Reposting with alt text, because fuck the ADL
A screenshot of Jonathan Greenblatt posting to Twitter "The mayor-elect has campaigned on policies that could create a hostile environment for the Jewish community. He literally told us that he is going to pursue these policies. We are doubling down because we believe him." With a graphic reading "Press Release: ADL Launches initiative to Track and Monitor Mamdani Administration Policies and Appointments, Protect Jewish New Yorkers."

Truly the Democratic Party writ large
The “am I out of touch?” simpsons meme of Principal Skinner. The text reads “Is the democratic party out of touch? No, it’s the voters who are wrong.”

NO KINGS Chicago was great, and everything seemed to go off smoothly (other than some bottlenecks getting the crowds moving from the rally onto the street for the march)

Here are some pics I took, including the most Midwestern of things: a protestor combining corn and defending your neighbors.
A protest sign saying “My parents survived Dachau so I can tell you to…FUCK OFF!!!” A person in an inflatable corn costume holding a sign that says “the elote vendor isn’t a criminal but the president is!”

Not sure if you’re familiar with this webcomic pizzacakecomic.com @evanurquhart.bsky.social
A webcomic by Pizza Cake, of a four-panel comic showing a woman talking to herself. She says “someone called me and said you had a bad opinion online?” “I said a guy who promoted racism was a racist.” “Oh, ell, I agree with that! I’m giving you a raise!.” “Thanks, boss!”

I am the victim of a CRIME! I was on a zoom call when the culprit, one JONESY THE CAT, flagrantly jumped onto a shelf, in full view of all the video call participants, and KNOCKED A PLANT OFF THE SHELF!

As evidence, I submit this photo of the cat in question returning to the scene of the crime.

As always, Chicago is the best! Reposting with alt text.
Three photos of the same graffiti. In the first photo, Superman is punching an ICE agent. In the second photo, someone has covered superman with black paint. In the third photo, someone painted Krypto (Superman’s dog) peeing on the ICE agent.

Chicago is ready. I imagine these other cities are, too, you racist piece of shit.

(Reposting with alt text)
You look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is. We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem. And then you have, of course, Baltimore and Oakland. We're not going to let it happen. We're not going to lose our cities over this. And this will go further. We're starting very strongly with DC.

This isn’t to say Erin’s creators don’t have problems with the porn — particularly the gender issues it arouses. “When you’re in a board room designing a corporate mascot, gender is always a part of the conversation,” Brewe says. “And that conversation always goes, ‘Do we make the zebra a woman or a man? Let’s make it a man, because there won’t be as much porn of it.’”

I skipped a meeting today to go to this exhibit and am SO GLAD that I did! THE FIRST HOMOSEXUALS looks at how gay identity was depicted & explored in art between 1869 (when the term homosexual was created) and 1939 (when the Nazis burned all the Institute for Sexual Science papers and research)
A drawing of large-breasted women, one of which has a penis as long as her arm. There is also a penis with wings, flying away. The drawing is by Austin Osman Spare, from the series Psychopathia sexualis, 1913-23 A colorfully illustrated drawing of a musician being eaten out by a ballerina. By Gerda Wegener, an illustrator most popular in France in the 1910s and 20s

An interesting/depressing way to look at current US foreign policy, from @wired.com : enshittification

www.wired.com/story/enshit...
A screenshot of text: Ever since Trump retook office in January, in fact, rapid enshittification has become the organizing principle of US statecraft. This time around, Trumpworld understands that—in controlling the infrastructure layer of global finance, technology, and security—it has vast machineries of coercion at its disposal. As Mark Carney, the prime minister of Canada, recently put it, “The United States is beginning to monetize its hegemony.”

The rare use of this meme when someone is refusing to say something that is NOT actually bad or inflammatory, but—by refusing to repeat it—they are implying that it’s bad
The chasing goose meme with the text “what has he said about the Jewish people?”
