The scandal is far bigger than we thought. Just how deep does the rot with Justice Thomas go? And what historical precedent is there for how to deal with it? Importantly, can we seek to hold him accountable in any meaningful way today? That’s today’s topic. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/doubting-thomas?sd=pf

There have been more mass shootings than days in 2023.

As of now, there have been at least 162 mass shootings in the U.S., according to the Gun Violence Archive. There have only been 107 days so far this year.

We don’t have to keep living like this. Inaction is a choice.

If I tell you this summer will be the summer of dying from the heat of the day. in homes, on streets, uou might think its a problem of the poor hot countries.

Canada, the polar nation had the first mass deaths from heat two years ago. 619 died, seniors and teens, on their floors, on their beds.

#Climate #Chaos IS NOT ABOUT 1.5 degrees of excess heat.

Climate chaos is about death.

Its the first weeks of spring, and India has 40C heat.

Trump says if he's elected he will force federal workers to pass a political test — then fire anyone who doesn't meet his standard

So, anyone who wants to uphold their oath of office? Fired.

Anyone with knowledge of the constitution? Fired.

Passing the civil service exam? Fired and sent to the Gulag.

It's fascism folks!

I realize now that giving my dog a chew toy that looks like a human hand was probably a mistake

@ScottSoCal *blows raspberries*

3/3 thread: The final photo is of a later performance I did, much friendlier and less intrusive, called "My City, My Skin" in which I embroidered a map of Durban and Cape Town on a dress, and recorded ambient sounds of those cities, which you could listen to from little walkman headphones attached to the dress.

(Yes, there was a literal suitcase full of walkmans at my feet, each with a loop tape of random city sounds I'd recorded. )

I remember trying to explain these performance pieces to my lecturers and friends, but without the language of gender identity, and the knowledge of those ideas, it was pointless.

It's pretty amazing to remember what it was like to know there was something I was trying to express, but being unable to, and now I have the words and understanding.

@flexghost @ScottSoCal Can Piers Morgan please just crawl back under the slimy rock from whence he came?

Oh, and I stopped watching Maher’s show ages ago!

Watch Katie Porter demolish Piers Morgan and Bill Maher in seconds as they play to the right wing talking point equating J6 to the Tennessee 3

Katie Porter for President.

Piers Morgan and Bill Maher for the glue factory.

There is no extremist too extreme for a flattering New York Times profile. This time it's Jim Jordan: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/us/politics/jim-jordan-trump.html

And the Times keeps wondering why people who care about democracy are in despair about the organization's relentlessly rancid political coverage.

I hadn't realized just how much of the online #blind community had migrated from Twitter to Mastodon. That gives added oomph to the need to use #AltText on our images (as well as CamelCase on hashtags).
