My heroes today are the citizens of Venice, Italy, who are telling Jeff Bezos the truth during his wedding.
Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court made it possible for couples like Brad and me to marry in every corner of this country. It was a moment we never thought we’d live to see and one we’ll never take for granted. Now, we must stay vigilant to ensure that right is never taken away. Love is love. Then, now, and always.
In the last five years, we've gone from "employees will never have to go into an office" to "employees need to be in the office because creative and innovative work can only be done face-to-face between humans" to "lol we don't need humans"
Dem leaders are supporting a war powers resolution that may actually give Trump more power. https://theintercept.com/2025/06/25/democrats-war-powers-resolutions-trump-israel-iran/
War Powers Resolution From House Democratic Leaders May Not Limit Trump’s War Powers

In an apparent nod to Israel, some Democrats want to give Trump power to defend “an ally or partner of the United States from imminent attack.”

Billionaires hoard wealth and spend it in wasteful, unnecessary ways like vast mansions, super yachts and private jets.

We could instead end poverty, phase out fossil fuels and provide education and healthcare for everyone.

Hello Fedi friends!

My decision to upload the Fedi promo video to YouTube 2 weeks ago was really controversial.

@randahl posted a nice message about the video & encouraged his followers to like / comment on it so the YouTube algorithm would serve it to more people. He was inundated by hostile comments for days. Sorry Randahl!

Well, exhibit A of why this was a good decision in hindsight (see pic).

How else are people going to hear about the Fediverse?

As always, thanks for the support ❤️

Every time I come across this debate I can't help but think of this comic. Thanks to @LegalizeBrain for this round.

PSA: Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr., so Scientific American published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new administration.

Holy shit. I can't think of a better way to get a whole ass neighborhood furious at you. Anyone who pushes the ice cream cart is off limits.
@990000 ICE are the hardened criminals.
@990000 I like America as I like my drinks: without ICE.
@DeanFarrell @990000 I like America as I like my fascist settler-colonial imperialists: not at all.

@990000

The only hardened criminals in these operations are the nazis of ICE.

@990000 Reminds one of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Fossil fuel interests, then & now, rejoice in using public dollars, during a recession, to benefit themselves.

Paramilitary goons buying favor with a fascist regime by doing the dirty work for rich elites...it's not new.

The KKK functions the same way to preserve the wealth of the privileged

Restricted movement of a targeted minority. Economic duress. Fear & menace used as social controls. Policies of Immiseration

@990000
It wasn't that long ago Republicans were preaching the addictive evils and dangers of ICE, and now they're the adicts.
@990000 Unless I've got my history wrong the USA is a country of murderous immigrants on stolen land so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's acting this way.
But still, FFS you're behaving like barbarians. Stop it.

@990000 I still can't believe this is happening in the US. People are being kidnapped off of streets, from jobs, at school and disappearing and folks are just "oh wow, let's organize a march about this for next month."

YOUR GOVERNMENT IS KIDNAPPING PEOPLE AND IMPRISONING THEM!

Most Americans don't seem to care. Is it because the victims are not white? If these were blond women and blue eyed men being kidnapped by the hundreds every day, would Americans care?

@TheresaReason @990000 you mean the millions of people who have been protesting week after week amidst the repression of the military and the national guard? You mean the many people who have been arrested fighting against this? Maybe you are not hearing about it but it’s happening.
@990000 Fascism is happening in the USA. The USA is openly a white supremacist state.
@990000 ALL for PRISONS for profit. Why Congress is making $$$ on prison stocks

@990000

the ICE guys are being paid to grab people of color; they don't care who it is, and apparently neither does the idiot savant in the WH.
