I don't use flowery happy talk. So I'm inclined to use an ! only if I really am surprised. But I find myself using them to indicate that I am not mad. Sadly, on my phone keyboard the ! and ? are next to each other. So sometimes when I'm trying to make something happy, it ends up looking sarcastic!

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

Religious movements are *always* internally contested. It is not for historians/outsiders to decide which party to the contestation represents the “true“ version or deserves exclusive use of the movement’s name/label. Their job is rather to describe the internal diversity as accurately as possible.

Speaking for myself, after running across the country for the last five years trying to warn folks, only to have people /outlets frantically calling me not to come out and explain what's happening in this environment.. you're too damn late. And I am not risking my safety .

So since I'm annoyed let me say a few things today.Some folks have been writing about Christian Nationalism and apocalyptic right wing movements for YEARS here in the US. YEARS. Do we get to have a platform in major mags and newspapers... rarely.

They're waiting until after 2026. None of them could get elected and MAGA wouldn't follow *them* to overthrow the government. But after that Trump should watch his back because he's no use to them anymore

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

Clothing is an incredible opportunity for Americans to communicate their identity and values to bystanders and historians during huge cultural moments.

Uniforms, symbols, labels, and colors could make a lasting impression and go viral.

I hope folks think a lot about what they wear on 10/18...

Protests are amping up in major cities & #NoKings2 is on 10/18. Trump administration wants to use violence to provoke violence. What if we resist that and print "NonViolent Protester" on the back of our shirts. It would be a great visual in the media
