production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

You cannot reform an organization that would target a five-year-old just because people didn't think he should be imprisoned and suffer. DHS and ICE have been cruel and unnecessary from first principles, and they must be rejected completely.
HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.

Every time I see a freak out about this supposedly ominous level of organization, I remember how we coordinated to solve an ARG advertising 5 brand gum
They are such losers and so behind the curve they are horrified by people being motivated and competent

If anybody has any hot tips on convincing someone that the NYT is definitely NOT the "last totally reliable media," please help me out. 🫠 Maybe it would take a video from a white male Boomer to get through, hard to say

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

Hello, I am not an especially notable Muppets fan, and I endorse the new The Muppet Show special. Like finding a jean jacket that's almost like one you lost years ago, and being pleasantly surprised that while isn't the exact same one, it actually fits and feels good.

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Everyone's like, oh if you want to move cross-country, just rent, it's cheaper... and I just found an open tab for a place requiring multiple references, a credit score above 725, and minimum 3x income. The rent is $3,125 and does not include utilities 🫠💀
