This came to mind when I saw a band I liked had ugly ass shirts. You know you have a cool shirt when people who don’t know who you are wear your shit

I completely understand why peope wear heavy metal t-shirts without being into the band. The images are rad! And as long as your beloved artist is getting money and attention then you celebrate it!

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

Also how classically American for me to think it’s about us

Light a candle or light a fuse! We need that fire!

Sign of hope about the breaking of American complacency (if the data is correct) - bsky.app/profile/chen...

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Charley Crockett is the real deal. Incredibly charismatic performer and writes songs smooth as hell

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Trickle-up economics.

I remember going to your signing in Atlanta and thinking “I like her books and her looks!” I really do try to think beyond my stupid, superficial boy brain but I did have to get a front row seat

This is a great example of why wrestlers need to unionize

Right-wing media figures are furious at activists for using whistles during ICE activity Right-wing media figures are lashing out at community members in Minnesota for using whistles to alert others of federal immigration enforcement in the area, asserting that whistles should be “conside...

Trump supporters are claiming that whistles should be “considered a violent weapon,” that their use constitutes “interference” with immigration enforcement operations or even “assault.”

In other words—the rapid response networks are working. The whistles are working.

Let no one tell you otherwise.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

The core of Trump's project is an attempt to destroy the possibility of virtue itself.

They seek to normalize brutality, to accustom us to servility and cruelty. Their goal is to mass-produce a new kind of human being: selfish, rapacious, and motivated chiefly by hatred.

To care is to fight. 🖤🏴

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Imagine being at a convention centered on “Creature from the Black Lagoon” and you’re the nerdiest-looking person in a group photo

Like fucking clockwork.

"What do you want dems to do? They don't have the power!"

THEY JUST VOTED IN MORE FUNDING FOR ICE YOU FUCKING GOLDFISH

While ICE terrorizes our communities, private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic are raking it in.

They of course have been some of Trump's biggest donors.

Cashing in on cruelty.

It’s fascinating to see how many people are quick to defend the Democratic Party in these comments as if this was their sole mistake in 150 years. While marginally better than the GOP it is still a pro-policing, pro war, capitalist buttress

But I’m not absolving myself. I’m a part of this system and participate in it. That means I am both oppressed and benefited by it

For example, I have IRAs that I am counting on growing to assist me housing and medical costs into retirement because we lack quality public housing and healthcare

If something or someone I love is bombed by another country I’m going to first blame my relatives who have supported this regime from the start

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

It's just always so cheap. I suppose it wouldn't be any better if they truly committed, but these Party City displays of mock opulence just really underscore how stupid and vapid this all is for me.

This short is so effectively unsettling. Like its visuals & sounds are DESIGNED to make you experience anxiety.
Which I think is the best way to adapt Poe. To do justice to his style of first-person horror.

People who hate their own birthdays or Christmas or any other day: Childish, not to be taken seriously.

Me hating NYE: Correct. Perhaps the most vindicated person in human history?

I think my most minor interaction would be when I sold Andre 3000 a used Paul Rundgren VHS when I worked at a video store

As of this morning 4,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. Don’t cross their picket line.

No Starbucks. NO Starbucks gift cards!

And yet they want us to buy into their “Big Tent” bullshit
