The fascist billionaire Republicans want you to believe resistance is useless. They want you to think nothing can change. But Kilmar’s freedom is proof that awareness matters, solidarity matters, and fighting back works.
Kilmar Freed!
Rejoice!

@manmademoon.bsky.social Hi Duncan we spoke on Twitter when Madi was published as my son is a big fan. He draws and at the time you asked if he’d show you some of his work. He was too shy. Today he asked if I was in contact as he has just got a 1st class degree in Game Art at Sheffield. Any chance?

In 1964-65 humans created Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, and Head Start. If you want to 'make America great again,' maybe revisit the era when you actually acted like you cared.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

America has 815 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.7 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $3.7 trillion in wealth.
When 815 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.
