New #crowdfund for #embroidered #patches. These designs have lived as posters for years and were recently converted to enamel pins. Now they're making the leap to patches. Back the campaign and if we hit our goals, we'll add four more designs to the set. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week.

Everyone ready?

Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

Palestinians have been subject to genocide. It's not just about "Gaza", it's about an entire culture and people being systematically eradicated- by a hostile government that should *know better*.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

Anyone who wants to run for federal office should be required to take a proctored, televised CLEP and AP level US Government testing, and pass both with 85% minimum.

As a voter, I want open borders, no restrictions on permanent residency, and a fast-track to citizenship for whomever wants it.

It’s crazy how Keynes was right about basically everything and we’re still holding our dicks in our hands almost a century later because we let Reaganism/Thatcherism win

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I don’t have a lot of time so quick thread on exactly WHY what I posted about today is so bad. TLDR: it’s like the most convoluted fucked up incestuous polycule I’ve ever heard of. 🥴🥴🥴

First who is everybody? Scott Bessent is the Secretary of the Treasury so cabinet member from hedge fund land.

Saw some post somewhere earlier about people “not getting” transness or whatever

You don’t have to get it.

If you believe in bodily autonomy for all, then no one needs you to understand their personal situation to earn being seen as a person by you.

You just treat every human being as a person.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

“Republicans prosecute doctors for providing healthcare. They usually lose in court. But doctors stop providing care anyway. That’s the point.”

Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It.

Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
