CCEA Union Rep
Did anyone else have California secedes from the Union on their 2025 bingo card?
"California, and the country, cannot await the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required."
It’s time for soft secession
How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

My wife has been telling anyone who'd listen FOR DECADES that A Bugs Life is a socialist film.
The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

We've been saying this since 2016, abolish ICE!
This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.
I am just so fucking proud of her.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free"

I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

Ask courageous questions.
Do not be satisfied with superficial answers. Be open to wonder and at the same time subject all claims to knowledge, without exception, to critical scrutiny.
Be aware of human fallibility.
Cherish your species and your planet.

We need more Sagan's in this world.
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.

The moment #OzzyOzbourne died Crazy Train played in Hell.

Demons look about terrified, tortured souls smiled for the first time in centuries, and Satan himself cowered behind his terrible throne.

The Prince of Darkness threw horns and sang,

"All aboard, ha-ha-ha!"

The Damned: "Ayy, ayy, ayy!"

Does anyone remember the "Sneak Peek" episode of #BatmanBeyond where a sleazy tabloid journo gets a belt that lets him walk through walls, tries to blackmail Batman and Terry, then ends up falling into the center of the Earth while Bruce smirks?

Great stuff!

I was a film festival intern at an after party where Christopher McDonald, aka Shooter McGavin, was happily talking to people and being a normal guy. I, on the other hand, proceeded to stare at him from across the bar while trying to fight the overwhelming urge to scream, "Shoota!" #happygilmore2
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
