It’s hardly surprising that the same people who were fine with older Americans dying from Covid have no issues with cutting Medicare.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

An American flag flies above a street in Vilnius as police outriders surround hearses transporting the bodies of the US servicemen. 100s of locals are seen lining the street.

An American flag flies above a street in Vilnius as police outriders surround hearses transporting the bodies of the US servicemen. 100s of locals are seen lining the street.

Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil.

As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course.

Comic style image reads "Your trans body is" in bold, then in lighter letters below "beautiful, good, incredible, valued, healthy, handsome, miraculous, valid, cherised, righteous", then back to bold letters "no matter how "well" you pass." There is a hand-drawn trans flag and under that it says "happy trans day of visibility. I love you".

Harriet Tubman had a gun
She shot slavers one by one
She freed folk in durance vile
and walked the railroad for a while.

She and John Brown planned a raid
Never did her passion fade
She used a gun and her brain
to cause Southern rebels pain!

Happy Harriet Tubman Day!

That Jack Daniels parent company has pulled out of @hrc.org's annual Corporate Equality Index is a reason every #LGBTQ Bar, Pride, festival, event should boycott Jack Daniels/Brown Forman Corp products

Hey artists, how do I find art for TTRPG games that ISN'T AI generated?

I'd like to get headshots for key NPCs, for example, and I want to support human artists if I can but all the packs online are "200 generic shitty AI pictures" or some such 🀬 even image searches just bring up more AI!

The real voters going to these events to voice their concerns and being accused of being 'paid actors' might just be enough to have them pause and question whether other people accused of being 'paid actors' might have just been real people too...fingers crossed!

DHS quietly eliminates ban on surveillance based on sexual orientation and gender identity The DHS quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the section prohibiting surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.

Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era. Now, DHS permits surveillance of LGBTQ people again. Just being queer makes you a suspect. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

β€œFor every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”
