If the “big tent” includes bigots, they’ll just push the non-bigots out of the tent. How have we not figured this out yet?

Fuck this turd.

Matthew Rhys was at my bar about a year ago. Got to chat with him for a minute. Absolute sweetheart.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

“Why do people have to live outside? Why?”

We run a monthly D&D live event at the bar. The demographics skew HEAVILY in the direction of “not cis straight white guys.” And those of us that are there understand that the TTRPG landscape is soooooo much better off for that fact.

SUCH a fun movie!

Politicians can never fail, they can only be failed.

Has anyone started calling him “Fettermaine” yet? Stupid fucker.

we need ranked choice voting everywhere, as fast as possible. the ratchet effect of "you have to choose the second-worst choice" would be vaporized

Downtown Los Angeles: avoid this guy

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Fuck this ghoul and anyone who would willingly count him among their cohort.

BARBARA IS SCHEDULED TO BE ILLEGALLY DEPORTED TOMORROW! WE MUST CALL LOUISIANA NOW! Mike Johnson (337) 423-4232 Bill Cassidy (318) 448-7176, (337) 261-1400 John Kennedy (337) 269-5980 "Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I am calling about Barbara Marques, currently detained in Louisiana. A federal court has officially acknowledged a motion to reopen Barbara's case. This means she has legal protection from deportation until the judge rules. Deporting her now would be illegal under U.S. law. Despite this, ICE has scheduled her deportation for 1969 tomorrow and already moved her to the Alexandria staging facility. This action violates the law and must be stopped. I am demanding that you intervene immediately, contact ICE, and ensure Barbara is returned to the South Louisiana facility while her case is pending. Please do your duty to uphold the law and stop this unlawful deportation."

They’re friends of the bar and Barbara is the sweetest person in the world. The hell she and others are being put through is flat-out evil.

Tucker and Barbara are friends of the bar and the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet. The treatment she has described is beyond inhumane. ICE are dehumanizing monsters.

Los Angeles man demands answers after wife was detained at scheduled green card meeting A man is speaking out and asking for help after his wife was detained by federal agents at the end of a scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles in early September.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

Hell yeah. Atsuko performed at the bar once and was super cool. Just a genuinely decent, funny person.

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

The response to Kirk’s death has neatly folded into the broader fascist purge of journalist, educators and artists.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

the way the right keeps obsessively trying to blame this shooting on trans people is deeply sick and incredibly dangerous, and powerful people and institutions turning a blind eye to it are complicit

just leave them alone

There's someone in a Reddit thread about the Charlie Kirk responses and his trolling response is to call him Charles Entertainment Kirk and it's the most perfect way to infuriate folks without doing anything wrong

losing my mind at this dispatch from the college roommates group chat

Finally looked up Achewood. Laughed so hard my cats ran for cover.

Now that I have your attention:
