after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Why would anybody trust this? We had a ceasefire this spring and Israel broke it to commit more genocide. Trump likes to put his name on "deals to end wars" that aren't real. Be serious.

Bullying Congress works, even in "red" states. Thank you! Keep calling, writing postcards and showing up!

this felt too informative not to share

So nice of Gov Abbot to send the TX National Guard to Chicago to help kidnap people including the asylum seekers Gov Abbot trafficked to Chicago (and DC) last year.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

America should listen to Black people

When the CEO becomes the main character, it may be time to move on...

I'm sad and angry about the attack on a synagogue in the UK. Fuck antisemitism on the left, right, and the mushy middle. Solidarity is inclusive. apnews.com/article/brit...

Violating black and brown people's rights, destroying an apartment building, and creating Nazi fapping material for the 'Gram is an appropriate use of government time and resources. Apparently.

300 agents in a pre-dawn raid in an apartment building to end up arresting 37 people. Coming soon to a(nother) blue city near you.

To the phones!

Cool science communication web browser game on the effects of COVID. FYI I did have to zoom in to 80% to see the paddles you can control at the bottom of the screen.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her. Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken. Rest Free, Assata.

Trump doing another commercial on the White House lawn. Some folks say welfare leads to generations of dependence on the government dole. But it's tax breaks and tax fraud that have given us a family with at least four generations of grifters.

How? And why? The only way you justify doing something this cruel is if you believe there won't be consequences.

This is bad AND there's something you can do about it.

Chotiner: You say you've learned a lot from years of meditation. Me: I wasn't always the better person. But I've matured. Learned to do better. Chotiner: (pauses) I talked to your family recently... Me: Who wants to hear from those assholes? We're talking about MY journey to enlightenment.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

The Global Sumud Flotilla is more than a mission to deliver aid to Gaza — it's a movement reclaiming the Mediterranean from Israeli blockades and militarisation:

Democrat Xp Lee has been elected to fill the State House seat of Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House speaker who was assassinated in June. This returns the House to an even 67-67 split. Lee is the son of Hmong refugees who fled Laos during the Vietnam War. He was born in a refugee camp in Thailand.

They're going after non-profits and non-profit work they don't like, this time through the workforce.

I keep telling folks that closed borders also keep people IN.

Shocking for people who haven't been paying attention to disability as a main target of this administration, I suppose, but evil either way.

Here is some more advice for young men: one of the great things about getting older is that love is not a finite resource, but a verb you practice and embody daily, and you can have more of it every single day of your life until the day you die, in 1000 different ways and flavors.

This white on white crime is getting out of hand, someone needs to stop it

Potential language for calling people out without unintended ableist strays that hurt folks who have nothing to do with it. 💜 taken from : www.kent.edu/digitalacces...

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

The White House has already issued a proclamation honoring the memory of Kirk but hasn't said one word about the children who were harmed in today's OTHER shooting.

What in Gilead is this shit?

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

I am from Missouri and do politics for my job, and am just now learning of this sit-in to protest attempted RW seat-stealing.

There's no date in the story but it's from 2 days ago. The pitch is essentially, "The polices we voted for you to implement are hurting us and you should send us checks so it only hurts other people." Imagine any other group of people, particularly people of color, having the audacity.

The federal government now says QANON was right all along and Trump was God sent to save our children. If he needs to do a little authoritarianism to keep us safe, we should let him. If that means your family won't speak to you or society collapses, it was worth it.

Donald had a very terrible, no good weekend so they made him feel better by putting him in front of the cameras, taking something from a blue state, and putting his name on it. The country is not supposed to be used as one person's pacifier.

CHICAGO - REPORTING ICE Let's keep printing, folding, & distributing @meganpiont.bsky.social's zine: How to Report ICE If you're unfamiliar with folding zines (I was!), there's even an instructions doc in the file ⬇️

Something is very wrong in this country. This anti-vax nurse didn't "believe" in insulin and will get less than a year in prison after she killed her grandmother.

I Asked the Tarot Cards and I Have a Good Idea What You Did Last Summer.

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.

With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:

From Gavin Newsom's cowardice to this bullshit is a straight line.

trans people are not causing “trans terrorism”; trans people are disproportionately targets of violence and abuse not to mention government crackdowns
