Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

FYI @marisakabas.bsky.social more ICE kidnappings in East Somerville.

Something I made this morning 🙏

none of my posts have been as mean as this painting is

I deleted Instagram off my phone. It was not adding anything positive to my life. Constant anxiety over the latest news was keeping me awake at night. Anyway, here's an artwork I made last week. It started by filling a page with abstract calligraphy, photographing it and digital manipulation.

Stephen Colbert calls the Jimmy Kimmel decision "blatant censorship" and says: "With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch."

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Really interesting argument in favour of permissive licenses for open-source. This serves as a rebuttal to @vitalik.ca's recent post and a more complete version of the ideas Andrey shared on Farcaster (that I screenshotted and shrared here recently). Definitely worth a read.

Local CEO caught CHEATING at Phillies game?!

Pedicabbing Boston's Open Streets in Roxbury was such a great time. I thrive on giving free rides. A sure way to make someone's day! This was one week ago. Going out again tonight and bringing the camera 📽️

Trump has manufactured a national crisis, again. First, the January 6 insurrection. Now, by seizing control of a state’s National Guard without its consent and placing Marines on standby.

One thing I said in my AMA is that whichever of the two seeks to deescalate first is likely the one most afraid of what the other can do or what the other knows. Want to know when the back-and-forth ended *immediately* today? When Musk learned that Trump was looking into his immigration paperwork.

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

💯 this

I have such trouble keeping up with this place. Only so much emotional bandwidth for social media, ya kno? Farcaster is fun and income. I could replace Instagram with Blue sky at this point. Been using Reddit but keep getting banned for saying things like Elon and Trump should fight to the death 😂

AOC: "We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces

HAPPENING NOW: An aerial view of the MASSIVE protest today in Boston, MA for the "Hands Off!" movement against Elon Musk and Donald Trump

Have you read the Declaration of Independence lately? A lot of it applies to our current government exactly as it did to the king of England. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

More small detail added yesterday...

Oh.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Scoop says gmorning

Last step of a two by three foot piece: splatter ink

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Loving life is an act of defiance. Misery is part of how they control you.

swam two miles yesterday, feeling good about it! Was in the flow when I reached the first mile which was my only goal, so I just kept going. Definitely a personal record

Pretty convinced that a pro-social, “best version of ourselves” patriotism is going to be required to get out of the current hell. National pride is a huge emotional and identity force still, and the US national story contains tons of pro-social material to work with in addition to the awful stuff.

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me. Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.

"Stick to comedy" they say, as an unelected emerald mine trust fund baby guts the entire infrastructure of the United States and whatnot.

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

It honestly breaks my heart that Miyazaki lived long enough to see ChatGPT turn his life's work into an image generator.

Put another way: Elon Musk's lackeys have cost the average American resident more than $1500 so far. Just for this one thing.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Absolutely fucking not! Hands off our libraries

Doing daily renders / art posts. This was day one from about three days ago. Hadnt thought to post here yet, but will do so daily if people are interested! This is Blender geometry nodes with some of my typical calligraphy shapes in the background.

Nobody has any idea how many Americans are being tortured and killed in Hell Salvador prisons today. How many US children have already been trafficked by the GOP to South America?
