I'm going to be basing a LOT of my voting and decisions on whether or not to contribute to a candidate on how they treated/spoke about President Biden and Vice President Harris during the 2024 election cycle. This will bug some of the usual suspects I'm sure, but I'm beyond caring what they think!

OK y'all, I'm making a proposal. The theme for 2026 is Hot Human Summer.

This summer, we human. We celebrate each other. We sing, we dance, we make art and music. We stop the data centers. We smash the clankers. We deactivate the chatbots.

Hot. Human. Summer. Who's in?

Just to recap:

Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops.

In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

How black slaves were routinely sold as ‘specimens’ to ambitious white doctors The horrors of slavery also spread to research: black bodies provided easy targets for medical experiments.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️

🧵 The only thing that is shocking about this is that we weren't taught about it. Cruel medical experiments on slaves in the South were common.

Black "specimens" were subjected to (cont)

"At the top of this bill, we will talk about kids… but when you actually open the hood, it’s being used as a smokescreen for everything that Big Tech lobbyists want.”

@ocasio-cortez.house.gov calls out Republicans’ partisan bill that lets Big Tech off the hook for kids’ online safety.

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck

Thank you for writing this @andrewjweinstein.com. This is the analysis that every American should read.

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas. "There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

Kash Patel’s girlfriend is exactly the sort of country singer you’d think she’d be. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

So unnecessary it breaks me in two. The 🍊💩 is fucking desperate for attention no matter who he hurts to get it. From rape, to murdering citizens in Minnesota, Concentration camps, fishing boats, kidnapping, Venezuela, IRAN, NATO, SNAP, medical insurance, destruction of the WH the list is endless

I like U.S. Senate candidates who don’t cut and paste their policies from other candidates’ websites from other states.

This rundown of Jasmine Crockett’s original, Texas specific policies is exactly what doing your own homework actually looks like.

@MaiValentrans posted: I've got like quadruple the followers I had the last time I said this, so I'm gonna say it again. When all the camps in Germany were liberated in Germany after WW2, the captives with pink triangles got sent to prison to finish out their sentence because homosexuality was illegal. That's not something that any history book feels the need to bring up. The queer history of the world is constantly erased, and then we are told by indignant bigots that our identities are simply modern trends.

Know your history, because nobody really talks about this:

As bluesky grows, so does the disinfo. Check yourselves. Block doomers and disinfo accounts on sight. We have months and it's just going to get worse. A lot of large accounts gained followers in order to flip and influence. The problem is repubs. Anyone telling you otherwise is suspect.

Whatever Kamala Harris is announcing tomorrow, I support it. She has earned the right to do whatever the hell she wants to do as far as I’m concerned. If it’s a podcast, I support it. If it’s running again, I support it. If it’s buying Warner Brothers, I support it. I’m down for any and all of it.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go?

Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

This is superb. Ian McKellen delivers a blistering pro-immigration monologue written by Shakespeare, that makes you want to punch the air with exhilaration. Wow, wow, wow.

What a remarkable and empathetic young person. A needed point of light as a reminder of the good out there.

Pay attention because they certainly are.

What's good for the goose (steppers) is good for the Resistance. Mask up friends.

Excellent instructional video pass it on

A hero through and through. THIS is who I want to be among the chief architects of the next iteration of our nation.

He's now eligible for Nuremberg II.

The daycares, employees, parents, and the state should sue this white supremacist larvae into nothingness. Then sue him again. The proof of harm from his actions is all over the news and the harm is egregious.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

The Return of the Antebellum Constitution The Supreme Court and the president are undermining the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.

Over the next year, the Roberts Court “will face more cases that could further erode both the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, pushing America back toward what some on the right believe is the true, Antebellum Constitution,” Adam Serwer argues.
