One of the most brazen lies in American politics told by MAGA and Christian Nationalists is that we were "founded as a Christian nation." The founders themselves left a clear record demolishing this narrative. Alongside @americansunited.bsky.social, I bring the receipts.

Do you have a problem with us calling out rapists? Interesting wonder what you’ve done in your life….

“Congress should authorize per-day, per-record penalties for agencies that fail to substantively respond to FOIA requests.” trib.al/s1lbvky

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Ah well, nevertheless..

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

Hey you. Yes, you. Your worth is not measured by your ability to generate wealth for shareholders. You have the right to exist and be happy.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

I don’t know, maybe we should watch this happen to another 500 female led movies to be sure.

"If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing."

Bizarre story: Two journalists were removed by police from a corporate-sponsored Freedom 250 event in Brussels after they asked US Ambassador to Belgium Bill White about his threat against an American citizen/Belgian resident who had emailed Zac Brown Band urging them not to perform at the event.

Trans rights are human rights. If we cannot protect the rights of the most vulnerable population of society, not a single one of us has rights.

Dissent of Thomas & Gorsuch re: 14th Amendment applies to the enslaved because ”they had no other homeland… and were subject to no other authority… the same could not be said for the children of foreign temporary visitors. Foreign temporary visitors were attached to their home country.” (1/2)

If the Supreme Court can reverse a 95 year-old ruling for a country that is only 250 years old, I need you to UNDERSTAND this country still has no idea what it is or what it stands for other than it’s constant push-and-pull to oppress Black people and eliminate Native people.

Happy Anniversary to Jim Henson’s beloved “Labyrinth”! Back in 2016 (for the 30th anniversary of the film), we visited the Center of Puppetry Arts which had a fantastic exhibition of puppets, props and costumes. Let’s dance magic, dance for baby Toby, Sarah and the Goblin King!🫧

Here, we have a president who, by his own account, personally called a federal prosecutor to intervene in an ongoing election — and the story has barely registered. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

not gay as in happy queer as in collective liberation for everyone means pushing beyond a world where interconnected oppressive systems have their hooks in anybody and solidarity is the only way home and also, sometimes, fuck you

Stop supporting politicians who support Israel

MTG DISCORD PSA: I've NOT been hacked BUT many in the MTG space are getting odd links from trusted accounts asking them to "jump on a call" to talk about a project they're working on with friends. If any of my accounts DM you like that: it is a SCAM! NO ONE wants to work on ANYTHING with me!

And this needs to be applied to ANYONE who supports these predators, not just Trump. So many of us are survivors.

NEW: Paigelynne Gonyea, the New York poll worker who ICE agents recently confronted, tells Democracy Docket that she’s exploring her legal options. "This is me standing on business and defending our constitutional right of free speech," said Gonyea. "This is bigger than me."

I truly wonder how much race had to do with my rape case. Brown woman vs the ugly white guy who apparently had his mommy and daddy’s money to help him fight the brown woman. They also were MAGA. So they must think they can commit hate crimes & get away with it.

This is why the anti-socialist bent from centrists is dangerous. They will absolutely align on crushing the left via force to preserve capitalism because at its heart this is a class war. We must learn from history and outmaneuver them

A bunch of gay bars in San Francisco just started using facial recongition surveillance on customers. Madison Square Garden was just caught keeping "dossiers" on facial recognition activists ... including me Now is a great time to ask your fave artists to sign this banfacialrecognition.com/venues
