Pretty surprising…

I think Trump/his puppets are hoping they can manufacture riots so they can implement the insurrection act.

Definitely has to reach that tipping point. People have already been struggling and I think that point might come next month.

My prediction is that food insecurity/joblessness will lead to riots, but mostly in red cities where people have not yet realized the power of mutual aid outside of church organizations.

Coding is but one small area where ai is replacing people. I was thinking more about people like teachers, therapists, research assistants

It seems like a fitting time to remind everyone that luddites didn’t hate technology. They hated that their jobs were being replaced by tech that produced a poorer version of things they were making. If AI is going to take jobs it needs to AT LEAST do a better job than the people it’s replacing.

My new reference set has my skin shiny! I wanted to create a plastic like texture with lots of highlights. 152 high resolution photos

Long time coming. The House of Representatives passed an amendment to an annual defense bill one year ago that would have outlawed this. The Senate did not. When the bills were merged in a backroom deal, the amendment vanished. This happened while Schumer led the Senate, but after Trump won.

Thank you!

My action poses reference set! A whopping 316 movement poses where I channel my inner super hero.

Probably because insurance companies are deeming houses uninsurable.

Florida now has 177,00 listings. Highest level on record. Entire Northeast US has 79,000 listings. Lowest level on record. Why are people leaving Florida in large numbers?

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

Oklahoma Education Commissar Ryan Walters announces new academic standards for the coming school year. Among other things, all students will be required to learn Trump's version of the 2020 election.

Alarm as JD Vance says federal judges ‘aren’t allowed’ to control president Experts argued expansive view of executive power could cause constitutional crisis

Banning noncompetes. Changing OT pay rules to include more workers. Capping credit card fees. Erasing student loan debt.

All Biden Admin executive actions to help working people that were blocked by Trump-appointed judges.

And Republicans didn't have a problem with any of it.

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

Thank you!

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is reportedly furious people keep calling Tesla vehicles “swasticars.”

So don't do that.

This month’s reference photo drop! I’m staying in a beautiful apartment in Barcelona and this is our little sunroom. 178 photos of me and this table

What’s gunna happen when groceries are so expensive only upper middle class+ can afford food?
