perhaps people might like instead a trans super hero who looks like this, written by a trans woman so maybe toss a few coins at me, your local neighborhood trans magical hero author magicariot.com

***Felker-Martin says DC finally coughed up her wages, which is great. Still not thrilled with her firing!

Representation matters but it's always more nuanced than that. No amount of trans representation will ever be enough to make up for firing a real life trans woman for being politically inconvenient and not paying her for her fucking labor, in my onion.

Wait. THAT DC comics? The one that fired Gretchen Felker-Martin? Oh okay

They're calling it the imperial boomerang, folks. They say it's the biggest boomerang they've ever seen, maybe even a plane of some kind. Whatever it is, it's coming right back to us, right back to us. The haters say it's not returning to the imperial core, but folks it's called a boomerang for a re

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

This is what peak femininity looks like.

yeah they’re just grabbing random people at bus stops there is absolutely no attempt to even give the pretense that this is about immigration anymore. it is absolutely just a military occupation

IDF behaviour

Horror and broadcast have been a foundation of American empire From mountains of buffalo skulls To lynching post cards History does not repeat, it rhymes and escalates

Thank you for attending my writing masterclass.

Never forget that the American right despise their own children and long to see them tortured, punished, and even killed, because they're repressed, self-hating freaks and the idea of anything outside their control or defying their arbitrary orders drives them totally insane with libidinal rage.

Pete and Amy are really out here arguing that ICE isn’t killing people by the employee handbook when we are out here arguing ICE should not exist. They do NOT represent the will of the people.

>another $170 billion to ice

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Evan Solomon, the minister responsible for AI regulation and safety in Canada, declined an interview request.

Sure thousands of innocent people are being rounded up and thrown into concentration camps mostly because of the color of their skin and the public execution of a white woman is being justified because she was a lesbian but "defund" is just bad optics

They don’t have enough people to be everywhere. This is our advantage. We cannot waste it.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

hybridizing regimes that do indiscriminate violence are hybridizing regimes that are failing. failing to consolidate, failing the principal-agent problem, failing at elite coordination.

It's actually kind of funny that I grew up as a confidently annoying child who didn't care enough what other people thought of me (because I fundamentally did not like myself) and now that I'm a likeable person with redeemable qualities I don't have the slightest bit of confidence in myself *dabs*

I've been staring at this for like 10 minutes and insecurely prodding at my own definition of "conflict," and I've decided that rather than try to imagine a story without conflict I'm going to try to write one

I think of conflict as any challenge, friction, or contest, whether it's between people or between people and their surroundings. I don't really go for hard rules, but most stories are improved by meaningful conflict and weakened by its absence, because conflict is a way of exposing the truth.

Since morning, the occupation has continued to target the Gaza Strip in all its areas. With each new bombing, a new massacre is added to the open record of bloodshed. And the world? Seees, hears, counts the numbers… then continues its silence. Silence here isn't neutrality… silence is complicity.

Another image that sums up the protest.

They didnt seem to appreciate it last time someone did

Not sure it will do anything, but I emailed Evan Solomon and my MP. They need to act against X and Grok as thousands more people are targeted with its explicit image generation tech every single day.

the US has a fascist party and a fascism enabler party

Oh right I had that one essay about "male socialization" I meant to write

The media has convinced us to accept high prices as normal.

This is a high school with children. These bastards all need to be prosecuted.

There are a lot of half-formed notions of Renee Good circulating right now. This poem is the most accurate artifact of her we have access to; a piece of her soul that remains in the world. Read her words and become her for a moment; let her live in you. So long as men can breathe & eyes can see.

A proliferation of sexual deepfakes on X has prompted other countries to investigate Grok, the platform’s AI software, but, so far, Ottawa remains silent. www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

For people who have not yet had ICE descend on their city, I think it’s hard to convey how all-encompassing their presence is. You constantly hear about the neighbors they’ve taken, get texts about where not to go that day, see signs from where people were taken, hear whistles from down your block.

but i was told this was all a russia-backed ploy because america can never do awful things of its own accord...

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

Boy, it’s a shame Democrats don’t have the ability to threaten to shut the government down in three weeks over this or anything

Even news media has suborned the concept of documentary evidence to a fantasy reality promoted by spectacular fascism. This is *not* an issue with deepfakes and the liar’s dividend creating post-truth reality; it is participatory collective make-believe, tagging in to act as-if the fantasy is real.

God this is all a game to these people DON'T TAKE THE BAIT, THEY'RE PLAYING 4D CHESS, IT'S A DISTRACTION FROM THE REAL ISSUES A woman is dead. A queer woman was shot in front of her wife by masked men. That's the reality. If you're trying to spin this to be about anything else, shut the fuck up.

I cannot think of anything that more strongly epitomizes the Democratic response to this administration than "ICE murdered a woman in the street, that's why we have to deploy the national guard to support ICE"

Silverio Villegas González. There were several videos that immediately proved DHS’s statements regarding the murder were blatant lies - the same ones told about today, except they claimed that Silverio was shot by an officer who was being dragged by the car as he fled.

What's the bet that Democrats in fact do exactly this bullshit?

americans HAVE been fighting back. the protests against ICE have been ongoing. people are still going to defend their neighbors despite this violence. maybe the most infuriating part of 'americans dont do anything' is that they DO and that doesnt get recognized BY OTHER PROGRESSIVES
