AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

I realize there’s so much going on rn, but I was rejected from the community theatre production I was really hoping to get into. That was my entire summer plan. What’s going to keep away the void now?

This bill in OK is exactly what Project 2025 threatened: to make all pornography illegal, and criminalize the people who make it, using a WILDLY broad definition of pornography, which would include any book with sex in it.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

The weirdest thing about Americans embracing Nazism or the Confederacy in the name of patriotism is that actual American patriots fought *against* both of those movements and won decisively.

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.

“For those who didn’t grow up with authoritarian dynamics, here’s one piece of unsolicited advice from a transgender exvangelical: when communicating with authoritarians, never assume they mean the same thing you mean when they use the same words—and never take their rhetoric at face value”
So, if you read my latest Bugbear Dispatch, you know I dissected the history of the trashy hit song “God Bless the USA” as a Christian nationalist symbol.

Do not commit the sin of empathy.
This snake is God’s enemy and yours too. She hates God and His people. You need to properly hate in response.
She is not merely deceived but is a deceiver. Your eye shall not pity.
