Didn't vote for him, wouldn't vote for him, couldn't vote for him. Voted against him in the primary and left his race blank in the general. Never wanted him, don't need him.

Every undocumented person belongs in East L.A. more than Kristi Noem ever will

Issue #10 of ABSOLUTE BATMAN has its Final Order Cut-Off MONDAY! With #9 about to officially be sold out, it's even more important to pre-order this one! It's by far the most BRUTAL Batman issue I've EVER written. Don't miss @nickdragotta.bsky.social and Frank Martin's incredible work!!

There are no ways to not let this become the story. The media & the moneyed-yet-mediocre who are in bed with fascists will not stop calling any space that does not welcome fascists an echo chamber until they do. It is a rhetorical trap designed convince people to welcome foxes into the hen house.

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

had someone come in to a museum today and ask chatGPT how much it cost to enter and chatGPT gave an imaginary number and the person asked "are you sure it isn't free" and chatGPT went "I am sorry. Yes, entry to this museum is free" and then the person showed me that and demanded free entry

Trump's immigration approval has fallen 6 points on net this week www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

Impeach Noem right now. I don’t care if it fails. The refusal to act now is lost forever. It’s on the house to act, and any one of them can do it.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

THIS A UNITED STATES SENATOR ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA BEING PHYSICALLY SHOVED OUT OF A MEETING ABOUT WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO THE BIGGEST CITY IN OUR STATE.

UNPOPULAR OPINION OF SOMEONE WHO LEFT NYC A DECADE AGO BUT WHO STILL CARES FOR SOME REASON: I don’t see much evidence that Mamdani would actually flourish or succeed as mayor, but I’d still rather see someone screw up in a NEW way than elect the same old right-leaning bullshit

I am convinced that everyone is running "BlueSky Sucks" articles partly because it's one of the only social media platforms that generates traffic and they know we'll all yell about it all day

'"We're all under pressure to churn out endless non-stories just to satiate the editors' unhinged bugbears," says one weary Telegraph hack' Honestly why are you even there? It's been reduced to a far-right propaganda rag. It's editors are psychopaths. Become a press officer or something. Leave.

wow that's crazy. and with all this salient immigration discourse too. wow

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

I have three-starred four of the eight 150cc Grand Prix cups in MARIO KART WORLD and will certainly finish the set soon, but whenever I think about trying to three-star the Knockout Tours at 150, I break out in hives

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Losing Sly Stone and Brian Wilson back to back really is wild, isn’t it

oh wow

We feed you. They hunt us.

Hi, pardon me, hello: mass protest in the face of fascism is a great idea and in fact the only thing that works to actually combat it. anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. sorry, i cannot anymore with this shit. do the fucking reading!

Still bangs.

"who was president in 2020" remains the most difficult question in the world for a sizable chunk of americans, professional commentators included

My most unhinged Mario opinion is that all Toads and Toadettes were once normal humans who got infected with the Toad fungus, and their short stature is because their bodies are starved of nutrients while the mycelium construct their intricate caps to disseminate more spores

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

bc the whims of the powerful can be unpredictable and unlimited in an authoritarian state, there is a saying among state bureaucrats and other professionals in myanmar which translates roughly as: “don’t do anything, don’t get involved, and you won’t get sacked” my.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%80%...

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

“Thank you for the party, I could never stay” - RIP Sly Stone, one of the greatest to ever do it youtu.be/wj5VODa-eTY?...

Popped into Dragon’s Lair comics in Mililani, O’ahu and signed all their ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN. Go grab them while they last. But sorry, if you were looking for back issues of ARAK and ARION, those came home with me.

Her name is Rosie: "A lot of vendors are undocumented and can't be here today. So those of us who can, we gotta show up"

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

I burst out laughing the second this vehicle’s name revealed itself

It's a time-honored tradition to steal Mugler (F/W 1998)

Honestly I think if this place was actually irrelevant we wouldn’t have to deal with the same freaking editorial every week for an entire year and a half
