If there’s one thing I’d ask conservatives to finally recognize as true in this world, it’s this.
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I love seeing virtually everyone coming to the defense of Bill Watterson’s right as creator of Calvin & Hobbes to tell the world “leave me & my art alone. I don’t care how much money it could make me whoring it out as ‘IP’ for some conglomerate to regurgitate.”
this is the most "Get a Job, Stay Away From Her" I've ever felt

One cartoon perfectly sums up both the thrust and the hypocrisy of the last 50 years of Republican Party’s ideology.

Pay attention, folks; this is how totalitarianism happens.
Don’t just laugh off his idiocy, it’s real but it’s also being deployed strategically. Trump knows how to weaponize his own stupidity & hate to advance his evil goals. Don’t look away, keep speaking out everywhere you can!

Trump’s post is a perfect example of his autocrat playbook: when accountability gets close, he changes the subject, attacks everyone involved, and tries to rewrite the record. Notice the pattern. Every investigative outlet that contradicts him becomes “fake,” “hating,” or “owes him an apology.”

Surveillance state about to get worse
When "cheap indulgences" become unaffordable luxuries, you know things are broken. America needs a hard reboot.
Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Ignoring all of this if you’re an American citizen is a dereliction of your duty as a citizen in a free society.
Don’t look away. Don’t make excuses. This is tyranny on the march.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Very sad to learn the amazing illustration artist Drew Syrian has passed. It also makes me very angry that people like him & Diane Keaton pass away, while other older “people” who are causing immense damage to our society just keep on living….
RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.
His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.
A massive loss 💔

Free speech and nonviolent protest are sacrosanct.
And anyone claiming that what the American people are doing to object to these assaults on our inalienable rights is somehow “treasonous” is a liar.
Get out there this Saturday, everyone. Don’t lay back and let Trump rape America any longer!

@segfaultvicta.aludel.xyz Howdy!Just curious; why are you blocking me after I made a comment knocking Gavin Newsom?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t you just complaining about him as well? Didn’t even have the courtesy to reply to whatever I posted that apparently offended you.

*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?"
Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech

To my mind, this is the message people need to hear and focus on, not all of this culture war garbage.
Right, left, or center: remedying the intentional sabotage of workers’ earnings and wealth inequality will solve innumerable problems in our country and culture!

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?
