Our governor and our senators need to be here on the ground. Today. Minnesotans need to know you have our backs. We need to lock arms and say no to this lawless violence.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Very glad I was able to leave while the going was good
Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants.

Appeasers.
Cornell has reached an agreement with the federal government to restore our funding:

Anything you may choose to tell them will likely make it even harder for other trans people to find similar workarounds
heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

The people we are fighting are pathetic cowards and it's important to always remember that.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

For Prison Banned Books Week, I want to say: it is worse than maybe it ever has been regarding censorship in prisons. It is worse than five years ago. It is worse than 50 years ago.

without reservation, lean into the things that make you happy, even—and perhaps especially—if they are cringe-worthy or deemed embarrassing by others. you only get one life: you might as well spend it doing the things that bring you joy.

The government is rounding people up and putting them into camps and nobody is talking about it as political violence

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Last December, Senate Dems had no anti trans provisions in their NDAA and the house did. Many thought the Senate Dems would stop those provisions.

They didn’t. Last minute, 37 Dems voted for it.

We must take no chances with the appropriations fight.

My story from last December.
37 Democratic Senators Voted To Pass Anti-Trans NDAA. Here Are Their Names.
The vote came after most of the same Democrats refused to allow an amendment on the floor to remove the anti-trans provision in the military spending bill.

I've seen some reactions from struggling artists along the lines of 'I give up' and I feel your pain—but please do not.

Most people don't want to live in a world where artists are automated away, art production is captured by AI firms. Most people hate this idea.

Organize. Build solidarity. Fight.
Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
