Five alarm fire. The entire cable news ecosystem and the largest online outlets will all be center-right to full-on Nazi: 100% mobster/oligarch propaganda, lies, and censorship, and nothing else.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a โ€œweaponโ€โ€”HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

We donโ€™t know, and may never know, whether this accusation is true. But we absolutely know that Epstein and Trump weโ€™re insulated from the consequences of it being made, and more recently the administration has corrupted the process to prevent it coming out.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

One thing to add: Democrats really shouldnโ€™t fear to be anti-ICE. Itโ€™s specific, unlike โ€œdefund the police.โ€

If asked, say โ€œOf course I support enforcing the law. ICE isnโ€™t doing that. Theyโ€™re breaking lawsโ€”really important laws, like the Bill of Rightsโ€”not enforcing them, which why I oppose ICE.โ€

Coming soon to ArtValt: one of the proudest accomplishments of my comics career was drawing this graphic novel, unlike anything else in my archive, written by one of my favorite authors. See it March 1 (and tons of other comics RIGHT NOW) at timeldred.com!

Got into an argument with a somewhat-nearby MAGA guy on our mutual (D) Representative's post about how she won't be watching the SOTU. His reply to me made no sense in English. I asked him what it meant. He didn't explain, but told me...

I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trumpโ€™s speech itself.

The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

U.C. 0079 - Gundam TV (FEATURES THE OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE "Doan's Island" EPISODE!)
U.C. 0079 - Gundam Movies (FEATURES THE ORIGINAL MONO AUDIO, unlike the US release, which only has the 2000AD 5.1. rerecording.)
U.C. 0079 - MS IGLOO (nothing advantageous about this one, honestly, except the nice matching box.)
U.C. 0079 - The 08th MS Team (except for the box, the US release has a clear advantage over this set, because this one doesn't include...)
U.C. 0079 - The 08th MS Team-Miller's Report (...which the US release DOES.)
U.C. 0079 - Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket (Again, no advantage, except for the box.)

I honestly can't tell if abandoning trans people is a "mask-off" moment for him (i.e. he always believed this and is just now making it public) or "mask-on" (he's making a play to right-wingers who aren't QUITE MAGA, but close).

Either way, it's disgusting.
