This! Take breaks, but don't give up or give in to normalizing this shit.
Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Sitting on hold waiting for a customer support agent always reminds me of The Office when Jim & Dwight made a sale by calling Dunder Mifflin and Kelly answering the phone immediately after the competitor had them on hold forever. That pitch would 100% work on me

So I guess I've gone and drawn a political comic!
I didn't like the discussion happening around the recent protest so I wrote a minicomic about it.
There might be more. I have ideas for more.

Accessibility is often taken for granted.
We're good at spotting barriers that we had to overcome. We don't always notice the places where a barrier was removed or lowered to make our path easier.

The FTC One-Click Cancel rule goes into effect in July! I cancelled a subscription yesterday that required a 30-word explanation for why I was cancelling.
I used the form to tell them that their cancellation flow risks violating federal law 😁
Thank you Lina Khan! (former FTC chair)

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

If you haven’t started converting images to AVIF on your website, you’re missing out!
The compression is SO much better than JPG & WebP. Plus it supports animation!! I replaced a 400kb GIF with a 28kb AVIF 🥳

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Trump ate shit on one of the very first things he tried (the Gaetz nomination) before he even took office again
he will do enormous damage but he is not invincible and the more friction we can put in his way the less he will do
it is what it is now, fighting back is the only viable option

Yeah. I am very much on the verge of just blocking people who say "meh, the rule of law no longer matters" or "they're just going to do what they want" etc.
They can try, but accepting it as given, means giving up.
Stop trying to make everyone give up fighting for basic rights.
