Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
They need Newsom’s social media team to make them sound authentic
Scooped by reality again. Oof.
Gripping thread
no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
a really useful thing that everyone with nimby inclinations in their souls could do right now is go ham on local land use/permitting issues against ice facilities and data centers
Used to frequent the stand in front of Cal Plaza. The fruteras in my Bay Area neighborhood are beloved too.
Exact same experience in my Bay Area city. The move-in rent didn’t seem like an amazing deal, but someone local would’ve clocked it as a rent stabilized unit, especially when the landlord kept mentioning the year it was built.
It all depends what the Mixed Cheese Dressing entails. But at the end of the day, it’s pasta, cheese, and tomatoes, so how bad could it be?
a girl gets tired of saying "we didn't have to get to this point" for 15 years so you'll have to excuse her if sometimes she says "WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN" in between giving you the roadmap she's been drawing all that time, similarly if you're the girl you can't just live in that resentment
NEW: Governor Newsom will be holding a press conference and rally at 11:30 AM PT tomorrow in Los Angeles regarding redistricting. The announcement is chef's kiss.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate. And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.
All of this
It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Patriarchy gives abusers the benefit of the doubt, and survivors the burden of proof.
This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Just a little shred of hope for the timeline.
Finally, in my #poppies series today... Blackford Observatory and Liberton Tower looking good with the poppies in the field on Braid Hill. #Edinburgh #liberton
We’re training a million Americans to lead a local resistance movement. This is how we dramatically ramp up defiance and non-cooperation tactics society-wide, whether it be at corporations, education, the media or neighborhoods. One Million Rising launches in three days and we hope you will join us.
"Jonathan Caravello...was reportedly “piled on by multiple agents all at once” as “he tried to help a man in a wheelchair” who was having difficulty moving after...[ICE] agents threw canisters of tear gas" our colleague is still missing as of the last info I got dailynous.com/2025/07/12/p...
Here's the real trouble with narcissists: the person they want to feel in control of is themselves. And they're not in control of themselves. So they desperately try to exert leverage over others to quiet their own demons. This is why you can never complete an agreement with a narcissist.

In her circles, it’s absolutely necessary for a woman to have god’s blessing on a divorce, see.
To understand why US science is currently being destroyed, take a close look at this: The "Abundance 2025" conference is being held in Sept. It is FILLED with rightwing money. Most notably the "Foundation for American Innovation," which is funded by billionaires that wish to privatize science. 1/

*Republicans* did this. Republicans.
Genocide: the intent to destroy a group due to their nationality, in whole or in part, by forcibly transferring children to another group. It’s in the genocide convention. Look it up.
"America First" means paying the people who refuse to do the jobs that need doing to arrest the people who are doing them. Every ICE Agent and prison guard could be out building houses or harvesting food, but they would rather kidnap and abuse the people doing the honest work they won't do.
Every time I see Karoline Leavitt on my screen… 🤣
Senator Murkowski cut a backroom deal to exempt Alaska from Medicaid cuts, but the Senate parliamentarian shut it down. Protecting your own state while harming millions elsewhere is selfishness and disgusting.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
"For Every Millionaire Household that Gets a Tax Cut, 19 Americans Lose Their Health Insurance Under Republican Bill that Doubles Uninsured Rate in Many States"
I'm still not over yesterday's obscene SCOTUS decision that our government can deport people to prisons in countries they're not from. How is anyone walking around going about their day?
On the 3rd anniversary of Roe v Wade being repealed, I have to say: if more people had been concerned about the subjugation of women THEN, we wouldn't be here being stripped of ALL of our rights now. Breaking a 50-year precedent of human rights was the canary in the coalmine 🐦 many people ignored.
Perfect symbiosis
OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex. I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.

Every single person with a legacy media platform that has been wrong about *everything* since Trump rode down that damn escalator is currently insisting that they're not wrong about this one thing that's happening right now

So “Stripes” was a lie? Another piece of my childhood dead.

HI ALL, this is a slightly larger version of my KingTaco Birthday Parade cartoon, feel free to print it out, download it, etc and make posters for tomorrow's No Kings Marches all over the US. If you use it, please send pics of it in the field!
Opinion | To stop Republicans from killing them, Democrats must look inward.
We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.
It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.
Thank you, Senator, for seeking answers.

this century started with a bunch of republican operatives rioting to stop the counting of votes, succeeding, and then proceeding to take over the supreme court to prop up an authoritarian, which really cuts against the idea that riots don't work
see you there!! @altspaceforce.altgov.info
Great list on fighting back authoritarianism.
Donald Trump is NOT our king — and on June 14th, it's up to us to prove it.

They will try to convince us that they are invincible, but they can be broken. Authoritarians always appear strongest just before they collapse. Resist everything. Create friction everywhere. Break the machine.
It’s gonna be a long wait
Your constituents engaged in peaceful protest and were met with "non-lethal" projectiles and chemical weapons banned by the Geneva convention. Journalists were harmed by ICE.
The contract on violence in America upholds that, first and foremost, it is white men who have the unquestionable right to use violence. And this violence is not to defend people, but to defend who and what they view as their property.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.
One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.
Elon, Big Balls and the rest of the DOGE bro incels never wanted to dismantle the “administrative state”. They wanted to own our data, invade our privacy, and destroy our fundamental freedoms in a dug-addled power grab made possible by simply kissing the ass of the Useful Idiot in Chief. It worked.
Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.
