People in the US won't believe this, but a society requiring people to own a motor vehicle to get anywhere actually gives you LESS freedom than a society where you can safely walk, bike, or feasibly opt to take mass transit. If you're a slave to your car, you're also a slave to your job.

For all the media repeating that ACA COVID subsidies “cost” ~$30B, the U.S. just pledged $20B to Argentina to stabilize an autocrat’s government and protect a GOP megadonor who loaded up on Argentine debt. No one’s blinking at that. Let’s keep things in perspective.

"If they don’t promise to hold fascists accountable, they are essentially promising not to hold anyone accountable. By avoiding the question of how they will wield power, by refusing to draw a line, Democrats are saying they do not want to wield power, and that they have no lines."

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining. The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

part of the reason this is more effective than a lot of schumer/jeffries communications is that Mamdani is addressing *voters* rather than begging *Republicans.* 1

An attempt will be made... Day 1: Tomboy Using @lekroox.bsky.social 's #bonktober69 List!

Been awhile, so a new Felicia!

This. I feel like I’m going insane. Whenever I criticize the party and a rando tells me that I’m an “online leftist” who wants to lose, I want to scream motherfucker WE DID lose I just WATCHED us lose and it’s CATASTROPHIC. bsky.app/profile/jaco...

"They need to put the fear of God into Trump and his minions and allies, and make them wonder, every time they shred the Constitution, whether the Constitution might, at some point, shred them back."

KOSA is now in red alert priority. Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA We need to turn out in numbers against this!

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like. I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

@safety.bsky.app What kind of crack are yall smoking to have the AUDACITY to call this shit SAFE

This is the stuff we were told NOT to share online for decades. You're opening yourself up to a potentially catastrophic data leak @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app and users might have the grounds to sue.

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

as an author of a book on reparations I am intimately familiar with the move people make from "the thing you want isn't politically viable right now" to "you shouldn't want it, talk about wanting it, or even think about it" but it never stops being weird to me

IT'S FRIDAY! I'm celebrating with a new Rouge I finished up a little bit ago! Lemme know what you think!

starting to think that an increasingly senile trump is being shown a different reality by his aides by making ai videos of shit and telling him it’s real news

The bouncer at this club is always naked smh.

Weird how it wasn't my suggestion that you provide people with a list of pro-trans Democrats for people to throw their weight behind you chose to put in front of people. I'm sure people would love to know which primaries they could lend support to to help get the right people running for office.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it *incredibly* disturbing that the president of the US is very clearly losing his goddamned mind, but most of the media steadfastly refuse to even mention it.

Biollante, anyone? With BT: Gothic coming out soon, I figured it was time to start getting creative with my mech scale abominations. #Battletech #paintedminiatures #mecha #mechwarrior

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

This whole section really.

She enjoys teasing him~ Part 1 of 3-part series is live! Full uncensored vid on Patreon! <3 (Also looking for VA's and sfx for this! Dm me your rates and reels!)

There’s a lot details in full size of my art, and quite often, there are different versions too :3 So... which one do you like more? 🔁 – with the cage ❤️ – without the cage

Would you let him ride you like this~? >w> Public release from April! Another sticker/emote from my server :D

the dog told me to draw this

"Oh but my congressmen is a republican/im in a red state" STILL CALL THEM. not just on this issue but ANY issue you care about! Contact your state and municipal level reps as well if you dont trust your congressmen to do the right thing. And ffs dont post doomer shit under people's call to action

See? I love covering up! 😷 #folsom

Democrats need to be explicit that it’s a totally clean bill that will be voted on or none at all. The shutdown is HIS mess. Sure he will blame them, but he will anyway. The fact is the GOP alone is responsible for this mess if a shutdown happens and Democrats can and must relentlessly message that.

I stand for my flag 🫡 #folsom

Slight caveat for the sake of nuance that it's specifically expansion of coal energy to meet growing demand that is more expensive than expanding wind and solar to meet the same demand. But otherwise yes, 100%

Like I think large numbers of us very reasonably suspected that the president is extremely detached from reality, but receiving confirmation that shit is happening because Stephen Miller is playing him Mad Max movies and claiming it's Portland just doesn't feel good.

someone on here the other day said it feels like we’re watching a baseball game where one team decides every inning to not take their turn at bat

“That leaves us with a massive asymmetry, where Charlie Kirks work against rule of law democracy, Ezra Kleins pretend that they don’t, and together they work to convince everyone that all this is fine, just normal disagreement, so the people taking attacks on democracy seriously are the problem.”

“The number of Canadian passenger vehicles traveling into Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine was down approximately 32%“

I think "This jackass couldn't keep Jimmy Kimmel off the air for a full week" is a good thought to hold onto as the powers that be rattle their sabers.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

his lewdest technique, now from the waist down!

Everyone has post-nut clarinet, obviously. #furry #furryart #digital #comics

If there's someone doing work out there on the fringes that matters to you, please let them know, because this world is going to tell them the opposite every day.
