Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

the moment any media replaces any human labor with AI it is dead to me. And anyone with any iota of appreciation for the hard work that goes into their games, books, music, illustrations, animations, etc etc etc should feel similarly

It was so much fun coming up with these designs and uses for the yarn! I genuinely love doing commission work - here are a few more samples including one *very* special one from @tabbiewolf.bluestripedboxers.com Would you like something as cool? Come to www.magicrabbitfiberarts.com! <3

This tugged on my wig a little bit /pos so I’m passing it on

There are some of a certain age group of digital latchkey kids who will IMMEDIATELY remember a specific song from just... A screenshot.

It's like every time a pathological liar tells you he gets to do something, too many of you just lay down and say, "OK I guess you get to do that." No. Our mantra is "Fuck you, make me." We do not cede the future to these fashy fucks. This is our future. Defend it, especially in your head.

The second set of my #FFXIV job symbol designs are now available for download as both mobile and desktop wallpapers on my digital goodies shop (for free! But if you'd like to leave a tip that's always very appreciated!) ko-fi.com/s/1772e6f38e (RT are very 💖!)

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

The move here for democrats is to make this the campaign ad for every single election but then also actually make it come true KEY PART

Whether or not you want to admit it, whether or not it was a joke, whether or not you want to do your personal deep dive you are still spreading it, normalizing it, & ARE part of the problem. Even those who are telling us how to identify bad AI vs good have done so w/o giving how-tos & spreading it.

U chould.

do not talk to new york times reporters if you're trans do NOT talk to new york times reporters if you're trans DO NOT DO IT

Yes! When nobody is looking, when it wasn't conventional wisdom, when he was still desperate for every vote, he stood by the most vulnerable kids and had their backs. bsky.app/profile/esti...

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

The Gen Z retirement plan is waiting for the revolution or dying on the clock and more politicians need to be reminded of the fact people have nothing to lose.

twitter hiding replies from me is how my stalker was able to reply to me for months talking about raping me and cutting me into pieces without my knowledge. he was violating my protection order and i didn’t even know it. it kept him out of jail.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Life is too short to be anything other than kind to yourself

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.

Why yes, I am still a filthy heathen and pagan. Blessed Samhain, everyone.

Job help! For anyone I know in the tech world, please reach out to me if your company is currently hiring for a SRE position in the Seattle-ish area or remote. Husband is looking and it’s a tough market right now. Could use some leads. Thank you! Cute pet photos for attention

Song on repeat today: Rolling in the Deep by Adele. There's a few folks I think about with this song. And I will listen to it once at least for each of them.

Our feature tutorial/artist for today is ANOTHER GEM by the talented @marinscos! EARS are almost at the EXACT CENTRE of the head's VERTICAL TILT, meaning the OTHER FEATURES move UP and DOWN PAST THEM in a NOD! #anime #manga #illustration #artists #art #comics #drawing #DRAW

Auntie Tawny really got me coming AND going. (yes, this is a real post. Yes, I follow this creator on a regular basis. This video was just so good I had to share.) www.youtube.com/shorts/fgrox...

Y'all, as a kid who grew up food-insecure, plz don't do this. There is nothing more demoralizing as a little kid than being reminded of your family's poverty. We looked forward to Halloween bc it was the 1 chance to be like every other kid and get access to treats the food banks never gave out.

Grokipedia is the goal of all AI companies—they want to centralize the Internet so we are fully reliant on one source of information. Then, at the click of a button, they can change our entire shared reality. They’re vying for our attention—if they capture all of it, they enslave us. Don’t use AI.

What, again?!

All this money just for them to first hand read our first amendment protected speech which they can do nothing about. Their aim is solely to announce this “big brother” surveillance so as to invoke fear and press our buttons. Hold the line. Resist. ✊🏼

Today will be spent getting my streaming setup back up and running as I swapped computers!! I'm planning to come back and stream lots of awesome games for you guys and hopefully soon I'll have something super special!

Patch design from awhile back, finally embroidered it

So as I sit here waiting for my heavy duty painkillers to kick in, I find myself watching this video about the MOVE bombing. And if you don't know what that is, well.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpQG...

Some examples of my commission work! These items were made for @mcmorganthemerc.bsky.social - he provided the yarn in each instance. The second hat is the one I most recently completed, and the last item is a Tarot deck mat and holder I knit that folds in on itself and fastens around itself.

Things I get really passionate about: - anyone can make art - furry conventions are good and you should go to one - convergent evolution - unrestrained sincerity and enthusiasm in the face of a world that overwhelmingly wants to beat all passion out of you - ANYONE CAN MAKE ART

Republicans in Congress have abandoned their duty to you and The Constitution. Mike Johnson keeps them home yet again instead of working to reopen the govt bc Tr*mp doesn't want the Epstein Files released. The destruction of our democracy is squarely on the shoulders of GOP in Congress.

I'd go into the negatives if I could but I guess maybe a 1?

This is my business and as much as I like my 9-5 I would REALLY love to make my living by being creative and making things for folks. I can make pretty much anything - belts, suspenders, shawls, even just yarn for someone else to use. I can cross stitch and embroider; I can knit and crochet.

Looking for the perfect Holiday gift? I'm available to begin working on any project! I an have small gifts - hats and fingerless gloves - done well in time for gift giving and if you have a larger gift in mind, now's the time! www.magicrabbitfiberarts.com

I'm hearing ICE is getting extra aggressive in North Chicago right now — Edgewater, West Ridge, Rogers Park, especially on and around Devon. I've seen helicopters a few times over my neighborhood today. Everybody be careful, especially when schools let out.

Fantastic list of resources, and I'm not just saying that because Bad Indians Book Club is one of them. Political education is critical in this moment. Reading intentionally and collectively can change the world.
