as ever

yeah back in the day you could just yell "Why i oughta" and maybe shake your fist a bit and the impotent rage hanging in the air would shame your enemies into compliance and no one would know your dick wasn't working right lately. But these days it's all woke out there

it was this one

some pretty consistent features of conservatism: 1) rules should apply to my enemies but not to my friends 2) white people are more important than non-white people 3) men are more important than women 4) if it makes me money i’m for it, if it costs me money im against it

a lot of the seemingly contradictory statements from conservatives re: free speech and 2nd amendment rights make a lot more sense when you apply a “they’re lying” heuristic to your analysis

BANKROLLING with $50 worth of hand warmers and another $10 of milk and coffee! At least three people emptied out their couch cushions for this!

This is my friend. Solid dude who was arrested for defending a woman the cops were assaulting. Not only did they disappear him, but even after he was finally released, they harassed him for years after. A straight line from there to Alex Pretti.

Thanks @feynudibranch.bsky.social for giving me @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social’s fake video game art book! It’s beautiful, I can’t stop flipping through it

I think opposition to abortion is actually a great place to situate a working definition of fascism. The baseless desire for control over the bodies of an underclass, reaffirmed as such by that control. bsky.app/profile/dolp...

unlike all the strident leftists who were correct too early, i am correct at exactly the right time

Maybe his gun just wasn’t big enough…

How DID we get here? It's a big mystery, must be the fault of all those pesky undecideds

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

As someone who isn't actually into underage ships but started defending them because it is an obvious first and final line of preventing puritanism, it's always funny seeing that one singular tag be the entire thing stopping someone who is ostensibly proship from being proship.

idea i had

“Being an ai ‘artist’ is like going thru a drive thru & saying you’re a chef.” So sick of hearing this bs. 🙄 It’s more like waiting for your neighbor to have DoorDash dropped off on their porch & then telling someone else to go steal it for you while you sit on the couch & decide your a 4 star chef.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

quite frankly i think the time where they're both actively voting to fund and support the death squads is not the time to make this argument

every few years since the cold war ended, america is convulsed with civil disobedience on a national scale. in contrast to previous such events, 2020 saw relatively colorblind rioting over shared collective grievances with the status quo. and now the politicians are all squarely against the people

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

what a time to be alive drawin' cartoons.

"It's unacceptable to have elected officials throw gas on this fire," I say after having voted to back up a tanker truck to the fire and open the valves

fuck border patrol. fuck everyone who watched the minutemen movement salting drinking water in the sonora desert and decided that was what they wanted to spend their one and only human life promoting

Love to see a ratio like that

a comic i made for a summer camp project when i had just turned 15

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING. 202–224-3121 Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

the children are protesting from inside the camps. i hope they know that we hear them.

But you see, these AREN’T the only 7 Democrats who supported giving ICE more money. The Democrats OVERALL support it. These 7 are just the latest rotating villains selected to take the fall while the rest pretend to oppose to fundraise. That’s why it’s always EXACTLY enough Dem support votes to pass

Doesn’t it make you crazy? Doesn’t it turn your blood to fucking gasoline?

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

I should really make some kind of merch for Captain Crime's Pirated Museum

Further context: I have been organizing for 15+ years. I've worked with unions, reformist orgs, anarchists, and revolutionary parties. I have been tear gassed by cops while cracking the skull of a Nazi. And without a doubt yesterday was the strongest step toward revolutionary change. We can do this

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.

was told once there's an old joke from ireland. guy gets the absolute shit beat out of him by some british soldiers. hasn't done anything to 'em. they won't take anything for an answer. "why are you doing this," he says. "you scum," say the brits, "we'll never forgive you for what we've done to you"

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

purple silmes were made to be pixeled i did a process write-up for this with a look at the sketch, 2-frame, and 4-frame in-progress versions. my power grows every day! patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/slime-... substar: subscribestar.adult/posts/2307453

america is such pussy shit now. what happened to our ornery "u cant tell me what to do" attitude? where are our quirked up libertarian white boys w 3d printed guns? it's just scold shit all the way down. "u have to accept ur neighbors being murdered by masked government thugs or ur mean" fuck off

feels maddening to have been lectured my whole life by right wingers about how the important the second amendment is in case the government comes to take u away only for those same ppl to be cheering that on as it happens and telling everyone it's evil to resist

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position
