Another Friday in Trumplandia
Black type on White background: Hitler's Basic Principles • Avoid abstract ideas - appeal to the emotions. • Constantly repeat just a few ideas. Use stereotyped phrases. • Give only one side of the argument. • Continuously criticize your opponents. • Pick out one special "enemy" for special vilification. *These principles are abstracted from Jowett & O'Donnell.

Meme - black text on white background “The U.S. is not a 'Christian Nation' just because there are a lot of Christians living here. There are a lot of assholes living here too, but we are not called the 'Asshole Nation'.”

Statement
Microsoft should not remain silent as their intellectual property is co-opted to spread hate. Microsoft SHOULD threaten legal action over this use of their IP, at the very least issuing takedown notices. BUT THEY WONT.
XBOX GAME PASS BOYCOTT Summary: • White House is using Microsoft gaming IP to promote ICE and thinly-veiled hateful rhetoric • Microsoft is financially motivated rather than ideologically aligned with Trump, making it vulnerable to a boycott • Microsoft's Game Pass subscription service presents an easy target for immediate action WHY: Microsoft is Silent on ICE's Hateful Use of Their IP Recently (on October 27th and 28th), the official White House twitter account has shared Al-generated imagery drawn from Microsoft's Halo video game series to promote ICE and to depict the president as a heroic figure. The ICE image is particularly disturbing, as it suggests undocumented immigrants are similar to the "Flood," which in the world of Halo are an evil horde of alien zombies meant to be mowed down by the players, using weaponry such as the machine gun depicted in the image. Halo is a major Microsoft property, and while some of the original creators of the series have called the image abhorrent, Microsoft itself has so far declined to make any kind of comment or denunciation of this usage. This is in contrast to other creatives and artists who have had their work co-oped for this type of propaganda and requested that it be taken down.

Really sums up DJT & his cohorts
Photo of Donald Trump with text by Oliver Kornetzke August 18, 2025 Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been— arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul— it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

SEATTLE VOTERS -reminder of the importance of voting in this election. Let's get some accountability for SPD, (also have them do their jobs!), and stop the inhumane sweeps. There is a better way, other cities have done it. #VOTEKATIEWILSON
Cartoon of Bruce Harrell & Seattle Police leadership announcing $171 million in pay raises, $50K hiring bonuses and $2.3million for recruitment ads - all for SPD. Hired 84 new officers, and 83 officers left. Asking for more money.

Good tips from Indivisible:
Here are a few ways you can get involved right now. 1. Donate to your local food bank. Support your local food bank or mutual aid network with a financial gift to help feed families directly impacted by the shutdown. 2. Collect and distribute to your local community shelter. Donate food, clothing, menstrual products, and any other essential supplies to existing local food banks or shelters. 3. Check with your local organizations first to see what they need most. Host a give-back drive in your community. Visit NoKings.org/ alliance to learn more and start a food/supply drive.

Saw this on IG and it is truer than most of us realize!
Black type on white background: Most of us are three bad months away from being homeless. None of us are three good months away from being billionaires. You should know which side to be on.
