a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

So much tear gas that people who aren't even protesting are getting sick when they leave their homes to run errands: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Final Fantasy XIV Fun Facts @ffxivxd.bsky.social · Apr 21

The hunt mark called Nuckelavee comes from the result of fae folk tormenting mortals. Some believe this large horse is a Fuath wielding glamors, becoming the nightmare that drags curious folk into the water. However, its true origin is still up for debate.

Hi, I'm Felix! I'm mixed Mohawk (Kanien'kehá:ka) and two spirit.

I don't currently have a shop, but my husband and I are running a queer historical zine over at @taplingzines.bsky.social and would love more Indigenous artists to apply!!

A digital art piece of Gabriel, an original character. He is a genderfluid (but fairly masc-presenting here) skinny Filipino in his early 20s. He has curly hair and freckles all over his body, and is sits in front of a lightly graffitied wall holding a vape with bright purple nails on his hand. His tshirt says, "Yes, I'm bi (Bible Lover). And also bisexual."

A digital painting of a fox on a grassy hill, surrounded by aurora borealis which tints the fox in a reddish purple and bright green. There is a very faint Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) flag in the background.

A digital illustration of two of my characters, Imani and Mona, praying. They are in a mosque, kneeling side by side. Imani is a Black woman dressed in a long skirt and hijab, with a modest clothing style mostly in black and dark magenta. Beside her is her toddler daughter, Mona, who wears colorful, mismatched clothing, her curly hair pulled back into pigtails. She has her hands over her face as she prays, with Imani's hands open in front of her in a du'a position.

A digital illustration of a toddler girl with green hair and small antlers on her head. She has medium-brown skin and freckles, and her ears are pointed in an elven shape. She wears a blue dress with pink stars and a pink collar. Her antlers have small vines wrapped around them, seemingly growing out of her head as well, and there are also small pink flowers. She is playing with one ear as a shy fidget.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

while it's true most politicians like Newsom are personally bigoted, the real story is how when they feel political pressure from us to enact positive changes, they will only support trans people when it doesn't hurt corporate interests.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 12h

Newsom vetoing trans rights bills because they would hurt the health insurance industry's profit margins, instead of just pure bigotry, is actually very unsurprising tbh lol.

This is how he has always operated. Talks a big game, but his actions show his actual job is to protect special interests.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 12h

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)
