Tenant organizing, mutual aid, mask blocs, prisoner support, immigration/ICE defense, public education & engagement, and so much more… There are people out there that have been doing the work you want to get involved in. Find them. Solidarity 🖤
The way forward is the same as it’s always been - organize your neighborhood, your household, your workplace. Nobody is coming to save us except ourselves. Look out for one another.

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states:
“'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell."
Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Please join me in appreciating this galaxy, which, while technically unremarkable and randomly selected from a database of tens of thousands, is an unimaginably vast and distant structure with its own unique and breathtaking beauty
A barred spiral galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey.
It is at redshift 0.008 (lookback time 114.365 million years) with coordinates (210.08383, 38.91542).
This classification was made in the Galaxy Zoo 2 project.

This is the most important thing in American politics and I'm incredibly exhausted by how rare it is for somebody to say it out loud. Do you understand that voters winning elections and losing all their rights is ITSELF corrosive to democracy? Even aside from WHAT we lose?
I am once again begging people with power within the Democratic Party to devise a better strategy for dealing with the right-wing death grip on the courts than "win every election for 30 years and hopefully appoint their replacements."
In 30 years of this there won't be anything left to salvage.

Having a genuine run-in with the collapse of media, as I look through the candidates on my mail-in ballot and can’t find any information on any of the candidates. Not even like a “where do porter and schiff stand on the issues”! It’s context collapse all the way down.

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

A number of people have commented, “I thought she’d live forever.” And when you think about it, it doesn’t sound out of the question.

Saw "The Devils" at the Aero here in Santa Monica.
Throughout the movie some alte kocker in the back was muttering criticisms. "Terrible shot," etc.
Someone finally stood up and said, "Sir, please have some respect for the great Ken Russell."
The voice said, "I AM the great Ken Russell."

PSA: the very hard to find, nearly impossible to stream, and utterly amazing Ken Russell film The Devils popped up on the Criterion Channel with very little fanfare. Run don’t walk to catch it before it’s gone

What could they possibly have meant when they said no one who “engaged in insurrection” shall hold “any office?” Perhaps we’ll never know.
