Anti-kakistocracy advocate living in a blue haven. I’m your auntie. I knit.
I wasn’t able to go to any of the protests today, but seeing all of the pictures from across the globe of people coming together today has made me feel hope for the first time in a long time.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

A boat transporting individuals to a Telemundo party celebrating one year out from the World Cup was boarded by the coast guard. They checked the immigration status of the staff on the boat. The mayor of Miami-Dade, FIFA officials, and Telemundo leadership were present.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people

no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

The Trump Regime is putting legal immigrants in the Social Security death file to prevent them from accessing their money. If they can do that to legal residents, they can do that to you. Any patriots who work for the SSA want to get into some good trouble?

Himes: Elise Stefanik was a classic Bob Dole Republican when she got here, then did what she needed to do to become a MAGA darling. And now, just as high office is within reach, the Shakespearean gods have pulled the rug out from under her. So, call it karma, Shakespearean, whatever you want.

Someone needs to compile a list of all these "bad lawyers" in the current DOJ with where they got their degrees and where they are admitted to the bar.

Rather than prevent the looming economic calamity, they’re going to blame it on Biden.
