A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.

They are clearly really scared by the No Kings protests this weekend. I wasn’t sure that I was going to go to the Boston one, but the more these MAGA fascists denounce them, the more inclined I am to attend.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

If you make jokes about gas chambers, rape and slavery, it's just 30 year old kids being kids.

Chilling around the house on a Saturday? Want something to watch, maybe while you do weekend chores?

The latest episode of "Standing Room Only" just shows how we keep getting better. This week we take on Karoline Leavitt's cross necklace — and the emptiness of the "Christianity" it represents.

New "Standing Room Only!" In this episode, I take a look at Karoline Leavitt's $50,000 cross, which is a perfect symbol of what MAGA thinks Christianity is.

Then @johnfugelsang.bsky.social joins me to discuss how the loudest Christians know the least about Jesus.

Red-breasted merganser watercolor comic, sorry had to after seeing bsky.app/profile/hibb...
Watercolor sketch: a male red-breasted merganser does the courtship dance of sticking his butt out of the water and looking weird (see real-life red-breasted merganser mating dance). Says: Huhhhughhuh s'up ladies, huhuhuh. A group of female mergansers on rocks are watching. First one: Ugh. Second one: Creep. Third one is gawking in delight and her tail feathers are fanning like crazy trying to cool her down.

Megalodicopia lives attached to the rocky seafloor, orienting a cavernous mouth into the currents. Their oral siphon has evolved into a large pair of lips that quickly close to engulf larger prey. Watch here: youtu.be/9GtoRBfC4Os?...

Text post. Poem on a dark background. Poem reads: A skull is a music box, the dancer forever turning in the dark. A skull is a time capsule, with keepsakes held well out-of-season. A skull is a chrysalis, sheltering an endless becoming. A skull is a labyrinth, where the monster shares your name. A skull is a garden, faithfully growing what you sow. A skull is a library, words accreting like river silt. A skull is a beacon, calling to those who share the same light.

"There was no policy prohibiting the display of flags on El Capitan until the day after Joslin and their team hung the trans flag"~ Yosemite National Park fired a trans park ranger last week for hanging a transgender pride flag on the iconic El Capitan in May.
www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...
Joslin, who is 35 and had been going to the park for more than a decade prior to working there, has written Yosemite climbing guidebooks and volunteered to work overtime to help issue hiking permits and manage traffic in the park. As a wildlife biologist, they managed the park’s “big wall bats” program, to study how bats use cliffs and protect them from a deadly disease called white-nose syndrome. Joslin said they came up with the idea to hang the trans pride flag on El Capitan in the spring after President Donald Trump issued a variety of executive orders targeting trans people, including orders to change the federal definition of sex to exclude trans identities, restrict access to trans health care and prohibit trans women from competing in female sports. They also cited the long history of a variety of flags being flown on the rock’s face, including by park employees. For example, park employees flew an upside-down U.S. flag during Yosemite’s firefall event in February to protest the Trump administration’s cuts of National Park Service employees. A group of activists also raised a “Stop the genocide” flag on El Capitan in support of Palestinians in Gaza in June 2024.

Trans Is Natural, which describes itself as a coalition of transgender, queer and ally climbers, said that its members unfurled the flag which is 55 feet by 35 feet- the largest ever displayed on El Capitan in Yosemite- “in an act of solidarity and resistance"

Just saw a mutual with a lot of followers refer to Israel as "a pedophile nation"

I know this is asking too much, but can we keep the accusations out of the QAnon realm and more in the "they're committing genocide" area?

And they're doing this in defiance of state law, probably moving forward because Newsom has made it clear that he doesn't support the existing law and wants the state legislature to change it.

While Newsom pals around with Nazis and has his staffers write like just totally epic tweets mocking Trump, trans bans are spreading through California like wildfire, ignited by his willing segregation of trans girls just over a month ago.

“Burdening future generations with our brain banks is just comically arrogant. Aren’t we leaving them with enough problems?” Hendricks told me this week after reviewing Nectome’s website. “I hope future people are appalled that in the 21st century, the richest and most comfortable people in history spent their money and resources trying to live forever on the backs of their descendants. I mean, it’s a joke, right? They are cartoon bad guys.”
