Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Iron Man meme, edited, Obadiah Stane yelling, "Your ancestors made timeless art in a cave! With berries and ash!"

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it

"oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go

Furries have already achieved the dream of every shit silicon valley technology and in a more ethical and less cringe way

Typing words into a text box and having art appear: commissions

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

@hehimta on twitter quote tweet update: jk rowling has somehow (despite maritime law) wiped over a decade of port logs/etc, her boat is completely delisted. strange behaviour. @hehimta on twitter oh tweet BREAKING A just watched in realtime as jk rowling's superyacht samsara was completely removed from marinetraffic and other services, not just AIS off; the entire vessel...

Following the release of the Epstein files Jk Rowling has deleted a decade of port logs belonging to the Super yacht Samsara.

What is she hiding?

As the U.S. bids adieu to the World Health Organization, California says hello In the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from WHO, California is the first state to participate in the agency's disease monitoring network. Are others following?

Block this fucker.

I see that she’s drawn some ffxiv commissions, so sharing here for those wanting to avoid commissioning her by blocking her VGen.

You should read the whole thing, but also just fyi

I think about this post a lot.

Some of the most popular webcomics of the early 2000s are just stick figures, so yeah just draw man its pretty cool.

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

Honestly if you're a member of someone's Patreon, consider emailing support and tell them bowing to apple sucks and you don't care about the app

The magic of backlight animation: that pre-digital era when artists had to light up from underneath to create lighting effects through unpainted or translucent parts of cels, backgrounds and various elements.

Did u know that you pay more for everything if you have an iPhone? If u can, drop the IOS bs and stop being over-charged for everything on and offline especially with the new push for dynamic pricing, and the blatant theft of profits from small creators regardless of the app or platform used.

And needless to say, this also has a whole lot to do with the very important Georgia Senate seat up in 2026.

If you think they aren't working overtime to contest the election results you're not paying attention.

WTF 😭
Steering clear of / blocking SelahSketches. I am baffled.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Simply put, this is unacceptable. The entire agency is rotten to the core. There is no reforming or retraining a culture of lawlessness, there is only uprooting every part of it and then trying something different.

Call your senators and demand they abolish and prosecute ICE and the DHS

AI bros are fuming because they can’t replace the soul in art ☠️ @kgpaints.bsky.social I love the outcome ♥️

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc

DHS funding bill faces new Senate hurdles after another person killed in Minneapolis Some Democrats who voted for recent funding bills said they'll vote against any DHS bill without restrictions on enforcement operations. The deadline to avert a shutdown is Friday.

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING.

202–224-3121

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.
