I block slop peddlers. It is not an act of resistance to use the Oligarchy's favorite toy to make memes about Trump.

📌 Devalues labor
📌 Pollutes marginalized communities
📌 Sews distrust in reality
📌 Hastens climate change
📌 Steals from artists

No ethical use.

Everyone is afraid of triggering a constitutional crisis, but it's here. Maybe it's time the general public had to pay attention.

Have you considered the troops might decline to execute an unlawful order? Either way, is cops versus troops worse than kidnapping kids and zip-tying them and sending people to concentration camps?

God forbid you ever ASK someone to do their job. But at the very least don't pay them to show up and assist ICE.

Sending cops to HELP them sure isn't the solution. Appeasement didn't work when Hitler took Poland.

They are committing crimes and violating judge's orders. Declining to enforce the law grants permission. They're not going to stop because we wagged fingers hard enough.

So your solution is to bend the knee and let them do whatever they want with no consequences to avoid confrontation?

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

Be better than that

Periodic reminder: if you get a generic that is less effective for you, of any medicine, filing a Form 3500 with the FDA's MedWatch if you're able contributes to getting non-bioequivalent generics pulled from the market: www.fda.gov/safety/medic...

Trump really got up at that memorial and said "Skill issue."

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

Wow. We Rate Dogs is mobilized. That's no small audience. It's a shame some people don't care this much for humans, but maybe they'll reach folks whose entire feed is apolitical fluff.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

If you have ever used the word "woke" in a pejorative manner...and I mean this sincerely...you were part of the onboarding process for making open bigotry ok again.

Oh I would have liked that.

It kinda seems like "Hey, would you like our unwanted and unethical bullshit machines to do phone sex with you?" is just a step above the entire Large Language Model bubble collapsing.

It's about filling private prisons. How is 14 old enough to be tried as an adult but not old enough to. choose a name and pronouns?

Alabama LITERALLY JUST RAISED THE AGE OF MEDICAL CONSENT FROM 14 TO 16 but congress is lowering the age to be tried as an adult to 14...

I feel like the gender stuff can be forgiven because the irony of her being in disguise while all of the other men are failing his test of masculinity is kind of the point.
