been thinking about this a lot and want to (again) plug Astoria Food Pantry which will need extra funding to help our neighbors if/when SNAP benefits are cut off. we've already been running out of food faster than usual this month—any donation amount will help! givebutter.com/afp2025

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.
Last night the regime played their opening move in the occupation of NYC

Once Zohran is mayor, Trump will declare our city dangerous and the NYPD will side with him

Let’s show Trump, NYPD, ICE and all the fascists what’ll happen if they try. They have guns. We have a city of 8 million and more
From the People's Forum:

EMERGENCY ACTION! ICE OUT OF NY! 🚨

We will NOT tolerate ICE’s terror against street vendors and immigrant communities.

Join us TOMORROW, October 22nd, at 6:00 PM in Foley Square to demand freedom for those detained and an end to ICE raids.

Every rapid response chat I’m on is going berserk — forty ice agents indiscriminately capturing people if you can get down to Canal right now, please go!
More federal agents on Canal, counter protesters gather shouting the agents.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”
I’m very much eyeing all the queer people who said “plenty of people have a Nazi phase”
I love when white people suddenly start exposing how many white supremacists they surround themselves with by pretending it's a normal, universal experience.

Athena low-key judging me for always choosing Divine Dash when given the opportunity is Hades 2’s slyest meta moment

I mean, yeah they nerfed it but still
It’s here and in print. “Capital Impact” a science-folktale of greed and ruthlessness that I got to create with the marvelous Tony Chao (pictured). A mini-comic that’ll hit you with all Tony and I brought to table

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
Sure… blame Miss Piggy again… 🙄
Maybe Tron: Area was a net positive? The studios may finally learn that Jared Leto is box office poison and we got a new Nine Inch Nails album out of it
Maybe this is weird because I am not a dog person and have been accused of being dog-hostile, but I believe that specialized breeding is animal abuse and all kennels should be banned.

Please for the love of dog, adopt a mutt

Sorry to report I hate this kind of shit and I think this kind of naivety is dangerous and should be loudly pushed back against

And no one needs permission to do this so the campaigns can be decentralized and targeted to local communities.
There could be solid ICE counter-recruitment campaigns launched to discourage people from working for them and to encourage those working for them to quit. There are lots of examples of such campaigns from anti-war organizing.
Watchinf the opening credits for Dream Warriors and it is astonishing to me how stacked this movie is behind the camera: Angelo Badalamenti (music), Rachel Talalay (line producer), Frank Darabont was a co-writer!

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
