Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory.

If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.
Trump just announced his own Hunger Games
In case you needed a reminder that we're living in a fascist hellscape.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

#CallToAction for civil servants who work in our legal system. We sit here day after day watching our government shit all over our Constitution & gaslight half the country into calling it heroism. Why are we cowering? Law can be used against them to. Use #StatePower & #ArrestFederalAgents. Protect 🇺🇲

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I’m once again asking for you and @notalawyer.bsky.social to cover Ingrid Jacques 🥲 she’s such a nutjob!
NYC, Seattle just chose socialist mayors. Wake up, America. | Opinion
What's even more concerning is these socialists' desire to get the government much more entrenched in business and daily life.

I don’t understand giving your money to go someplace you don’t want to be just to make someone else upset. What a sad life.
Disneyland in Anaheim has long celebrated Gay Days and they have, in recent, years added a mid-winter fest called "Mini-Gay days." Well, guess what? MAGA cultists have decided they're going to invade the celebration this year.

They just can't stop being assholes.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve.

No contract? NO COFFEE!

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

Ok, so I’m trying to catch up with the big books getting Newbery buzz this year. Shocking no one, I hate most of them. But the one I’m reading now? The parents act WILD for grown people. (1/2).

And the fuckery begins. I literally saw a review for this movie that criticized it “not giving a Previously in Oz..” refresher at the beginning. Babe, what sequels have you been watching? 👀🧐 Watch the first movie again before seeing it if you need a refresher. That’s how sequels work!

NEW: "Wicked: For Good" is a potent fascism allegory that speaks in the language of one of America's most successfully enduring pieces of mass culture.

So we just saw Wicked Pt. 2
Fantastic movie. Beautiful. Cynthia & Ariana killed it with the vocals.

But I know even with the new songs beating you over the head, the discourse is gonna pmo 😒 the ppl from last year will have watched 6 hours and the point will fly over their head like the monkeys.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

Worse, one of my favorite books of the year is nominated and I know it’s going to lose to a book people haven’t read but name recognition…like every year
The Goodreads Choice awards are always really lame and yet I keep looking at the nominees as if more than 3 of the books I've read and loved are going to be nominated.
