Sweden’s central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, has advised people to keep 1,000 kronor ($110) in cash at home, enough for a week of essentials like food and medicine in case of war, cyberattacks, or other crises. (Bloomberg)

Republicans spent 17 months on Benghazi because 4 Americans were killed.

It’s been 3 days and Trump’s illegal Iran attack has already gotten 6 American soldiers killed. He promises more will die soon. And Republicans don’t care.

I have a comic series in mind about a group of Klingon spies. It fascinates me how a culture that prides itself of honor handles the necessary deceit in espionage, and the answer to me was that intelligence is where they stick the Klingons they're ashamed of.

Even some art for it.

I don’t know, dudes, what is every city without billionaires, which is many many cities in the country and the world?

I’m not saying you can’t debate the economic impacts, but framing this as if the presence of billionaires drives *the identity of a city* is, frankly, extremely goofy.

Forgotten fascism Josephine Riesman on authoritarianism’s early warning system

it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.

I don't give a shit if you think porn is yucky, or if transness confuses you, or if seeing/hearing a foreigner makes you uneasy, GET THE FUCK OVER IT. If you lst the government take rights from those people, ANY PEOPLE, then NOBODY has rights. They'll find a way to criminalize you too, promise.

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised!

New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

This is a tax on you.

You paid $1,000 more in a tax because of Trump.

Trump, the GOP, and ICE lost the culture war just now.

Completely.

Expect them to lash out tomorrow. More violence. More disappearances. More deaths. Overreaching is all fascists know to do in reaction to a public defeat.

Fight back that much harder.
