It's like everyone forgot Dobbs in the last month. I know a lot of pundits don't think it's still a big deal. I vehemently disagree.

I’m an actual pacifist. I want all guns banned. I just need the left to do less “violence is bad even when it happens to Trump” and more “this is the world Trump wants the rest of us to live in.”

Some people are marks and you don't have to be one. Rightwingers DO NOT believe that violence is not warranted. They believe that only they should be able to wield it.

billionaire wealth in the US hit 6 trillion today, an all time high, and that’s double what it was before trump-gop passed their tax bill in 2017 that accelerated the rich getting absurdly insanely richer

what pisses me off about this is that so many trans women began life being raised & treated as little boys who demonstrated “feminine”-coded behavior that got them abused, harassed and victimized by the EXACT same shitbag cis boys who mistreated little girls WE ON THE SAME SIDE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!

Spot on. The fetishization is also for mental suffering. I think of how TERFs say trans women weren’t little girls because they (supposedly) didn’t get treated badly the way little cis girls are, and miserable gender treatment is ours, dammit. It’s so sad and infuriating.

They want to take away overtime pay “How many hours did you work this week?” “60” “Well well well looks like we only need you for 20 hours next week, so no OT, sorry about that”

Project 2025, page 592: make it harder for employees to be paid at overtime rates by allowing employers to average the number of hours worked over 2-4 weeks

My fellow Americans, we have got to come together to scare these hos

This is also an indicator that many voters are just kind of checked out but DON’T want the far right to win, either - and they’ll turn out if they get spooked enough. We should remember this in the US

So glad that instead of state support we have random billionaire whims.

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

Trump is trying to get ahead of the reality that he and the heritage foundation are working to destroy America and institute a fascist dictatorship. He is lying and expecting the media to gaslight America for him.

I've recently started trying to use colour more in my artworks. If you'd like to see them all, please join my Patreon. It makes a massive difference to my life by keeping me fed and housed.

This year I started a series of artworks influenced by Picasso. I've taken elements of his style and used it to focus on topics he didn't, mainly Black women, with some African influences thrown in too. You can see the rest on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fightingpride93

Up to 60% of your body is water, and up to 60% of my body is sparkling water We are not the same,

Last year my neighbor set his dry-ass overgrown hedge ablaze with fireworks and I’m wondering if something similar is going to happen this year 🤔 I hope not but the firework activity so far this evening is already way more than it was last 4th 😬

my advice to everyone is just make something analog, doesn't matter what, just create something new with your hands and brain doesn't need to be inspired, doesn't need to be good even- just making something flips switches in your brain and makes life better

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.
