I love the promise of my country. I wish we would start keeping it.

12.5 million. That's a lot of people marching. Direct action also continued where appropriate. For example, In Tukwilla, volunteers and lawyers acted to protect immigrants called to a surprise immigration check-in (one of the latest tactics used by ICE)

Good day

The illegal use of the Insurections act to Federalize the National Guard and the threat to send in Marines is frightening at best. When I said Trump is undemocratic and a danger to our country and our constitution, this is what I meant.

Be safe out there

Stonewall was a riot. One of the activities during the raids of police on the bar was checking the sex of patrons to enforce gender clothing standards. It's always been about our trans brothers and sisters.

Ok, my brain just did a silly. 86 47, but now he's TACO. I can't 86 tacos, that would just be wrong, so Let's go Taco!

Using FREE speech to deny the existence of people moves from disagreement to threats. The events at Cal Anderson were a reaction to those threats. The location of the rally was antagonistic and followed a very old script designed to provoke a response

We're here, we're queer, get used to it

It's Friday! Three-day weekend for a lot of us! How's things?

The single day boycott did not hit any retail hard enough. The sustained boycott of companies for eliminating dei policies on the other hand? Target just called out as a factor in their reduced profits this year

Performative vs effective protest

Hey, it's Friday!

Type I'm sorry for and let autocomplete do the things!
I'm sorry for not having a good time.

Doh

Speaking of baseball, I am glad @mlb.com has reinstated Pete Rose. Growing up, he was the player to idolize. His betrayal hurt, but his ban was for life. His accomplishments on the field are worthy of the HoF

"Reductio ad absurdum fails when reality is absurd."

XKCD's alt text today is priceless

"It's not corruption because I'm doing it in front of you" is a very interesting take

Oh hey. It's Friday. How's things?

When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest"

Mon Mothma

“The distance between what is said today and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.

Trump with a sith saber claiming to be "the rebellion"... xD

Today, we should remember the Chicano community and labor movement in California of the 60s and 70s. Cibco de Mayo is a celebration of their struggle and a reconnection forthem to their heritage.

Today, I remember their struggles then and their renewed struggles now

May the 4th be with you

Official pride events are having trouble finding funding due to pullback in corporate support in the current political climate. They were always rainbow washing. Pride may be smaller, but Pride is the people, not the party.

We're here, we're queer, get used to it

Whether workers of the world, the wheel turning towards longer days, Jonathan Coulton, or Thursday, it's May 1

And that's a recession. Are we winning yet?

Tonight I go see a Star War in the theater. Nostalgia will have the high ground, to be sure.

You know those buy now, pay later loans? People are having to use those to buy groceries. Installment plans to pay grocery bills. So much winning

The oblivion graphics on the remaster are wild

When you attack judges for checking your power, you prove why checks on power exist in the first place.

Oh, hey! It's Friday. How's things?
