Picked up this wonderfully designed character Ka’estraxx by @cardinalgray.bsky.social , an Ukrainian artist who could really use some help. Check out what they have available! Ka’estraxx has already fired my imagination, so many fun ideas.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Livy says patricians tried to arrest or seize plebeians during the Struggle of the Orders but the plebs protected each other & fought off debt collectors & senators. This new Struggle of the Orders is upon us & we’re similarly seeing protection of neighbors. History can point to tactics for humanity

The game feels punishing and way too hard, and then it feels like no one's watching, and then she hits Bilewater, rinse and repeat

ICE must be dismantled. No amount of money can reform an agency so fundamentally broken. If elected, I want you to know that I will work every day, in whatever way I can, to prosecute these agents for the crimes they have committed.

like, one of yeas is retiring, one was pardoned by trump, one represents a district who comes damned close to electing an actual no-shit nazi every two years, another's likely losing his seat to redistricting, these are not people upon whom you have leverage to use, unfortunately
i am all for voting every yes vote out of office but house republicans had it sewn up either way
Let me explain the math since it isn’t obvious to people who don’t work here.
The total number of R votes on the DHS bill was 214. The total number of Rs on the war powers res when it goes down will be 217. They had more members coming, even if all Dems voted against the DHS bill it would’ve passed

We can point to rights violations of US citizens & immigrants legally here as being awful, but it doesn't matter when those not legally in the US are treated as less than human. It's a bare minimum and magas can't even do that. They actually want to terrorize immigrants, regardless of legal status.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

We are all deeply reliant on US tech for cloud (hosting + infra). Canada at least has a separate debit network. Europe is like a big mess of local networks

Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

NEVER ASSUME AMERICANS WILL READ FOR FUCKS SAKE!
Mueller admitted, more or less privately, that he assumed people would read his report and based on what it said, be like, "there is a lot of smoke, but we never found the gun or the body because of ALL THE OBSTRUCTION. YOU KNOW, THE CRIMES. BAD ONES."
we give garland a lot flak, and rightfully so, but looking jack smith's opening statement, i think we're all way too kind letting robert mueller slink back into the shadows
