Not to mention that the AI summaries are all people are really reading when "doing their own research" and AI in general is making the internet pretty useless in terms of research, which is why we really need to save our Libraries.

just 1 day left to try and sell about $875 in art cuz that is what we are going to fall short. Been busting our asses the last few days and that's what we got to come up with. I added new pieces to my shop & my commissions are open if you want 1 of my sunflower pours at www.ko-fi.com/johnniejae/shop

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

Preparing myself for the inevitable email from the Democrats : The Next 100 Day Fight Fund lol like no thank you, and they should really refund everyone who donated to the FIRST 100 Day Fight Fund.

Reminder to cis journalists, editors, podcasters, etc: actually ask trans people to write and speak about the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC update. Half of you don’t know the difference between a trans man and a trans woman. Your opinion isn’t needed. Ours is.

He *wants* to use the military against Americans. But they aren't supposed to obey illegal orders. The question is will they hold

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

While my journalism colleagues have spent the weekend hobnobbing at the White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend.... I've been building a resistance summer course on race and media--- instead of partying with the regime that's trying to purge education on race. Miss me with that.

Team Trump is cutting money for deaf kids. “Pediatric deafness is a neurodevelopmental emergency. Without support, deaf and hard of hearing children do not learn to communicate, which has cascading effects on brain, language, social & occupational development.” www.tc.columbia.edu/articles/202...

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

Been busying trying to do the impossible but we may be able to pull it off. We made a $1500 payment towards the $5k for rent. A little over $600 of that $1500 was from art sales, so thank you all so much! Still $3500 to go, maybe less cuz we have about 600 now from dashing & a small graphics job

Today, two local men were either seized by the Department of Homeland Security or abducted by imposters, but there seems to be no way to know which is the case, because both have the same MO. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

One of my favorite things to do are table reads. I got to play a few parts in the table read of Steven Tallas' Blood Mesa....the best part was a scene where basically I got to argue with myself since the two characters I portrayed got into a fight with each other 🤣

Huge Independent Bookstore Day success at Portland's Black indie bookstore Third Eye Books! Met our governor Tina Kotek, co-founder of Portland's chapter of the Black Panther Party Kent Ford, and gave away 200 copies of The 1619 Project by Nicole Hannah-Jones. It was a good day. ❤️📚 #Booksky

This is how terrified they are of people in government telling the truth to the American people about what they are doing behind the scenes. Cockroaches hate sunlight.

It's a good day to be Otoe-Missouria! Today the tribe broke ground on a small #landback victory! nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

“I find it a little bit strange that you have governments taking up Indigenous peoples’ time,” he said, spending precious seconds of his three minutes to directly question the forum chair. “If everything’s okay in their countries, why are we here?” www.hcn.org/articles/pro...

I haven't done a lot to promote our new children's book. I think the book is very good and it's really beautifully illustrated. The truth is that I am worn out so if you might be interested please support the book: bookshop.org/p/books/pris...

Well, I mean.....BIPOC, LGBTQIA, Disabled, and even other countries have been warning the US for centuries that we needed to keep our nation's buttholes in check but here we are with white folks wearing their surprised pikachu faces as everything we said would happen, happens to them too now!

What's the funniest thing people notice about me? That I will cuss like a sailor online but in real life, Damn and rat bastard are the sauciest things you'll hear from me lol otherwise it's a lot of son of a biscuit eater, sweet baby jeeberz, poppycock or holay molay

Maybe I wasn’t around to participate in most of the atrocities other whites in this country have committed but I have undeniably benefitted from them and I cannot ignore the implicit ways I have contributed myself even if I didn’t realize. More to follow but short version is I bear responsibility 🧵

White people in general like distancing themselves from their peers and community as a whole instead of taking responsibility and then forcing the onus of change on everyone else trying to prevent and survive the harm coming from their peers and communities.
