I have no plans to vacation in Florida or Texas … any more than I would have made plans to vacation in Nazi Germany.

Susan B Anthony was talking about religious persecution undertaken "under the command of #god."

Tech bros who are ostensibly worried about ethics towards "sentient AI" are weirdly extremely blasé about ethics when it comes to human beings

"Now..the deal faces what could be a catastrophic threat. With merger stalled for mos, Digital World is fast approaching Sept. 8 deadline for merger to close & scheduled a shareholder meeting for Tues in hopes of getting enough votes to extend the deadline another year.

If the vote fails, Digital World will be required by law to liquidate & return $300 million to its shareholders, leaving #Trump’s company with nothing from the transaction" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/02/truth-social-trump-media-digital-world/

Quack.

"In a world of Putins, be a Zelenskiy"

Harlan Crow has bought up the Supreme Court. Let's also remember that Harlan is a player for No Labels. If they can peel off enough voters, then Harlan owns the Presidency with Trump back in office.

Our country's government is being snapped up by billionaires who deign to criticize if not outright thwart and attempts at oversight.

Now-released forms reveal more trips gifted to Justice Clarence Thomas by Harlan Crow-

One year ago, this lil hillbilly appeared in my backyard crying for help. As it turned out, she was in heat and wanted to get affectionate with every thing and everyone. We got her all fixed up and showed her that living in a house is the best. Hobbies include boxes and attacking shadows. Has a huge collection of plastic bottle caps. Her name is Peach Lorraine #CatsOfMastodon #caturday #rescuecats

Ok fine like I’m the only one who ever brought a jar of pickles to a game of Pickleball.

Stupid name

Does anyone want my bread maker?
I found out it’s easier for me just to buy bread.

Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis)

Here's a pretty good closeup of a chickadee sitting on the top of a shepherd's hook in my backyard.

"In winter, the Carolina Chickadee’s diet is about half plant, half animal. The rest of the year about 80–90 percent of their diet is animal (mostly insects and spiders). Carolina Chickadees glean insects from foliage and tree bark, often hanging upside down to do so. They hold seeds and insects in their feet, wedged against the branch they’re perched on, to peck into them. They readily use bird feeders." - allaboutbirds.org

🚨BREAKING: Florida court STRIKES DOWN congressional map. GOP redistricting plan unlawfully "diminishes" Black voters’ ability to elect their candidate of choice in violation of state constitution. Congratulations to our clients and the entire team!

This has previously been posted but I don't think it got a lot of traction. EVERYONE needs to read this!

Let's give this a try. Fedi, please boost & pass on to artist friends.

Some antifascists are looking for a cartoonist to do some propaganda.

The artist should ideally be familiar enough with the personalities of the UK far-Right scene to be able to convincingly caricature them.

Happy to pay! Workers deserve their wages.

@DemocracyMattersALot Right Wing Death Squad tattoo on Biggs' right arm ("RWDS"). Abbott is a right-winger who loves death (pro-life pronouncements are just hokum for the rubes).

Because of changing life circumstances (my partner going into assisted living, me moving to a new apartment) we're needing to re-home our 2 dogs.

This is really, really hard. Luckily one of them is going back to my GF's ex-husband (which is an excellent thing) but I need to find a new home for Bella.

(more details about Bella in 🧵 )

*** Boosts greatly appreciated! 🙏 🐶 ***
