This scene from Rogue One perfectly sums up the experience of living in America, right now.
a man wearing a helmet screams with his mouth open
Alt: A GIF from the climax of Rogue One, in which a Rebel fighter, wearing an elongated white half clamshell shaped helmet is pounding on the window of an airlock and screaming in terror, HELP US!!!! as, behind him, Darth Vader is mowing down everyone with his lightsaber.

Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Reminder that our Constitution guarantees due process to ALL persons — not just citizens — and enshrines habeas corpus as a fundamental right.

Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

I stand up with you! Silence is complicity!
I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.

I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

We released Wolfenstein 3D on this day (May 5th) in 1992. Here's a local television news report about it. What an amazing time that was. #wolfenstein #gamedev #retrogames

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

I'm pleased/impressed to find that this quote attributed to the late Pope Francis (and dated just a few days ago) is authentic:

"Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell."

Always keep watch. Eventually the aliens will slip up and do something unhuman a little too nonchalantly. Then we'll know. 👽🛸

Yesterday, the lifeform we call "Elly De La Cruz" forgot himself and took flight to catch this baseball. 😮
