From the tempest fury, the spark ignites! He/him. Stealing the golden disk to go back in time and stop humanity evolving doesn't seem so bad now, does it?

I get that Donald’s time as bass player in Cibo Matto bought him credibility with Gen X but come on. He was only in the band for like two years
Backing up The Argument in NYT/Siena, Gen X still has an astonishing 49% approval for Trump (!), while Boomers have dipped to 42%.

Gen X is currently tracking at 12 pts to the right of the electorate on the generic ballot. Now 9 pts to the right of Boomers, which has to be the largest gap ever.

ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.

I normally try to keep things light here on Bluesky...but it bears repeating that Chaya Raichik is an utterly wretched, evil excuse for a human being. I don't know the Pretti family, of course, but I pray that they're somewhere secure where MAGA creeps can't try to take their lives too.
Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people — teachers, nurses, school board members — for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.

Utah lawmakers asked for a review of studies on gender-affirming care's effects on trans youth after passing a "moratorium." Records show they planned on publicly discussing the report — until it concluded the care is largely found to have positive outcomes.

Now, they're pushing a permanent ban.
Utah lawmakers sweep their own study on care for trans kids under the rug as they push to ban it
As Utah's lawmakers move to ban gender-affirming care for transgender kids, they've avoided discussing a report they commissioned on the issue that says care helps kids.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy

I mean yeah. Look at the lifetime of your average millennial:

Reagan: Ugh
Bush Sr: More of the same
Clinton: Meh
Bush Jr: Lots of bad
Obama: OK this is good
Trump I: Fuck
Biden: There were SOME good things here
Trump II: Fuckity fuck fuck fuck
obama was probably the best president of our lifetime and biden the second

which honestly says something about the current bar
In the fullness of time I think we'll all come to recognize that Obama kinda sucked.

ice trying to threaten my family just bc we live in minneapolis and have a podcast that hates them. Grow up, fucking losers LOL
ICE just showed up at our house for the second day in a row. Four cars yesterday, today five. They rolled up slow, then got out to taunt us, and take pictures of the house. They want fear to overwhelm us, to project a fantasy of power meant to intimidate, isolate, produce obedience—not happening.

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.
Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

Never forget how Star Wars fans for years--for DECADES--were making up their own explanations for how technology in-universe worked, but SOMEHOW all that creativity dried up, oh, around 2017 for some reason.

Stop using the tools of the enemy. Please, please, please use my protest animals as icons, headers, banners whatever you want to show your solidarity. I have thrown these pieces out there for people to use, partly to give them something to use from an actual human artist.
I give you permission.
Anyone using and sharing those resistance bird icons need to know that some (or a lot) of them were created with genai. 😬

To people who want to make imagery that says something; stop using genai. Please! It's their tool. It represents theft, false and unauthentic images, lies, harm, and wrongness.
