Great! Is there a possibility they could be locked away?

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Chuck doesn’t care about the rest of America. Just hook up farmers in Iowa who desperately need Canadian potash. The rest of you can fuck off.

This evening, the Tesco in the City was playing Geri Halliwell's "Mi Chico Latino."
actually respect the pub I'm in for playing The Velvet Underground's Heroin, beautifully unhinged choice for a cosy pub on a Monday night

Just like in Star Trek when the Federation avoids primitive societies, that's how they'd view us—they’d steer clear of us entirely!

Sometimes you can't just believe someone when they say the stove is hot; you have to feel the burn yourself. As Gaza lies in ruins, we're witnessing the breakdown of a once-functioning U.S. government.
“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

Boycott the corporations that have bowed to Trump! Reject this administration—don't collaborate or assist them! Instead, frustrate their efforts at every turn! No need to break laws; instead, employ nonviolent resistance inspired by the French resistance!

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
