THE SYSTEM WORKS thank you @jameslucasjones.bsky.social luv ur store

I have absolutely no interest in middle ground or compromise on any human rights, for roughly the same reasons that I have absolutely no interest in allowing a leopard to eat only *part* of my face.

If you want my support, let alone my vote, fully commit to defending the rights of trans people, of religious minorities, of incarcerated people, of disabled people, of children REGARDLESS their political expedience.

Listen, we can ENJOY the infighting and/or good things a terrible person says. But that bitch said, with her whole damn chest, that JEWISH SPACE LASERS caused the fires in California. So, no, we do not give her a pass or welcome her. We just eat our popcorn for now.

Portland has so so so many talented and gifted artists and designers. @multco.bsky.social, it’s a real bummer that election after election this is our “I voted” “sticker” (a jpg) if it’s for social media, make it cool. make it engaging. give it some style worthy of pdx/multnomah county/oregon

every politician standing in the way of us adopting year round daylight savings time should have to deal with my dogs for the next week when every day at 4:30 am they’re all “WHERE THE FUCK IS MY BREAKFAST MOTHERFCUKER”

Because of the shutdown, people on Medicare cannot get telehealth appointments. This is a big deal for elderly disabled people and those in rural communities.

In honor of this weekend's successful jewel thieves, I'm opening up my review of Michael Mann's THIEF to the public. A spectacular film. www.patreon.com/posts/61610796

media academics who actually study this stuff have been telling everyone for fifty years that this is why you need journalism that is non-profit and public/worker owned

the aws outage should be evidence that running half the internet on a single company's servers is a terrible idea but i fear nothing will change

2 of the smartest people in comics with a chat you should check out…

one of the consistently interesting things about ACA criticism since it was signed into law is how critics discount or ignore the medicaid expansion

white house has joined bluesky click here to block all official us government accounts instantly bsky.app/profile/did:...

... everyone who might be in a position to do that seems cowed, terrified of the implications (millions of Americans are deeply racist), so instead we just "uncover" this banal fact over & over again.

It feels like, socially speaking, we're stuck on the "revelation" step because we simply lack the will or ability to *do* anything about it. The next step in a sane society would be for media & civil society to *shame* the right about this, to impose some reputational or social penalty. But ...

Young Republican private texts are filled with deranged racism, sexism, and a fetish for violence, yes, but do you know where else you can find people on the right talking like that? X. Reddit. TikTok. YouTube. Pods. Blogs. This is just who they are, there's no f'ing revelation about it.

Satire is not that complicated a concept but it is difficult to execute well. It's generally a way to illustrate human vices for criticism via humor. What it isn't is an AI slop vid of the POTUS pooping on protestors. Because protesting is not a vice or foible but an actual const. right.

"Regardless of what you think of the messages contained therein, No Kings offered visual evidence that huge numbers of people oppose President Trump. This was one vivid expression of a vital truth of our political moment: Most Americans don’t like Trump and don’t like what he’s doing."

Louvre robbery. French police release image of suspect.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle. And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Once again LAPD ignore the law AND a federal court injunction preventing them from brutalizing media. I was knocked at the ground by police horse and threatened on a number of occasions with the rest if I didn’t leave the area. PC409.7 clearly details protections for journalists.

There's your "real age" and then there's your "Republican age."

Hard to believe Kavanaugh's initial justification for the Kavanaugh Stop was made in good faith. Surely he knew he was describing a world that doesn't exist. But it's truly infuriating to know he will suffer ZERO consequences, and SCOTUS admit ZERO error, despite such CLEAR evidence of mistake.

I heard new people are making their way to Bluesky today. It seems like a good time to remind everyone that I have some starter packs filled with amazing artists to follow 🥰 The Art Start: go.bsky.app/6WQAQna

relieved that oriana korol has been released but her 3-day detainment in another state is unacceptable and the charges against her defy explanation. katu.com/news/local/p...

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

really torn on whether or not to open @brickdiculous.com late on saturday so our team is free to attend #nokings. as a young shop, cutting 2 hours off the week’s strongest sales day isn’t a thing we can really afford but it feels like not showing up for this is something society can’t really afford

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

The fact that they are still doing the "Soros-paid protestors" bit is just an incredible testimony to the durability of certain tropes to negate the popular will, regardless of the lack of evidence.

When you see scary things in the news, look for the helpers.

never forget that they made jimmy carter sell his peanut farm

MAGA Catholics bringing the 'shut up and dribble' argument but for religion is hilarious

but I was told #metoo made men so afraid they wouldn't even talk to women

I had a call today with someone in OR who was talking about the need for more “agitation theater” in street protests to humiliate ICE and make people laugh. Well done Portland chicken and Portland frog.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

So yeah, Hegseth saying he’s gonna send National Guard troops to Democratic states is an escalation, but federal occupation has been the reality for DC for months now. And DC has a larger population than multiple U.S. states

start telling your friends and family now that CBS is no longer reliable, because I'm still explaining how Newsweek was hollowed out by Republican ghouls and that deal was like a decade ago

I'm just saying that we've never even tasted what the Joker is trying to add to the water supply, okay? Make up your own minds!

R.I.P. the age and mental acuity of the unprecedentedly old incumbent president being by far the most important issue for the mainstream political press (2024-1/20/2025)

The No Kings stuff on the 18th needs to be really big. If it is too cringe for you, do therapy or deep breathing or something and then grow up
