I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

was quite literally on the phone with one of my best friends talking about this VERY THING yesterday. learning things fucking rules, digging fucking rules

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

hi it would mean the world to me if you listened to my band Ekko Astral’s debut album “pink balloons” & if you like it tell yr friends ok thanks love u 💞✌️

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind. I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why. Please share! This is really important!!! @heatmap.news

Two episodes in, The Bear has made me cry once per episode so far

“If he needs a million acres to make him feel rich, seems to me he needs it 'cause he feels awful poor inside hisself, and if he's poor in hisself, there ain't no million acres gonna make him feel rich, an' maybe he's disappointed that nothin' he can do 'll make him feel rich.” ― John Steinbeck

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

how can this possibly be anyone’s takeaway from the past 6 months?? news flash there are plenty of those “lesser of two evils” in office RIGHT NOW and they are doing absolutely nothing to stop any of this after spending 4 years “in power” doing absolutely nothing to stop any of this

Death to Spotify

This is actually how I found out there is a Mega Saver where Fuddruckers used to be

Do you think the people who whine about Wes Anderson movies being *too much* Wes Anderson also complain when their favorite bands put out records where they still sound like the same band?

The thing that really sucks about the Harry Potter remake is that they aren’t even making it because they think they can do it differently or better. They are ONLY making it because the original cast called Rowling out on her transphobic bullshit.

I made a post that was too dumb for Instagram stories but too long for Twitter so now I have to just pretend like I didn’t spend the last 20 minutes of my life writing and editing it.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

We don't deserve her

RIP Peter David. His run on X-Factor was some of the most fun I’ve ever had reading comics.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

ok libs, now connect the dots from this media fabrication to the anti-trans movement

this is not a free country

I've done my own research and I'd like the SARS-CoV-2 booster.

I wish y’all were here so we could do this!! I’m the griffin

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

If there’s one thing Democrats will do it is make a little sign in the face of fascism

Transphobia is not just about trans people and was never going to end with trans people. This can happen anywhere, even Boston. They want to police femininity and control women's bodies. And fuck the Liberty's statement. You don't get to call yourself an ally after pulling this shit.

Hey you can use my *exact* reverbs that I put on @bugheaven.bsky.social , Matt Whipkey, and others because Make Believe and Metric Halo put out the best drum reverb plug-in ive ever used and I was lucky enough to have presets included in the final release. Also put a little shoutout to Barrett’s

See, this is why we have to raise hell every time a jail tells us there's just simply no way to talk to a client on a phone line that is not recorded

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

In a few years (max) when people start asking why we thought AI was a good idea I am creating a record that we did NOT think it was a good idea and the main reason people were ever convinced was billions of dollars of propaganda

for my 36th year on earth i’m gonna try so hard to stop spending time thinking about people who don’t think about me

This is what Easter is all about.

By the time you hit 35 your feelings are supposed to have calcified into one kind of big grey thing that you feel all the time

“hes definitely sketchy. he’s not this ‘maryland father’” everyone who is quoting joe rogan’s comments about deportations without due process should know what he said about kilmar abrego garcia on the very next episode of his show like, you should NOT hand it to joe rogan

Happy Socialist Easter Sunday. A better world is possible.

24 years ago, the release of THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE showed that ghosts are more than just spirits; they are lingering sorrows. We explore Guillermo del Toro's terrifying masterpiece, complete with rare insights, script, and behind-the-scenes secrets. 🔗 cinephiliabeyond.org/devils-backb...

This is literally a direct quote from over the top villain Jafar in Disney's Aladdin lmfao

We had eradicated measles by the end of 1999 because of our successful vaccination program. We had eradicated measles. We had eradicated measles. We had eradicated measles. Measles was eradicated. Measles was eradicated. Measles was eradicated. Measles was eradicated. Measles was eradicated!

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

A movie that takes place where I’m from

This is all going to get harder, but they literally cannot legislate you out of existence. When tomorrow arrives, you will still be here, you will still be who you are, and we will all still be here with you.

sorry for complaining so much on the internet it’s just that everything’s kinda horrifying

philly mutuals or people who have philly mutuals please read and share, very suddenly need new housing asap i don’t check twitter often but you can DM me on Instagram @drewshuck

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

I feel Ike something big happened after we sent a breakup letter with this list of grievances
