Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him

how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?

The more I think about this the angrier I get. We deserve better than to be governed by pervs and their enablers. Sending strength and love to his many victims.

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

There has to be somebody that can stop this. The fate of humanity cannot be in the hands of these monsters.

feel like we’ve been screaming “do something” to congress for the past decade. Those with power and money continue to fail all of us. I’ve still lit a candle for peace. My prayers are with all of the ordinary people in harm’s way.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today

even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now

how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

I'm becoming too acquainted with the feeling of dread, coupled with anger that the people best positioned to stop all this choose not to on a daily basis

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

In this view of the Moon, the near side (the hemisphere we see from Earth), is visible at the top half of the Moon disk. It is identifiable by the dark splotches. These are ancient lava flows from a time early in the Moon’s history when it was volcanically active. The large crater that appears below the lava flows, dark in the center, is Orientale basin, a nearly 600-mile-wide crater that straddles the Moon’s near and far sides as is partly visible from Earth on the edge of the Moon. In this image, we have a full view of the crater. Everything below the crater is the far side, the hemisphere we don’t get to see from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits round us. Credit: NASA

perhaps none of us can predict what Trump or Iran will do. perhaps we have to continue to sit in that deep and terrifying uncertainty knowing that as individuals we control none of this.

'I don't know what will happen' is the truest truth of this moment.

girl take us with you

The John Brown meme where he’s standing up and talking, it’s been used a lot in the past year

Easter candy is superior to Halloween candy.

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

Moon’s haunted is definitely a classic—and apropos for today:

Sign what's a circle with an arrow reading "FUCK" - if you spin the circle, the FUCK arrow lands on a name from the Trump Administration. Choices include Miller, RFK Jr, Vought, Vance, Bondi, Trump, Rubio, Hegseth, Kushner, Patel. The arrow is currently pointing at Miller.

This was amazing. People were cheering each time the dial was spun.

We all know this is fascism.

“Sperm whales live in matrilineal groups: grandmothers, mothers and daughters. Females stick together, while males set out on their own in their mid-teens… Roughly half of the whales present during the birth were not directly related to her.”

We need to consider a return to matriarchy, tbh.
