Kash Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic for reporting on his drinking. When asked why such a high number, he said, "I owe a lot of bartenders a lot of money."

RIGHT TO READ DAY. April 20, 2026. Everywhere. FOR YOUR FREEDOM TO READ. FOR ACCESS TO INFORMATION. FOR UNDERSTANDING OUR PAST. FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. FOR OUR LIBRARIES. Logos for Unite Against Book Bans and ALA150 American Library Association

From Jan. 2025 - March 2026, 100+ pro-censorship bills were introduced in state legislatures. At least 40 bills would penalize libraries and library workers with lawsuits, fines, or even jail time for protecting people’s the right to read.

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

If you die and get cremated, you can be put in an hourglass and still be part of family game night.

This is a joke, but I kinda like this idea. lol

The Senate vote to destroy America’s most visited wilderness could happen with 24 hours’ notice and the deadline runs out at the end of April.

You’d really think politicians would be more pro-sex work given how much they participate in it

I’ve said it many times before, what I notice on social media is people sharing regime propaganda with a sarcastic caption. I find this particular type of post to be useless at best & harmful at worst. People have been doing it for a decade & it’s gotten us nowhere. STOP SHARING PROPAGANDA 🛑

A photo of an orange flower, in which two bees are facing and nestling together. “Did you know that when bees grow old, they don’t always make it back to the hive. Instead, they spend their last night resting gently on a flower beneath the stars. If they see another sunrise, they’ll gather one last bit of pollen as a final gift to their colony before quietly slipping away. So when you see a little bee resting on a flower at duck… pause and thank her. She’s more precious than gold.” ~GardeningSoul

On the train back home from Warsaw right now, and two Ukrainian women across the carriage from me are absolutely delighted about the Hungarian election result. One is in tears and the other is laughing. This is what it means to get rid of the cynical, kleptocratic prick.

I should not be forced to think about the president this much.

From a post:

“Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization.

So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

"Biggest scam in modern political history."

Hate speech is not free speech, and I don't give a damn what SCOTUS says about it anymore. Our legal system is not. working.

It is wrong to attempt to deny people the right to be who they are, and this country needs to get over itself and let people exist as they choose.

Enough.

What the fuck, indeed. What are Y'all waiting for, GOP Congress? Are you THAT chickenshit to stand up against the Fanta Führer?

Constitutional authorities could not foresee people coming to the US to have children, but COULD foresee guns capable of killing dozens at a time.

There isn't going to be a general strike. Nobody is prepared for it.

If you want to have a general strike, you need resource sharing. You need mutual aid funding. You need babysitters. You need transportation. You need protection from state sanctioned violence.

You need community.

The president of the United States doesn’t give a shit about you … even though it’s his job to.

134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

Let’s talk about how they said ICE agents will still remain in the airport after TSA is fully restored.

This is so they can privatize Security

And continue to child traffic.

GET THEM OUT NOW!

I beg “No Kings” Americans to discuss a general strike.

Break your economy. You can’t be serious about ending this regime while you keep spending disposable income and propping up the economy as a consumer.

You wanna break it? Stop buying new things. Repair things. Buy used. Don’t eat at chains.

America was never truly free

However, the government supported and lifted those who were left behind

Now it’s the opposite

Fight it all the way!

Support others

Everyone can be successful

We can have a family

We can have laws that support us

We can make life better

I approve this message.

Hi America,

The best time to remove your president was quite a long time ago.

However, the good news is that the next best time is NOW.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
