That volcanologist you saw on TV. Executive Chair of The Comedy Resistance. Ran for Congress, wrote MS. ADVENTURE, did the world's longest horse race. Podcasts, mohawks, punk rock, WFR, super into protecting democracy.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

The death penalty is one of our society's most egregious failings, but this instance is one of the worst of the worst.
Sonny Burton should not be killed.
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
The proletariat is in our "Fuck you, make me" Era and I love that for us.
NEW: As we've seen the raids & ICE surges, everyone has had so many questions. 'what can states do?' 'what can cities do?' 'what can one ask a sheriff, governor, zoning board, to do?!'
you sent us a lot of your questions.
we just answered 9 of them. i learned a ton myself, i think you will to.
Wag. The. Dog.
Wow. That is a thing of beauty.
Disapproval isn't disloyalty, it's democracy at work.
CC: Stephen Miller and MAGA cultists.
So apparently he didn't actually post this, but he has wanted to bomb hurricanes with nukes in the past so...🤷
Just thought I should clarify (and yes, both are extremely BAD ideas).
A Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump with a diagram of a volcano with cement plugging the vent. The caption reads "Why has no one ever experimented with placing cement in the mouth of volcanoes considlered (sic) active, as in the image, or heavy metal rocks. And when erupting the lava would be blocked, preventing deaths and accidents."
Every day I think we've plumbed the absolute depths of human stupidity, and somehow every day this sentient slime mold manages to move the bar closer to the planet'd nickel-iron core. 🤦
Volcanoes with plugs in the vent are how you get MOUNT ST. HELENS, you ignoramus.
Cinnabar is red
Apatite is blue
Science needs champions
So I'll fight fascism with you.

The FAFOcene.
As an air pollution guy this is straight up false. EPA called them "stationary sources" and you cannot operate one without a permit. It couldn't be more simple
The Trump Administration believes they can reject science and damn the consequences.
This period in US history will now be known as the FAFO Era.

Hell yes, that's exactly it!
Mobilizing voters at this scale is how real change is built. Grassroots organizing, participation, and collective effort matter—wishing strength and success to everyone working to turn engagement into impact.
We’re gonna register 50,000 new voters — and mobilize more than 500,000 voters — in crucial battlegrounds for the 2026 midterms, and we need you onboard! It's gonna be all hands on deck, with @volcanojess.com so join us, chip in and help us unfuck the USA. #fightthegoodfight #unionstrong #fuckICE
The people in power are completely, utterly, & abjectly terrified of facts. They fear journalism, science, data, & general powers of observation.
By making entire swathes of the population question objective reality, they are poisoning the well & trying to shield themselves.
Do not let them.
Screenshot of a post from White House official social media with a black and white image of journalist Don Lemon holding a microphone. Image text reads, "Don Lemon arrested for involvement in the St. Paul church riots." The White House's caption reads, "When life gives you lemons...⛓️ Aaron Rupar writes, "the White House's official X account gloats over the arrest of Don Lemon with a chains emoji Ryan Goodman writes, "White House with an image of a Black man and an emoji of chains. And the chosen image is of Don Lemon doing journalism.
They arrested 4 Black people for doing journalism...apparently under the Ku Klux Klan Act.

The DOJ has arrested Don Lemon, a well-known journalist, for using his Constitutionally protected right to observe & document our government peacefully.
Today is a nationwide general strike. Do not buy things. Do not work.
Get angry.
Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:
It's a war and the American people are the enemy. Can't do the fake "no they're just after the bad guys" after you shot two people for no good reason. bsky.app/profile/ndre...
2/3 of the homicides in Minneapolis this year were committed by federal agents.
Hey, if you want another way to help...here ya go. We're going to turn the tide in 6 critical purple districts by getting out the vote. Meet people where they are, get them registered, and make connections that matter. 👀
A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
It may just be me, but the number of people I know who have never before spoken out about anything remotely political who are now making their voices heard FEELS like a tipping point.
I may be overly optimistic by nature, & I think we have miles to go before we sleep...but I. Have. Hope.
The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)
“What’s that money for?” a reporter asked, and the president completely ignored it. trib.al/gXra3f6
Is the membership fee for a chunk of real estate in Jared Kushner’s “New Gaza” plan? Or is it going to Trump’s pocket via some offshore bank account based in Qatar? We may never know.
