I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

ICE raids in all these Southern California cities today. Anaheim, La Mirada, Santa Ana, Bell Gardens, Cathedral City, Hawthorne, San Bernardino, Wilmington, Compton, Cherry Ave., Long Beach, Alhambra, Savers & Tyler St, Riverside, Citrus Av., Fontana, and San Fernando Valley.

Great classic, still relevant; unfortunately: youtu.be/kTs_Q4hEqmA?...

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

“We will not comply. Mahmoud, we are on your side!” hundreds of Jews and allies chant inside Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan in protest against the ICE detention of Mahmoud Khalil.

Almost done. ✌️ #crossstitch

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Phil Collins & Chester Thompson drum duet which leads into Los Endos performed live from Wembley Stadium July 4, 1987. I was enough to see this live in the early 2000s youtube.com/watch?v=3pS_...

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

Genesis performing, Mama, in front of a crowd of 288,000 people at Wembley stadium in 1987. Lots of synths in this really creepy, sinister track and a notoriously creepy laugh; totally 80s and absolutely one of my favorites! youtube.com/watch?v=yzab...

Repugnant

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."

Last night I deleted my FB, IG, Threads, Amazon accounts. I am now here, and use @thestorygraph.com and @librofm.bsky.social instead of Goodreads and Audible, respectively.

“I ain’t thanking that motherfucker for shit. What kind of abusive relationship type shit is that.”

TikTok is now a state run-propoganda machine. #tiktok #fascism #oligarchy

When everyone sees the banner on TikTok that trump saved the app, many many people are going to fall for that propaganda. Spread the word that the new TikTok will be state propaganda. Delete twitter and all meta apps. The real TikTok is dead.

The People's March turnout was greater than many expected. Keep fighting back! GREAT TURNOUT!

28 million (and counting)

This is me in the 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s, 2010’s, 2020’s…

Peter Gabriel’s “Games Without Frontiers",was released on his 1980 self-titled third studio album(fans call it: Melt),it included backing vocals by Kate Bush.The song's lyrics are interpreted as a commentary on war and international diplomacy being like children's games. youtu.be/3xZmlUV8muY?...

People have memory of a goldfish

I remember.

Friendly reminder that Trump got butt hurt from K-pop fans who organized and hurt his little ego so HE initiated a TikTok ban; now he teamed up with the CEO of TikTok and created a dear leader type of message to everyone, so he can “save it”. Fuck,fascists, and fuck, oligarchs; delete all Meta apps

And leave 1 star reviews for all Meta apps while we're at it

“And you kill what you fear. And you fear what you don’t understand.” - Phil Collins, Duke album; Genesis. They just deleted a right bc they were lobbied by Zucc. They all just invested in Meta. They don’t care about anything but their wallets. Let alone our rights.

The TikTok CEO being vocally supportive of Trump and that eerie message we are all getting in app is enough to make me nuke my account once access is restored later this week. Owners of social media platforms being buddy buddy with government fascists is dystopian af.

Trump tried to ban TikTok when he was president, but now he’s forcing the company to grovel to him so he can pretend to be the savior and bring it back on Monday. American law and public policy is now for sale to the highest bidder. 💰💰💰

Biden signed the bill into law. Get mad and get rid of all the establishment democrats as well. The age of neoliberals has to die and the only alternative to fascism is socialism

TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers. It also had a large chronically ill community. The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.

Guys, we can take action, Ben & Jerry’s is, no joke, organizing marches in conjunction with this website: www.peoplesmarch.com

Guys just so you know if Trump does reinstate TikTok he is not a savior by any means he is pulling an authoritarian move. He is the one that initiated the TikTok band after K-pop stars organized and hurt his little ego. Fuck oligarchs and fuck fascism: Friendly reminder to delete all Meta apps

Funny forget K-pop organized and hurt dear leader’s ego and he initiated TikTok ban. Also: Friendly reminder to delete all Meta apps bc fuck lobbying oligarchs

Weird how my VPN doesn’t work for TikTok. Guess it’s not as secure as I assumed.

Funny forget this, also: Friendly reminder to delete all Meta apps
