Dave Chapelle, multi-millionaire & huge hypocrite, RE: “free speech”. BTW the Saudi comedy festival was happening during the 7th anniversary of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. There’s no free speech there, Dave.

When things feel pointless, remember the small things that make a difference in your life, then do them for yourself and others. A high protein meal. A big glass of water. Taking meds. A compliment or word of thanks. A long walk outside. I see how hard you're trying. Little things still matter.

Women in Virginia deserve to know that their reproductive rights are protected here. Winsome Earle-Sears supports banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest. Virginia, hear me when I say — as Governor, I will always protect your reproductive freedom.

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

In some other countries, when no agreement can be reached about the budget, the current government is fired and new elections are held. Holding the nation hostage – government shutdown used as a tool of coercion - shouldn’t be something we accept anymore. www.bbc.com/news/live/cl...

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans just shut down the government to push their extreme agenda. They’d rather strip Medicaid, eliminate SNAP benefits, and close rural hospitals than keep our government open. It’s appalling.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Just saw a profile of an “AI artist”. In their bio it said “If you don’t like AI images, feel free to move along.” No problem. But also, prompt generation is just robot vomit & isn’t making art. It’s the opposite of art, stealing from artists. Move along & block, that’s what’s happening. #NoAIart

Sign of the times. TY @marinaomi.bsky.social for your hard work creating and maintaining a useful database. I hate that shutting it down is probably the right thing to do.

Whatever movie is made with AI actors, I’ll never see it. If all movies switched to AI actors, I’ll stick to my current collection. Not interested. No uncanny valley for me. #noAI #noAIart

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

*taps sign*

Come to the New Yorkers Against ICE rally Thursday, 9/25 at 6 pm, Foley Square! You will not be alone! Just some of the endorsing orgs: @nywfp.bsky.social @socialists.nyc @jfree.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org @climatedefenders.bsky.social @nyclu.org @citizenactionny.org

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear: We want ICE out of New York City. We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

A statue of Donald J Trump and “best friend” Jeffrey Epstein has appeared on the National Mall. An accompanying plaque says that it is in honor of Friendship Month. The National Park Service approved the installation. #ReleaseTheFiles

This right here. #freedomofspeech

1/ Happy #BisexualVisibilityDay . I exist, am bi, & still kinda visible, despite introvert tendencies. Here are a few selfies (one is just my hand) & some #BiFunFacts -

Yup. I weirdly miss shopping at target because it’s proximity, but boycotting it wasn’t difficult to do.

In case anyone has forgotten, vaccines are literally MIRACLES and one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. Seriously MAGIC.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

2. This is also what Jimmy Kimmel said the day that Charlie Kirk was assassinated:

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Describe a single historical precedent for defeating authoritarians by being nicer to them.

Restoring this Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery. It’s gonna cost *10 million dollars*. This administration would rather pay 10 million on a monument to racism and slavery than feed hungry people. Disgusting. www.newsweek.com/these-republ...

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

This is what’s up.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I was just talking about this with a friend today. We went out to a public place, SPX, & the building was flying the flag at half mast. I said it made me mad, my friend disagreed. They said political violence is always wrong. I said sure, but they didn’t lower the flag for Melissa & Mark Hortman. 🤬

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

A dream of the fields study

Abolish ICE.

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

I don't think you even have to like Gretchen to recognize that she, as a best-selling horror writer with an active following, was a get for DC comic. A DC comic was not a get for Gretchen Felker Martin

They hate women. That’s the bottom line. Any women who voted for this aren’t going to be any safer than the rest of us.

I feel it is my responsibility as your mainstream comic book friend to further explain that what dc is doing to Gretchen is unprecedented They haven’t only cancelled the series, they are refunding the comics that are already created and recalling the issue that is already sold.

I wish this was less true.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

The documents obtained by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov make it clear: the adjudicated rapist in the White House is a threat to survivors and a threat to women.   Yet, there’s so much more we don’t know. Release the Epstein Files.

I wonder if all these threats to African American institutions are linked to the flood of Fox News personalities screaming “we need to fight back”? Eh, probably just a series of incredible coincidences

Friends, you are only TWO DAYS away from SPX!!! 🥳🪩🎈 If you have ducks, put them in a row. Make sure you have your tickets. You still get them at smallpressexpo.com. We’re so close! Can’t wait to see you!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

A new study links 200+ heatwaves to climate change and the emissions of major fossil fuel producers. While the Trump admin argues climate pollution doesn't endanger people, @jsmankin.bsky.social says this "research here shows—very clearly— that these emissions have an undeniable impact on society."

This is what’s happening while we’re distracted with everything else. Obscenely rich getting even richer; everyone else pays for it. But sure, let’s be angry at trans people/immigrants/ The Other while our livelihoods are trashed.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
