Amazing! Thank you. He died the next month, I see.
Will not obey. Happy warrior against fascism wherever I come across it. If you are unwilling to endure discomfort and inconvenience to fight fascism, you aren’t really opposed to fascism. Community is the cure for tyranny.

If you’ve ever compared unvaccinated kids to vaccinated kids, you’ve seen the former are more likely to die.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Define “fairer”, Governor. 🤔 This video is as good an ad for California’s #YesOnProp50 campaign as you’ll see.
the Nazis literally tried to discover Atlantis because they thought Atlanteans were aryans and would prove German racial superiority Fascism has always been anti-intellectual and full of pseudoscience
Sweet googly, those thighs 🤤

*Stunning* artwork by these two.

#Music is the greatest & oldest educational tool. It was how we started to contain and pass on knowledge. It was the memory tool, it was the book before the book. It was the lessons from the elders. Listen. This is where we are. Threat Level Orange Earth to Eve youtu.be/HpNDaMc02Eg?...
You lose credibility with me when you post ai generated pictures. If I see another one I will have to block you.
I know, but hope springs eternal.
Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023. The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion. That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?
Courage is contagious, and solidarity is essential.
I’ll throw in a prayer too if it will *help*.
“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Useful technology for storing renewable energy and using it to heat buildings. We need to stop burning necrofuels yesterday, folks.
We aren’t going to win against systems of oppression by simply replacing cognitive bias against successful women with cognitive bias in support of successful women. I used to enjoy Taylor Swift, but it seems she’s just perfectly happy being one of the oligarchs now, so I’m over her. 👎
I finally read computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1976 classic “Computer Power and Human Reason.” This book deserves a massive revival in our current age of grotesque and largely thoughtless AI creep into everything:
A United States Army veteran shows up to the protest against Trump‘s military occupation of Washington DC. He is heartbroken over the misuse of military personnel in our nation’s capital.

“HHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNHHHHHNNNHH” was the only accurate thing that came out of his mouth in the entire video. 😆
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

You’re joking about Tylenol not being at fault, right? Regardless, a company doing something responsible when they ARE at fault is still something we would never see today.
Oh no. I don’t know what you are talking about, but it sure sounds bad.
I hope his hands are ok 🙂

Yes. But Biden and the Dems could have refused to fund this particular escalation of Israeli violence and genocide of the Palestinians.
Joe Biden and the rest of the Dems in power when this started could have and should have prevented this. Everyone needs to stop making excuses.

This isn’t war; this isn’t two military forces battling. This is one military force, funded by the US and others, attempting to kill off all the people of Gaza. This is genocide.
Watch the moment Gaza's Nasser Hospital was attacked twice by Israel, resulting in the deaths of at least 15 Palestinians, including five journalists. Paramedics responding to the initial strike were targeted in a second attack while aiding the wounded.
Power does not come from a strongly worded letter.
So must support Mamdani, right? The DEMOCRAT who won the *Democratic* primary election for mayor of New York? You’re one of the good Dems who votes blue no matter who, right?
No, he didn’t say he’s against spending money on “foreign wars”, he said he was opposed to “endless wars and bombing children”. And specifically in the fundraising text I got he asks: “Why are we funding Netanyahu's genocide in Palestine?” Given his stance against oligarchs, he’s no fan of Putin.
Remember this? Read it again. Slowly. "We are in the process of a second America Revolution, which will remain BLOODLESS if the left allows it to be" That is 💯 a threat. This is THEIR American Revolution. We are in the fight for our lives. Understand that. Because we got shit to do
Attorney General Pam Bondi said today: "Justice will be pursued. Always.” Reminder Bondi was the Attorney General in Florida from 2011 and 2019 where she refused to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein despite his child sex ring taking place in her state. She also has engaged in a cover up of Epstein's files.
I believe they have to call themselves “sigma males” to explain how they *should* be alpha males but no one actually likes them or wants to be around them, but that’s only just because they are *too* cool and masculine.
When you have a skinny neck, but it’s also still wider than your head.
“Our children”? This guy does not have any children. I would bet all my money he does not have children and probably has never even spoken to one.
I'm in Texas. I’ve stopped all of my regular donations to Dem organizations because they are fighting harder against progressives than they are fighting against fascism. I signed up to give monthly to this Democrat running for Senate in Maine. @grahamformaine.bsky.social www.grahamforsenate.com
Congratulations!
I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.
I love her!
I hope a lot of these ICE goons watch this and realize they endanger themselves when they mask up to torment others just trying to live their lives. Maybe it would just be better to go to therapy?
Aren’t all Israeli citizens forced to serve in the Israeli military?
ALL THROUGH the 2015-2016 campaign cycle I was screaming into the void for a journalist to ask Trump if he had ever gone grocery shopping. Ever. Describe the experience.
Congratulations! Would love to read the paper. Sorry they didn’t use this cool art!
How does one even end up with and ill-fitting three-piece suit?

