It's infuriating beyond reason seeing so many people that are otherwise anti-fascist or leftist be extremely puritanical towards anything remotely NSFW.
Labeling everyone with even a little bit of a libido a degenerate gooner 100% helps fascist censorship.

Oh boy, I sure don’t think the “VRChat is full of predators” discourse is a horse beaten into bits and I definitely don’t think it’ll veer into advocating for authoritarian responses, a culture of constantly IDing anons in VRChat, and punishing non-predator adults for befriending minors at all.

*Every chainsmoking pro-animator decades ago*: I gotta make these animals more fuckable. If people don't want to dick down this dog after seeing them onscreen I'm going to kill myself.

Today (Nov 15) I reached 4 years sober from a really bad drug addiction. 🩷 that photo of me is from mid-2017, I’m on the left. Those were such hard days… I had to beg on the streets of San Francisco for food. When you see me now, always remember that 16 year old kid who now never goes hungry. <3

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Either way, so many Dems... the bulk of the Senate caucus, House leadership, governors, etc.,... all quickly throwing down the gauntlet with such open unrestrained attacks on any Dems who cave is new. It wasn't like that in March, not nearly as loud and widespread and immediate, much more base-only.

We'll see, but the degree of immediate blowback, and how many other Dems immediately jumped onboard trashing it loudly, makes me think this might end up a failed attempt to cave. Overestimated their ability to hold enough Dem votes.
Thing about being spineless is you can be pushed either way.

Chicagoans never stop. I was just watching a live stream of a press conference held by community members in front of FBI headquarters. In the rain in the dark. Umbrellas at hand they are calling for the release of 6 people taken by ICE, 3 also arrested by CPD. They never stop fighting.

Meanwhile, I go to IRL community meetings every two weeks an 8 minute walk from me, do local activism - & everyone’s #1 issue we want to address is the rampant poverty/crumbling infrastructure/lack of social services for those in need around us. LMFAO. Reddit is completely out of touch with reality.

Reddit in general is just astroturfing cancer. I posted to r/BayArea about something we have called Ebony Alert, for missing Black youth in the area. Everyone was ragging about it being “California performative anti-racism” and I was just like, “Well, I mean I live in East Oakland so I get it”

Some screenshots from itp_chicago IG. You can see how federal agents stake their presence around some of these communities in intersections in the middle of traffic and sidewalks in front of businesses. This feels very particular to the SW Side with Little Village being a prime target for this.
