Now is a really good time to be talking to and reading and listening to movement elders with experience in antiwar work.

There is a long and storied history and a lot of insights hard-won.

Seek their wisdom.

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

And yes, I've already seen the usual nonsense of 'oh you're against this war? you must love dictators!'

Folks using this argument should know better. But they're not making it to convince you of anything.

His opponent in the primary is explicitly anti-AIPAC at the very least. As far as the cruddy congressman himself, yeah, guys like him always end up taken care of for their fealty to the powerful. But I want at least a chance of a better future, and letting him sit in power ain't helping that.

I live just outside this guy's district, but I know folks who live in it. Already been getting in touch with them about this nonsense and reminding them that there's a primary coming up real soon and he's not running unopposed.

You're endorsing more violence and war. The only people who can free the people of Iran are the people of Iran. And that gets harder every time you give the regime an excuse to blame others for the problems of their nation.

Whenever an institution announces that it has "banned DEI" at Trump's request, it is now an explicitly white supremacist institution.

Just remember that and plan accordingly.

We have a meme for this exact sort of situation. Let them destroy each other. We have better things to do than stan for a shitty AI company that is doing one thing right.

The Furry community is, as is so often the case, ahead of the rest of society on this curve.

We'll continue to elevate each other as we have always done; but it is more crucial than ever that we reach out to others and teach them how to do the same.

Fursuits are the future though!

Can anyone identify this IC? I can't find anything

randomly dicking around on Reddit and suddenly I see this post about NSFW tips and top comment is:

"People can be turned on by fantasies without actually wanting to do that thing in real life."

Look if Redditors can get it you'd think puriteens on social media would, but here we are lmfao

Dang Harry is still being useless.

Behold, the 2024 election in the Swingiest States of America!

All but one state was decided by the most narrow of margins... Super-Oklahoma-North-Florida is of course the one non-swing state.

Also, the electoral college is kind of stupid.

The net result is that no one actually pursues it (except for religious zealots) but from time to time an artificial entity crops up with a childlike intellect in say a disused mainframe, mail sorting machine, or half melted combat robot. They usually never interact with the outside world coherently

In one of my settings I have it that fully aware artificial life -can- exist, but to intentionally build it is nearly impossible as the exact hardware requirements are not well understood even a couple thousand years into the future. Better luck with accidental emergence with broken hardware.

Remember that AIPAC is happy to interfere in Democratic primaries, including deploying disinformation designed to undermine progressive candidates and causes. So be mindful to not believe random unsourced/poorly sourced information.

Food + Writing = Yay!

no one should be renewing their nitro because this is just kicking the can down the road. until these freaks realize it's not the entire fucking world's job to imperil their security or banking to babysit other people's stupid kids and drop this shit entirely, they should be hemorrhaging money.

The sorts of folks that support Newsom (himself, the consultants he pays, randos who think only a generic white guy politician should ever be president, ect) aren't going to be on Bluesky. They're going to be on shitter pretending they're not in a nazi bar and pretending everyone loves Newsom.

Reminder for fellow ADHD people who have a hard time not doing things at the last minute. 😩 This affects voting by mail but also beware of anything else time sensitive that you have to mail.

Yoo doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. But that's also not new.

New Episode today! But is this a story about trust or is it really about the over-the-top paranoia about gangs?

It's bad that they're still on that site too. The extent to which Twitter retains "the commons" is directly proportional to how many people like you insistently stay on there. That's a choice, and you all could choose differently.

"Most other superheroes who have special or iconic tools either rely on some sort of magic, superscience, or other worldly powers to empower them. But mine is just a sledgehammer. Do you know why?"
"Aesthetics?"
"No. It is to keep me in check. If I swing it hard enough to shatter, I swung too hard."

The core structures of the parties prevent anything remotely like that from happening on the national stage. And what more, Republicans are just pushing harder over time for white-nationalists christian fascist candidates up and down the ballot so even at local levels it has stopped happening.

I must admit, there was one house rate in the early 2000s where the ridiculously moderate Republican (who would later endorse Obama) was facing off against a no-platform, obviously corrupt Democrat... but those moments are rather uncommon and never happen on a national level.

This is a map I made with redraw the states where I use the top 50 cities (that aren't in the same county as another of the top 50 cities) to redraw the states as effective city states. It is interesting that Boston, New York, and Philly dominate the northeast while TX, CA, CO, and FL fracture so.