If you’re more outraged at CBS cancelling Colbert than at Netanyahu killing 232 journalists in Gaza while enforcing an international media blackout then it isn’t freedom of press you’re defending it’s your personal comfort TV program.
"Speaking the truth that somebody wants you not to publish is journalism. Everything else is marketing." - Oscar Wilde
Hmm, what do ‘central camps’ and ‘final plan’ remind you of? 🤷🏽♂️👇🏽
Exactly!
Lmaoo
“Hamas” is not a specific entity.
Your definition of “winning” is truly f-ed.
Israeli forces killed more Palestinians waiting for food at aid sites over the weekend, as it continues to starve the population of Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are complicit in this bloodbath. We must stop all military assistance to Israel.
New Yorkers—as you watch the horrific images of kids starving to death in Gaza, remember 3 things: 1. Netanyahu is enabling this starvation, can stop it, & won’t 2. Cuomo has voluntarily joined Netanyahu’s legal team to defend his war crimes 3. Mamdani say he’ll to arrest Netanyahu if he visits NYC
The people who cannot are people who see themselves benefitting from those things in one way or another.
Thank you for the story. A more honest edit would replace a lot of those “war”s with “genocide”.
Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF
This isn't a normal DOJ It's been corrupted weaponized and turned into an organized crime syndicate! 👇🏼🤨

Yup. AND I’m betting they are going to be used to run people down the next time we attempt to mass protest.
😆 I love your example of running a surplus.
Great. Is everyone trying to move to Kentucky? What’s good about living in Kentucky? What good is done for the people/nature/other animals of Kentucky with all that tax money?
The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check. That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year. If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.
Thank you
At the end of his Angelus prayer on Sunday from Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV called again for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urged the international community to “observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians.”
This is so gross. Austin tried to ban this, and then the state interfered and said Austin was not allowed to ban it, no?
Stunning
Exactly. Just protecting the system for the sake of the system is called “conservatism”. We need progress.
This is a woman speaking before the DISD (Dallas, TX). She is asking the school board to prohibit ICE from going on to school campuses. THIS is a perfect example of how we can be fighting back against this hate filled regime. Our neighbors are NOT our enemies.
Absolutely. No price is too high for the feeling of relief from accountability for those who are incapable of accepting accountability.

If it’s any consolation, I was raised on libertarianism and Ayn Rand and support for the GOP, and now I am FAR left, and have even brought one of my Gen X Republican sisters over to our side in the last 5 years ☺️

LOVE James Talarico!!!! 👏👏👏 A phenomenal person and phenomenal communicator.
In my 40s I’ve finally reached the age where I will happily say: “No, I understand that. I do not need your explanation.”
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
This is beautiful. Working at a shelter, I see how desperate and devastated the majority of people who abandon/relinquish their dogs are. We can tell these stories without vilifying the humans (especially when we don’t know them) & show understanding instead. Guarantee they were let down as well.

ICE now has a larger budget than most of the world’s militaries. A reminder that police have only ever *responded* to alleged crime, but a living wage, food & water security, & accessible healthcare have always *prevented* crime. So if you want safer communities, invest in people—not punishments.
This friggin’ thing is broken!!
Good. Thank you so much for following up with this story. I have continued to think about it ever since I heard of the initial tragedy.
Posting this again.
Yep. This is a picture of a society that has officially failed.
Volvo? Dang it. Going to have to read up on that.
Enjoyed seeing How to Train your Dragon tonight. I know I’m late to the party, but I saw the Viking/Dragon dynamic as a very poignant allegory for Israel/Palestine — and the Queen Dragon is capitalism. All power to the people (including dragons) ✊
