Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.
A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

We had over 3,000 show up in Phoenix, on less than a week of preparation. I want to say a big thank you to @50501az.org !

Thank you for reminding me I’m not alone!

There were so many fantastic sings, sign displays, and outfits worn. These are some photos I took throughout my walk, ✌️

i am constantly hearing that the left is elitist but if it is elitism to stand up for basic values of citizenship and decency against a bunch of cruel dumbasses who have no greater ambition than to tell bad jokes and hear the braying laughter of their dumbass friends, then i am an elitist

these people make me into a social conservative but for social democratic values
Wexler thinks her account can get young women to “come out” of their MAGA closets because, ideally, in her they see themselves. “We all serve different purposes. I really believe culture is upstream of politics,” Wexler told me. “It’s okay to have your values. A lot of people feel this way; they’re just too shy to say anything.” All weekend, everyone in this set kept referring to themselves as “normal.” In their eyes, they are representative of the rest of the country — if not how they look, exactly, then how they talk. After all, the mainstream media had nearly declared a Harris victory after a comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally made racist jokes about Puerto Ricans, only for Trump to set a GOP record with Latino voters. Raquel Debono, when trying to explain why she likes to tell fat jokes, told me, “I’m normal, okay? Probably the most fucking normal person here.” Even her “lib” friends, she says, enjoy a not-so-PC joke every now and then, but only behind closed doors. “I want to be skinny! You said the same thing last night, bitch! You had bulimia ten years ago!” Another example of the kind of thing she believes everyone else is thinking, too, but may be too shy to say: “The DEI bullshit? Who the fuck cares?” Off-duty from TikTok and their Fox News guest-panelist gigs, the young conservatives did exhibit a certain level of willingness to really get into it in a mostly productive way, which, I’ll admit, is more than I can say about a lot of people back in Brooklyn. Still, it was disconcerting how often a normal conversation with one of these so-called normal people could cannonball from politics and policy into, at the very least, a not-so-PC joke and, at worst, something hateful. When I first reached out to Wexler, for example, asking to talk about her weekend plans for the inauguration, she wrote back, “Let’s do it. Full transparency, I think ‘pronouns’ are ‘retarded.’” She asked me to tell my readers that. “Tomorrow, we’re going to have images of th…

@aragusea.bsky.social I'm watching Rebecca Watson's (Skepchick) newest video It seems you were correct about the miscalculation in the paper exploring the risks of black plastics! Thank you for reading the paper and paying attention to the ACTUAL results!

Deep Space 9 scene. The Sisko, Bashir, and Odo are in the kitchen and shoulder to shoulder. Sisko is wearing some of that classic colorful DS9 loungwear and cooking over a stove. He's holding out a spatula for Bashir to take a look or do a taste test. (Side note, I always wonder, does it go back in the pot? Do they use 20 new spoons doing taste tests?) Anyways, Basir looks nervous at whatever it is he's seeing. Odo, like a little brother wanting to be included in the party, stands just behind the two looking over Bashir's shoulder with great curiosity. Closed caption reads, "Beets are a very misunderstood vegetable."

My social media feed has been full of liberals insisting that Trump stole the 2024 election, and as proof they're pointing to a hacking "expert" named Stephen Spoonamore. I looked at Spoonamore's evidence & am sorry to say he's got nothing. skepchick.org/2024/11/stop...
