Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

A screenshot from the Wikipedia article for The Insider (1997).

It reads, "Entertainment Weekly gave the film a 'B' rating, and felt that it was 'a good but not great movie because it presents truth telling in America as far more imperiled than it is'. [17]"

idk if you've watched The Insider but I watched it recently and then looked it up on Wikipedia, and the IRL journalist played by Al Pacino said that the main difference between it and ATPM is that in All the President's Men the journalists are the good guys

Michigan friends, Michigan citizens, please fight this. For yourselves, and so it doesn't become a model for the rest of the states.

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.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

That's very kind of you! But until this week the worst problem it's caused me is with bars that only post their menus etc. on Instagram 🙄

organizing (anything whatsoever) on meta accounts sure is convenient, except when it's not

Cyndi B @spintheiryarns.bsky.social · 1d

Don't know about other people, but I nuked my Meta accounts from orbit about a year ago and now I can't make a new one. I tried today! Specifically for more info on Protect RP! And my new account was "suspended for review" as soon as I clicked the signup button, and then permanently disabled.

Anyway thank you @landbeforetim.bsky.social for posting the form link directly.

Info on either site is genuinely inaccessible to me, is my point. It's not just about clinging to principle at the expense of practical need.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
