The Parti Québecois, a party whose hold raison-d'être is separatism, recently said they were putting all separation talk on the backburner for the remainder of Trump's term. Do you know how insane that is? Trump healed 200 years of Franco-Anglo tensions purely by being a giant asshole.

Is Social Security a Ponzi scheme? Sure, I guess. But so is my ability to buy groceries with money I don’t have via easy consumer credit through a massively complex global supply chain hedged with oil derivatives from farmers propped up by government ag subsidies. We live in a society, waow.
The white house tweeted a picture of a bald eagle seemingly killing a Canadian goose that was a still image from a full length video where the goose eventually fought back and the eagle retreated
Hot take, the exact opposite (taking yourself very seriously but not the work) is the exact problem with our politics
I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.
One of my strongly held beliefs is that Taco Bell should just replace all of their ground beef with TVP
i love that people everywhere can finally enjoy the clownshow that is brooklyn Democratic politics
Hell Gate reporter Katie Way is not exaggerating when she says that "this video has the potential to become a certified NYC politics cult classic along the lines of the Eric Adams teenage room search PSA." It's cuckoo bananas from start to finish:
The official U.S. Department of Education Twitter account posted, then deleted, a video positively comparing Trump to Hitler. Captioned “No one does it like us” with a tiger emoji, the video opens with a scene from Darkest Hour wherein Winston Churchill refers to Hitler as a tiger.
The eagle got his a** beat In ancient Rome, the Consul would have decided to call off the invasion after such a bad omen
Actual White House post:
BREAKING: A federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration's efforts to seize the medical records of transgender youth in New York City. This is a victory for everyone's right to privacy.
Worcester's Implacable Books is run by TERFs and platforming TERFs. Shun them.
nah im good
🚨 Must-read from @jvl.bsky.social about bizarre backstory of Natalie Harp & how her too-good-to-be-true tale about Trump saving her life was crafted to get attention in the MAGA media ecosystem The fact her biography is fabricated helps explain why she's resisted trying for a security clearance
Helpfully underlining exactly what kind of crackpot crackdown bullshit this is and always was
The US government has designated the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati, which produces the infrastructure of NoBlogs.org, a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," freezing their assets and prohibiting all transactions with them——citing their "far-left" politics for justification.

The US is targeting the anarchist collective that hosts the popular Noblogs wordpress platform as terrorists. This is truly batshit (as are their various obvious lies about Rose City Antifa etc). This is a HUGE attack on basic free speech. www.state.gov/releases/off...

This week, a woman named Keshia Golden took a plea deal after she killed her abuser in self-defense while 8 months pregnant. Her case is one of many examples of the disproportionate criminalization of Black women who fight back to survive abuse. spitfirenews.com/p/keshia-gol...
How the state punishes victims who kill their abusers in self-defense
Three Black women in Chicago were unjustly charged with murder. Their outcomes prove vast systemic failures.

Dolly Parton is credited in at least 37 research papers on the COVID vaccine, including the first phase I trial results published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2020.
This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
Covering Hasan Piker as an anti-semite who tarnishes all Democrats serves the interests of the bosses who control the media so that coverage is ubiquitous. Covering GOP Congressional candidates as anti-semites because they endorse Nazis does not serve those interests so it doesn't get covered
a million pieces/segments sneering at hasan piker and the co-chair of the DSA, meanwhile a republican congressional candidate in upstate new york named peter oberacker is the grandson of an actual nazi germany soldier and his former staffer was part of the 'i love hitler' young GOP group chat
so I guess the sequence of events is: —complain about trans women in the WNBA —turns out there are no trans women in the WNBA —have a guy say "I'm a woman lmaoooooo 😉😜🤣 let me in the WNBA" —WNBA says "no, that's not how that works" —turn to camera and say "but you see this proves my point actually"
Yeah the kids maybe need to just be ok with not getting this one. Thank God they don't know what it was like back then.
it's hard to explain to the younger generation how meaningful The Rocky Horror Picture Show was, in spite of its uhhhhh very muddled gender politics. the idea that sex/gender/gender performance could be, like, fun? not a punishment? was brand fucking new to me when I watched it at seventeen.
Annie Andrews: "What she [Darline Graham] said there was that her healthcare plan is, 'you should work hard until you die' ... I believe Darline's parents deserved better."
"Time Warp" is about the changing mores and morals over a very short amount of time because of postwar generational cultural shifts and the influx of mass media and how it affects the younger generations political outlooks ("jump to the left," "step to the right," etc.) In this essay I will discuss
If only those dem politicians thought of us as people and not a debatable issue or at least acted like they do
People need to stop spreading LIES. Nobody on the Democratic side wants to ERODE Trans rights. We demand EQUAL RIGHTS for EVERY PERSON. full stop. Republicans want to DENY rights to everyone who is not cis-white-Christian-male and Trans people are currently at the top of the list next to immigrants.
One thing we will NOT be doing today is putting THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW on trial as "good" or "bad" queer media, not on my watch.
ordinary people have no idea the system is such a kafkaesque nightmare
Tomorrow's handout for my Immigration 101 lecture is really throwing the students in the deep end.
