These #APPALACHIAN #ANTIFASCIST shirts are currently available for pre-order! I designed them! Felt under-represented as a mountain-dweller that is disgusted and ashamed of what's happening to our democracy under this criminal regime. Made it for the like-minded.

Somehow, against all possible odds, Adobe Acrobat has somehow, some way, gotten even SHITTIER at accessibility.

Not only does correcting reading order break the living fuck out of your documents, you can no longer right click to "arrange" the objects that it has shit-piled into the wrong layers.

Why aren't we prosecuting every single person named in the Epstein + Trump files for conspiracy/human trafficking/child abuse?

Doesn't this constitute organized crime? Can't we drop a rico charge on these rich fucking scum?

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?!?!?!

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign.

He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

Finished the incredible Banner Saga over the weekend. It's a wild mix of pseudo-norse fantasy, visual novel, choose your own adventure, and real time strategy. The story-telling is so damn good.

Choices MATTER, like a sonofabitch. Choose to feed a random horse? Main character DIES.

Loved it.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later.

Wonder why that is.

Really warms my heart to see comic book artists (my actual heroes in most cases) putting pen to paper to illustrate just how much they are disgusted by, and detest ICE.

When you grow up reading and drawing comics, good vs. bad isn't hard to understand. The good guys don't murder and kidnap people.

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.

At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.

This article includes names of the agents.

Things I've learned from my reddit post:
www.reddit.com/r/WestVirgin...

1. Antifascists IS the fascists!

2. WV has ALWAYS been a red state.

3. Right wing leaning people have just recently learned what "larping" is, but aren't quite sure how it works.

4. 3 week old accounts hate this.

There you have it.

ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.

It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.
