My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post One: "abhorrent” Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation” www.gamefile.news/p/halo-ice-d...

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

seen out in the wild, on my usual walking route (i.e. in no way city center). KEEP THE PRESSURE ON FOLKS we are not alone

RFK Jr.'s #2 is stepping in as acting CDC director. You need to call your Congress people now and demand hearings until RFK is forced out. They're politically weak for another 48-72 hours, then they'll do unbelievable damage in the next month. Show me that you called and I will give you a reward 👇

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

Yeah, we’d be fighting. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Embrace wolship. Fuck censorship. gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e2...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.

Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously" No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

I genuinely don't understand how anyone even remotely kinky can vote for the GOP.... I mean I DO know, everyone thinks they're exempt and they let their hatred outweigh all evidence that if you like anything beyond 'Feet' these people want you off the planet, but STILL.

I’m In That 72+%. Are You 🫵🏼🫵🏾

Let’s Not Ever Forget To Remind America 🇺🇸 Of This! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Everybody calling payment processors and raising a stink about this, you're doing amazing, and I'm proud of you.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

“Misinformation kills” was never just a metaphorical warning. And in the wrong hands it’s intentional as a weapon they can claim ignorance to/absolve themselves of the responsibility over.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me. #pediatriccancer #cancermom

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants. RFK Jr cancelling millions in mRNA research makes the world far less safe.

stop coming to the US take your families and tourist dollars to other countries that welcome visitors

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I made an anti-AI post on LinkedIn and the people angry or defensive all have Visionary or Founder as their listed role, and everyone agreeing with me has a real job. Amazing how that is.

This!

she posts videos of them trying to get away from her on tiktok that are sped up yakety sax style and scored by norteno music, theyre hilarious

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship! Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors. KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free. freedomtobuy.games

#SaveSpeech its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well! PHASE 2: START MAILING PHYSICAL LETTERS imgur: imgur.com/a/3pVupWQ more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

Wow. CBC just covered the Steam / itchio situation. DONT STOP CALLING MASTERCARD, VISA, PAYPAL, STRIPE www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/s...

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves. CALL THEM

Some people (who claim not to be company shills) would like us to stop calling payment processors to object to them stopping us from spending our money on things we want. They're hopping onto threads about how we're going to get innocent call center workers fired, how dare we?!

Question: Would having a tail feel extremely good? Comment for Yes! Repost for Yes! Like for Yes!

(this is the correct angle to play, you'll waste waaaay more of their time this way and piss them off waaay worse)

You know what'd be super funny? Not just blowing up their call centers, but their mail. Mastercard 2000 Purchase St. Purchase, NY 10577 US Stripe 354 Oyster Point Blvd. South San Francisco, CA 94080 US Paypal 2211 N 1st St. San Jose, CA 95131 US Visa 900 Metro Center Blvd, Foster City, CA 94404

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)

What a headline.
