Corporations are people. Embryos are people. Is there anything MAGAs don't think are people?

Oh, right. Women.

Bet frogs are loving this leap Thursday.

Mistigram: @pixelblip's #teletext animation here, with high fidelity accurately reproducing through period technology the experience of attending a #rave in the '80s, was intended for inclusion in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection... but we had to withdraw it upon learning that it singlehandedly doubled the final filesize of the pack. (Fortunately, you can enjoy it here.) PLUR and rave on!

@glyph there are two kinds of people in infosec: those who embrace the “Hackers” aesthetic, and those who can get off my lawn.

Addressing a hurtful attack on my character & identity by my opponent Rep Bill Foster.

Aaron Bushnell was humanist, and his good heart couldn't take his nation's support for genocide. The despicable western media apparatus will now try to discredit and tarnish his reputation, muck-rake into his past, and desperately try to drag your attention away FROM THE ONGOING GENOCIDE that he died to draw your attention to.

This Johnstone video (not graphic) is one of the more powerful reactions to Bushnell's sacrifice I've seen.

#ClimateChange is so big that it is so easy to forget about. I am so focused on the rise of authoritarianism that I forget about climate change every day.

It is easy to think and react to daily human drama and to war and famine and to all the rest. All of these are minuscule in comparison and climate will make them far worse.

Authoritarians do not care about climate change or if they do they welcome it. They would like to rule over the rubble that is left of human society in its wake.

Prosecutors argued Monday that Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant whose bogus claims about the Bidens provided grist for a GOP impeachment drive, was an "ongoing conduit for Russian intelligence." https://wapo.st/3SVAufK

When I was a radfem/TERF, I used people arguing with me to spread my views. It’s one of the most effective ways to spread propaganda. You know you’re not going to get everyone to agree with you, certainly not the person arguing with you but that’s not the point. You’re trying to reach people who will. Now that I left the anti-trans movement I never, ever debate or argue with transphobes. I block them. I’m careful about describing their ideology so as not to help them spread it. I fully support deplatforming, disruption, public humiliation, and other antifascist tactics. Those tactics make complete sense to my now because of my past as a TERF who focused on propaganda/recruitment/cultural influence. Listen to antifascists, not clout-chasing journalists.

Charles Koch would pay to get Hitler elected if he thought it would save him some taxes.

This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal.

Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.

The best argument for free education I have seen in my lifetime is this:

In the US where education is not free, and fewer get well educated, the country is now facing the very serious problem, that a large segment of voters do not understand why democracy is important. Instead, they follow a presidential candidate, who pitches dictatorship as an interesting new idea, and they do not possess the knowledge to instantly identify this as the worst possible idea ever suggested in American politics.
