The purpose of mainstream Western news apparatus is NOT to teach you how to build democracy. It's to teach powerless and dependence on the ruling class. The liberal doomscrolls, then votes nationally, and writes their senators, yet this takes no power whatsoever from their enemy.

Just down the street from where #furryweekend was held.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

You can't make furry conventions safety until you understand these basics about The Law and the flexibility of the label "violence".

I cannot stress this enough! What got me through the first trump admin was participating in direct action. It was liberating. And dont feel you have to put yourself in danger, just go and add your voice to the chorus. We survive this through solidarity and mutual aid.

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember: • do not announce you're attending online • do not sign any online RSVP • wear a mask • wear clothes that don't draw attention • leave your phone at home • bring bottled water • do not speak to cops • do not post photos after

When I switched to mostly plant-based 10 years ago, it saved me money, improved my cooking, and it made me feel more connected to nonhuman life and larger + older cultures than my own. In my case, it was a comfort + entitlement that normalized my meat eating. Glad I grew beyond that.

Police are joining together, as they always have, to protect the wealthy and harm unarmed people organizing for their own survival. -Don't talk to cops. -Demand furry cons ban copaganda.

I'm sure a lot of the resistance is "what if I get it wrong?" If you're doing your best to learn and act, and that informs the art, it's basically the opposite of having Twitter Brain: "What if I got it wrong" becomes "Here's what my real best looks like right now".

I've been drawing over 30 years now, and used to relate to this struggle. I learned that the more skin I have in current events, the more motivation/inspiration I have to do art about it. Act. Show up offline (if you can, you must), then let what you feel with your own skin be your inspiration.

WIP I've been waiting to work on since last year, a collab I started w @jonathanvair.bsky.social about my relationship to disability and the body shortly before he became disabled from long covid. I finally have some time to do art again so hoping to work on it again soon!

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

it’s so much worse now than it was when I drew this in 2018 fuck ICE, fuck the white nationalist agenda victory to the rebels, love you LA

In a massive show of cowardice Ice is now putting out video “demanding” Americans be nice to the Gestapo doing terrorism against them or else. You know what that means America. Time to turn up the volume and show these Nazi cowards what we really think of them and their fascist terror.

Still without electricity :D hopefully it will be solved next week, apologies for all the delays and me boosting the kofi so much, I've had to dig into whatever I had saved this month so far to get food (my freezer is unusable atm) and well, yeah, any help is deeply appreciated, and sorry again
