The Shutdown stuff is taking center stage for the upcoming primaries, as it should be (Chuck Schumer is a complete sentence), but we must remind ourselves that there are active concentration camps operating on and off US soil. “Abolish ICE” should be the moderate position. Vote accordingly.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Years after ordering two (one of which will hopefully go to a future child), @jocat.net ‘s Gob has finally been unpacked and overseas our books.

To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful

Jared Leto is a creepass but goddamn, if “Kings and Queens” by 30 Seconds to Mars doesn’t HIT

Here are all the accounts to block:

The ever-popular "shorter games with worse graphics" meme feels more accurate every year, after costly, trend-chasing failures like Concord and the long dev cycles for series like Final Fantasy, writes @gracemachine.bsky.social. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

This is a great time to remind everyone that you should in fact, still be calling MasterCard, Visa, Stripe, and other payment processors to annoy the shit out of them. Because I'll tell you right now, that shitheel? Not gonna have to worry about them accepting payment. *Artists will.*

Here's my updated script (refined through calling a few times,) to tidy things up for time, and specifically apply to both of them. Call daily if possible!

Chiitan has a dream. I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past. I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination. Until then, let's all support each other🤍

ye see this shits not inevitable never give up in advance

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds. Check out the latest from our friends at Reveal: tinyurl.com/4cm2bsdr

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

JUST IN: Chicago journalistsa re suing DHS and ICE over force used against reporters: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Maybe this is the one I should just pin and tap the sign when people show up in a lather

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

Many rightfully upset by partisan banner on USDA Forest Service website. It’s unlawful. Partisan messages have no place in the federal workplace. See: Hatch Act. Concerned #AltCitizens can voice objection here: osc.gov/Services/Pag... Or if feeling bold, try the USDA OIG hotline: 202-690-1622

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

❗ Quick reminder that age verification on Bluesky is fully client side! Meaning you can easily get around it! More on it here! gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e2... #bluesky #age #verification #bypass 👇 Repost so people who need it will find this post! 👇

That’s why I need to ask everyone in Illinois for a favor. Contact your elected officials TODAY and tell them to stand with the people — not ICE — for a press conference demanding transparency + legality this Friday at 1930 Beach Street, 9AM. Here’s a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Cowardice isn't funny.

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!

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.

Alrighty then.

Hey friendo’s report the shit out of this guy? Thanks.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

As respectful and polite as I can say it, doing a blackout when you need to be vocal is playing exactly into what they want and incredibly idiotic. You should be making a fuss about it, you should be drawing attention and forcing them to pay attention to the community. That's what will get shit done

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

#SaveSpeech US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230. Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

#SaveSpeech so you see that there's a bunch of stuff that you need to call your representatives about lately re: free speech and censorship, but not sure what to do or where to start? here's a handy guide with all the info you need! www.congress.gov/members/find... www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

#SaveSpeech the 'STOP CSAM Act of 2025' [S.1829] is currently estimated to be 56% likely to pass according to Govtrack This bill will undermine services offering end-to-end encryption and force internet companies to take down lawful user content tell reps to OPPOSE www.congress.gov/members/find...

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

Think its stupid that VISA and Mastercard think something as innocent as Cat Ear accessories are a bannable offense? Then heres something you can do about it. Complain to visa and MC, call your representatives. Advocate for porn, whole heartedly.

Remember if phone calls are too much for you, or if you need a break, mailing physical letters is another great vector to contact paypros or your representatives!

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

In an urgent clarion call to Democratic leaders, as the government funding fight heats up once again, Jay Kuo argues it's time for decisive leadership. It's time to stand up to fight MAGA fascism. It's time to demand concessions. And if you don't get them, shut down the government if you must.
