As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Did you know? @bookshop.org is having an Anti-Prime Day sale wherein you can get free shipping for two days?

Did you know "Magica Riot" is available in print via @bookshop.org? And that you can support a local bookstore when buying?

Did you know I'd appreciate your purchase a bunch?

The best time to boycott Xbox and Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now. Focused, targeted boycotts work, this one is working, and all you got to do to support it is go play other games. Literally the least you could do in this moment in history

BDS movement @bdsmovement.bsky.social · 17d

But this win means our collective pressure is working. Palestinians call for increased global BDS and shareholder pressure until Microsoft adheres to international law and ends all complicity in Israel’s atrocity crimes.

It is the stated policy of Magica Riot that Nazis deserve to be punched, so please enjoy one of my trans magical girls, Riot Blue (aka Nova) punching a sad, pathetic Nazi.

Thanks to @beedokfern.bsky.social for this delightful work!

His post is nuts. Trump talks about “Antifa” like it’s Al Qaeda. It’s not. It’s an ideology. You can’t arrest punk rock. You can’t declare war on an adjective.

That’s the con. Call protest “terrorism,” send in troops, then claim the country’s out of control.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Real leadership is the opposite of thuggery.

The so-called “strongmen” of the current era — Putin, Trump, and Netanyahu — are not leaders.

They can manipulate public opinion and sustain their bases of power, but they have no moral authority.

The US "Antifa" movement is PURPOSEFULLY decentralized and NOT A MOVEMENT. Antifa is an idea that coalesces in protest and resistance and then fucks off into the ether until needed later. It's ephemeral. It's unplanned. And importantly it's not organized.

They want to punish the act of resistance.

sign up for a free library card at your local library, and you can also access huge amounts of books/graphic novels/magazines on your phone/mobile devices via the Libby app - you can return digital copies without worrying about getting your ass back to the library to drop-off books.

wobblerocket 🎲🎮 @wobblerocket.com · 24d

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Canada's C-2 bill is both a gross overreach of govt surveillance into citizen's privacy, as well as extremely anti-immigrant/racist!

📌Here's the truth:

Trump is a hardcore racist, and Kirk was one, too. I could fill 114 posts using only their racist words to buttress this fact.

Labeling Kirk's death as some “political assassination” instead of yet another preventable gun death among tens of thousands in this country is ABSURD.

THE ASSASSINATION OF TRUTH

How our corporate media has failed us yet again reporting on Trump and Kirk ...
