american oligarchs uniformly abandoned a lifetime of democratic support because it was easier for them to believe that “based meme” accounts run by czechoslovakian teens were proof of a mass populist movement in service to elon musk than face the hard truth that most people hate their fucking guts
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.
Top MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Actors
A new feature on Elon Musk’s X has given deeper insight into the online “America First” movement.

Definitely. The article doesn’t really go into what they mean by radical feminism but it’s the specifically ecofascist TERF kind practiced by the likes of Mary Lou Singleton & Lierre Kieth. bsky.app/profile/did:...
Some of the alt-health grifter TERFs I used to track, like Mary Lou Singleton & Isabella Malbin, used to have ties to the Free Birth Society but even they're denouncing it now while still pushing their own version of "natural/wild birth". Lierre Keith also did an interview on FBS podcast.

This is worth highlighting, though is complicated by the fact that Disney was considering scuttling their animation unit in at the time and the transition to Xerox machine tracewas viewed as economic necessity. Disney himself, initially optimistic about the technology actually disliked the effect.
the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

The multi-millionaire deputy leader of Reform wants to raid the pensions of firefighters and other workers.
Scrapping defined benefit pensions would be an attack on all workers. The FBU will resist any attempt to cut the pensions that firefighters have already paid into.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, California mourns and honors all the trans and gender non-conforming people taken from us by violence and discrimination.
In California, hate is never tolerated. We will always defend the freedom, equality, and dignity of all people.

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Please understand that "reward people for being healthy", in health insurance, also translates to "punish people for being disabled."
The people who are most vulnerable, most in need, will be asked to bear higher costs, in many cases, pricing them out of accessing health care, into early graves.

Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

The Salvation Army offered us "a hot meal" which was just a smoked sausage soaked in cheap barbecue sauce with a stale slice of white bread we had to say how thankful we were while getting preached at.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
