No Kings crowd image with a protest sign in the distance that says “IKEA HAS BETTER CABINETS.”
Happy No Kings day to all who celebrate.
I’m a middle school English teacher and I’m building my summer reading list. I would love to check out a copy.
I love the Bangles and can’t wait to read.
Only ACLU t shirts.
They usually get out ahead of it and throw out ballots due to signature match issues but I guess they didn’t think to do that in a Trump +7 district.
This one.
And that poor guy thinks *he* messed up.
And carrying guns.
Big question in my mind is whether the agents are bringing their masks, guns and retail camo.
My worst neighbor is telling a story about how he *would have* caught at 12 foot gator if part of its tail wasn’t missing.
What a way to tempt fate.
Today on the basketball court, I heard them saying things like “if I make this shot I get your sister.” This is at a small progressive school but most of of our kids have phones, and the culture of sexual dominance is in the air they breathe.
I teach at a middle school. The boys are always joking Epstein and Epstein island. I am constantly having to remind them that the man was a r*pist who ruined countless lives, and that it hurts the girls and women in our community when they treat sexual assault as a punchline.
This dreadful book banning bill, H.R. 7661, has made it out of committee and into the House. It's time to call your reps.
We've spent $19 BILLION in TWO WEEKS. For a technology that's already dying. If we spent that much on solar & wind, we could reduce our energy dependency by 12.5% in a year.
We could be pollution-free and have electricity at a quarter of current prices in eight years.
Instead we have war.

I read it when it came out and loved it. I’m not sure I’d be able to keep up with it with my 2026 brain.
This is hysterical. Watch: All the ingredients are there. Warning: You gonna eat.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
She’s a beauty!
We gave up so many freedoms after 9/11 under the guise of safety. Forget about warrantless wiretapping. We take off our shoes at the airport! We only travel with small amounts of liquid! We let the body scanners SEE US NAKED! All for “everybody dies” to win out in the end.

There’s gotta be a part of Trump that wishes he wasn’t president now so he could complain that the president doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
White sticker that says “Regine change begins at home” in blue text.
Time to dust off these stickers from the Iraq war.
