May i pick better partners in the future. May i pick partners who are more in touch with their own emotions. May i pick partners that are more responsible communicators. May i pick partners whose senses of compassion and loyalty match my own.

Keeper grinning and holding up a fluffy wild cat with a gormless expression on its very stoned little face. The paws are hanging, the mouth is open, the eyes have nothing behind them but vague confusion.

LEAST flattering manul photo I have ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE: Pabu, who voluntarily climbed into his carrier for the first time in his life, age 9. Once he was safely drugged, he was examined by the vet for a clean bill of health!

Please, don’t trust ANY anti-sex-trafficking nonprofit that refuses to support the labor rights of consensual adult sex workers.

We know for a fact that criminalization leads to exploitation and trafficking.

I would also be wary of those who fund such organizations.

This country has always been founded on slavery and white supremacy, but bootlicker libs that tolerate the f45c1st far right will be/arw the downfall of any remaining vestiges of freedom we still have if they continue to lie down and do nothing.

I just noticed Belgrado has a new EP out!!

Belgrado - El Encuentro

Available on Tidal and Bandcamp!

(Please BOYCOTT/continue to boycott Spotify, as they ran ICE Ads and never apologized for it in any way. Lets not support music platforms that support f@5c1st regimes!)

Image art from Caterwaul's album Portent hue, which depicts a pixelated yellow longhorn cow head on a blue and green background with around halo of ruler or slide rule numbers, and a orange strip on the far left with the band logo descending in a painterly, sloppy font.

Image depicts the album art from Weyes Blood's album Titanic Rising. Picture shows a woman underwater in a small, blue walled bedroom. There is a twin bed on the left hand side, posters on the back wall, and to the right thr woman, wearing a white tshirt and jeans, stands in front of a dresser on the back wall, with a window behind her on the right wall. The white curtains are flowing outward into the water. The woman's hair is floating upwards towards the waters surface at the top of the image.

This morning's listens:

Caterwaul - Portent Hue
Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A meme. In the first frame there is a T-Rex from Jurassic Park pictured with the words "DEMOCRATS FIGHTING ZOHRAN MAMDANI." In the second frame there is an image of Barney the Dinosaur shrugging along with text that reads "DEMOCRATS FIGHTING DONALD TRUMP."

True story.

Drag performer taken by ICE, morning after Pride Week pageant - 48 hills HIlary Rivers was detained during a scheduled immigration appointment in downtown SF after Miss & Mr. Safe Latino Pageant.

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release.

Every day I'm so glad i never had children. The human race is really doing a terrible job, and existence is pain punctuated by occasional fun which becomes less accessible every year of my life.

This quote from Andor seems rather apropos to the state of the US political machine currently:

"The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.”

Very cool stamp arrived on a postcard today from Germany. "Nie Vieder Krieg" - No More War. Featuring art from a famous anti war poster by artist Käthe Kollwitz.

Ice just knocked a protester unconscious outside the Portland OR ice facility and then dragged them unconscious into the gates

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.

People of color are the majority in LA, where race deeply informs life and death. Several national publications can’t publish black or brown writers because they push out us of their newsrooms or never hire us to begin with – which is also intimately tied to what’s happening in LA and the nation.

Summer 2025 edition

Know Your Protest Rights: 1. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. 2. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. 3. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. 4. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. 5. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. 6. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney -- no matter your citizenship or immigration status.

Stay safe everyone. And know your rights

The difference between libs and leftists is that leftists rather put up with libs over fascists while the libs rather put up with fascists over leftists. It always happens, historically. Many many such examples.

Ppl really be like ," I'm not a fascist I just believe in ..." and proceed to describe exactly what a fascist is/ believes in lol. Get the fuck out of here you evil pieces of fascist shit.

Elon Musk Wants To Wreck A Crucial Agency That No One Is Talking About Constitutional challenges to the National Labor Relations Board may end up before the Supreme Court, with grave implications for workers and unions.

Hello! I took a deep look at the efforts by SpaceX and Amazon to gut the NLRB, how SCOTUS' right-wing majority could kneecap the agency, and what the disastrous results could be for workers and unions.
