We could live in a world that's bright and shiny,
And absolutely green! #Solarpunk 🌻☮️

"Picture a perfect place
Where there is no doom and gloom
Birds singing happy songs
And flowers bursting into bloom
There's somewhere like nowhere else you've ever seen
That's absolutely green

That's how the world can be if we just wanted
Why isn't it that way, do you suppose?
Maybe 'cause no one's concentrating on it
Just give it love and kindness
You'll see how green it grows"
~ Absolutely Green, Troll In Central Park, Don bluth

Extreme censorship in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death.

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows the silhouette of Charlie Kirk; 2nd frame, Gretchen Felker-Martin; 3rd frame, murder victims Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas; 4th frame, author Mark Bray. Text reads : one month after charlie kirk's
assassination by someone who we
were told was a trans radical
leftist but who turned out to be
a cis nihilist, his murder is now
being used to deploy extreme
censorship in the united states.
silencing. jimmy kimmel lost
his tribune until public outcry
got the decision reversed. famous
trans writer gretchen felker-
martin got her contract with
dc comics canceled and her books
pulled from the shelves for not
mourning properly.
violence. after stalking
them for months, a 17 year old
in n.j. killed two schoolmates
by ramming into them with a
car because one of them shared a
video critical of kirk.
persecution. at least 40
professors have been fired after
being targeted by turning point
usa. mark bray, an historian of
anti-fascism, had to flee the u.s.
because of threats. 300 d.o.d.
employees are being investigated
for social media posts about kirk.
the dept. of state is revoking
visas of people who criticized kirk.

A special kind of audacity

4 frame comic. Someone with a mic is doing a voxpop in the street and approaches a man with a black shirt and a baseball cap. He asks him : sir! do you think kids
should have their whole
life destroyed because of
some silly posts they
made on social media?

The man replies :
I guess
it depends
who we're
talking
about.
are we talking about foreign
students having their visa
revoked for making a single post
citing literal quotes from the
president's favourite racist
and transphobic podcaster?
or are we talking about a
bunch of 24 to 35 year olds
holding positions of power
advocating for gas chambers
and praising german fascists
over a period of 6 months?
also, it takes a special kind of
audacity for a v.p. who advocated
for mass firings of people over
their posts about charlie kirk to
go on the charlie kirk show and
claim that adults who are practi-
cally the same age as him are
too young to face consequences
for their violent rhetoric.

kinda sad

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows Matt Walsh in front of a graph. he says : Transgenderism
is effectively over.
We destroyed it.
Clearest and most
decisive cultural win
that conservatives
have ever achieved.
Sophie, the author, replies : that's kinda sad. the survey
asked students from three
specific colleges if they identified
as neither male nor female.

it didn't ask about trans people
overall or non-students, and
it conveniently didn't include
colleges that showed the
opposite.
we see Jacob Eliason's graph. text reads : also, that graph is from
raw data. when weighted,
the data says that trends are
unchanged compared to last
year - it even suggests that
there are more non-binary
students.
in the last frame, Sophie is holding a document. she says : oh, and what's this? a serious
survey published last week
shows that 55% of transgender
and non-binary people have
taken steps to become less
visible after november 2024.
how does
bullying us
back into the
closet make
you a hero?

I saw so many of my shirts at the No Kings protests! Thanks to everyone who tagged me on pictures, it's as if I was there.

I'm still trying to sell enough of them to get myself a new computer. With 80 more shirts to go, I'm about halfway there 🤩

Oh, and just to be clear, I'm NOT saying "be co-opted by whatever non-for-profit or democratic party org can snatch you up first". Groups like that love to snatch up activated folks & turn them away from meaningfully changing conditions on the ground.

Work with your neighbors in your neighborhood.

Pictured is Omni's Unicorn Icon; an armored iron face with glowing red light shining from within its robotic form. It possesses a large metal horn rising axelike from its forehead, and a pair of bright red glowing eyes glower from the darkness of its internal structure. Wrapped around it's neck is a red watermelon bandana (worn in protest for an end to the Palestinian Genocide) and brown wool cabbie cap.

It hovers in front of nebula, the stars glowing an angry red, and over the entire picture is the words:

"FUCK FASCISM"

"Democratic backsliding" is the process through which modern authoritarianism happens.

4 frame comic.
in the first frame, there's a giant banner of Trump on a building. text reads : authoritarianism in the 21st
century tends to appear through
what is called a process of
"democratic backsliding" (also
called "autocratization") rather
than through a traditional coup.
this allows the new regime to
claim some kind of legitimacy.

2nd frame shows a silhouette of trump. text reads : democratic backsliding is
when an elected executive uses
power to subvert democratic
institutions by attacking fair &
free elections, suppressing
freedom of speech, press & asso-
ciation, or weakening the rule
of law

in the 3rd frame, we see a nazi parade in the 30s. text reads : according to
political scientists mettler &
lieberman, there are four key
characteristics that provide the
conditions for democratic back-
sliding: political polarization,
racism and nativism, economic
inequality, and excessive
executive power.

in the last frame, we see the white house. text reads : in a report published in sept.
2025, the intl. institute for demo-
cracy and electoral assistance
found that 54% of the world's
countries experienced democratic
backsliding in the past year. that
includes the united states.

So much tear gas & flash grenades tonight at ICE in Portland. US Gestapo came out, pushed people back & held a line as other feds shot down tear gas canisters from the roof. People were dancing before this as an impromptu rave broke out

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.
