People who are looking for a way to fight Trump, I have it for you in one name: Kilmar Abrego-Garcia.
He's the poor guy who got pulled off the street, declared a gang member for no reason, then sent off to that hell-hole in El Salvador.
Fight for him because this case will unravel everything. 🧵

Dear ace people, you're valid and I know how difficult and unfair the world can be for you sometimes. You have allies who care.

New Penny Arcade for your Friday. I liked it as a kid but I'm rewatching Star Trek TNG now as an adult and the show is so much better than I remember.

Good thread here...
alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

It’s on all of us (to some extent)
“Likes” don’t really do anything here.
When you like someone’s post it just creates a notification TO THEM ONLY that you liked it.

Log back in and this place STILL hasn't dealt with the clear problem...
This should be grounds for account suspension. Jesse has explicitly white knighted for kiwi farms. These are exactly the kinds of people he associates with.
His presence on this site inherently makes it unsafe for trans people.

Let me clarify something for y'all:
You can refuse the inheritance of whiteness. You can create structures that mitigate the effect that it has, ESPECIALLY in a digital environment.
My point is that liberal frameworks don't even SEE the inheritance of whiteness as part of material conditions.

Had to share this cause it annoys me. DS9 faced tons of hate, including racism. Watch the What We Left Behind doc for proof. Avery Brooks fought racism behind the scenes & even had to defend Cirroc Lofton after a security guard harassed him near set. Don’t rewrite history. Only Sisko can do that.

Judith Butler giving out a lecture in today's Korea, and having to keep its time and place a secret due to threats from far-right groups, is monumental

H.R. 9495 (the bill that would give Trump unchecked power to go after his political opponents) has moved to the Senate after being passed by the House.
Since Democrats still control the Senate, the real risk is that the bill gets attached to another piece of must-pass legislation.

Word of advice to anyone on here who reads indie comics/webcomics: Please let the author know you're enjoying their work every now and then.
Once creators feel like it's pointless to continue, that's it. I know, I couldn't go back to my 1st series even if I wanted to now. My passion for it is dead

You may have seen this post circling talking about how important it is to tell creators when you appreciate what they do.
The irony is it's MY post from Tumblr stolen by someone else. Please reskeet THIS post & NOT the stolen one bc we support creators making their own work on bluesky.

This is badass.
AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.
"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

My current storytelling obsession is with stories that go beyond identifying what's wrong or taking down the villain...the end. But digging into *how* do we solve problems together.

Our culture is trapped in a reactive loop, exposing harmful narratives without moving forward. Left-wing YouTube reacts to right-wing content, while media, art, and activism define themselves in opposition. We critique the status quo but fail to propagandize bold, hopeful visions for change.

We need to stop centering around reactionary tantrums & lies. They sell junk food for the soul—cheap, easy - what people want to hear. We’re stuck selling "eat your veggies" in their sandbox. Let’s instead build, dream, and create stories that inspire—a feast beyond their empty promises.

Saw someone respond to a post about droid rights/bigotry in Star Wars saying they don't care about the rights of an LLM in a trash can. Wonder if LLMs passing as "Artificial Intelligence" might not just be making people anthropomorphize LLMs, but also priming some to dehumanize robots/AI generally.
