Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

@rhiannon87.bsky.social and i have been playing through the Phoenix Wright games and I'm sure it's been said a thousand times but there is truly no heterosexual explanation for the way Wright and Edgeworth regard each other.

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

These people are sadists

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

if there was ever an auspicious sign on a major election day cheney going to his rightful place in hell has gotta be fuckin' up there

I've said it before and I'll say it again now: Live your life in such a way that millions of people do not rightfully have reason to cheer your death.

Sometimes I imagine how much more pleasant my life would be if I could exist without being impacted by the apparently endless grievances of old men who contribute nothing positive to society

think about what we could do with the money spent on REPEAT OFFENDERS alone

Chicago taxpayers paid $295 million between 2019 and 2024 to resolve lawsuits naming officers whose alleged misconduct led more than once to payouts, according to an analysis of city data by WTTW News. https://to.wttw.com/4gFWRRW

So, on Tuesday I was diagnosed with Lumbar and Thoracic Spondylosis. So I am doing six weeks of physical therapy to help. This also means I am taking medical leave from my job. I set up a ko-fi goal to help bridge the gap while I fight for short term disability. ko-fi.com/aubreyvakari...

The above thread is from over a year ago and the key difference between that event and this one is that now the fascists are in power again so they're gonna make the fallout from their internecine battles literally everybody's problem.

All kinds of good news today!

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink! Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back. https://f.mtr.cool/afllseseeb

There's an important lesson to be learned here. If you are a stupid piece of shit who dedicates their life to making the world worse people will recreate the ewoks celebration when you die so don't be a giant asshole

My completely unpleasant take is that you cannot make a career of inciting others to violence and normalizing using politics as a motive for violence and expect a good outcome. There has been a decade of sewing. And the reaping is of a bitter bloody harvest. My condolences to the children.

the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.

News: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the reconciliation bill to bring back the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care The Senate removed it this morning and the parliamentarian disqualified the provision from reconciliation amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/G...

I think if we take away anything from the trans medicare coverage ban being taken out of the bill it's that pressure works. As stupid and futile as "call your reps!" can feel, we saw a direct result of it. Now you have to call and email your House reps saying you need the ICE funding gone.

I’m frustrated for many reasons at surface-skimming media history takes on AI like “people opposed the printing press too!” If media history is going to help us navigate the present, we have to reckon with something people often omit from those comparisons—the intersection of power & new media (1/4)

Senate Republicans just voted to pass the largest slashes to your health care and kids' nutrition assistance in our nation's history. They're gambling with your lives to pay for tax cuts for their wealthiest friends. The fight isn't over: call your reps at (202) 224-3121.

if you need a few wins to keep your morale up: gender-affirming care ban: OUT state AI regulation ban: OUT excise tax on renewable energy projects: OUT as bad as this is, giving up is not an option

📢 GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO VOTE FOR AND THEY WILL 📢

as the month closes out this GAY MAGPIE wishes all you queers a happy pride once again!!!

THAT'S MY GOVERNOR DAMMIT

Pritzker!! The reckoning is here

So many Dem leaders (and voters) would rather crater into autocracy than operate with the beliefs: 1. Your enemies are bad 2. They do objectively bad things on purpose 3. Either they win or you stop them

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · last yr.

dems are still operating on a paradigm where politicians on both sides are assumed to be working to make their states and constituents richer. today's republicans are trying to make everyone poorer because their ideology is to crush the labor market as part of The Plot to Enslave America.
