The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Wait. Dick Cheney died...?

Cool, Cheney's dead.

This didn't just do numbers. It did numbers, hung them out to dry, called them back the next day, rocked numbers' world again, engaged in pillow talk, then talked about moving in. #Godzilla #Epstein

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Arrests, trials and prosecutions will not be enough. They. Need. DAMNATION.

A sketch of Charlotte! I think my art crisis has to do with feeling like my art is stale, so I want to try drawing in a more illustrative manner and challenge myself more.

It will never not bother me to hear “unalived” or “graped”. We’ve more than proved that banning language only creates different words for the same topics that we absolutely need to be talking about. Stop making serious issues sound less serious by banning the real heavy words. They’re not the issue

Happy Birthday to the lad :D

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

We should make publishers legally liable for damage caused by ads they host

How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”

I’m old enough to remember that “I was just following orders” was no defense. Nor is it now.

I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once. I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.

My parents wouldn't let me watch tv the entire week that 9/11 happened, so I didn't know about it until years later. Obviously, this was before the internet. Keeping that kind of information from your children is borderline abusive because kids can't learn to process complex emotions without reality

Kash Patel’s FBI puts two pounds of methamphetamine in the incinerator at an animal shelter, sending 14 people to the hospital, and exposing some 75 cats and dogs to the narcotic. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have been called upon by THE LORD to create, and who am I but his wayward servant to argue? Let this be a week off creations. #Godzilla #art #anti-fascist

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

If you were wondering why the sudden ban wave seemed inconsistent and illogical, that's the reason. The bluesky moderation team essentially ignored their own TOS and instead used rightwing outrage from twitter to decide who to ban. They then sloppily issued a post hoc statement to justify it.

Some recent commissions #VGenComms

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

I hope these kids make a full recovery. This shit is way outta control 😔 also 😡 www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

Trump Drew it. Trump signed it. Sue me.

US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Executive orders are not laws. Executive orders are not laws. Trump is not a fucking king, and people need to stop preemptively obeying this shit. Burn all the fucking US flags you like.

*DEEP INHALE*...

Washington Post declares: "What’s happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy." Democracy Docket reports: "The GOP’s mid-decade redistricting plan...will weaken their overall ability to elect their preferred candidates." Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Yeah, @safety.bsky.app, she’s right. I’ve been harassed by many of the people this list was designed to capture — me and my children both. They’ve contacted my school, my employer, they’ve broken into other people’s accounts and published my DMs with that person.

This is some nonsense

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Just got an email asking me if I'd like to platform Jake Tapper on my podcast to help him sell another book. It took everything in me to respond with a polite fuck no. But what's fun is that corporate media folk know they can get more engagement on an independent podcast than they can on CNN.

There are no - absolutely zero - “legitimate” concerns about trans people in any context. THAT is the only correct answer. The entire trans panic is made-up garbage. THAT is the only thing Democrats should be pushing. Anything less is unacceptable.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.
