A lot of people warned for years that the combination of inaccuracy and state oppression made biometric scanning and facial recognition incredibly dangerous. I pitched sooooo many stories about this and was often told “but there are no victims yet.”

Look at this ridiculous primitive country, casting out its sex pests rather than making them Presidents or Mayors or Supreme Court justices

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

They really just compartmentalized history as “bad people hiring bad people to do bad things” and forgot that the govt is the one who let the Pinkertons keep getting away with murder. Even subsidized em.

Chicago ICE Raids By The Numbers https://theonion.com/chicago-ice-raids-by-the-numbers/

will kim is still in ICE detention

we're now a hair away from it being "treason" to utter a single critical syllable about Dear Leader on any topic whatsoever

this is evil

right, so … this is why the layoffs that are being attributed to ai are happening. it’s technically true but it’s not about replacing people with ai it’s about spending out the ass on ai investments and having to cover those expenses to maintain a margin by lopping off salary expenses

hey that's straight up 1924-immigration-act-style racism!

our planet is dying and our creative work is being stolen and execs in publishing are like "i was talking to ai today..."

*sigh* Concentration Camp Ver.A vs Concentration Camp Ver.B

My little girl Kinda is sick. Her fever is high, and her cough won’t stop. Since the war and explosions returned, fear and cold have weakened her. She cries in pain, and I’m powerless to help. Please, I urgently need $200 to get her medicine before she gets worse. 💔 gofund.me/edd687b8

People are so pressed about one Star Wars fan billboard, but they have literally raised $12,000 for Palestinian children:

If this goes where most marginalized folks think its gonna go & youre on here telling us that we **HAVE** to vote for him to get things back to “normalcy” when elections roll around I will block you like lightning b/c nothing will ever get me to support this heifer & screw you for thinking we should

your regular reminder that this company can get straight in the fuckin bin

Everything American is capitalism with a smoking gun and holding an overly processed hamburger in a dark back alley while wearing trenchcoat. The bald eagle on its shoulder is actually a poorly painted parrot.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Having lived through two cat 5 Caribbean hurricanes: Jamaica will require aid for years. The devastation's hard to overstate. This is our new norm under climate change. Infra like elec/water will be disrupted for weeks for critical locations, months for residents. DO NOT DONATE TO USA RED CROSS.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

microsoft supports genocide

crazy it is almost as if weiss has been promoted beyond her ability

Abolish ICE and the Border Patrol.

pretty much the most predictable thing in the world that Mamdani told a heartfelt story about embracing difference and celebrating his own cultural norms and racists are attacking him for being different and daring to express his own cultural norms.

i am at this point unsurprised that the trump administration co-opted Helldivers satirical fash aesthetics & mashed it up with Halo, but i am still disgusted.

I will never vote for Newsom even if he's the nominee.

When I drew this, I deliberately went against the conventions of mainstream political cartooning - the character with my views is fat and balding, the antagonists are conventionally attractive. So I was fascinated to read this response - a reader literally couldn't understand the comic at first.

Ms Rachel just called Andrew Cuomo a raggedy old racist bitch

Being “tough on crime” is racism. Being Tough on Crime means more police scour the streets for brown n Black people n disproportionately catch us up in the system, turning us into slaves under the 13th amendment once in lock up. Being “tough on crime“ is ALWAYS a racist RW dog whistle.

However bad you think the police surveillance state has become, it’s worse. Here a tiny police force has blanketed a tiny town in a network of cameras to track every person and vehicle that goes through. Which leads a cop to this woman’s house to lie to her to coax a false confession.

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.* They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets. Duh.

this FUCKING guy

Texas is about to find out that they should not launch frivolous lawsuits, because the counter suit for defamation and fall information is going to be big. FFS Texas - elect someone who will do REAL THINGS for you, not waste your money suing Tylenol.

I’m going to add that, they are doing this on purpose to increase the idea that Brown families lie about their connections to take resources and take over America Which is especially important as they push the idea of “real” American families

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Sincerely praying for safety and quick deliverance, funds at the ready for the catastrophic damage this will cause

Remember the "why won't protesters thank Trump for bringing peace to the Middle East" news cycle? That was fun.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Man fuck a Gavin Newsom.

In a world of Gavin Newsoms, Riley Gaines and MyKayla Skinners, be literally any of these 200 athletes. www.womenssportsfoundation.org/press_releas...

Seems like there’s a real appetite for democrats who don’t talk like everything about America is already fine and our only job is to be permanent stewards of a vague 1996 status quo

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital. "I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!" The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck. Houston, Texas.

“Just go to a food bank, a church or a charity” For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry. It’s not sustainable.

Anyhow, if the numbers were this high for any other product we'd be screaming to get it off the market. bsky.app/profile/flux...

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.
