New portrait: Keith David! Iconic voice who shows up in many things I love from Mass Effect to Adventure Time

Is there more going on here than Karen Bass arbitrarily finding someone to shift the blame onto? I remember thinking the fire chief had done a good job despite the anti-DEI homophobic smears she had to face www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

The only reason the GOP is ‘panicking privately’ is because their constituents are yelling publicly. Otherwise they wouldn’t care. That means our organizing, our phone calls, our rallies, and our protests are working. Don’t let up on these cowards for one second. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

......... I just.........

what is the deal with therapy sessions that start light, then your brain suckerpunches you with an unresolved trauma when there are ~10 min left girl why now, we simply do not have the time !!

My friend told me he swiped past this thinking it was a photo and I was like ?? But I’m taking it as a compliment

Finished painting Octavia Butler, legend and icon. A sci-fi hero of mine who saw so much so clearly. Happy Black History Month!

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

DEI is the most popular thing in this list lmao

at least he also wants to risk his own life???? It's all so dumb

This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

can more institutions PLEASE act like this!! everyone stop rolling over challenge!!

is this bad?

painted Doechii because she’s amazing.

they're fucking around and finding out... unfortunately we have to find out along with them 😭

oh my god we really get closer to Parable of the Sower every fucking day. Uber to summon your own personal militia, Jesus Christ

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

Someone's gotta do it I guess New print here! www.sonnyross.com/shop/together

It's TRULY annoying how good I feel the rest of the day after the damn gym. The fitness peeps were right and now I gotta do this shit forever lmao

I went to seven national parks last year. I was (am?) excited to visit a bunch more in 2025. It makes me so sad and angry that the Trump admin has gutted the parks budget and made our national lands objectively more unsafe and inaccessible to the American people.

I don't know any headline is bad enough to break the fever, but Elon Musk's Ketamine Dealer Is Gutting the Department of Education might do the trick

Me: I love when artists do hourly comic day it’s so cute and fun to see all the little things they get up to Me: but it would be boring if I did it

"We have a responsibility as a party to block absolutely everything when they are putting a match to the federal government." — @aoc.bsky.social on IG live just now

Just finished my first read and whew. Really quite haunting If you’re a big fan I’d be curious how you interpret the climactic scene at the end w/ all the neighbors. And or Beloved’s pov / nature / visions(?) It all worked for me poetically / emotionally but I sorta felt like I missed something

ok sweet - boycat is an app to support divesting from corps that hate us, buycat helps us find alternatives. this is one of the most accessible, discreet, consistent and effective ways we can be in solidarity with each other!

It’s finally raining in LA 🌧️ 💙

People are registering displeasure with Cybertruck owners.

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this

have you ever been in an argument with someone throwing out countless "facts" and "studies," making themselves impossible to debate? This is a great video from @innuendostudios.bsky.social and @theabigailthorn.bsky.social about how to handle that. Look for the argument under the "argument"

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Got the donation info from the article. "Her Venmo handle is @major-griffingracy, and her Cash App is $MajorGriffinGracy."

Costco shareholders voted strongly against a proposal requesting a report on the risks of maintaining its diversity and inclusion initiatives, the US company said, sending a message running counter to the intense scrutiny many such corporate policies face. cnn.it/3PQdvlo

it's like AOC is the only person who is expressing an actual emotion here

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.

This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

BEGGING all queers to resist the urge to assimilate and "blend in" by adhering to heteronormativity. If we abandon the most visible they will just come after the next tier down. It's a losing strategy.

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country
