damn if only I’d had the entrepreneurial energy to build a career on vibes

LA: we will fight you.

Chicago: we will fight you.

PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

They wanna look like Big Strong Boys so bad... deny them.

We are all way too hot for everything to be this bullshit all the time.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I’m sure this will turn out fine

every day it's a man who looks like my father, taken to the ground. a man who looks like my brother, on his knees. a woman who looks just like my sister, screaming for her children. every day.

If you’re feeling immobilized and at a loss for what to do right now, I recommend starting small and checking in on your friends, especially those in communities impacted by ICE raids.

If you’ve done that and want to do more, my DMs are open

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

Live más!

This reads like something out of a dystopian novel. We are so cooked

Also those of us who read the science on Covid and live with LC have been screaming about this risk for years now, and we keep being proved right

The new Submittable logo… is bad…

news seems to be bending over backwards to not just report that the president *declared a civil war today*, describing the military occupation of major urban areas "a war too. it's a war from within"

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Disabled people tried to warn you that fascism wouldn’t stop with us

Other marginalized people gave the same warning

Fascists never stop

Hegseth ramped up the discrimination by targeting “fat troops, generals & admirals”

He’s going to force them to do PT tests

Resist. They won’t stop with us.

You don’t have to read between the lines. Trump is literally saying, publicly and out loud, that he is at war — actual, military-involved war — with Americans and American cities he personally dislikes. That impeachment is politically off the table is a national scandal.

starting to think that an increasingly senile trump is being shown a different reality by his aides by making ai videos of shit and telling him it’s real news

A huge win for trans people in California: the state legislature passed five bills protecting our rights!

Now it's time to call on Governor Gavin Newsom to sign them. Contact him before October 12th: transfamilysos.org/action-neede...

If ever there was to be a time of widespread uprisings against the closing fist of this authoritarian frenzy, it would be now: Things are becoming bad but are not yet so bad that no one can do anything. Very narrow window for action here.

Is Broadview, IL an outlier, or a domino? Time will tell.

Billions of dollars and he couldn’t afford a decent wig.

BAHAAHAHA LMAO
