Not for nothin' but if your partner is employed by ICE and they give you a nice watch or a piece of jewelry, I'd demand to see proof of *purchase*.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

BUT WHAT ABOUT FRAUD MY dear gentle motherfuckers, I spent SIX MONTHS trying to cancel my Medicaid including leaving my caseworker several messages with name, ID number and last 4 of SSN and they STILL didn't turn it off until they couldn't renew it BECAUSE I'VE BEEN ON MY COMPANY'S
If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

This is poetry.
Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

Repeating my helpful little mnemonic song from Twitter:
If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏
If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏
If you can't get there without him
And you don't know much about him
If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏
If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏
If he'll drive you to the criming, he's a Fed 👏👏
If you can't get there without him
And you don't know much about him

after another long day of browsing old court documents, i just want to remind everyone that if a stranger agrees to do something illegal with you and they keep asking you to say out loud what the illegal plan is, that’s because the officer is recording you.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Block, and move on.
This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I learned about Herriman just a few years ago. What a remarkable man.
Krazy Kat's been a favorite since I've made memories.

George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics.
And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK.
He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

OMG - the judge in Florida just sua sponte struck the complaint in the Trump v NYT case for -wait for it - violating Rule 8.
Lawyers, tell the folks at home how hard it is to get the complaint struck outright for something like that in fed eral court.
