If I see you in scrubs on public transit and you don't move out of the accessible seats for people with mobility aids, please know that I hope you fail your degree or get fired, because you suck at sympathy

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

Every time I see one of these stories I think about how liberals insisted on recasting Black history, Black lives, and Black stories as “diversity”

‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./

Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hundreds gather to criticize Trump, Musk’s spending cuts at ‘Takedown Tesla’ protest Protestors marched down Michigan Avenue and past a Tesla dealership in Streeterville, chanting “Elon Musk has got to go.”

Hundreds of people gathered downtown Saturday afternoon to protest President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s government spending cuts, carrying signs that read “Launch Musk to Mars” and “Democracy Dies with DOGE.”

Trump orders a ‘pause’ of US military aid for Ukraine President Donald Trump is seeking to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to engage in peace talks with Russia by pausing military aid to Ukraine.

Last week’s staged disrespect of Zelenskyy was a pretext for Donald Trump’s effort to appease Vladimir Putin.

Abandoning allies, bowing down to dictators, and putting democracy at risk – all to what end?

This isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.

Hi friends,

Measles isn’t just a rash and fever.

Even a mild case can erase years of acquired immunity, leaving you vulnerable to infections.

It’s a gateway to severe illness long after recovery.

⚠️ BREAKING:

U.S. 🇺🇸 reports 3.199 million new COVID-19 cases in a single week, with 457,000 daily infections.

Currently, 1 in every 105 Americans is infected with COVID-19.

Transmission rates are now higher than at any point during 43.3% of the pandemic.

Live updates: Trump cuts short talks with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy after Oval Office blow up Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Donald Trump in Washington, seeking backing for Ukraine's security against any future Russian aggression.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.

Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.

This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Dolly Parton Calls Out Indiana Gov Over Plan to Dump Her Imagination Library The country singer started the “Imagination Library” nearly 30 years ago to encourage early literacy.

I’m not surprised but also you should know better than to mess with Dolly.

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

Philly says Phuck Phascism.

Remember This

Love to see it!

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Apologies for posting so often but there's so much going on. The personal stories coming out are gut wrenching and deserve to be heard.

JFC indeed.

Great reminder to keep physical media, not just of important things, but silly goofy things too 💜

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.
