Badger, Guru, Antifascist. "AI" is "Pro-life" for tech bros. Transphobia isn't feminism, they're FARTs not TERFs.
"SS United States is sunk" No sirs, ICE is still very much active.
So, in lieu of impeachment proceedings, I have a better idea...
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 6h agoIt’s happening again. Hegseth says it is Musk, Musk says it is Hegseth. Where the hell is Congress?
Union baristas are serving free drinks and talking about why over 12,000 workers are calling on everyone to BOYCOTT STARBUCKS. Starbucks is the #1 violator of US labor law in modern history. It's time for the company to finalize a fair union contract!
Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 2h agoNew York City! Boycotting Starbucks? We’re here serving solidarity spice lattes and coffee for FREE near City Hall. We’ll be here until 11am, stop by!
You can't afford to be left behind. Everybody is doing it. You need to start having an affair with Jensen Huang. Or your competitors will.
Does transphobia help Dems win? Only if the people doing it are Republicans. Infuckingternalize that
THANK YOU, MISSISSIPPI! This victory belongs to all of us and I am honored to be your new senator-elect.
@heinrich.senate.gov if this passes, I sincerely hope you're never allowed to feel comfortable anywhere in NM ever again.
Dr. Kat Napaaqtuk❄️@napaaqtuk.bsky.social · 15h agoFor the evening scrollers... The Senate vote for the BAAJA bill is tomorrow. This bill is over 400 pages and I guarantee your senator didn't read the whole thing. It weakens Tribal consultation for energy projects & makes it harder to sue when the inevitable oil spills/water contamination happens.
It’s Veterans Day. And House Republicans just passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates. This is how they’re thanking our heroes for their service.
Happy for my queer sibs in Trinidad and Tobago!
R.S.A. Garcia (BUY THE NIGHTWARD)@rsagarcia.bsky.social · 2d agoA great day for Trinidad and Tobago. It's about time these brutal colonial laws were struck off the books. Especially given we don't prosecute people under them. He's absolutely right that they do not represent who we are as a nation. Good riddance. www.bbc.com/news/article...
There are many serious reasons this needs to be razed to the ground -- unauthorized by law, likely riddled with security risks, etc. -- but the fact that it'll tower over the People's House is a good one too.
James E. Clyburn@repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 16h agoI hope everyone takes a good hard look at this picture. Trump’s under-construction ballroom is now bigger than the rest of the White House. Much bigger. The contrast says everything you need to know about this President and his priorities.
AGs of CA, NY, MA, WA, CO, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, VT, and DC v. #BAAJA: “We ask that Senate leadership delay the upcoming vote to allow for continued discussion and stakeholder engagement to protect our natural resources, historic and tribal sites, and state regulatory prerogatives.”
thinking a lot over the past week about my gratitude for Romancing the Vote — not just for raising $1.2+ million for organizations like Fair Fight and Vote Riders but also, I think, energizing and educating a huge community around how to defend voting rights in the South specifically
So do you all remember Kim Davis, the county clerk in KY who refused to issue gay marriage licenses, even after Obergefell? Back in 2015 two couples who she refused to issue licenses to sued her for §1983 violations of their constitutional right to marry under the 14th Amendment.

I don’t want delivery drivers to have smart glasses, I don’t want a watch that surveils me while I sleep, I don’t want a tv that records my conversations, I don’t want doorbells and traffic cameras feeding information to the immigration secret police. Fuck every piece of this shit.
The combination of the mass erroneous purge, forcing voters to cast affidavits, & mass rejection of affidavits per strict rules, is such an indictment of voter suppression in Mississippi. Mississippi's Senate race not being that close is keeping this from exploding as a story.
Surely a thread like this wouldn't be complete without Wilfred Owen.
Alex de Campi@alexdecampi.bsky.social · 23h agoBUT if we are having a trench poetry day, this by T.P. Cameron Wilson (killed during the German attack on Hermies in 1918) is probably my fave.
THIS. The same-old same-old got us here. Dems need to turn a new page and show the public what they’re doing. Bill by bill. Display their efforts, intentions, and goals. Show the public how they’re fighting fascism—piece by piece. And what MAGA is fighting for—and against.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury is saying she “was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote.” But, of course, GOP leadership can choose to gavel when the time has expired. They almost never do … but it’s their prerogative.
Emine Yücel@emineirmakyucel.bsky.social · 2d ago11 House Dems missed the vote. If they were all present, House GOP would not have been able to block the impeachment effort during Tuesday’s procedural vote. talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blog-up...
Hey there, bookseller here: can confirm! It is *already* really bad and it is only going to get worse, unfortunately. If you want something for the holidays, you would do well to order it RIGHT NOW. Like, RIGHT NOW.
Alma Katsu (INCARNATE is out now!)@almakatsu.bsky.social · 2d agoHey, just saw American Booksellers Association warning member bookstores that supply chain issues are forecast to be terrible this holiday season, so my advice to you is BUY THE BOOK when you see it on the shelf and don't wait until later. Because you might never see it again.
your annual reminder that, every year, bookstores make a third or more of their money between now & New Year’s ☺️ meanwhile, Amazon supports & abets ICE most bookstores ship nationwide. A lot of them also have stores on bookshop.org
I keep forgetting not all authors play by the same rules as @tkingfisher.com and would really appreciate every other horror book I pick up not be about a gods damned plague that sends me to doesthedogdiedotcom...
re: dems who missed the vote, I would expect republican leadership called it knowing that this was happening so they could shelve it
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 2d agoTonight, House Republicans used a procedural motion to kill the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, by referring it to the Judiciary Committee. Like other Members of Congress, Rep. Stansbury was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote.
"mistook engagement for approval" goes on the tombstone of our times.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 2d agoNear-total ownership of social media platforms backfired on Republicans in the midterms, convincing them they were building a thousand year Trumpenreich by being the biggest assholes imaginable (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
DHS General Counsel James Percival spoke at Yale Law School this week. Students held up signs that spelled out “abolish ICE” and taped signs to the back of their laptops that read “abolish ICE & prosecute Percival”
