It's just funny to watch these absolute hypocrites, proof they have 0 principles, while talking about how liberal their country is.

Germany's government (among many others) continues working hard on their surveillance state.
They want that #Palantir everywhere¹ & in anything (except their own space, obviously for "safety reasons"), and they keep expanding the #AI mass #surveillance, now even to their capital².

Trump’s war of choice is reportedly costing us $1 billion per day.
No Democrat should vote to give the regime even more money to wage a war that nobody asked for.
Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to oppose any supplemental funding package.
"More than 667,000 people in Lebanon have now registered on the (Lebanese) government's online platform as displaced. This is an increase of 100,000 in just one day," said Karolina Lindholm Billing, the representative in Lebanon of UNHCR
If your vote didn’t matter he wouldn’t be fighting so hard to pass this SAVE act.
I cannot articulate how fucking furious this makes me. The callousness…
I shouldn’t be *shocked* by the cruelty of this bastard but then he pulls more shit out of that stupid toupee of his
PBS News banner asking if individuals have been impacted by the estrogen patch shortage, with a note about potentially reaching out for reporting purposes and a request to fill out a form.

"I know there are real risks to standing up for what is right. But that’s always been the case...Still, the potential harms of silence are even more devastating."
In a march in Berlin on International Women's Day, protestors calling for a free Palestine and the liberation of Palestinian women were manhandled and beaten by German police, causing panic and chaos in the crowd.

If you agree with this please take action against KOSA with us, keep annoying your legislators. We must erode support.

When I was in Iran we visited the Great Mosque of Isfahan from the 11th century, and it was jaw-dropping. The textures, the design, the colors and symmetry. I've been to a lot of Cathedrals in Europe and this was very different.
“the fouling of an entire region in an act of mass ecological terrorism”

Read this and then think of that MAGA voter whining about how people were rude to her in Northern Ireland.

Best wishes for the people affected by this monstrous fire in Glasgow Scotland. 💔
I honestly hope someday art gallery sites make a comeback, and I hope that we all become less addicted to ''content'' and go back to the times seeing a new piece by an artist you love is an event, a good surprise, and not just like ''oh this one's cool *scrolls*"
This is not a critique on people, it is just a think piece about how things changed online, and it hurts me seeing artists younger than I apologising for going a week (!!!!) without posting new pieces. Your art should not be content for scrolling-by strangers, this sucks so bad.
I feel a lot of younger artists nowadays are in the path of permanent wrist damage and burnout with the amount of stuff they feel almost obligated to make in order to feel like they are still relevant and present on peoples timelines.
I was like that with comms, and all I got was damage on my body.
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
I don't often get emotional seeing the dogs off as I know they get a forever home and it free's up some space.
But seeing Twix leave yesterday was hard as I've known him since feeding him as a dumped tiny puppy. He's made it off the streets!!!
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.
to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be
This same argument can be extended to excluding black characters, to excluding women characters from certain roles, to any form of bigotry you can imagine.
It is explicitly agreeing to reproduce the existing system of oppression and bragging about it in the newspaper
The blatant bigotry of this has already been covered, but "we're not making therapy" is pretty rich from the guy who made for example UP and INSIDE OUT.
“anger is real, and so is resolve” goes pretty damn hard
We wish this was a politically boring time, and America’s 250th birthday could be memorialized and celebrated simply with fireworks and kitschy parades.
Unfortunately, it’s up to us to make some new history with organized people power at a scale this country has never seen.
