When life gives you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys. I’m LGBT and think I’m funnier than I actually am. I may or may not be obsessed with the Simpsons. Animist. (He/Him)

A squire rushed in to the great hall.

"Someone," he shouted, "has taken the sword from the stone!"

The assembled knights halted their dinner.

"At last, a king?"

"Who?"

"I don't know," the squire said. "The sword is gone!"

Elsewhere:
"This," Indy muttered, "belongs in a museum.

AND he can pardon them proactively! He can give blanket pardons for categories of officers before he leaves office that the next President can't revoke.

Okay. For anyone who needs it, John Oliver did an excellent job on what a prospective Trump second term might look like.

Watch, and share widely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYwq...

Remember: have you registered to vote? Have you checked your registration, and encouraged others to do the same?

There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular. Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.

The US has military bases in 80 countries and a habit of trying to overthrow governments it doesn't like. If you're terrified of what's happening and are certain the worst is coming, well I hate to tell you - you aren't going to be able to escape it by fleeing.

Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.

I stayed at a ski lodge that had an outdoor hot-tub. We did that. (Not in the buff—we had swimsuits on.)

Since 2019 I've liked to remind you that we should work to break up not just ICE, but abolish the entire DHS. It's a post-9/11 reactionary agency that needs to be destroyed.

Now, I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling despair. Have your feelings. But I also don't think we should give these fuckers what they want. The opposite of doom and gloom isn't naive optimism. It's survival, mutual support, and, in these, possibility. Fuck these fucks. 2/2

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

“Project 2025” isn’t just about power in Washington. The Reactionary Right’s goal is to re-establish political, societal, and cultural dominance in all spheres of life and turn the clock back to before what Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts calls “the Great Awokening.” 4/

Despite my obvious contempt for Biden, I still think everyone should vote for him in November. I’m fucking begging everyone to vote. Christian nationalist government is a very real physical threat to basically every LGBTQ person except for maybe the Peter Thiels of the world.

Well that seems… like an outright declaration of violent intent if they aren't given their way. Which isn't different from what it already was, other than it being out loud, now.

A total ban is the only sane policy for Airbnb. There obviously needs to be accommodation in cities for visitors, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of housing units for people who actually live there. More governments should follow Barcelona’s lead.
