We're talking about a racist who don't shy away from massive public grift, who revel in saying 'the quiet parts' as loudly as possible, who openly worship the worst examples of humanity they can find. The Epstein class's control of major media only helps the fascists avoid dilemmas we might create.

I like this concept but it's not an easy way for me to think about the present American regime. It's hard to think about dilemmas when your opponents have zero shame.

Sometimes? Mostly I cut those people out of my life. It's too short and I have too much else to do.
The exception being those who seem willing to learn. Nobody is perfect; nobody is born knowing everything. A willing spirit and an open heart go a long way.

Oh em gee. JD Vance just mansplained Catholicism to the Pope.

Despite the regime's claims, kidnappings by unnamed unaccountable brownshirts do NOTHING to improve Jewish safety.
We stand with courageous Israeli protesters opposing the war with Iran, while facing police violence and the threat of missile strikes. On Saturday, police prevented detained activists from seeking shelter underground when an alarm sounded warning of incoming missiles.

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social 's post-No Kings essay is a delight. Full of hopeful facts and useful analysis.

Remember Mr. Shah Alam, the semi-blind Rohingya genocide survivor whom immigration agents dumped on the street in Buffalo in the middle of winter? The medical examiner has found he died of dehydration and hypothermia: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/n...
Gathering in community is an act of resistance. "Let all who are hungry come and eat" is an antidote to the fear and hopelessness that autocracy relies on.
I will carry these ideas in my heart and display them in my actions until this regime falls, as it surely must. Chag sameach, everyone.
Welcome the stranger - the most-repeated commandment in Torah - reminds us that it is our obligation to bridge the divides that fascism promotes. Jew and Muslim, straight and queer, white and non-white. None of us is free until all of us are free.

Happy first day of Passover. I hope you got to have a meaningful and joyous celebration last night if that's your thing - it is mine.
The fascist regime wants people to be isolated and forced into inaction. The message of Passover is the opposite: None of us are free until all of us are free.

Wonderful, thank you!
Also, I heartily applaud the proper use of the word 'jamokes' in there.
I remember having this argument with ACT UP last century during that organization's campaign to forcibly out closeted gay men in positions of influence or power, based on the assertion that those men were using that power to harm gay people.
I was very ambivalent about it then; I remain so now.
To all of my queer and trans friends: I see you. I want you in my life just as you are. You don't have to be a certain way or say a certain thing - you get it by virtue of being a caring human being.
Also? Fuck the Supreme Court. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
On a day when I found myself rooting for the TSA I should not be surprised to find myself cheering for the Cato Institute. And yet, here we are.

This is, as usual, brilliant. Keep doing it - I love being on your Patreon!
Same. Retired, have car and no requirements to be pretty much anywhere at any time.
I sure hope @bellingcat.com is on this one: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
If your face sported a mask while terrorizing our communities and now you think we won't match faces to fascists, well you don't know the Internet like I do.
Dear Hollywood
We do not need your digital necrophilia. There are literally thousands of undiscovered talents banging down your doors. Spend your money on them, not sophisticated slop.

I am only able to sleep at night because I dream of the day we have our own Nuremberg trials in which every single one of these fascist fucks stands up and says "I was only following orders" and they get told that's not a defense.
The amount of sanewashing that mainstream media are bending over backwards to do on That Guy's insane, incoherent, and scarily dangerous utterances about our war on Iran is... I lack a word.

Kudos to @truahrabbis.bsky.social for their "Purim Torah" mailing. A collection of jabs, sarcasm, and political skewering worthy of old-style Doonesbury.
I'm attending Neighbor to Neighbor Massachusetts's event, “Virtual fundraiser for LUCE Immigrant Justice Hotline & N2N”
This one is personal for me. Help if that's within your capabilities.

Imagine being in a position to exercise oversight on this facility and cause the people who run it to have to answer questions on live broadcast TV. That's all- just answer some questions.
It'd be a shame if CBS managed to entirely Streisand the interview Stephen Colbert did with James Talarico.
