Certainly the problem couldn't be the other site, which has devolved into a right wing, reactionary echo chamber, artificially boosting propaganda and conspiracy theories in the interest of subverting democracy. Surely not.

Just a reminder that the Holocost began as mass deportations. Relocating so many people became a logistical and financial impossibility, so it continued to escalate toward violence and death

it's really funny that any news anchor in america can say that biden was mentally incompetent but you can't say trump is mean without getting in big trouble

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

PHILLY:

Reminder that this country had an insurrection on Jan 6 and Trump refused to send in the National Guard.

Fascists want to provoke violence so they can justify crackdowns and get some good footage to distort for state propaganda outlets

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

Abolish ICE.

How’d you get here so fast? “I ran”

The fall of America could be a little less cartoonish, tbh

That really does get to the nut of the Right's position overall: people do not have inherent worth/rights. Or worse, some are inherently worth less than others.

Mad #23 (May 1955). The last comic book issue of the title. The July 1955 issue (#24) was the debut of Mad in magazine format.

Heads up MA folks, I'll be at Titcomb's in East Sandwich on June 17 to give a little book talk and do a signing. www.titcombsbookshop.com/events/47002

Just here to say if anyone else had broken rank with the president in this way they would instantly be the focus of constant ire and fired from their position. What's the common denominator between them again?

the people here probably already know this but really spread this far and wide: tell your normal offline friends and family to stop using ChatGPT for legal advice. it's happening constantly now. I'm always explaining to people why the advice this silly thing gave them is not real legal advice.

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121

"Look, things explode. It's just part of nature. Cybertrucks explode, and it's no big deal. So why should we spend so much time harping on how frequently our rockets explode, when we could, instead, focus on how long they haven't exploded?"

Here's today's vintage tutorial by the talented Preston Blair - shows us how the LINE OF ACTION in a figure TRANSFORMS the pose and its impact. The wrong/right examples here illustrate the idea so well - READ IT ONCE AND KNOW IT FOREVER! #animation #animationdev #howtodraw #draw

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Silicon Valley focusing on crafting A.I. systems that rob the livelihoods of real human artists in the interest of further consolidating wealth within the 1%, rather than, I don’t know, helping cure cancer or genuinely doing anything altruistic whatsoever:

The Emperor is extremely without clothes. Someone in the media, please notice.

"Pod" didn't save shit.

I assume Gen Z tubers using the MGS "!" sound effect is about as abstract to them as the "record scratch" sound effect or the concept of a rotary phone. I am old.

Some quick studies from the Musée D'Orsay

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.

The word around town is that the next big thing is Artisanal Imagery, hand-made visuals that you simply have to own if you don't want to be left behind
