WoPo subscription canceled. Democracy dies in darkness. I will go where there is light.

Time to campaign to get the Olympic committee to pull the US games. FIFA too. You know what? ALL pro sports need to show up for this.

Trans athletes entering US to compete may face "lifetime exclusion from the United States"

Don’t leave Maine out of the new Union please!!

I believe he’s been appointed to Ambassador of Greenland.

It’s stunning.

This is what it looks like to speak truth to power.

Death + Moxie is on bluesky! Follow for updates on 2025 shows and new one-of-a-kind designs for a chance to snatch them up before they hit the showroom table.

Correction: It's a movie, not a series. Which is still exciting, but not the long-term distraction I could really use right now.

The preemptive breakdown of the media is chilling. Gotta wonder how long it’ll be before he starts pulling broadcast licenses. Will it be before or after he starts putting journalists in jail?

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I found out there’s a new Trek series starting this Friday!

🔥Besides that, you know, nothing really happened today🤯

Reminder that That Guy gets sentenced today. We won't see the proceedings (booooo), but we will get audio. I'm not sure whether the audio gets released after today's session or after the (inevitable) appeal.

While reading an article about today's TikTok hearing at the Supreme Court, my brain, fully on its own, without any conscious effort, "saw" the words "the court injustices" and carried on with the sentence. I had to go back and reread it.

I guess it's safe to say I'm pretty much done with that lot.

I wish I could say this restored any of my faith in the Court, but…wait, let me look…still nope. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But yay for today.

I need to do better over here. Never been great at communicating in this format but safe spaces are hard to come by. This is worth the effort. I’ll try harder!

OMG yes. Every time I hear someone say that I have the urge to reach out and pat them on the head with my little pouty face like I would a toddler insisting Santa is real. "Oh, honey, aren't you the sweetest little thing..." It sounds patronizing but it's more like I wish I could be where they are.

Ha! Looks like someone got an ultimatum. 🤣😂🫢😂🤣

I hope the report comes out anyway, but hey, I'll take the win.

Fuck, now I have the words "Matt Gaetz withdrawing" in my head, and I need to go douse myself in bleach.

The war on Sarah McBride is a war on all LGBTQ people. But they've declared war before--to racially segregate the US population from the top down. This is a small step into VERY deep water.

Māori lawmakers in New Zealand interrupt vote on controversial bill with Haka Māori lawmakers interrupted a New Zealand parliamentary vote with a Haka to protest a law that would erode the land and cultural rights of Indigenous New Zealanders.

In some countries, lawmakers (literally) stand up and defend the rights of their people. abcnews.go.com/amp/Internat...

This promises to be a worthwhile follow. Court cases will be a constant from here on in. Buckle up!

The theme is on point, but it seems overly generous to represent X atop such a nice…um…pair of pants. 😂

Watch you're language! 🤣

God before grammar!

He might not be able to teach them how to use apostrophes, but by God, they’ll know they shouldn’t fuck their neighbor’s wife.

Glory be!

It says a lot about November 2024 when Mike Tyson is somehow the lesser of two evils and…loses to some white asshole in a red hat with a cult following on the internet.

This is hilarious. I’ve never seen a boxer look less excited to enter a ring. JP seems to be reconsidering his life choices. 🤣

Exactly. It's great that we have them, and I believe in the people we've elected to hold the line. But when the US military is stuffed with loyalists to a tyrant who isn't beholden to the Constition, and the US Supreme Court is lawless, it seems like they'll be fighting a wildfire with a squirt gun.

If one more person tells me "But Maine is a Blue State!" I'm going to scream. People put sandbags down before hurricanes come, but the water still gets in.

Oh, look! Here comes schadenfreude! I look forward to our time together.
