The self-confidence of the conspiratorial!

this is an old post about one of the earlier incidents of Substack showing its ass. I remember when they made this statement a year and a half ago, which means we’ve known for at least that long that Substack is fine with Nazis. there is no excuse to still post to or engage with their platform

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

Sadly I didn't go to that one, it being across the sea from Sweden...

Absolutely ragged after Canterbury Pride. Wearing armour is a huge workout for the whole day, and gonna need a couple days recovery I think! #canterbury #pride #lgbt #queer #pride2025 #canterburypride2025

Bluesky in 2025 proves this statement is totally wrong

I would love to just post silly shit and computer game stuff but, as I noted during the election, America keeps happening.

So today at the hotel we had some guests that are in the middle of moving. They offered one of my bosses a mini fridge which my boss gladly took them up on. The guest mentions "Oh it has a few stickers on it" my boss says "that's fine" I bring in said fridge and spin it around.

Ok my lovelies, Steam Deck and Linux build of the demo is live, next time you update (or install!) you'll be running the proper linux version :) If you could support during next fest (starts tomorrow!!) it would mean SO MUCH to this silly pun obsessed queer ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/3100650/...

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Being a woman in comedy is weird coz amongst all the trolls who follow you round the internet going "not funny and also v ugly" are the creepy fans. They are far more unsettling and have plausible deniability because they act the bashful supporter and outsiders think they're cute. They are not cute.

DID YOU KNOW: you can’t do chores if you just stay in bed! avoid life’s little miseries with this one easy trick!!! doctors hate me!!!! this is unrelated though

One of these photos is how HBO's The Watchmen depicted a fascist police force back in 2018 The others are real photos of the ICE agents who are rounding people up and disappearing them in Boston, Denver, L.A., and elsewhere

Do you know the greatest addiction of all amongst the wealthy isn’t cigarettes, alcohol or drugs, it’s GREED! youtu.be/kTHYVd0sACo?...

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

RT if you love boobs or if you think ICE should be abolished

The native Linux and steam deck version of the QW demo will go live today. Ready for next fest tomorrow 🥰

I have not seen a single "I regret my Trump vote" person who actually talk about these things, but only about economics. It. Was. Always. About. Racism.

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

Trump attending the UFC while the National Guard was deployed against protesters is a textbook example of sportswashing used to distract from tyranny. Hitler, Mussolini, Putin, and Mohammed bin Salman all did the same.

There really isn't a day I don't wake up Haitian American. There isn't a day I don't pull for immigrants to succeed as a result. Imagine being first gen and closing the door behind you. Sure, I voted for the lesser evil, but I knew what garbage I was being handed. Today was coming *anyway.*

"Everyone should sit down and hold hands" is not something that happens when everything is developing minute per minute and nothing more is planned than "show up, be angry".

for no particular reason when i got maced in the face and had no sudecon, baby shampoo saved the day. dish soap also works great. stay safe ❤️

"Women are not physically inferior versions of men, and our function is not one of broodmares. We repudiate the equation of women with reproductive function as profoundly misogynistic."

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

This man has embraced his inner dril, taken his moment to deliver the line and stare at you to make sure you know he's dead serious.
