Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Pedro Pascal at Cannes on the Trump regime’s war on migrants: “I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile.”
Pedro Pascal at #Cannes: "I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

For my little bit of resistance I got some chickens and a coop. Only one chicken lays eggs. I feed them (chicken approved) scraps so my parents don’t throw them in the trash.

I need more egg laying chicken. Is there a part of BSky that’s lefty homesteading??

The fight to abolish prisons is b/c they're a fascist tool. The president "loves" the idea of sending citizens to prison camps in El Salvador is allowed by our astronomical incarceration rate & mass deportation apparatus. Its fascist today as it was yesterday. Let this moment radicalize you.

Property damage is definitely a valid form of protest. Just ask Jesus.

Some thoughts after two weeks of constant group chats (and not one leak 🤗) and feeling like maybe my tarot/oracle pulls last night are correct.

Full text is in the alt text.
NOTES FROM THE CHAIR I am finding myself seeking new ways to build community as we watch the regime unfold before us. Neighbors need us, and our community is only as safe as we make it. While DSA is a political organization, we cannot ignore that in 2025, survival is political. "We keep us safe" is not just a platitude I toss around to sound brave or worldly. I genuinely believe that. We keep us safe, fed, sheltered, healthy, and alive. If we look back at history, organizing at the hyperlocal and regional levels was what worked well. Now is not the time to silo ourselves into factions of "the left." If we truly believe "we keep us safe," we must begin organizing around that by committing to our communities. Plant food gardens, share skills and resources, and be brave together when you see the need. with rugged hope,

Feeling different ways about continuing to try and organize under DSA. I feel like I’m supposed to not acknowledge a lot of things as a chapter chair and whew it’s making it feel difficult to keep asking people to join an org. But honestly what the fuck is an alternative? PSL has its own problems.

i don't know if i've ever felt more hopeless than watching an elderly black man get dragged out of the room for calling out fascism while dozens of white people sat silently with their lollipop signs and watched and did nothing

I am sure it has always been this way, but y’all we aren’t going to get fucking anything done if all we do is shit on actions without providing *other* concrete actions for people. Maybe a 1 day boycott somehow started by a problematic white dude won’t do much economically 1/

On this day in 1965, James Baldwin participated in a nationally televised debate against archconservative William Buckley on the topic of segregation.

The debate is considered a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights movement.

Entered the twilight zone of my childhood yesterday while using the bathroom at is what now an Ocean State Job Lot, but they did zero remodeling so this was and is my childhood Walmart bathroom.
