Here's my bottom line:
Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.
We're once again partnering with WashMask Mutual Aid to bring free comics and graphic novels to children of WA state farm workers! For the month of March we are taking donations of new or gently read comics and graphic novels (suitable for the under 18 crowd). 🧵
There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

crime dog you gotta find some better wording for this
MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.
Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

It's really astonishing how useful this quote has become for The Way We Live Now
In the words of the legendary Max Bialystock, "You mean 'oops,' don't you? Just say 'oops' and get out!"
This new report detailing threats to cartoonists around the world in 2023-25 is great in its comprehensiveness, emboldening by telling the stories of the bravery of the cartoonists, and disturbing in how widespread and serious the threats are.

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

"missiles arent real," i assure myself as i close my eyes and pilot my ship into the strait of hormuz

/2 I still think it is astounding and a sign of the moral rot of institutions that the focus is on him being friendly with Epstein and not specifically on conspiring with Epstein, convicted sex offender, how to take advantage of a younger and less powerful colleague he calls a racial slur.
Really not looking forward to gritting my teeth through a bunch of “Larry Summers got caught up in a moral panic” bullshit pieces.
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
Republicans can’t be doing this when they’re walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they don’t want the Mad King to yell at them bsky.app/profile/tito...
If you view the Christian Church solely as a God-ordained vessel for European domination, acknowledging Christ as someone who came from and advocated for the marginalized is insane.
He’s not playing chess literally. He’s not playing chess figuratively. He’s not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
So a group of Americans with #Italian ancestry are playing on a baseball team together that just beat...wait for it...Team USA.
This is a direct and especially awesome contradiction to the MAGA doctrine that immigrants make America worse.
Brava tutti! Forza #Italia!

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty
