Oh look, conservative tears.

Now we need to PROTECT this man. Trump is going to go after him with everything he's got.
The cover of the New York Post, late edition for Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, featuring a caricature of Zohran Mamdani in a red jumpsuit, white shirt and black tie, smiling warmly while holding aloft a 3D red hammer-and-sickle symbol from the Soviet Communist era, three red five pointed stars shooting through the night sky above him over a background of Manhattan, New York City, with the text "On your Marx, get set, Zo! Socialist Mamdani wind race for mayor" above the headline "THE RED APPLE" with the R in Red reversed, cyrlillic-style.

People who are racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. Say that it is dangerous to learn about other races, genders, and sexual orientations. They call it recruitment, because they don't want to give it the legitimacy of their own race, gender, or orientation.
A brick wall painted with the stripes of the trans pride flag, light blue at the top and bottom, light pink above the bottom and below the top, framing a center white stripe. Superimposed upon this image are the words "When kids learn about left-handed people, they don't all suddenly become left-handed. Learning is not becoming."

From 30th in 2024 to 48th in 2025.

I wonder what could have happened?
A list of 60 nations with the best reputations in 2024 and 2025, with virtually no country losing or gaining more than five positions between the two years, except the USA: 30th best reputation in 2024 to 48th best reputation in 2025.

Now I get to watch everyone go and see if this is actually happening.
A screenshot of a news story, with a red "LIVE" box in the upper-left corner, and a lower-third set of announcements as headlines that read: "BREAKING NEWS" "TRUMP SUES 'LEFT' TWIX FACTORY" and "PAM BONDI ANNOUNCES DOJ LAWSUIT ALLEGING 'ANTIFA' TIES TO LEFT TWIX PRODU" with the last statement trailing off-screen. The timestamp in the lower left reads 7:39.

Spotted on UW Madison campus near the WSUM radio studio by my friend:
This is a photo taken 9/18/2025 in downtown Madison, WI on the UW-Madison Campus. It shows a construction site with a raised scaffolding platform extending outward from the side of a brick building. On the very edge of the platform, high above the ground, there is a bright red portable toilet precariously placed. The setup looks unusual and somewhat unsafe, as the portapotty is perched far out over open air.

Crochety Gen X post incoming:

On a completely different topic than is going around right now: in 1980, a pack of these weighed 1.8 oz. and were $0.25. Now they're 1.5 oz for $2.19. following general inflation, it should be $0.98 today for a 1.8 oz package.

I mean we could do things the rational way and have a better world. What do you say?
holly @girlziplocked Giving poor people some money makes crime go down better than giving cops more money. Says science. We did the science. We keep doing that science. Nobody in a suit ever cares tho.

First they make money be needed for everything. Then they make credit card companies needed to use your money. Then those companies get to dictate what you can spend it on, and the artists starve (even more than usual).
A meme titled "The Myth of Artistic Freedom". It shows a pink haired artist drawing on a tablet labeled 'NSFW' saying "I want to draw it!", a gray generic happy customer holding cash saying "I want to see it!", and the logos of MasterCard and Visa shouting "I DON'T". Below that the meme says "Isn't there some random payment processor you forgot to ask?"

A transcription of a post by BladePactWarlock Look, I don't know you and I won't pretend to be able to read the future, but I will mention one thing. I had a group chat in college with my roommate and two friends, also in comp sci. Just guys being dudes for a few years. Boom, one of us is non-binary. Boom, second one is a trans woman. Boom, I'm a trans woman. Now my best friend is the only one of us who is still cis. One might think it's only a matter of time before he breaks, but I've come to a different conclusion. As the years go by more and more people in his orbit end up queer. His gf is bi, his only sibling is gender fluid, more and more of his friends come out as trans, and I think I know what's happening. He's slowly consuming the heterosexuality and cisgenderism of everyone around him. Soon there will only be two kinds of people on this earth. Queer people, and Thomas.

Republicans selling all their stock in companies that rely on Medicaid before voting for Trump's budget should be a much bigger scandal.

This seems to be the feeling I'm getting from a lot of folks on this particular July 4th. Not sure I can blame them. #EscapeFromTheUSA

Look at those beggars! Who do they think they are, people who deserve food, shelter and clean air?
This is a single-panel cartoon from the series "Sidewalk Bubblegum" by Clay Butler from 1996. The scene shows a park or public space with trees. On the left side, there are three figures: a businessman in a suit asking "Hey buddy, could you lend me some public land for grazing and logging? I swear I'll pay you back," while in front of him another businessman holds a sign reading "Bombs not Food!" while asking "Billions for weapons, Sir?" Next to them is a third businessman pleading "Brother, can you spare some subsidies for a poor agribusiness?" On the right side of the panel, two people (appearing to be a man and woman in casual clothes) are walking by. One of them tell the other one "Don't give them anything... it just creates a cycle of dependency."

This is a DISGUSTING propaganda piece cheering on the lawless regime headed by the criminal Donald J. Trump. SHAME on CNN.
A screen capture of an article at CNN World, posted the night of Saturday, June 20, 2025: Analysis: US strikes mark a stunning demonstration of military might and presidential power Analysis from CNN's Stephen Collinson President Donald Trump's attack on Iran's nuclear sites is both a stunning demonstration of US military might and unilateral presidential power. Other presidents chose not to take this step, in the belief that such action could ignite a full-on war with Iran. But the Middle East has changed - Israel has dismantled many of the Iranian proxies that it would have used to fight back.

To all the fathers out there who do their best for their young ones, Happy Father's Day. Yes, this includes trans men who are parents - you are Fathers, in my cis (bi) man book.
An image of the FTM (female to male) Trans Pride Flag, consisting of seven horizontal stripes: the top and bottom stripe each being a medium (baby) pink, the second from the top and bottom stripes being white, the stripes above and below the center stripe being a pastel blue, and the center stripe being a baby blue.

So, the terror these poor kids face at school have prepared them now for the terror that their own government may visit upon them.
A screenshot of a post from Tumblr, posted by tytonidyke "Yesterday", which was Thursday, June 12, 2025, that reads: "We got training at work today on how to deal with potential ICE raids during summer camp. We’re supposed to shelter the children in place, in management’s words, 'just like an active shooter drill'. That this is how we explain it to children - that learning how to hide from armed intruders is their normal, and they’ve never known a world without the threat of random gun violence - at camp where all they are supposed to be doing is learning and making friends - it makes me sick. Fuck this sick fucking country."
