i would not be surprised if someone was just flat out slipping the funds in someone's account for the hell of it.

yeah im not stupid enough to think we can just go zero on all military, but yeah we literally could cut our spending in half and still have more than the other superpowers(possibly STILL combined)

we're reaching near a god damn trillion in defense spending. Its so fucking ridiculous.

i would rather my taxes go to the sciences and services than the fucking military to waste trillions on developing a next new jet that will probably never see combat before we get to the next generation of jets.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

A further shame that they seem to BE an artist and does look decent from the sketch, but for some reason they want to use AI too.

if you have to pay to leave a job, thats indentured servitude.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 18h

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Maybe it's because you can't stop yourselves from saying nazi shit, my dudes.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

#furry #furryart #pride #art

Shaded art commission for Archantael of their character in the same pose from the movie poster for "Aliens". She is holding a Blahaj and a flamethrower, but the flamethrower has a mini transgender pride flag sticking out of the front. The background consists of a faded trans flag coloration. There is text at the bottom of the piece that reads "PRIDE, This Time It's War"
