I know this is corny to say but this is the real America, man. This is what it’s all about. This is what those freaks are trying to destroy & we won’t let them

"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

Having trouble doing anything else, so had to write out how fucking angry I am about what happened yesterday and how the MAGA world is trying to rewrite the story.

Ensure Americans have health insurance and don't get murdered by the Trump administration would be the most popular legislation passed out of the house in half a decade and it's completely off the table.

You will never be pure enough. You will never be clean enough. A certain kind of person will try to bludgeon you to death with the bar of acceptability regardless of what you make or post. So make or post whatever you want.

Reminder: LEGALLY, paypal does not need to know what you sell. Paypal has nothing to do with your business or its transactions. Its only purpose is money transferal. However they will try to snoop into your business as much as they can. DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY DETAILS OF YOUR WORK ON PAYPAL!!

A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.

Here's the December Patreon Q&A :) www.patreon.com/zummeng zummeng.carrd.co

Trump is shopping for marble as millions of Americans' health insurance premiums double and triple.

Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.

this is such an important thing to recognize and call out the fascism is mostly done being nice at this point, but it got here through well dressed men politely asking questions while the rest of us were scolded for pointing out where those questions led

I knew this was gonna happen, and absolutely the fuck not. she‘s an antisemitic fascist trying to rebrand herself. Bye.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Almost every Democrat that runs for office does this and they can’t figure out why they are so widely disliked

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Retro’s a great artist, and fucking PayPal just put him in an awful spot. If anyone has suggestions on how to help, please give them. Otherwise: CALL THE DAMNED PAYMENT PROCESSORS AND TELL THEM OFF!

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

“Don’t replace the culture war with class war” is such a fun way of saying, “Please don’t unionize, I just bought a yacht that parks inside another yacht.”

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

Frank Fontaine got a point

private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

Vote with your wallet. Send the message that this is simply unacceptable. And I hope the German government rakes them over the coals for taking 6M Euros from a cultural fund and then using AI localization. It’s one Eff You after another to players and now cultural institutions.

Hi, its me, the otter people call Mom a lot I'm so proud of you and you have been doing amazing I know things have been monumentally difficult, but you have been doing the best you can, and it'll pay off. Keep your chin up. Get yourself a snack and some water. You've earned it <3

It is journalistic malpractice to be within a city block of Vance and not read him this tweet through a bullhorn

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

To sum up this thread, given recent events in the Chicagoland area due to ICE activity, for the safety of all attendees, especially international attendees, I am calling on @furfest.org to ban tactical gear & modern police/military costumes from the con space That is the least I can ask from MFF

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

$39 a year folks. Thats what killing 600,000 to date will save you. Would it be nice to live on a world where every country with the means worked to make the world a better place? Yes. Of course. In the meantime if you say preventing the deaths of millions isn’t worth $3 a month, fuck you.
