Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

I have been thinking a lot lately about this, because if you put Mamdani next to Jasmine Crockett next to that new Maine oyster fisherman... none of them sound the same.

But they all sound like normal people from their communities.

"Normal" is regional, you can't decree what it is federally.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

We're about 3 lines deep into the "first they came for" poem. It's not a very long poem, folks

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

This is an incredible story. Extremely well written deep dive into an entire generation captured by generative AI. Even professors are using AI to grade AI written papers.

Wild.

When you post images made with generative "A.i.," you're participating in the iconography of bullshit, trolling, and fascism. Just stop.

Star Wars Intro Scroll Episode IV It Was All So Stupid Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

I'm not a fan and I do it everyday.

flashback to how americans acted the last time federal agents started kidnapping their neighbors

Originally started on this in back in October in the hopes of finishing it in time for Christmas. Hey, better late than never 😅 #hellboy #klaus #fanart

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Taking a break from reposting politics to show off some work I've finished and my new business card

MachineGames's Wolfenstein trilogy is very good, but it is ESPECIALLY very good right now for some reason

Many of Braks School Daze and songs do I have engrained into my head, but one thing that always comes up is the pronunciation of Martinez (martin-nez) and I still chuckle

I feel like he'd love the episode of Gastronauts when they make the shellfishless boil 😂

Ok also AOC and Elon Musk are not in a “tit-for-tat feud.” AOC is a duly elected member of Congress who operates under an oath to our constitution and Elon Musk is an unelected Nazi billionaire whose wealth makes him think he’s above the law and empowered to illegally torch our government.

In November of 2016, there was a missed opportunity for a woman to run the White House. Here’s what over 100 comics disruptors created in response. Logo icon by @elsacharetier.bsky.social Kate Bush by @gailsimone.bsky.social & @margueritesauvage.bsky.social

Here is the thing naysayers fail to understand: this is practice. Everybody gets together and throws sand in the gears of fascism for one day. Nobody has ever suggested that this is going to be the single day that changes everything. But stuff like this helps ppl organize+ prepare for larger actions

For those interested in economic action:

I'm tired of being angry. Being angry with work, the news, the government, the state of the world, my favorite superhero's main series. All of it.
