"This is a moment that demands a response. If Dems can’t run on a unified platform that centralizes and prioritizes taxing the ultrawealthy in order to dismantle their stranglehold on our govt, then they need to get out of the way for people who will." Read more: bit.ly/4ohxXLq #TaxBillionaires

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

you could not waterboard this out of me. “we didn’t understand why people use steam”

some of the worst people you've ever met is out there using chatgpt as a therapist

$15 MW is a fun one to me because, most people won't remember this, but for about two weeks in 2023, the biden campaign made it a big part of their online messaging. the fact that they ditched it so hard and fast hardly anyone remembers it speaks to an underdiscussed problem: trust (lack thereof)

We live in an episode of Veep

Does anyone stop and think about how idiotic and embarrassing it is that we’re the United States of America, and we have an entire government that spends the whole day trolling, posting, and documenting evidence that will definitely be used at a future trial?

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

This comes from Brian Allen, who states this is a leaked CPAC press memo reveals the “Third Term Project” is hosting a February 20 event titled “The Case for Presidential Tenure Reform.”

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment. #authoritarianism #DemocraticDecline #SteadyStateAssessment

Thank you, Mexico!!! 🦈

Lights are on but nobody is home. We have a broken Roomba for President.

Watched @realgdt.bsky.social's FRANKENSTEIN last night and while obviously wonderful, what'll keep me going back is how he used a 200yr old horror story to show me my life, my old man's life, and that of every other son born to indifferent, absent fathers who then had to choose between life or rage

Every time I dont feel like working out, i look at this silly little meme i made and it instantly motivates me.

There's a hole in the bottom of the trashcan and he grows underground like a big green ginger root. Jim Henson confided that in me before he died.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Here’s some Sam Kalda art to make your Tuesday a little better.

Women started fandom. Women started fanfic. Women started star Trek cons. Women invented beer, and the novel, while we're at it. Stop trying to erase women from spaces, you stupid, lazy, misogynistic fucks.

A win! The 9th Circuit allowed Judge Karin Immergut’s restraining order against deploying National Guard troops in Portland to remain in effect while the full appeals court decides whether to rehear the case.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

Teenage girls at the gas station complimented my nails and my slightly GNC outfit, then proceeded to show off their own nails and gab for a minute about how they like getting them done. It's nice to get reminders that society is not what social media would have you believe it is.

[S] With moves like this there's no need to formally rename HHS to the Department of Death. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

signs like these are up all over Chicago cafes and storefronts (here, cafes in Brighton Park and Back of the Yards) warning ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant

Call it what it is.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Fuck these people for being cowards

Vhetlörgandr the God Eater~ Big ol painting of of my beloved blue boy that I’ve been sitting on for quite some time. It’s Wheatley Titannacht’s dragon form!

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

You better have your mature filter turned on! I hear it's pumpkin season.

As a veteran and a former evangelical with a Bible degree, it drives me crazy to know intimately how they’re planning to institute Christian Nationalism within our government and how it affects foreign policy, but NOBODY else can see it. I feel like the only one with eyes.

Thought y'all might enjoy this past one too. 🙂🌵

Recently completed colored sketch commission for @cyanfoot.bsky.social I'm quite happy with how this one turned out! #art #sketch #raven #bird #colored_sketch #digital_art #commission

I’ve been thinking about how hard the founding fathers cooked with the Third Amendment. Imagine being forced to house ICE. I can’t imagine they wash their hands. They’ve never done laundry in their lives. They’d break your stuff if you didn’t cut the crusts off their sandwiches.

ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

i have about two million followers across three platforms. statistically, about 20,000 of you are in the top 1% in terms of wealth. if any of you feel like leaving me your home in a walkable neighborhood when you die, that would make for a very heartwarming social media story.

#NOKINGS New York City, NY

Holy fuck! No Kings protesters are marching through Center City in Philadelphia. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

My alliances are to Brodido but I also want all the best things for Takeshita.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”
