I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵
I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.
We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Hey @khanna.house.gov maybe you should try saying something like this, if you want my vote next year.
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

HAPPENING NOW: Hello from Greenbelt, MD, where a federal judge will hear arguments over whether the Trump administration can invoke the state secrets privilege to withhold information about what it has done to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return to the US.

Hey, given how tariffs are destroying the global economy, don't they seem kind of like a Major Question, that can't be delegated to the administrative branch?

ok but this campaign launch from @katmabu.bsky.social ?!
THIS is how you announce you’re running for office in 2025.
refreshingly honest, clear-eyed, deeply values-driven — and actually exciting in a way politics rarely is anymore.
(unsurprisingly) so, so good.

this entire article is an argument for dems to refuse to lift a single fucking finger to help republicans pass a dirty CR. if congressional republicans can go straight to musk to get relief for their districts but congressional democrats can't, then there's absolutely no reason to help, at all.
Over texts and ‘eyeball to eyeball,’ Republicans succeed in persuading Musk. But Democrats hit dead ends | CNN Politics

Normalize saying “I need to think about that.”
I want to write about something very stupid that happened to me yesterday. I don’t want to do it in a self-serving way but I do think it illustrates a good point. As the pardon news broke I was asked a question about it and I didn’t have a clear answer so I just said I had to think about it.
