Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice

tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist

Disabled protesters shut down a republican congressional hearing today because said repubs are trying to LITERALLY decimate Medicaid.

They want to cut ~$88 *billion* from medicaid every year for 10 yrs for a total which, again— & this is important—*Essentially Equals The Entire Budget of Medicaid*.

Please read this thread. @torontocomics.bsky.social is a wonderful organization, they do amazing stuff, and unfortunately that puts them in a really difficult financial position.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this thread and share it, donate if you can, even just five bucks will help!

THANK YOU!
TCAF is proud to champion comics as a vital art form.

In this political climate, protecting the arts as a source of revolutionary self-expression has never been more important.​

But like many nonprofit arts orgs, TCAF is experiencing financial challenges.

Trump pulled Stefanik’s U.N. abassador nomination to protect her House seat because Democrats are surging, even in deep-red districts. Add in a flipped seat, Fox News hosts getting humiliated, and some surprise court wins, and you’ve got a Week In Wins worth reading.

If you have a voice, use it. especially those with 5k+ followers. Tumblr, twitter, instagram. this is about more than keeping families connected, people need to be aware of what's happening.

if you are in the arts industry in the capacity of a public figure, it's time to speak up.
Help the urgent need for families to reconnect by purchasing e-sims using this guide and receive thank you art from a co-op member.

Lots of people replying to this with "cool but the fascists don't care"

Yes but a lot of center left people have just blindly accepted the anti-science bs of the far right and they need to be shown that it's rubbish so they don't just sit there comfortably smiling when they see it

If you don't know about depersonalization in gender dysphoria, its life-destroying impacts, and why many trans people medically need HRT on an ongoing basis to treat it, then you quite literally have no idea what's at stake for us in this: genderanalysis.net/2017/09/in-o...

DO NOT MEMORY HOLE THE NAZI SALUTE!

Elon Musk did it not once but twice, and with vigor!

It’s been 3 weeks, and there’s been no accountability. Institutionalized Judaism has let him off the hook. It is up to us to remember, to never forget the ancestors who deserve better, and to make it stick.
