WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

See through it.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

stay safe! avoid kettles!!

I’m proud of my confidence growth. I have been a people pleaser my whole life and still do care way too much about what people think. But I’ve had so many instances recently where I naturally respond so much more authentically, and those lil improvements make me glad to know it’s changing. ❤️

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Hm.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

In a few days, Mark Carney will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. Carney just gave up his entire portfolio to help grow Canada's economy. Pierre PoiLIEvre won't even get a security clearance. The choice in the next election is crystal clear #NeverPoilievre #noPoilierveforCanada #VOTELIBERAL

To quote FDR: "I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made."

Keep it up. They should not feel comfortable ANYWHERE.

I think of this often and yes it is a small consolation.

“But the email presented Americans with one of the other really perfect responses to fascism: ridicule.” 🙏

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Yk what? It's time to push for 200 followers, so here's a MD raffle! Reposting isn't necessary but it helps a lot! Rules below☆ #artmoots #murderdrones #GlitchProductions #murderdronesoc #raffle

BREAKING: Rep. Mark Pocan has introduced the ELON MUSK act which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts. The full title of the bill is the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

I agree, but we are already seeing it happen. There are currently: 84 voting and election cases pending in 39 states. 19 redistricting lawsuits. 19 lawsuits challenging Trump's illegal actions. Anyone interested, should check out Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com

This is exactly why we all need to support independent media.

Hey America, get off your ass and do it. That’s Germany. That’s how it’s done. Now it’s your turn. Get off social media, stop complaining and GET IT DONE !!

It's Pritzker and AOC who get it so far. Who else?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

We are now in an age where cynicism, bullying, and overt cruelty are actively rewarded on social media. Remember to not take it on you. Engagement is what they want, don't give it. Stay united, know they do this because they are miserable, and have nothing to contribute but hate. Stay strong. ❤️

Two hundred UK companies are moving to a permanent four-day work week. The decision comes after a trial where businesses tested the model. Workers were happier and more productive, and the quality and quantity of work was unaffected or even improved. future4days.com/two-hundred-uk

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Every one of you reading this have survived 100% of all the bad things you've had to endure up to now. Keep going.

WOWEE WOWEE! I’ve hit 100 followers! Thank y’all so much for getting me here. Moving over to this platform has been awesome, and y’all have been so supportive of me and my work, so I’m doing a little art raffle! There will be one winner. Submissions will close at 12AM Dec 16th MST. More info below

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25. That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Seeing more and more unsavory types trying to set up here, figured it would be good to post The Image

If we just block them, instead of fighting with them, they will only have each other to talk to and then they will leave. It's not as easy in real life but this will 100% work on Bluesky.

True story. Between Mastodon and here, I noticed a quieting in my mind, which was disconcerting at first. Things felt numbed, and I didn't feel the need to engage. And then it hit me: that's the point. I touched more grass. And since then, I feel like my engagement is healthier.

I needed this today. You may too.

Saw this on Twitter, reposting here, with alt-text, for new arrivals

When I drew this, these two used to be at each other's throats. So glad to see that's changed by episode 6 :) <3 #MurderDrones #UziDoorman #SerialDesignationV #SerialDesignationN

This is corny as hell but it does make you feel better to do something nice whether that is supporting a good newspaper or raking someone’s leaves or sending a friend an actual card in the mail. I’m getting Mister Rogers pilled in this fucker.

My skin has been thickening for years, on a personal level, on a professional level. I’ve seen evil win in my life and in my world. it’s hardened me. Like many other women I’m done caring what men say. About me, about my work, about my life. ❤️ I will continue to create, to fight, to do my best.

You know what? The word of the day is "No." No to despair. No to forgiveness. No to moving. No to disappearing. No to fear. In a world where -ism and -phobia is the rule, and I am meant to quietly vanish as a result, I say "No."
