Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

In case you hadn't noticed:

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

Bookmarked for the inevitable surrender.

It’s #WIPWednesday! 🧶 This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops. Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta. Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky

Every state needs to do this ASAP

The media doesn't want you to see that it's not a jail, it's slavery.

OMG! I've been asked to be a part of the Not The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Sat, Apr 26 @ 9 PM ET, presented by Political Voices Network! Join us for fearless comedy that rips into media spin. Tickets are $20.26, live or on demand, at meethook.live/not. #FreeSpeech #NotTheWHCD

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil. We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

Never.

I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent. That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

a gen x classic rewritten for the times🥲

Flav out here on a goddamn heater tonight

I would like for stupid people to stop making important decisions that affect my life

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: "There will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China." As predicted, it was yet another pump and dump on the stock market. Endless market manipulation.

Walz: Here in Minnesota, freedom means several things. It means freedom from hunger and poverty. That means freedom to worship or not. It means the freedom to be who you are anyway you choose, and that is a birthright..

You know who actually has an anti-Christian bias? The Christian nationalists.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Pete Hegseth just said he will examine the promotion of “fat” people to leadership positions in the military and seek to stop them. There's a very fat orange man who's Commander in Chief. Can we start with him?

Pete Hegseth installed a make-up station at the Pentagon. JD Vance loves a smoky dark eyeliner. Trump cakes on orange base till he resembles an Oompa Loompa. And these guys say LGBTQs are threatening gender norms?

It's like someone reached deep into my soul, ripped out the most essential part, and made a sign out of it.

the nice thing about having a little guy in your house is you get home, sit down, and

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

Words to live by.

Is there something you need to tell us?

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Today is Day 12. Still 0 deals.

The guys with the nets need to take him away.

Stephen Miller turns the fascism up to 11 on Fox News

remembering perhaps the funniest interaction on twitter i’ve ever seen

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

The same shit, different assholes

This is him being nice

i love that we got 4 new hubble images today and we still continue to get more after 35 years 🥹 hubble really is the little telescope that could!!!

Who else AGREES with David?! 🤚 One. Of. The. Good. Guys. 😎✨

Two days ago he said eggs were down 95%.

Thank God I missed that event 🤣

if the hardcore band looks like this you are going to die in the pit

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the consumer messaging app Signal set up on a computer in his office at the Pentagon so that he could send and receive instant messages in a space where personal cellphones are not permitted, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Push Shitler’s approval ratings into the 30s and keep them there. Keep highlighting the corruption, and keep up the ridicule.

Of course they want to help Russia www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident, has been held in an ICE detention center for over a month but has still not been charged with a crime.

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

Again, birds have a lot to teach us. #birds

Nintendo has cancelled the Switch 2 in response to preorder frenzy. "Your vulgar appetites betray you," said company president Furukawa, "That you are a people without grace. We will await a new era." At press time, Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto and Redmond had vanished from the face of earth.

No more chicken. I’ve switched to greens…

Good morning 🌞

6 years and not *once* has this dog ever woken me up. Every day I have to be the one to drag him out of bed lol

yea cream on it

This is really really scary and bad www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Pathetic. Putin isn't even on Truth Social but it'll get back to him, and he will just laugh his ass off. Just like the rest of the world is laughing at us right now.

Sen. Durbin does what Bluesky demands, and instead of praise/thanks he gets dunked on more. It’s the way of (this tiny corner) of the world. But don’t forget: he invented the whole notion of Dreamers/DACA, and (I just found out!) is the person responsible for banning smoking in all public spaces.

You may have lost 20% of your retirement but good news:

this 1996 commercial for claritin sent me into flight or flight. an absolute psycho directed this

A ‘Vladimir, STOP!’ post on Truth Social appears to be Trump’s secret plan revealed to end the war. We have never looked more foolish and pathetic.

I'd say more precisely that we have people going all in on the idea that self-discipline is about having what it takes to dunk your head in a bowl of ice water every morning rather than having what it takes to treat someone different from you like a human being.

A lot of very distinguished people who swore an oath to preserve the Constitution are watching it get cut to pieces.

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend! A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

The only states worth visiting, just made themselves known…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

CBS, let’s face it, your betrayal is unforgivable.

This administration has no serious people.

Toxic masculinity isn’t a concern here, and we don’t view empathy as toxic. For centuries, adult males have huddled together, protecting the colony’s most vulnerable, giving their future a chance amidst the raging storms that threaten them.

Me waking up with some random song that I’ve not listened to in years stuck in my head.

Hear no evil, hear all evil, hear some evil.

F*** that nice write-up in the Guardian. This is my all-time favourite review of one of my books.
