I think the ‘less obvious’ politics here is that the entire thing started off with workers in the fields and ended with community dancing and emerging in solidarity from the fields. I think it’s beautiful that he named every country and all the peoples voices rising up- AND-

being maga truly is just hating everything actually good about America

A bunny in a small boat returns to a small, stone tower house by the seashore. they have a fishing net. Fish are drying next to the house on the shore, and two smaller bunnies run out to greet them

Daily bunny no.3223 brings the catch of the day

I do not see how it could possibly be controversial to refer to these facilities as concentration camps. The whole point of them is to break people.

You ever get on the internet to say you enjoyed something and then a person you've never had any contact with at all before will feel compelled to tell you they did not enjoy that thing?

I am 100% OK with Tawny getting full control of the Star Trek franchise at some point. She’d do it right.

Put a ship that's not Star Trek nor Star Wars...

Jesus Merlin Christ these people need to get a grip.

OMG Reno truly is the highlight of every scene she's in. Her looking dead ass at the doctor and saying "Can you stop???" took me all the way out.

Hey, those whales sounds were like super scary, man. Freaked me tf out tbh.

We saw kids protest in Ballard & someone remarked that they were too young to be holding up signs that say "Fuck ice", etc. I reminded this adult these kids had already survived a global pandemic & were literally watching their country fall into fascism in real time while their planet is dying

EXACTLY. I was a young teen who started watching TNG exclusively based on the massive crush I had on Wil Wheaton (which grew to include Brent Spiner.) I loved DS9 as an older teen because of it's darker themes. Star Trek is absolutely for teens & always has been.

This was 10 MONTHS AGO by the way. Schumer is a feckless fascist collaborator through and through. Everything he does is not incompetence, it's intentional & well thought out, all part of a broader plan. Fascism is the strongest arm of capital. And this man is a capitalist down to the bone.

It's been a long time since I wanted to hug a writer of an episode the way I want to hug @tawnynewsome.bsky.social after watching the latest Starfleet Academy episode. I need Kurtzman to let her do more things. She's brilliant.

Do you live in WA State? Do you think rich people should have to pay their fair share to balance our horrifically unbalanced state budget and fund state services? Take two minutes and sign in PRO on SB 6346! The opposition is flooding the testimony! Don't let them!

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

These minor & infrequent busses are how public transpo princesses like me get to leave our neighborhoods and the city to enjoy everything WA has to offer. We need more of them and more frequently - not less.

They have achieved 10 to 1 force superority over ICE

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc
