How do I pin someone else's skeet?

A famous Klingon once said, "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Cruelty in jest is still cruelty. Bigotry as irony is still bigotry. Do not pretend to be that which you do not want to be.

Firing federal employees during a shutdown is not only illegal but must be seen for what it is: blatant extortion.

The Trump Administration is using working people and their families as pawns in a power play with no concern for who gets hurt.

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Holy shit they're going to blame Trump's insane tariff war and instability causing the market to crash with "AI is so good it's already taking millions of jobs" lol

Amazing, seemless transition.

illustration of a tavern inside a Halloween pumpkin with a candle in the center where little tables and stools are organised around. The door is carved on the "mouth" of the pumpkin with the nose and eyes closed with glass to serve as windows. There is a gecko skull on the wall above the nose and shelves of liquor on the walls.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

The unifying theory of all American conservatives is that they all demand that you be their friends at gunpoint, and tell them how handsome and special they are

grimm ☀️ @mugrimm.bsky.social · 29d

The conservative project always makes much more sense when you realize it's just run by upper middle class American christian nationalist who are basically completely fine in material position but furious the entire country doesn't bow to their weird cultural preferences.

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month
