I've previously said that the real world-ender omega level power in the x-men universe would be a kid with ADHD who constantly & unpredictably generates new powers where the trick is the powers only last as long as the novelty does, but I'd also add 1 constant/recurrent power: The Worst Time Travel.

So i used to do a hashtag #BreakingHarms on Twitter, and i am reviving it over here now. If you're sensitive to discussion about SA, you might want to keyword-mute "Gaiman" and "Good Omens" for the next few days.

(The news is not good, folks, & people will have a lot of terrible opinions.)

That’s great. Doesn’t Mike Dukakis walk around picking up garbage? Whereas I used to live near James Carville & Mary Matalin and have personally witnessed him not picking up after his dogs.

Arizona Indivisibles collected 31,939 signatures (145% of their goal of 22,000) to stop a GOP abortion ban and restore reproductive freedom in their state. Please show some love to our Arizona volunteers for a very successful year of determined work in every county from Apache to Yuma! 👏

Pointing again at my US Blue State Challenge. If you live in a "blue state", pick the red state you hate the most and the issue you care about the most and find a group in that state working on that issue and support them.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.
