Try to make sure as many folks see this as possible, but especially MAGA. A lot of the stages described in this video are already familiar. Draw those parallels. Make those points. You may not get far with them, but they are not your audience. youtu.be/8K6-cEAJZlE?...

Weird recent discovery. Sharing here in case it's helpful for others too. Whenever your brain starts throwing out disaster scenarios, instead of trying to ignore them or reframe, try challenging your brain to imagine even worse. Like, "Okay, you wanna do this? Let's fucking go!" 1/2

Imagine being the White House demon right now and having to live with Temu Louis XIV with his shitty gold applique obsession.

I don't think everyone gets that there is no going back to how things were at this point. The good/bad news is that everything is crumbling. The good/bad news is that we need to figure out what kind of society to build next. And we all need to start imagining that "next" now.

New blog post just dropped. As you can probably tell from the title, I'm being super subtle. Very diplomatic. My take on the shaping force of worldview & the impossibility of remaining apolitical. Also: a feral disaster groundhog. Apolitical = Shit - Seo Helrune share.google/nJenwrEl2zQf...

Oh hai, Bluesky! I kinda forgot this app existed. Watched Sinners last night, and omg what an amazing movie! Definitely the kind of film that lives in your mind long after the end credits are done.

This is what patriotism looks like - marching toward the Capitol with pride, purpose, and the promise of liberty for all.

Los Ángeles is only the first city, MAGA and Trump don’t have enough troops to keep up the pace. Mayors and governors need to back the American people over the Trump regime ICE forces.

Tomorrow!!!

No shit, Beanhead. Almost like there was a reason for that whole "separation of powers" thing.

To this day, this remains my favorite academic paper title.

I keep thinking about a vid by @parkroseperma.bsky.social about the need for artists in the movement. She's 100% right. Art is important, and not only for marketing purposes. It can also help us to envision futures and ways of being outside of the neoliberal box. Imagination -> innovation. 1/3

Help, the kid has an electric guitar! The dog is TRAUMATIZED. I'm not sure my emotional support human skills are up to this task.

Get ready for a continuous occupation of the National Mall until Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office. #3E #EndOligarchy #USProtests

THIS is the energy. Tax the rich. Corporations are not people.

This is the second time she's posted against going to war. It makes me wonder about the internal convos about Iran, because between this and Rick Scott going on TV talking about how we "need" to destroy Iran because of nukes, I'm going to be watching this one closely.

How many innocents will need to die before everyone else accepts they are being intentionally culled by Trump and Musk? It's not incompetence. It's autogenocide. #3E #EndAutogenocide

Call to action: nationwide protests and sit-ins. Saturday April 5th. “REMOVE REVERSE RECLAIM” #3E #USprotests

Chuck Schumer just axed his book tour. One of the most entrenched powerful men in the Senate did that because the People got loud and pissed off. Do not let anyone fool you into thinking that we The People are not in charge. We run these rich fucks when we claim our power. We can stop this coup.

Few people are aware that Liberty locks eyes with a statue of Minerva, an armored goddess of war and the arts, at Green-Wood cemetery in Brooklyn. Without Liberty, what is left? Interesting how the response to that question is the same for circumstances and statuary alike.

"Weird" how Trump tends to make these bullshit decrees after midnight. I know a lot of people are locked into the idea of him not sleeping because of too much Adderall (or whatever), but really, we should be thinking about this in terms of bot networks and Moscow local time.

They targeted the capital, ergo civilians. Regardless of what you may think of the Houthis and their actions, this is just plain wrong. Evil. We shouldn't be bombing civilians, period. Also, why does this feel like it's going to become the pretext for furthering some nefarious domestic agenda?

This is just wonderful! I used to go to school with a lad who has sickle cell anemia. As a kid, I always felt so bad for him having to wear a sweater when it was hot. I don't know where he is in the world now, but I hope this makes it out to people like him in the near future.

With some notable exceptions, fuck the Democratic Party. Time for something better. This is not an opposition.

does Chuck Schumer realize that voting to damn the USA to Hell also massively increases the odds of a wine mom trying to eat his actual heart on live TV

Save me from the 'all nature is delightful' brigade, save me their inaccurate, dangerous positivity. The wise witch knows some places hold bruises, that their psychic skin is scarred.

Do it. Call this guy, tell him NO on cloture.

Given they're shifting these background checks to the Pentagon post purge, what does that tell us about their perception of control within the Pentagon?

The weekend of protests starts now. Veterans March Media March Save America Protest And in addition nationwide protests at your state capitols and Tesla dealerships. #3E #StandWithUkraine #TeslaTakeDown #FuckICE #FreePalestine #14thNow

This is by design. Musk confirmed this was what they were going to do prior to the election.

“Illegal immigrant” was their first success. Now comes “Illegal boycott” “Illegal protest” “Illegal votes” “Illegal posts” Until the “illegal” is you. #3E

Holy shit, I think this would actually work.

More of this!

The writ of habeas corpus exists to protect against arbitrary detention and confinement. Of course, the writ meaning anything depends on an executive branch that is willing to 1) respond to a legal action; 2) tell the truth in court; and 3) obey a court order. Otherwise this is 1973 Chile

Absolutely amazing.

Call to action: Veterans March in DC on March 14. If you know a vet or active service member talk to them about the danger of the Trump regime and encourage them to participate. “We dont take an oath to a king.” -Gen Mark Milley #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity

One day, I will type the word "automatically" without accidentally typing "automagically" first, but today is not that day.

Modern Heathenism really needs a lot more awareness of and commitment to fixing missing stairs.

Bezos doesn't actually support individual rights. His entire business model would be impossible if he did. When he says "personal rights" here, he just means "personal" in the sense of "corporate personhood."

POSIWID (The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does). Or in other words: ignore the stated purpose and observe actions instead to get to the actual purpose of a system (politician, government, ruler...).

Feds, take care of yourself. If you have any feelings of harming yourself, please call or text 988. Or call 1 800 273 8255! This Fed loves you guys and wants you to be here. Be kind to yourself, #altgov

Folks who understand legalese, I keep seeing this claim that the House Resolution passed last night removed taxes on tips and overtime. I see media repeating it as well, but I can't find that specific part in the bill itself.
