I drew these guys with a duel ink pen and it was a good time.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment. Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/phin...

We have ONE WEEK left to tell the Senate to #FundLibraries in next year's federal budget. Are you ready to take action? Call your Senators TODAY and remind them how important libraries are to your community - and how important it is that they provide robust federal funding: ala.org/showup

Psst, hey kid, wanna see some good news?

NJ CD-2… unsure of who to vote for in the upcoming primary? Come to our Candidate Forum this Saturday in Galloway, and hear what each of them have to say! Details and RSVP below.

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.

Hey y'all, given the state of... everything, I'm opening digital pet portrait commissions on a limited basis! 🐾🎨🖌️ 🖼️ $60 each (or two for $100) includes a portrait of one pet/animal on a simple background. Please DM me or email me at [email protected] if you're interested!

Calls are increasing inside Congress for investigations into the prediction market platform Polymarket.

This is why the term “cognitive surrender” needs to start being used QUICKLY. It actually clearly defines what these fools want.

Almost 6 million people are supervised by the nation’s vast network of prisons, jails, probation, and parole. Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma have the highest imprisonment rates in the country. New report by @sentencingproject.bsky.social: www.sentencingproject.org/reports/mass...

Feeling déjà vu? Earlier this week the Trump Administration withdrew its appeal in a related but *separate* case. But it's not over. The President is still asking Congress to eliminate federal library funding in next year's budget. Call your Senators and tell them to #FundLibraries: ala.org/showup

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

The more you love ProPublica, the more reason to not visit their site today.

I know it's late, but I need you all to realize that as soon as we started paying attention to these races, Moms for Liberty & their ilk, started losing. They exploited a window of apathy & did a lot of damage, but they just cannot win when actually opposed. No unopposed elections anywhere.

In case your day needs some cute: a yaklet born just two days ago, and some fluffy youngsters enjoying the first sprouts of fresh spring grass

Better. Is. Always. Possible!!!!!!!

Impeach AND REMOVE!!

It's not just Iran whose surrender is being demanded. It's yours. Your hope. Your belief in yourself and our collective potential. Your empathy. They want to crush those things. They want you to believe their will is inevitable. They want you to surrender.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) is introducing articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth over his role as “a chief enabler of this illegal war” in Iran. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

When I don't know what to say, I am very thankful for these scripts. Use the five calls app, make yourself heard today. #didthistoday

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I’m at the dicey part of Covid recovery where half of me is like “…I could do something-“ and then the other half of me interrupts with “NO! You just FINALY feel a little better but you aren’t ALL the way better yet! sit down and KEEP RESTING!”

Easter surprise. Welcome Agatha the Epiphyllum. 🌱

There is no future for humanity in which the basic conditions for life for millions of people can be destroyed on one person’s whim.

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

Happy Easter! #iris 🌱

Recently, I have been getting a fair amount of questions regarding a COVID variant known as BA.3.2 that has made landfall in the United States (it was first identified in November 2024 and likely emerged earlier) so I figured an FAQ thread would be helpful! Here’s what you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

Artemis and the Artemis II mission! I can’t stop thinking about the Artemis plushie watching over the launch of the Orion hahaha #art #sailormoon #artemisII

Yelled so loud and aggressively about hockey I startled my mom and my cats today 😂 #PHWL Great job at MSG #Sirens!!!

Firestorm was the epicenter of locally-led mutual aid after Helene. @distributeaid.org wouldn't have had such a successful response if @firestorm.coop didn't bring the community together first. Please support them. They are far more to the Ashville community than just another radical bookstore.

Great news out of Georgia! ALL of the 15 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have died as the Georgia legislative session comes to a close. This was only possible with intense efforts from local LGBTQ+ activists. Subscribe to support our journalism.

NEW: The President once again called to eliminate federal library funding in his federal budget proposal. We have been here before. And when we make our voices heard, we can overcome this again. Tell your Senators to reject the cuts & #FundLibraries in next year's federal budget: ala.org/showup

Woah. His team should sue the magazine. This is bonkers. If a celeb doesn’t answer your request for an interview HOW is “I “interviewed” an AI version of you and published it” an ok thing to do when the celeb makes money off of THEIR image, time, and persona? (Also it’s just bad on a human level!)

This whole thread is not only informative but an indictment of everyone who is in this administration and everyone who continues to let this administration “govern.”

Glaze 2.2 is out. It is an update for Windows users to support recent NVidia GPUs (including 50xx GPUs). Downloads at: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu Mac users do not need to update. We are also updating Nightshade to fix the True bug and also support new GPUs. That update is coming in the next few days.

….if they make this show I’m gonna have to watch it.
