"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

We are so far beyond "show us your papers." They don't want to see the papers. We are now into the "give us the names" stage of the occupation.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

they should invent a year that's better than the one before it

I can’t really tell if the overall sentiment towards AI is negative or if the algorithms have trapped me in an echo chamber of AI hate. I like to think the general public is turning on it

I’ll have one (1) article that’s going to age like milk to go, please

Hey man I’m sorry that really sucks BUT have you ever stepped on some water you didn’t know was there and now your sock is all wet?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Do you guys think the evil people know they’re evil and they go “muahaha” to themselves? Or have they just gotten so good at squashing the little Jiminy Cricket in their heads that they think morality is a concept invented by the woke mob?

IG knows I’m a cat owner so now every ad is trying to convince me that my cat is deeply unhappy without their product

Haha, well, MY favorite movie is an AMC Artisan Film. I’m afraid yours lacks a shiny golden border

sugar and caffeine guide my steps today

"Baman Piderman" will be back soon (via their own creators @smallbu.bsky.social) ♡

I LOVE LIFTING (and by lifting I mean lifting media from the timeline in Avid Media Composer)

The US ban on state AI regulation may be voted on in the senate very soon. If you live in one of these states - FL, MO, TX, TN, WI, AK, ME - please call your senators & ask them to remove the "state AI regulation ban" in the budget reconciliation bill NOW! Link to call & what to say in next post 1/

What the fuck kind of headline is this? These publications have no shame over serving the oligarchy

About a month later, this was such a good decision. I feel so free. No anxiety over keeping the streak going. I use Mango now and I’m probably learning more, and without ads.

Spotted in Burbank: a citizen driving behind an unmarked ICE SUV on speakerphone shouting "LA MIGRA!". Just following them wherever they turned. Hero shit.

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

There were pictures like these in our social studies textbooks when I was a kid, with captions like "A shameful example from the period".

This Saturday in DC, someone has the chance to become American Tank Man

In the span of a day, employer sends out an email encouraging us to comply with government authorities, then another email announcing mass layoffs. Respectfully, what the fuck

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

WSJ doing its job as a mouthpiece for fascism Yes let’s quote ICE’s bullshit statements without question and oh no, a whopping 2 officers were hurt 😢 how many peaceful protestors have been injured? Don’t worry about it

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

The cheat code to cooking for 2 is to go to Trader Joe’s and buy something that claims to feed 4

ARCANE INVESTIGATIONS is out now on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3581090/... This is my first ever Steam game, and it's been a long time labor of love. Check it out, and if you play it -- drop a review so the game can be featured on Steam's weird algorithm.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Are you struggling with what to do next? Does a General Strike seem out of reach? We get it. We've protested, but we need the next step. Here's how we get there. We're building infrastructure for mutual aid, a huge component of our ability to stay on strike.

they really need to invent a second type of money these guys can play around with separate from the money I need to buy food. Business Money. Money 2

NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY I never thought I’d see a new Kirby Air Ride in my lifetime. I will buy the switch 2 just for this

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

Check out the steam page for my first full video game: ARCANE INVESTIGATIONS! store.steampowered.com/app/3581090/... Investigate the crime scene, question suspects, and solve a magical mystery with lots of twists and turns! WISHLIST now, so it can be featured on Steam's byzantine algorithm!

The instagram algo is so ridiculously overtuned. It learned I watch Severance and now that’s the only thing I see

I have some complex feelings to process, but because I work in animation I can’t talk it out with my close friends, I can only make comics about it for the entire internet to see

Can we stop pretending they’re trying to save money?

“Tap to reimagine with AI” I think I would rather gouge my eyes out

this is a good joke but this also speaks to a truth about 2025 America: the growing, horrible sense among many people that running scams is the only path to basic financial stability this is, of course, utter poison for human society
