So @underthedesknews.bsky.social is urging folks to call your Senators especially if they are the 8 yes votes and demand they vote no on the next round. This isn’t over. Like I said earlier: it’s boots on necks time. We raise hell and we don’t abandon folks w/ ACA. Switchboard 202-224-3121

I've been making drops at my local free fridge as often as I can get down there. I've been heartened to see a lot of other people doing the same.

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly) light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

Are y'all ready for my latest conspiracy theory?

The US consumer is completely drained, and what did they do with all that cash they extracted from us? Lit it on fire to make a machine so advanced its the first ever computer that can't do math and spent the remaining scraps buying the media and presidency so people couldnt be mean about them

Two days left to comment. Takes mere seconds. Saves lives. If you’ve been feeling helpless— this is a thing you can do! It’s been effective in the past. Healthcare is a human right. Disability & health justice is for everyone. Be LOUD. Our enemies are spineless, and we outnumber them.

Thank you to Eddy Choi for the heads up about Comic Art Fans. I’ll be making my work related art available there. Here’s some stuff I added this morning already, more coming soonish (link in comments). Huge thank yous for the recent Big Cartel orders; they will be going out tomorrow!

A story in four parts

I was taking a photo of a pot to see if any of my friends wanted it but needed something for scale...

If you see anyone sharing lists of worker-owned sites that are trying to fight all this madness, please consider shouting out @popheist.com. We are still new and trying to get the word out. Anything helps!

I am having a debate with my husband, so please chime in with your input. In your elementary school experience, who went to Jupiter to get more Stupider?

If they remade weird science with girls, they'd just create some guy with a dad bod

I have what the kids call a "niche sense of humor".

I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

This is important. Food banks can bulk buy, and stretch that money further than you can. They also know what they actually need. Money is better!

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. 🏳️‍⚧️

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Which Metal Gear was this again?

Selfie from Sailor Moon tea this weekend <3 I think I'll keep up the sparkly background for a while. :)

On Sunday I held a Sailor Moon themed tea for my friends. I've waited forever to do this, and with us still hyped from the show last week, now seemed like a good time. I always enjoy coming up with food puns for parties and my favorite this time was "tsukune kawatte", soba with chicken meatballs.

It isn't just Trump. In Texas, media keep relaying that the legislature and lieut. governor are going after higher ed because of DEI, or campus protest, or wokeness run amok, or something -- without questioning if there's any merit to those allegations. (There is none. It's purely a power grab.)

Free Covid tests! My understanding is this is still happening and anyone can order—just spoke to someone who ordered 3000 tests as an individual and was able to very quickly distribute them out to interested groups! And let me emphasize: for free!!

This is a Pokémon evolution

It's about the yearning.

Reading the entertaining and thoughtful articles on this site has been a welcome reprieve in recent months.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.
