They tell oil and gas companies that "AI" is the solution and tell us that "AI" is the solution to climate change while killing the planet to build more data centers. And so-called academic journals just publish these propaganda-as-a-service articles www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Blair Witch Project (1999) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) Stargate (1994) Probably lots more because we had a kick-ass $1 theater in my town and we went to so. many. movies there. (back in my day...)

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Oh right I can post about my tv pilot here also, so yeah my screenplay for Witch Amiss is a semifinalist at the B!tchFest Festival and Screenplay competition!

I think every Aerocade release is special but these two tracks on "Safe Harbor" especially hit me like a ton of bricks: Track 6, the title track, by Joy Kye, and track 2, "There's a Man Goin' Round” by Damien Geter.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Just guessing here, but I suspect the White House is pushing so hard for wars of conquest on multiple fronts because they see their support collapsing ahead of the midterms and worry they won't get another shot. An example of how tyrants become more dangerous as they get weaker, not less.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

man the video is circulating so settings > content & media > uncheck auto-play video & gifs

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

that's so crazy. i'm sure you put him in prison and banned him from ever holding office again right

Look, everyone. This is the freedom we want to export to Venezuela.

Happy Kwanzaa‼️ 1/1/26 Day 7: Imani means faith in Swahili. In the context of African spirituality, we believe in our people, righteousness, and the victory of our struggle. Egyptian symbols of the ankh (life) & djed pillar (endurance) symbolize commitment to good, right & beautiful lives. ♥️💚🖤✊🏽🪮

Government services aren't businesses. Delivering mail to citizens is something we pay for. But if these are businesses, you won't believe how much money the military loses.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We've had evidence of this for ages, right? Frankly this feels like those endless UBI studies where they all demonstrate UBI works but that's not the answer the people in charge want to hear so nothing changes.

Who remembers Tank Girl (the 1995 movie)? It's one of those movies I LOVED when it came out, but I'm afraid to rewatch it and realize I hate it now 😂

do you have a spooky short story? would you like me to narrate your spooky short story on the November 1st episode of my podcast? HMU in the DMs!

So many “Christians” out here not realizing their favorite parts of the Bible are in fact from a centuries long tradition of Bible fanfic. Dante and Milton would’ve loved AO3

Ready for tomorrow morning’s Protest Music on the Porch.

last night I had the worst variation of the stress dream that goes “I have a music performance in 2 hrs that I forgot to practice for” 😭 A friend asked me to play Classical guitar (which I’ve had like 6 lessons in??) at his father’s funeral and not only did I not practice but I lost the music 😭

Awwwwwww right back atcha, Meerenai!! 🥹✨
