With light of recent events, evergreen.

Do No Harm But Take No Shit

There isn't a 'normal' to return to, and a lot of Americans are going to find out slowly, the hard way, because they're stupid

ICE just arrested a singing giraffe in Portland.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

you're already seeing & will see more stories about how various attempts at reducing energy use "aren't working," etc -- those are propaganda. this is fantastic

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

Listen idk if it's going to break through at all, but if I were the media and the literal POPE was lecturing me for being a lying piece of shit, I may look in the mirror for a moment.

Please guys, we need to act, this is so fucking dangerous

Relatedly, I recall a lot of "the joy of canceling plans" jokes and memes from the 2010s and now folks are talking about a loneliness epidemic, and, well...

Shout this from the fucking rooftops, people!! #fuckAI

Games Workshop needs to fuck right off. They're suing this independent model creator's team of 12 people, claiming "unfair competition." Indie team of 12 people vs multi-billion dollar corporation is "unfair competition", apparently. GoFundMe campaign is here, do your thing! gofund.me/9076bcc5c

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

A good example of why direct inflation adjustment of this sort is more deceptive than clarifying when applied over very long stretches of time where consumption patterns are very different. Basic foods (bread/grain) probably devours a third of Cratchet's income, but not the modern worker's.

Laughter is medicine. G’night all

then perish 😀

This is hazardous - being hogtied like this makes it difficult to breathe, because all your weight and pressure is on your chest, and it’s hard to expand your lungs. I’ve seen people pass out from being hogtied, and without QUICK intervention, bad things happen. Positional asphyxia is real.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Rodney Taylor still needs our help! He’s still locked in an ICE camp. He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs. He’s still facing deportation to Liberia. He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored. Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

AIPAC messes in Dem primaries and also bankrolled 109 GOP election-deniers. No self-respecting Dem candidate should meet with them let alone take their money. If you want a Dem Party that fights back, get AIPAC out of our primaries - and support candidates brave enough to take them on.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Like, my dude, it just sounds like you (Klein) don't want to fight, which is fine in-and-of itself (politicians who are always eager for a fight are dangerous in their own ways), but when we're in a spot like we are now, it's time to fight or step down to let someone who WILL fight take your place

its tough out there but so am i

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Debating doing another heraldry piece, but with a beheaded dragon and the scroll saying 'reclaim wealth' Yes im angry at capitalism today lol

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7
