“this mass deprivation, which we insist is bad and not our fault, is a great opportunity for us to talk about our plans for long-term mass deprivation”

This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me. Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader. A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape. Vote: zohranfornyc.com/vote Canvass + phonebank: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Guys please if you order Doordash, please tip your driver. Like a server, they don't earn minimum wage in most places. They're getting paid $2 to use their own car, spend their own gas money, and drive in whatever weather conditions to bring you that McDonalds. For $2. Please tip them at least $3 🫠

You are loved. ❤️✨🐁✨❤️ #art #traditionalart #queerart #transart #mice #mouse #streerart #cuteart #mini #miniatures #hope #inspo

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

Just because he's acting like he's never leaving is no reason for you to act like he's never leaving.

Trump in July, on the WH $250MM ballroom project: “It won’t interfere with the current building.... It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The shitbombing AI is eliminationist rhetoric, no pun intended. Associating your enemies with filth and disease is a time-honored rhetorical strategy. It can be a prelude to violence.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

Please if reincarnation is real can I come back next time and not be so allergic to cats that I suffer from four month old cat hair??

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

Feeling like I'm back home in NYC🥰 (saw a rat the size of cat bouncing along the sidewalk)🙏

Cool 🫠

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Conservatives have built their own social media platforms, Trump has his own Twitter alternative, his allies are buying major social media platforms to weaponize for their propaganda and influence and we’re still arguing if having a left-leaning social media platform is a bad thing

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

If you’ve stopped wearing an N95 mask in public, now is a really good time to start doing it again

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

The fact that Woody Allen outlived Diane Keaton feels so unfair, but also confirms my belief that evil people live forever 🤮

I was working on the story and he just came out and said it

This Halloween season there’s no movie as frightening as everything currently happening in real life

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

ok so I have been alive for half a century and I can tell you with 100% certainty that prices never, ever go down - ESPECIALLY when a lot of people lose their jobs. This is a lie rich people make up to keep the rest of us from dragging them into the streets

Taking my glasses off bc I've seen enough

Another banger outfit at the Night Market last week! 💖✨️ I've got a market this weekend, and then another on Tues, gonna be a busy time 👀🥰🫠🫡

The way the internet will show up and show out to talk shit the second anyone mentions @taylorlorenz.bsky.social is honestly so funny. Which part are you scared about? A woman calling out corruption, or the fact that she doesn't pretend covid is a cold? 🙄 Outta my mentions w/that lol

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

Wearing a mask might be one of the few ways to have some anonymity in public in the technocrat surveillance hellscape of tomorrow.

The question to ask yourself every day: How much more do we intend to take?

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Every time I see @taylorlorenz.bsky.social rocking up to an event in a mask, I feel so much solidarity and hope. It IS possible to live a full and busy life while masking. The only reason so many folks can't is because they're now the only ones masking in public, and it's less safe.

It is unfathomable to me that we’re all just supposed to be okay with higher energy costs and more air and light pollution, in exchange for a machine that steals personal data and copyrighted material and produces slop and wage theft, and big tech can do this to our society unilaterally.

got JUST ONE open this week! details are here: www.furaffinity.net/view/62476198/ if you'd like to claim please comment/DM! :)

This is why bosses love it

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

Lol loser behavior

Bullet casings collected from the scene were engraved with the words "has enough time passed now that we can collectively admit that the Barbie movie wasn't that amazing"

Cool story but when are we going to afford beef again?

TW: weight I know it's considered very taboo to talk about this, but there's something really traumatizing about gaining a lot of unwanted weight and the way it changes every aspect of your life. I've been struggling with this over the last year, and it's really hard to talk about :/

Blasting Neutron Star Collision while driving is self care

Big day for me. A box I've been saving for over 3 years was just perfect for something

I hope Kimmel comes out and tells everyone he'll do it again

Not doing great today, pals lol. $900 car repair, and all the ✨️everything✨️ feeling super suffocating 🫠

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
