Republicans, in contrast, have elected one of the most corrupt politicians in U.S. history…gutted the entirety of U.S. corporate oversight…created untold chaos and harm with gestapo-grade racial policing and unnecessary, costly war.

I’m sitting here with this thing of thimbles, …my grandma Fay’s thimble collection…I inherited when she died. when she died I would put these thimbles, 10 of them, on my fingers & type poems, & we were making art together….I think almost all art is made by the dead, & we don’t know it.

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov said "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you."
the cross on her neck is a nice touch. amen.

The image is of graves being dug for the girls killed when the U.S. bombed their school.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.
Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom.
In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

I am sick, sad, and furious. let us continue to make art that refuses any of this as normal, right, just or acceptable.
Skagit Valley for a birding event. we saw so much. but dunlins in a flight of light (all blue sky) touched me. 1 of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. then I thought of those 85 girls. a poem: 85 ways of looking at a dunlin.

today at least 1000 of these in flight.
indeed. and if I had any sense of humor right now I would include Omar gif.
See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
Abolish ICE is merely the starting position. This below is the correct one.
Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.

….the fact that corruption is a central and obvious cause of the vast majority of U.S. dysfunction is routinely downplayed or ignored, creating a vacuum into which increasingly-terrible beasts are born.
“The intention here is not subtle. What is happening is not open to debate. The richest right wingers in America are buying up the entirety of mass modern media with an eye on building a permanent autocratic oligarchy coddled by wall-to-wall corporatist, right wing bullshit and propaganda.”
