That would be a 50-100 old white people protesting ICE and the administration on a sidewalk in Naples, Fucking Florida

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

I'm pretty sure it was this customer who stopped me at the store on Wednesday to tell me he really dug Event Factory!

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ... TikTok video by HBCU Student Action Alliance

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Just checking in with #BookSky on Valentine's Day to make sure everyone will be following the John Waters Rule tonight

hi, cis folks!

if you’re in kansas, please call & tell your state senator & representative that revoking trans people’s documents & setting bounties on trans folks using the bathroom is fucked. tell them to support a veto—yes, even republicans.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Yes!

Jim looks at camera.

Looks like they are still 117 books short of their goal. I bet #BookSky could take care of that. Supporting a book drive is a fantastic thing for out of towners to do, honestly, much better than buying gift cards

Moon Palace Books Your neighborhood independent bookstore located in south Minneapolis. Selling new and used books since 2012.

Minneapolis is still occupied even if national media has looked away. Moon Palace is still running a book drive for Spanish language books. Help out by buying a few. (And skipping the coupon)

Can you imagine being the team that put that plan together?

I'm old enough to remember when muskrat asked how much it would cost to end world hunger, got told $20bn, and then didn't do anything but fuck up USAid with his doge-holes.

At the protests in Boston on Jan 10, a state police helicopter hovered low enough over the crowd that it was hard to hear the speakers. None of the usual news helicopters were overhead.

I filed a public records request with @massstatepolice.bsky.social asking why.

hi folks! @sesmith.lol, @andreagrimes.com, @theflytrapmedia.com, @louisathelast.bsky.social, @tekla.bsky.social and I are hashing out plans for a FUN AS HELL mutual aid fundraiser event to stream during the State of the Union (to save you watching it). we are in search of a few intrepid volunteers!

Feels very boomer coded

For sure. My town just shot down an Amazon warehouse and prison after repeated pressure at zoning board meetings.

If you're a book creator and people in your life don't understand why book bans are such a sore point for you then by god show them this film. It really gets people fired up.

A graphic saying that if you buy Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders in audiobook via Libro.fm, your purchase will directly benefit booksellers facing emergency financial, medical, and mental health service needs.

Booksellers are total heroes who keep us falling in love with reading. They are vitally important to our communities.

So I'm delighted that for the next 2 days sales of the audiobook of Lessons in Magic and Disaster via @libro.fm will benefit BINC, which helps booksellers in need 🥰

Oh wild. But, like, how much work does that actually take?

Yeah, same. "What's my job again?" "To search forn'mutual aid' on BlueSky and take care of what you find"

Honestly, this drives me fucking bananas. It would be so EASY for, like, 6 people to basically end poverty in American and they, like, don't.

Layers! Cause you're also going from heated inside to cold outside and need to adjust relatively quickly

I'm still waiting for some billionaire to figure out they could become a beloved folk hero just by taking a day or 3 and funding every single GoFundMe for rent relief and legal aid in Minnesota for a couple months.

$30 Million would go A LONG way, and they'd barely notice.

“If these fuckers think” has set a new bar for how politicians should begin their statements about these fuckers.

Meet it or get left behind.

WHITE MEN: If you've ever wanted an excuse to act like a Karen and feel good about it, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.

It's amazing how much power the most annoying person at the zoning board meeting can have

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.
