“Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.”

Incredible, timeless advice.

Also; don’t. talk to cops. If you get arrested, shut the fuck up.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Hell yeah, that's Jennifer Welch from the I've Had It Podcast

They've gotten pretty radical since '24, and are brutal interviewers, but dems just assume they're empty headed reality TV star moms.

eg. Jen asking a gubernatorial candidate if he will refuse AIPAC funds in his race

Transsexuals are systematically among the poorest, least employed, most mistreated on the job, most pushed into underground economy populations there is. The irony of this next to that reality is just so stunning that I can only conceive of this tweet as an intentional psychic attack.

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

it’s disgusting to me that Mahomes is getting MVP buzz over Baker Mayfield.

no, I cannot believe I’m saying this in the year 2025 either, but it was said. Mayfield has been better with worse luck around him.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

For the past month, we’ve been celebrating the contributions of Minnesota’s Latino communities - from business to technology to the arts.

Great to see that work in action today at the Alebrijes: Keepers of the Island art exhibit on Raspberry Island.

Asking ChatGPT is like asking Pinky if he's pondering what you're pondering. The fact he is a lab rat who can form coherent sentences is impressive, but he's still going to be fucking wrong.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

absolutely do not need to hear YOUR stories where this wasn’t the case. my opinion was asked for and provided. If you disagree, cool. post your own take.

Dirt (jesse pikmin) @dirtworldwide.bsky.social · 1d

if the author can’t write a short passage describing the story they’ve written on the back of the book/inside sleeve that grips you and compels you to buy it, then you’re probably not going to like the book either.

People don't need more evidence to conclude he's a white supremacist. Evidence isn't the issue here. The problem is convincing people that white supremacy is a threat rather than something they can elide and quietly benefit from without actually saying they like it.

☠️deadward niedermurder☠️ @niedermeyer.online · 1d

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Musk is funding the legal battle of UK Far Right activist Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon - as he faces charges brought by counterterrorism police.

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has fought state laws that let people in prison ask for reviews of their claims to innocence. He has described a 2021 law that expanded that review process a "woke, hug-a-thug policy."

He’s Been On Louisiana’s Death Row for Decades. A Judge Just Vacated His Conviction.

Chris Duncan’s longtime claims of innocence were boosted by the discrediting of bite mark analysis, and by recent reforms now under threat from the state’s Republican leadership.

I thought this was lovely.

"A few years ago I received a DM from Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Only recently did I discover its existence. It was a very unusual DM—especially coming from a local assemblyman who would soon be running for higher office. He had very little name recognition at the time, and could have benefited from publicity. But unlike the thousands of messages I’ve received from people with something to promote, Zohran did not ask to be featured on Humans of New York. Instead he asked if he could introduce me to taxi drivers that were struggling beneath the burden of debt. Coming from a man with political ambitions, this self-denying request was so strange as to be almost singular. I don’t endorse politicians on Humans of New York. But I’ll endorse a good man. And it was a good man who cleared 30 minutes from his schedule yesterday to swing by Grand Central and visit Dear New York’s Vanderbilt Hall Exhibition. Nearly fifty-student artists were visiting that day with their families, and I thought a surprise visit from this widely-loved future mayor would be a special memory for all of them. Before Zohran’s arrival I was convinced I’d made a terrible mistake. The exhibit was filled to capacity with adult visitors. Dear New York is self-funded so there was very little staff and security for crowd control. In the crush of people I was almost certain this special day for the kids would devolve into thirty minutes of selfie requests. But everyone rose to the occasion."

"Hundreds of adults quickly cleared the room and stood outside the exhibit. Eleven very notable adult photographers are also featured in the show, but even they took a step back, so that these students could briefly have the stage to themselves. Each child stood by their work and Zohran was able to meet all of them, one at a time, and honor their contributions to the most-visited art show in New York City. Thanks to everyone who ceded the stage yesterday to make this moment possible. Thank you Zohran for literally sitting down on the floor so that these young artists could feel so tall. Thanks for continually centering other people in your life and work. And thank you, for being such an important part of Dear New York."

A large group of children and adults pose together indoors in front of a sign reading "DEAR." A man in a suit sits cross-legged in front, surrounded by smiling kids. The background features an ornate architectural detail.
