I think immigrants Make America Great.
I think most immigrants are not criminals.

If one Afghan nationalist shooter means all Afghan nationalists are evil, wait until I tell you about white male shooters.

When Hegseth spoke about the National Guard shooting, he said:
“I mentioned the faith of this country. The Christian faith”
Why is he invoking Christian nationalism?
The US is not a Christian country.
It’s a country with the freedom to practice whatever religion you want.

To all active and retired US Military members: Defy illegal orders. Defy Unconstitutional orders. When you swore an oath, you were not reciting a poem – you were making a commitment.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.
Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.
We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.

Attention Alphabetters!
Mon 17 Nov is the start of Week U and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Unloved. So that’s pics of things that are run down and/or neglected. We’re heading into the difficult letters so expect themes to be harder as choices are limited!
Use the # below and have fun😊

More silencing of black and trans journalists.
Such BS.
I hope these committed and dedicated political journalists find a way to feed their families despite the blatant censorship.

Will be curious to see what Conde does with the Teen Vogue archive. Keeping it up means they still want ad revenue from the clicks on existing content. Taking it down means this really was about destroying and erasing political voices that make NYC's upper crust uncomfy.

Why this picture for this week? The strong shadow lines (of course) and the juxtaposition of the ground with the decaying plants and human debris.

If you’re worried about hurting artists by boycotting Spotify—don’t. They pay musicians 0.0003 per stream (on the high end) and support fascists. Go see bands play live, buy their merch, collect physical media. That’s how you support artists and tell knee-bending oligarch fascists to eat shit.

My wife raided my toy box to get a photo of "ants eye view" for a photo contest, verifying my theory that every creative photographer will inevitably shoot action figures.
This is why I wrote a book about it! Available on Amazon.
Thus completes this shameless self promotion.
