Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

I had no idea the creator of VeggieTales was a chill guy. Most people I know of who make explicitly Christian media tend to be crazies.

Also, this series of tweets really highlights just how wild the Book of Revelation is. There's a reason Aphrodite's Child's 666 turned out the way it did.

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly:

why are these people advertising that they've raised their children to be pathetic little shut-in cowards, as if it's a good thing

Rep. Lisa McClain, on CNN, praising President Trump for deploying the National Guard to Washington:

"My daughter could actually ride the Metro for the first time since she has been in DC."

4. For those raised in whiteness: the work is to remember you weren't born white. You were made white. That false identity was engineered to make you defend a system that steals from everyone.
Even you. Historically, whiteness can't justify itself.
So when it's challenged, your amygdala fires off alarm signals, fear, defensiveness, denial. That's not "fragility." That's implicit conditioning. 5/6

We also need to raise hell for every trans and brown and queer and black person who is not nearly as famous as Kimmel.

Normal, everyday people deserve to be just as loudly defended.

Kimmel won. Winning matters, wins are how we’re going to prevent this autocratic slide.

App reviews of 1 star over mass censorship issues feels like a very proportional response. The dream of these people is to make a “sellable” product out of Bluesky, and if you want to reduce that potential value, mass app reviews with filled out critical comments is the way to go.

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · 21d

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

This is the modest level of rich I want to be.
To be able to buy a house big enough and be able to pay some fine licensed and bonded local tradespeople to make me one of these.

Plus my own private roller rink. Then I’m good.

Planning on a NYC trip in January and apart from Maybe Happy Ending (and Masquerade NYC if it's still open) I'm going back and forth on which shows I I should prioritize. Suggestions?

New York Theater @newyorktheater.bsky.social · 20d

Farewell, Cabaret,
It was a fine affair, But now it's over,
And though I used to care, I need the open air
You're better off without me mein Herr
