Trump is actively holding the nation's poor and hungry hostage to score political points. This is evil. Look up evil in the dictionary and this is what you see. Protest, vote, talk to your neighbors. This cannot stand!

Over 350 people showed up in a small town in NW Iowa, one of the most conservative parts of the country. The response from those driving by was overwhelmingly positive!

If you are able, I encourage you all to get out to one of the No Kings protests today. I'll be attending in a small town in one of the most conservative parts of the country. Be visible, be peaceful, make your voice heard!

Minecraft introducing the new copper golem (you put a carved pumpkin on top of of a block of copper, FYI) got me thinking. What if Donald Trump is just a carved pumpkin that someone put on top of two blocks of shit?

Today I learned about a constructed language called Toki Pona (meaning "good language" in Toki Pona) that only has around 180 words, depending on how you count them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona

"Sports is one of the many passions of this president, and he wants to see the name of that team changed," Leavitt said to reporters. "I think you've seen the president gets involved in a lot of things that most presidents have not. He's a non-traditional president." NON-TRADITIONAL? Sounds woke

Anyone else feel like they really want to do something about the state of the world, but don't know which of the 1.4k existential crises that humanity is facing to focus on?

I love how conservatives are all like "Trump lied about the Epstein files! I can't believe he would lie!" as if every word that has come out of his mouth for the last 10 years hasn't been a lie.

TIL about an alphabet commissioned by George Bernard Shaw intended to replace the Roman alphabet for English. The characters are so well designed and elegant. Wildly impractical, but cool! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian...

Reading up on the Mayoral race in NYC, learned that they switched to ranked choice voting in 2021. We need RCV everywhere ASAP if we are going to get real reform in this country.

Y'all remember when republicans would get so angry when protestors or radicals would say "death to America?" A bit ironic now that they have all voted for America's death.

I saw Superman yesterday and I was really impressed. A message of hope, goodness, an admonition of genocide and tyranny -- Everything that a superhero should represent. Go see it in theaters if you can!

While America has done horrible things throughout its history; slavery, abysmal treatment of native Americans, imperialism, homophobia and more, I used to be proud of what our nation was becoming. This 4th of July, I am terrified and appalled at what we are becoming. I do not feel like celebrating.
