It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.

I say I don’t know who would want this but once in college I walked into someone’s dorm and they said “oh thank god, order pizza for us please” and handed me a piece of paper and a phone that WAS ALREADY CONNECTED TO A PIZZA PLACE, so… I guess this is for them

hi, i'm sky, i'm a trans artist from Chicago! i spent three months on medical leave and have no income, and am just about outta money, meds, and resources. any help would be massive, if you can swing it!! venmo.com/u/sky-viola www.paypal.me/Skyleaton

The most illustrative reply I’ve ever seen.

That thing where you pick up your cat and the cat's demeanor is basically "IDK where Mom's going with this but I'm looking forward to finding out"

I think all of the people who are currently rabidly rallying to Gavin Newsom are doing so specifically because they approve of his horrendous political instincts.

"It's not transphobic if we allow trans boys to play on boys' teams but ban trans girls from girls' teams" has the same bouquet as "General Motors can't have discriminated against Black women on the basis of race if they hire Black men, or on the basis of sex if they hire white women."

The British really found a way to “politely“ say shemale ey

Did you know that there's a queer version of the hidden FedEx arrow?

Being terrible on trans issues is always a tell. It never fails.

trans people vote at ~75% compared to 54-65% of 20th century gen pop. california’s the biggest state in the country. trans & CA voters are telling everyone *years* in advance “pick someone else—we know him & what happens when he’s your ‘lesser evil.’” can you afford to start in the backfield?

adding this to my folder of ludicrous supposed "trans sports" bans that also includes: chess, pool, darts, sailing, Irish dancing & more. as Molly says, it's simply about removing trans ppl from the public sphere...

everybody not religiously/politically devoted to the lie as a tool of murder already knew this but it's interesting to see the NYT, whose management has devoted themselves to sucking up to the Republicans, saying it out loud as a trans person you know I'm used to the NYT lying about reality

You can actually see this in the rhetoric by the way, people still being cutesie with the "I also want reactionaries to have free healthcare" rhetoric when that free healthcare will only be possible when they're removed from our societies.

it's important to remember that the people making out that bad words about AI are *racism* are overwhelmingly eugenicists and race scientists this is the right-wing trick of trying to coopt non-right-wing terms as a gotcha e.g. hailey is a rationalist and they're race science all the way down

Still trying to meet my goal, and haven't seen a lot of movement lately. My dental appointment is a week from today, and I will still need to cover monthly costs, food, etc. as well... Anything at all helps!

150 Miles from Minneapolis, Some Nasty Bigots in a Bar Who'll Voice the Opinions We Wanted to Publish

Over and over Newsom tries to stand for nothing and gets steamrolled by Shapiro, whose entire skill set is doing exactly this. If what you stand for is compromise and capitulation you will win nothing.

this is a rookie mistake when dealing with Trump, you gotta get the thing he wants before you give him what he wants or else you're just going to hand over your golden Nobel Prize medal and then the man who has never felt obligated to anybody in his life has already got what he wanted

You're telling me a woman was forced to give up her trophy to a biological male

huge congratulations to @froggyblink.bsky.social for absolutely nailing the assignment on the first-ever skeet to feature a functioning $TSLA cashtag

Hahahahaha

I know this looks feckless and out of touch but you have to understand that the Baileys don't live in Minneapolis and would be cheering on the ICE agents anyway, so don't you feel dumb now?

It's gotta be Johnette Napolitano in a walk, right?

Nothing captures the messaging gap between this country's parties like the way Republicans whip their supporters into frenzy over things that aren't real and how dems will look at kids being flashbanged by an occupying force of secret police and say "pls don't do anything dad is gonna be mad :["

did you guys hire linda yaccarino or something

Finally a comic that can become more business-forward I'm always disappointed in how mainstream comics neglect business

HC gas is evil shit. It will give you both acid and thermal burns on your skin, eyes, and lungs, poison you systemically (with long-term sequelae if you live), and will kill you outright in high concentrations (or if you’re just unlucky). This is a weapon of intentional and sadistic harm.

One thing to remember about NYT pieces where they interview people to get a sense of the vox populi is that there's usually at least one person in those articles who's like "I'm not a political person", and then it turns out they're a former local Republican Party chairman.

this is genuinely incredible

Times is interviewing the elderly getting hammered at a bar at 10am.

immigration is actually a very straightforward and simple issue; borders are a crime against humanity and all efforts to enforce them should be punished

you're voting labour?! reform enabler. do you want reform to win?!

it bears repeating whenever shitbag cops or feds decide it would be fun to just flood a large urban area with tear gas that tear gas is an abortifacient and can cause miscarriages

This is part of why “don’t give them what they want” is evil fantasyland complicity. They don’t care about reality! They lie, mortally, a thousand times a day! They’re already doing it! They fabricate justifications and the only reason they even want them is for the sake of ego!

This is a fitting companion to "we could clear out our court case backlog if we just did away with the right to a jury trial"

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

bcos labour spent their entire time in opposition focused on destroying the left so wes streeting and his friends could pick up a bunch of bribes and get rich when the tories inevitably imploded. 'labour together' don't actually care about governance. they never have and they never will.

21st century nazis have made the 'are we baddies' sketch obsolete. It is very clear they know they're the baddies, and they love it. They think it's awesome. They worship evil, and are euphoric in disbelief that they're allowed to get away with it.

The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

State-sanctioned rape was the inevitable product of the climate of anti-trans contempt promoted by Sulzberger’s nyt and eagerly adopted by the WH

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Someday I will be able to stop and process the unmitigated horror of existing in a world run by stupid, hateful rapists who long to destroy and violate everything good and beautiful and whose most nominally powerful opponent is a political party which thinks it's rude to point this out.

When people inevitably go "throwing grenades at babies is NOT who we are, ICE is NOT acting like legitimate law enforcement" etc: Cops have a long history of throwing grenades at babies. Without any consequence.

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day. This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

we are up to the end of The Good Place and ugh I just don't have absorbing the emotional impact of the finale episode in me tonight

Gotta love how in the Senate no matter what the party makeup is, there's always JUST enough votes to pass very bad things but there's always ONE too few votes to pass anything good. Fucking shithole country.
