Jared Diamond gets so much flack for "Guns, Germs and Steel" allegedly being geographic deterministism, yet you never hear anyone complain about the fact that astrology is completely deterministic. Somehow, people think having their personal characteristics set in stone is fun

Calling members of a religious minority in the Middle East deceptive and untrustworthy. Where have we seen this before?

Anti-Arabism and Islamophobia is just the same old antisemitism put to a new use to malign a different group of people

Popped open "The Ethical Slut" in a cafe only for Mambo No. 5 to stay playing. So here I am reading about polyamory while Lou Began tells me how he has a little bit of Monica in his life and a little bit of Erica by his side. Is Lou Bega an ethical slut?

What the hell is this fucking email?!

Key phrase here is "on me."

Egypt has absolutely imposed Islamic rules on the Christian minority, like when they slaughtered all their pigs during the swine flu.

I'm sure there are plenty of examples of the Knesset imposing religious rules on Christian and Muslim Palestinian-Israelis.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.

Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Congress hasn't been awake at any point this century. Their inability to perform their duties is one of many factors that contributed to the rise of authoritarianism in this country

Of course his mom had to come bail him out.

For all the talk on the right about being a tough, independent man and a system of law and order, it's all fake. Just like Elon's mom has to come defend him on TV, this guy's mom had to come talk to the orange man to get him out of twouble.

What a cuck.

I can absolutely believe that music can be powerful enough to pierce the veil of time and space.

What I don't buy is that you could convert a barn into a functional music venue in a single day. In *Mississippi*

I can believe in the supernatural, but I draw the line at Southern efficiency #sinners

I'm not letting someone from a family famous for poor mental health tell me what's wrong with my mental health. His aunt was lobotomized and locked up for most of her life. Let's talk about that for a second

Where can I see the full film?

That pathological drive to be seen as "enough" is driving white men (and a few women too) to destroy their country in a vain attempt to satisfy their ego.

Someone will be king of the ashes, but whoever it is, it won't be enough for them. The sick desires of a parasite can never be fulfilled.

Thank you! I wish people would stop believing in the incompetence narrative. What this administration is 100% intentional. They understand our institutions perfectly well. They just want to destroy them.

Reduce, reuse, recycle in that order.

Most of what you recycle ends up in a landfill anyway.

This isn't a bug. It's a feature. Social media explicitly and deliberately exploits anxiety to produce profits through advertising and addictive algorithms.

Conservatives like to talk tough, but they're also afraid of trains and people that don't look like them.

I'd say stop talking about culture war bullshit like pronouns, but what else does the right have to offer besides authoritarian rule

We the People showed up today in DC for the Hands Off Protest.

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

Protest this weekend in DC on the National Mall. There will be cherry blossoms too 🌸✊

WaPo reporting on Tim Walz using Gmail right when the Trump Administration is trying to shy away from SignalGate is such a clear example of the corporate-owned media in action.

If Bezos wants to fuck the American people, he'd better pay for dinner. Otherwise, we'll go full praying mantis on him.

BLM rushes review of Oregon lithium project following Trump’s executive order A proposed Southeast Oregon mine’s been under review for three years. Now the Trump administration is giving people four days to comment before proceeding.

Trump getting ready to tear up Southeast #Oregon to mine lithium on federal lands, leading to massive pollution. Submit comments before Monday

You dems better standup and stop this unnecessary destruction.

A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.

Police in Istanbul pepper spray a dervish of the Mevlevi Order during protests in Istanbul.

By the end of the Ottoman Empire, the Mevlevi Order was very integrated with the state.

This image flips that, with the state now attacking the dervish, who believes love is the core of Islam.

Be aware of your surroundings when you're at protests. Look at other people, what they're wearing, and what that says about their intentions.

Regardless, it's important to show up and take up space. Call your friends and go together. Make up your own chant and sing it loud so you can't be ignored.

Don't buy Tesla stock. As long as Elon owns it, there is no price low enough that will satisfy the protestors. That company has to go down

Waving paddles in the air doesn't count, Hakeem. Strongly worded letters and court motions don't count either. It's time to bring out the big guns, literally.

Get a judge to deputize an armed group to enforce their ruling by force. Take up the fight!!
