There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Jorts and Jean The ship she rolled and her closet doors closed Oh no, whereโs Jorts? Oh no!

Let these be the photos that mark tonight.
This evening, Rep. Al Green of Texas was forcibly removed from the joint session of Congress by the sergeant-at-arms for standing up and yelling โYou have no mandate to cut Medicaid.โ during the presidentโs address.
โHe is a person who has consistently used incivility against civility,โ Green said.ย
โIโm willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me,โ he continued. โI didnโt say to anyone, โDonโt punish me.โ Iโve said Iโll accept the punishment, but itโs worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this presidentโs desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.โ
โThis is about the people who are being punished by virtue of losing their health care,โ he added. โThis is the richest country in the world, and we have people who donโt have good health care.โ (Per HuffPost)
House and Senate Democrats silently protested President Donald Trump during his first speech to Congress of his second term โ refusing to applaud, holding up signs calling him "king" and "liar" and, for some, walking out of the address altogether.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, the top Democrat on the new DOGE subcommittee, silently held a sign behind Trump reading: โThis is NOT normal.โ After he greeted Trump, Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, reached across the aisle, ripped the sign away from Stansbury and tossed it in the air โ all on live TV.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., brought an erasable whiteboard into the chamber and scribbled various messages to Trump throughout the night: โNO KING,โ โTHATโS A LIEโ and โYou're cutting Medicaid,โ for instance.
. . .
Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., walked out in the middle of Trumpโs address, as did Stansbury and Reps. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, and Lateefa Simon, D-Calif.

The defeated and bloodied king was chained to kneel in front of his enemy and he says weakly: "Is my wife still alive?" His enemy nodded. "You fools," he said smirking, and the king starts laughing as the sounds of explosions getting closer shake the room.
HOLY SHIT

the world is getting so ugly and bleak and itโs hard not to feel so hopeless. but we have to remember that they want us to feel that way.
it reminds me of this quote by dan savage - โDuring the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.โ
joy is resistance. itโs really scary times but we are all in this together.

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!
AND WHY NOT? Just do eeet! Love what you love!

N.T. Rama Rao Jr. as Komaram Bheem and Ram Charan as Alluri Sitarama Raju in RRR (2022)
Can we talk about the fact that Ram refuses to look Bheem in the eyes for the entire time???
Can we talk about how Ram calls Bheem Akhtar even though he knows that's not his name??
Can we talk about how there could not possibly have been two actors better suited to these roles opposite one another?

Former Minnesota Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe, who was blacklisted from the league for standing up for marriage equality, speaks at a city council meeting where he calls Trump a Nazi. He is subsequently arrested and carried out by police.
I just want to clarify a few things, because I have a feeling some people may share this without watching the video in full and/or getting further details from related news articles:
- Kluwe was there to specifically protest the installation of a [massively cringe] pro-Trump plaque. Per ABC News: "Kluwe, a Huntington Beach resident, was protesting the council's decision to place a plaque commemorating the public library's anniversary. The plaque included the words "Magical Alluring Galvanizing Adventurous," an apparent nod to President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again slogan."
- Kluwe was not just arbitrarily hauled off by cops for speaking out against Trump. If you watch the video until the end, you'll hear him announce his intentions to engage in the "time-honoured American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience." From there, he defiantly approaches the stage where the seven [aforementioned cringe, right-wing lunatic] Huntington Beach City Council members are all sitting, knowing full well that he is about to be arrested and charged with disrupting an assembly.
- Thanks to this deliberate act of protest, some of Trump's 24/7 news blitz will now be interrupted by images of a former NFL player being carted away by a gaggle of dour looking cops:
(this is a good thing, if that's not clear; I feel like too many people have forgotten about the tactical use of arrests by activists, especially during the Civil Rights era, to highlight injustice or disrupt a media narrative)
Anyway, kudos to Mr Kluwe for this, I hope more public figures will follow suit.
Oh I've heard of this guy before! https://www.salon.com/2014/10/21/chris_kluwe_i_hope_you_all_every_gamergater_picks_up_a_debilitating_case_of_genital_warts/

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)
