our culture is corrosive to queer history - itll efface it and rewrite it at every turn. we gotta know what happened and tell each other about it
those silly little guys in their dorky costumes were a revolution and the world tried to make them a joke, then stole them from us as soon as they could
The Silvestri-drawn cover to "New X-Men" #151, starring mostly Wolverine's mutant dumper in blue jeans. Also a far-future skyline, but it's hard to see beyond the yellow-and-black-spandex-clad mountain that is Logan's back.
Marc Silvestri really said "I'm gonna give the gays everything they want" when he came back for #newxmen, huh? #comics #xmen #theywereathroupleyall
In "Here Comes Tomorrow," the surviving Stepford Cuckoos bemoan the dark future they inhabit. "In our dreams we have seen a new Dark Age. Seen all history set back a thousand years by ignorance and war. Seen, worse than all these, a terrible flaw at the heart of things."
"How did this happen so quickly?" they ask in unison.
Oh, if only the Stepford Cuckoos knew how fast things can go sideways into dystopia. #xmen #newxmen #comics
I *love* when it's the opposite of Alien vs. Predator, and whoever loses we all win.
Rolling Stone understood the assignment, this is how you report it.
im almost positive the last time a senator got on a plane to another country to check on his missing constituents was jonestown. that’s crazy
Angrily condescending *and* utterly dismissive of the central role LGBTQ+ people have played - and have *only* been able to play - in our own liberation.
Giving "Did you even say thank you?" energy, without irony.
This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.
And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.
they're not even good! you're just nostalgic for when your knees didn't hurt! leave that shit alone!
Trans and queer people are under legal, structural, and interpersonal threat every day, and these Nice Liberals have convinced themselves that they have no hand in it because, gosh, they just *really* need to share the DNC's memes of Trump and Putin kissing, okay? It's how they #resist, okay?
Screencap of a skeet in which a user says simply "JD Pansy."
A certain genre of straight liberal is mad they can't call people the f-slur and t-slur in polite company anymore, and they're willing to take any chance they can--with plausible deniability, of course, because they're not just bigots, they're also cowards--to preserve their sense of superiority.
Guess you're just saying the homophobia out loud now, huh?
Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.
Well... yes, that's correct. Accurate headline. I couldn't have written it better myself.
Mulder saying "Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government."
Mulder saying "If you die, you let them off the hook."
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I'm so deeply grateful that Denver was able to transform an empty campus into a transformative and empowering community in my neighborhood. Maybe New York City can use this as a model for what to do with @columbiauniversity.bsky.social?
Please, gods of comics, let this bring us an actual status quo. Gail Simone is spinning gold out of *nothing,* so just imagine what she could do with any kind of real engine for story. #xmen #hellfiregala #hellfirevigil
Other people have already said this, but the next step is for courts to enjoin the admin from sending any more detainees abroad. There is no “oopsie we can’t” response for that.
I’m not sure anyone in particular can be held in contempt in the current impasse, but that would be good too.
You got us here, Mike, and none of us are going to let you forget it.
It's not just that the DNC is only interested in symbolic gestures, it's that they're genuinely very bad at those, too.
Congrats to Cory Booker on Salvaging His Personal Brand for a week, though.
DNC should be bringing up articles of impeachment any and every time Trump blatantly breaks the law. Articles won't move forward, but putting the GOP majority on record for refusing to defend the Constitution is more substantive than any of the other purely symbolic nonsense they've *been* doing.

"We went to space and found the devil" is a pretty neat subgenre
Regret to inform everybody that it's real bad
Series of Bluesky posts: Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias.bsky.social Some of the big ideas I've been associated with in my career: 1. Supply and demand applies to housing 2. People like politicians who take popular positions 3. Police help prevent crime 4. The Orange Man is bad 5. China's large population matters a lot for power politics Matthew Yglesias (reply to above post) @mattyglesias.bsky.social I sincerely cannot think of a less provocative, less trolly thinker than Yglesias whose whole thing is mostly just to insist that obviously true things are in fact true. The Gripe Gazette @gripegazette.bsky.social Forgot to switch to a sock puppet account?

Sam, Lucas, Tessa, and Ororo on a porch. "So it's official. Now we're all cops," says Sam.
Yukio offers Ororo a wrapped present, to which Ororo objects. "Oh no--not again," she says with her hands up.
Yukio and Ororo dressed as background extras from a porn version of "The Fifth Element." Just really garish shit.
The ugliest panel of Ororo in existence. Art by Igor Kordey.
Finally reading "Storm: The Arena" and, um, it's a lot of a lot. #xmen #xtremexmen #comics
If P!nk is your diva then you have a hard time loving yourself. If Katy Perry is your diva then you don't love anyone.
