I do not understand why Democrats aren't saying "this Greenland shit is indicative that the president is not in his right mind and it is time to invoke the 25th amendment" except that almost every American politician does at heart believe we should rule the world with military might

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace!

A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.

No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

Why is it my job as a regular person to take “please stop giving money to the armed thugs breaking into people’s homes and murdering moms in mom-vehicles” and feed it to our LITERAL LEADERS like “OH here comes the AEROPLANE open up, nyooomm!”

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

They use "civility" as a weapon against us. Because they'll say stuff like, "while what happened was a clearly tragedy, there's no call for that kind of language about it."

An elected official saying "fuck" is not worthy of equal debate with a murder by "law" enforcement.

That's oppressor shit.
People out there annoyed at politicians saying “fuck” should spend a little more time fighting fascism and a lot less time policing the usage of a word you can hear in a PG-13 movie.

“bsky is boring!”

1) good
2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment
3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it
4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands
5) read book
6) walk outside

It’s okay to not watch the videos.
It’s okay to need to take time offline from the constant stream of traumatic happenings

It’s not okay to ignore what is happening but sometimes you need to regroup in order to take effective action.

Anyway, abolish and prosecute ICE 🧊

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

My American friends, please in the following days, remember to preserve yourself. You cannot fight if you're not well yourself.
Sometimes it's OK to step away from news sources. It doesn't make you weak. Take breaks, regulate, and stay hopeful.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.
Article in the Times today.

JKR has set her pre action attack team on a school supporting trans youth.

A father is threatening to sue for allowing trans children to use the loo they‘ve always used.

“I don’t wish trans people any ill”, he says, after casting them as voyeurs and sexual predators.
