just had the realization that the type of person who enjoys making ai art is someone who prioritizes it’s consumption, while those who dislikes ai art is someone who values the act of creating art

thank goodness the post avoided dirtying it's hands with partisan politics last election

The question "Why does this say male/female?" means that any trans person now has to explain their entire mental health and medical history to domestic or foreign government officials. This is de facto differential treatment that no other citizen has to face.

"It’s likely that SNAP recipients are hungry as we sit here," McConnell says. He also says Trump and his allies have admitted to withholding SNAP benefits for "political reasons" rather than to preserve child nutrition programs, which the judge said was a pretext."

McCONNELL said Trump's Truth Social post was essentially an admission of his "intent to defy the court order when he said 'SNAP payments will be given only when the government opens.' As a result "people will go hungry, food pantries will be burdened and … suffering will occur."

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

People who hate Zohran and everything he stands for: Now that Zohran has won, the most effective thing he can do is betray all of his principles

MOOOOOMMMM, get OUT OF THE CONFERENCE ROOM, you're RUINNNING ITTTTT, I shriek, four RedBulls deep into an already productive workday. The company will be bankrupt by noon. Many of us will be arrested.

The greatest threat to Jews all around the world is Israel. By *A LOT*.

I think there's going to be a generation of people who are reflexively less trusting of Jews because of the way so many prominent voices have conflated Judaism and the state of Israel, Judaism and Zionism, and consequently Judaism and genocide.

“Judaism is both a religious and a national identity” has me seething. I loathe these pricks who abuse my religion and culture to cynically prop up statism and genocide. Zionists of all stripes are doing immeasurable harm to Jewish people everywhere and I hate them for it.

We truly don’t deserve all the beautiful women sharing their likenesses with us on this cursed app

It's just such a transparent con. But then again, what isn't?

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Learning about the prison industrial complex during the post-9/11 years and seeing the build up of the police state was an early and major radicalizing moment for me.

there are more people currently in us prisons than were ever held in soviet gulags

Too many politicians will claim to be progressive and then refuse to take a stand on trans rights. You can’t be progressive while denying an entire group of people basic human rights. Mamdani proved when you do the right thing, you win. He fought for the trans community and they embraced him.

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was "that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either. Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

you're damn right trans people are going to rub transphobe faces in this one

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

this has been a VERY hard year for trans people so let me just say to all of you out there who stood up for us and soundly rejected transphobia in this election thank you for protecting us PLEASE KEEP IT UP WE NEED YOU and there’s still a long way to go but THANK. YOU. 😭🩷

It's been a half hour since the AP called it for Mamdani and already I see some people wringing their hands about how the cards are stacked against him, and to them I say, my friends, learn to enjoy a fucking moment, they didn't come around near enough, the man of the hour is partying, take the hint

When you recount this election day:

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!

just wanted to re-post this messaging that helped win an election

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

I want you to think about the worst person you know and how miserable they are and use that as motivation to keep going we are going to win

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

Mamdani just explicitly shouted out the trans community in his victory speech in saying that NYC stands with them

If you're not already boycotting Paramount/CBS, you need to be. They've been firing women and people of colour. Making lists of celebrities who are anti-genocide and refusing to work with them Bringing in right wing propaganda artists like Bari Weiss Give that money to a food bank, PBS or NPR:

@lizcheney.bsky.social Congratulations on your promotion to "most evil living Cheney"

Fuck dick Cheney and fuck his daughter too. The democrats failed us all Allowing Cheney to walk free after his mass murder of Iraq citizens. He directly led us to Trump and the fascist police state His grave is about to floating in piss.

best encapsulation why everyone hates democrats despite trump being the spawn of satan

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

Woke up today to the news

Trans girls America 🤝 Happy to finally get rid of dick

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

Got here as fast as I could

If you think the people running the US today are monsters but you think that Dick Cheney wasn’t, you’re part of the problem

all the staffers at teen vogue who just got laid off I hope yall feel how appreciated your work has been by so many.
