•ABC: fires Kimmel for mocking Trump •CBS: fires Colbert for mocking Trump •ABC: fires Moran for slamming Stephen Miller •MSNBC: fires Matt Dowd for saying “hateful thoughts lead to hateful actions” •FOX: Champions Brian Kilmeade as he calls for Nazi state murder of America’s 600K homeless people

NEWS: The D.C. Council just passed an emergency bill allowing anyone to get a COVID-19 vaccine without a doctor's prescription, which have been requested recently due to changes in federal vaccine recommendations. (And some D.C. residents have had to go to Maryland or Virginia.)

the capacity for state violence is vast but that does not mean it is infinite

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

This is ofc a far greater attack on free speech than Kimmel going off the air

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Every time Sid Lowe writes about Santi, I'm 😭❤️ and I was especially like that after reading this article a few days ago. I love the story about Santi's return to Oviedo and what he's doing for the club, and their promotion and this first match are like a fairytale. What a way to return to La Liga

My webcomic is finally online!!! First five pages of FULLMOONPANIC! are up to read! Are you guys ready to visit a cemetery on a Halloween night? 👀🌕✨ fullmoonpanic.com/comic/fmp01-...

Summer boys! 😎🍦☀️✨ #fullmoonpanic #ocs

This is how I found Deli (so if you participate in #portfolioday, keep at it!). I was stunned by the art of Lucas & Miguel on a nighttime walk (the coloring is MAGICAL) & Miguel's goofy, excited face while he's holding up his adorable ouija board instantly charmed me & made me want to check out FMP!

Elated to work with @deliciest.bsky.social! I fell head over heels in love with her scrumptious art, and I am OBSESSED with Miguel and Lucas from Full Moon Panic! They're both adorable and I want to hug them tightly. 💓

Starmer's Labour won't shut down support for Israel committing war crimes but is thteatening prison for donating money to those protesting war crimes.

Fucking coward

This proposed CSA standard would: - Require N95s (or equally protective alternatives) for all healthcare workers, patients, and visitors. - Protect the most vulnerable. - Set a historic global precedent for clean air in healthcare.

Canada is on the verge of adopting a national standard requiring N95s in healthcare—and your voice can help make it happen.

Advocacy alert 📣 Until August 19, you can give input on a game-changing national standard requiring N95s & other respirators in healthcare (and beyond)! To make it easier to take part, we've created a plain-language explainer that includes some sample feedback: donoharmbc.ca/national-sta...

I'll be looking at #queerpit pitches today! If I ❤️ your post, you can submit your query here: querytracker.net/query/janech...

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Al Jazeera Media Network condemns the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammeel Qraiqea, along with photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal, by Israeli forces. #JournalismIsNotACrime

Paperback I worked on finally OUT! Here lies a vengeful bitch was such a fun project to work on!

Literally the only action that would actually have any meaning behind it is dropping out of the project and making it clear it is due to her transphobic bigotry. That's it. That's the one option. Anything less is just dressed up cowardice to try and limit backlash.

Here's the truth. You can't stand with trans people and take a gig with Rowling. It is impossible. You can make donations, you can issue statements of support, but at the end of the day you are choosing to work with the single most prominent transphobe who uses her money and platform to harm us.

I'm a day late to #questpit, but I'm looking through pitches now! If I like your pitch, please submit your query here: querytracker.net/query/janech...

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events. The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

The Sameer Project has been doing crucial work to get food into Gaza. Gaza is facing mass, created starvation- people are dropping in the street from lack of food and water. Never again is now. Donate if you can and spread the ord. linktr.ee/thesameerpro...

The Gaza Soup Kitchen run by Hani Almadhoun and family is currently feeding 3000 people a day under the monstrous conditions of the engineered famine happening before our eyes. You can help feed at least a few people. Please donate: gofund.me/e37b4bae

happy yuri day here's one for the girl violence likers

Incredible mom energy from Mira Nair

Congratulations to the 13 brave women who risked their careers and reputations to stand up to Cuomo’s sexual predation

Left's strong night, updated: —Mamdani finishes well ahead. —All 10 challenged NYC Progressive Caucus members win, or way up. Jumaane Williams, too. —Left may add councilors (AOC- or WFP-backed newcomers up) —WFP-endorsed candidates win primaries for Syracuse & Buffalo mayor.

Clinton, Clyburn, Summers, Palantir, Bloomberg, NYT, Wall St, AIPAC...all tried their best. The entire establishment went full racist and Islamophobic in the end. Still Mamdani won. Biggest F U to the Democratic Establishment and 1% since AOC win. Wow.

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

a reminder of what Mamdani overcame:

“Tonight, we made history … I will be your democratic nominee for mayor of New York City” - Zohran Mamdani
