I wanted to just sink into my media downloads for a while and pretend I didn’t exist.

Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.

Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

It's just not plausible that someone is teleporting into a waffle house because waffle houses are anchored sites of hyperreality. I don't think tarot even works in them. If he was claiming that he spatially displaced into a denny's that'd be worth investigating

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

I cannot stress enough how these are PTA moms and soccer coach dads and I can best describe the vibe as “festively bloodthirsty”

Bruce Springsteen performs “Streets of Minneapolis”

thoughts on today:

1) the protests are good, actually

2) you should go to one of you can

3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy

4) you might meet people who you can organize with

5) there are more of us than there are of them

6) we are going to win

Hot take: No Kings is good and if you have the time and capacity, you should go to a protest on Saturday.

As a person who had shingles in her 30s, got antiviral meds maybe 3 days in, even playing video games was ambitious. Sending love and wishes for quick healing

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.

Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

look if a Democrat wants me to be really fired up about voting for them, they will promulgate the Crimes Against Humanity Reparations Act which gives US citizenship to everyone targeted by the Trump administration.

We need to talk about Gerald Noble bird or nuisance? Gerald inspired a debate among Oaklanders about the place of nature in our city.

Saeed, may I be the one to introduce the legendary Gerald the Oakland rose garden turkey? share.google/WqqR01EPBzii...

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

Rare disclosure alert.

My partner saw me arguing with men and sent me this to refocus my attention. Truly, not marrying an idiot is absolutely a huge improvement on my past behavior. Huge.

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd of hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and other Jews have gathered outside ICE headquarters in DC for the largest ever Jewish protest against ICE’s violence and crimes. #jewsagainstICE

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

This is Ladybird. She's politely requesting butt pats. Will accept them for as long as you're willing to provide them. Could be days. Weeks even. 13/10 (TT: christina.stamper5)

I'll pledge to my ducking part. Will you?

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

This is the ur-grift: it’s not the get-rich-quick scheme that makes you rich, it’s teaching other people how to sell it to someone else.
