Also a great time to mention that there is a massive ChatGPT boycott that just launched. @markruffalo.bsky.social

I've never used ChatGPT, and never will. Fuck those fashy fucks. QuitGPT.org

We're tossing in a SIGNED copy of @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Magic: Soul and Stone comic collection for this fundraiser! Magic is political because if trans people are dead then we, a trans-own and ran comic/game store, can no longer exist. Also most of our players wouldn't exist. So! Go donate!

We need ICE OUT of Minnesota.

They need to repair and restore what they have broken.

Then we need to rip ICE apart.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

For those keeping score at home:

Today, we gather to sing to let ICE agents know that it’s never too late to put down your guns, relinquish your badges, and join the people who are protecting their community. Its okay. We welcome you when you’ve decided enough is enough. Singing Resistance #AbolishICE

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t.

Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity.

It’s about preparation.

Federal agents launch tear gas at nonviolent anti-ICE protesters in Portland—including children The city's mayor Keith Wilson said that it was a “peaceful daytime protest” that “posed no danger to federal forces.”

A peaceful protest in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday broke into chaos as federal agents deployed tear gas on demonstrators—including families with young children.

Abolish ICE.

When the Baseball Boy was tortured to death by Rose the Hat and friends in @stephenking.bsky.social’s ‘Dr. Sleep’, he stayed with me. His terror. Nobody saved him.

Turns out a worse knot of vampires run the world. Monsters eating children and innocence. Those babies are owed justice. Now. #Epstein

Agreed. When “liberal = apologist” I want to bring them in for deep and meaningful domestic violence training.

There is nothing that can be done “correctly” - the point is to criticize as a means of dominating -> and there’s no winning or convincing the abuser / fascist.

This comment is not meant to take anything away from reporting on loss of Black American lives.

AND Native Americans have been made invisible in this country.

Statistics are worse for Native Americans & include many “in custody deaths” that are written off (falsely) as “medical issues”.

Does everyone see she cut him out of the photo???

She made a choice and those circulating the whole photo are the type of person who made it harder for her to live in society.

Sit the fuck down, be still, reflect on why you think your impulses are more important than her life was.

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

A website where someone is keeping track - big props!

Agreed. Considering what’s at stake, need all of it 24/7.

Yes! Fight Fight Fight

AND - not seeing this reporting from NPR on Facebook or Instagram. 🧐

“They don’t view an honest discussion of policy as something they need to slow down and do.” We’re digging into the Trump team’s logic, or lack-there-of, with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social.

This is my version of “The well is dry. The season has turned. I’ve invested what I could in your growth and development. Someone else’s turn now.”

It becomes clear this is a good choice as they lose their minds trying to get me to roll this back.

I find @listifications.app (which DM’s you when you’re added to a list or if you get blocked) very useful, both as a “you’re being an ass, stop” sense-check but also as a hilarious “some people really don’t like jokes about Starmer and alpacas”’gauge.

A few thoughts about today's protests:

1) The April 5 Hands Off day of action clearly ranks as one of the very largest mobilizations in U.S. history, by two different measures:
-- total national turnout (~ 3 million)
-- number of local protests (~ 1400)
