I’m an executive in the adult novelty industry in the Bay Area who is very curious especially about science and cosmology. I love to play pool and try new things and foods.

Meet SJ Joslin, the trans wildlife biologist and park ranger at Yosemite National Park, who flew a transgender flag at El Capitan back in May and was was fired even though nothing she did was illegal. She says DON’T GIVE UP. She’s incredibly courageous. 💗
📌Republicans are bringing back polio and measles, and defending child rape, and we're actually wondering if this will affect their chances at the polls ...

“In 2017, O’Hanlon was captured at Trump’s first inauguration festivities in DC decked out in his full Eagle Scouts uniform. The photographer who took the photo wrote on his personal website of ‘the Boy Scout kid that looked like a Brownshirt.’”
I look at this the same way I do when people say we will destroy the earth. The earth isn’t going anywhere it’s just humans that might not survive. The west will still be the west. It’s a direction. It will just look different. And we’re all humans. What difference does the color make?
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

You guys see where this is going? Right?
And yet one of the arguments against reforming health care is that the poor insurance companies will go out of business
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.

In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
For real: Are Republicans not embarrassed by stuff like this??
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Excellent question.
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

My wife gave me an envelope marked, “Not to be opened until 2026.” Inside was a list of reasons why I can't be trusted to carry out simple instructions.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
I enjoyed it

The other problem is that despite fascism raging all around us - in the form of Gestapo putting migrants in concentration camps, prosecution of political dissidents, and military controlling our cities - our crack media remain allergic to the word.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
I want that law enforcement officer to get his ass on television in front of a large audience and tell us how a sandwich traumatized him. Anyone who is capable of doing this isn’t qualified to be a law enforcement officer. The End.
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
Do you think any of the Trump cabinet members who humiliated themselves and embarrassed the country by competing to offer the most barfascious tributes to Trump yesterday have any idea that the world is laughing at them, considers them ridiculous, pathetic and doomed to ignominy?
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
He about we do something about the crime of gun violence, especially school shootings?? No one seems to care about that crime
Just a general FYI: I get that the CIA and FBI did some shady and crappy things in the 50s-80s. But if you are using those examples as referents for their (legal) powers *now,* you are showing your ignorance of some major constraints that were placed on them by Congress*
Yes Chef!
There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
What’s happening in DC is representative of the Trump Regime’s plans for cities across the country 👇👇👇👇👇
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
Who did this?
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
Oh the irony
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
I want you to think about what it means for the criminal president to be the primary source of economic instability, disorder and chaos while at the same time you, a normal law-abiding person, are doing everything you can do get ahead or just tread water. Do you feel resentful? You should.
We were all warned this would happen. Tell Congress to protect mail-in voting, right now!
I know it's early. I know this is a little loud. But it needs to be for a few reasons. 1. Because those in the back need to hear this, and you can't talk in a low voice and be heard. 2. MAGAts need to hear it. Mainly the ones who are starting to see the truth of their false idol. #SheShed
The John Bolton search should be a wake-up call to every American This escalation in the use of law enforcement to target political opposition marks a dangerous new front for American authoritarianism.
We should always remember that a handful of Republicans could make a huge difference in protecting the republic, and they're just not doing it. Blame Trump; blame his enthusiastic allies; blame them too.
Trump says immigrants must prove ‘good moral character’ — this from the guy who paid hush money to a porn star, stole from his own charity, and tried to overturn an election.
Hint: It's the guns, stupid. #GunReformNOW
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Masked men grab and arrest an innocent man coming out of immigration court where the judge extended his protective status until May of 2029. They’re going to deport him anyway. There is no rule of law today. 😔
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
I once got sent out of class at school for being too sarcastic. The teacher yelled at me, "what would your parents say if I called them?!" I replied “…hello?"
What if it’s the “Epstein files” that are the distraction from our descent into being an authoritarian police state?
👇👇
Ghislaine Maxwell wants us to believe that the man who bragged about “grabbing women by the pussy” was always a perfect gentleman? The same man who’s been convicted of sexual assault? Even if she hadn’t been moved to minimum security & likely bribed with a pardon this wouldn’t pass the sniff test
So the administration is officially and proudly lowering standards for the FBI, but also punishing universities for allegedly lowering standards in admissions, is that right? Just trying to keep up!
Whitewashing the Predator, Blinding the Nation Pls check out and share my new Substack article ⬇️
If Trump has nothing to hide why this circus with the release of files from Epstein?? There’s no way the convicted sex trafficker being moved to a club fed could in any way be influencing her testimony 🙄
Very Trumpian. If you don't look at it, it isn't there. If you didn't test for COVID, you didn't have any cases. Sure. Makes perfect sense.
Jon asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants and not mass shootings
WTF are we doing now?? Every day i feel like I’m in bizzaro land.
Otherwise known as communism.
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
I was thinking that wearing a hat saying you were right about everything was the douchiest thing ever but this is just ludicrous
Not sure this is something to brag about. Trump said his plan was to autograph the image, send it back to Putin, and invite Putin to come to America for the 2026 World Cup. Are we seriously aligning ourselves with Russia now? He’s not welcome here. Putin should have never set foot on American soil.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
BREAKING: FBI has released photos of classified documents found in John Boltons bathroom! Wait… wut? Oh, that’s not Boltons bathroom? My bad.
I heard a clip of Kash saying they determined that there was no basis for the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago and that the Bolton search was factually predicated??

The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
NIH: After review, we note that you have a large unspent balance on your grant. Please explain immediately. me: well, uh, yeah, one reason we're not spending on that grant is because NIH terminated it in May along with all the rest of federal funding to Harvard, maybe you don't remember
