I think I know exactly where both of these were taken!

Bless her heart.

Are you now or have you ever been ….

An ant crosses your carpet. A spider weaves a pattern older than mammals beneath your stairs. Just nod, breathe, and think, “Good. It’s all still here. The forest, the mountains, the desert. At home in my home.” The sterile white box is the stranger. Not the ant. Not the spider.

Last time I’ll vote for you. DOGE is an illegitimate advisory board. As your constituent, I’m sad to see you’re legitimizing it.

Stuffing a turkey is wrong because it’s much harder to cook the stuffing to a safe temperature, as well as the bird. Peta is right. Just not in the way they think.

Our strength is in our number, in our communities, and true power lies with the people.
The age of power OVER others is gone. This is the age of power
THROUGH others.
Find your people. Love wildly, spread joy. We are not going anywhere. /End

Every state, every region has its own culture and its own voice. Getting everyone to sign on to the same playbook of fear and hatred is going to be a far far more laborious undertaking than in a small European state with only 70 million inhabitants no digital media, and no real opposition party. /6

If you are queer, or brown, disabled, or indigenous, your existence and visibility is a radical act of defiance. Also unlike Germany in 1942, the US is MASSIVE. With 50 states, and 337.5 million residents. we do not have one single unifying culture, we are many. /5

Just remember that he has the slimmest majority rule in a century. And that half the country actively disapproves of him before he's even taken office. Resistance looks like living your life, and loving loudly those they try to demonize. /4

protestors will be arrested, the military turned against "internal enemies of the state." And ethical journalists and influencers will be intimidated and silenced.
All this will be an effort to turn America into a one-party state: the party of Trump. /3

the next four years is bound to see a massive outpouring of patriotic imagery from his administration. Military parades, mandatory flag waving and pledges of allegiance.
Any attempt to protest or take a knee will be (has already been) framed as being un-American. In the regime of Feuer Trump, /2

When Hilter took over Germany it was effectively a one-party state, you were either a member of the nationalist-socialist party or disloyal.
Trump does not HAVE a one-party country. But just as he turned the republican party into the party where you are either FOR him or a disloyal Republican, /1

I feel exactly the same way about the California coast down here. I never get enough time by the water.

BEAUTIFUL shot!! I love the long exposure. I love seeing how the water moves along the sand and how presence impacts the flow of the water. What a gorgeous nature shot!

Brussels via google street view.

Same spot photographed by me in 2022 after pedestrianization was completed.

Cities aren’t crowded. They’re just full of cars.

Uncle George, I don't think Sesame Street is on National Public Radio, did you mean PBS? I wouldn't consider that safe either, but also I'm pretty sure HBO/MAX owns Sesame Street now.

Screenshot of website article with headline that reads: Bathroom bans harm all women because they reduce people down to their appearance

Bathroom bans and policies don’t do what they purport to do 👎

The argument is they're created to 'protect women', but they usually do the opposite. 

To turn a phrase, they stink all round 🚽 Here's why 🧵by @jamiewareham.co.uk

Also also, let’s not forget Black Panther, who says “huh,… cousin Kill Monger’s methods were cruel, but the problem he identified was real. I’m going to adjust Wakanda’s policies to address this massive inequity I was formerly blind to because of my privilege.”

Seriously, for a while now we have villains who accurately identify a real problem in the real world and their solution is to wipe out half the population or destroy humanity to save the planet and the hero’s essentially just want to … keep things the way they are.

Why is it that being naked in the rain isn’t nearly as fun as one would think it would be?

Rep. Nancy Mace confronted by transgender activist during panel event At an internet summit, Fight for the Future’s Evan Greer stood up and condemned Mace’s anti-trans rhetoric.

Be clear about WHY I spoke up: not to convince grifters like Nancy Mace, but to spark conversation in the tech advocacy space. Are we going to cozy up to authoritarians to "find common ground?" Or are we going to build a meaningful resistance to tech-enabled fascism? www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...
