NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts.

Anuoluwapo Ohioma at Disney/Freedom Fire has bought Karate Road by Eisner-winning cartoonist Rashad Doucet (Art Club; Wish I Was a Baller). Cobra Kai meets Duel in this contemporary middle grade graphic novel about a boy's epic road trip with his estranged older sister to train with eccentric karate masters in preparation for facing his opponents-and life's many unexpected hits. Publication is slated for 2027; Jas Perry at Looking Glass Literary & Media brokered the deal for world English rights.

As someone who has managed to not cross a picket line even when it was nearly all the grocery stores in the metro area on strike, really don't wanna hear anyone talking about how they just HAVE to cross the Starbucks picket line. This is like the easiest solidarity ever.

Please don’t make artists have to chase you to get paid.

Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

If you have a Tesla you should get rid of it immediately.

Winner Of The Record-Breaking $2 Billion Powerball Is Spending Millions Buying Up Scorched LA Area Land—Snapping Up Burnt Lots In The Ashes Of His Hometown The winner of the largest Powerball jackpot in U.S. history isn't retreating into a private island or a penthouse. He's buying ashes. Edwin Castro, the California man behind the record-breaking $2.04 ...

Unexpectedly lovely article about the Altadena-native powerball winner buying up burned land to rebuild the community and put local families back in homes. My heart is made very happy by this news. 🖤

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

I honestly never thought we'd get to the point of reclaiming frogs from the far right and I'm so happy about it

I think this is done?

Catsden Flag - Gadsden Don't Tread On Me Flag Parody - Emily K • Cartoonist & Illustrator This cat will tread where it pleases. A response to the Far-Right appropriation of the American Revolutionary War "Gadsden Flag," this "Catsden Flag" shows a black cat crushing the original flag's ra...

Just got a message from a woman who bought my flag a couple years ago: “My husband and I displayed it at the No Kings rally today and it was super popular. So many people taking pictures. Just wanted to let you know your work is appreciated.”

This is from Burlington, Iowa.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

People need to familiarize themselves with the gun battles the FBI & local law enforcement had with Black organizations. This isn’t new but it’s very dangerous.

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

I will still never read a single comic written by rainbow Rowell

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
