Hey #Resisters! This is probably the most beautiful and hilarious protest story you’ll find. Is there violence? Yes. But this is protesting with “Tactical Frivolity”, which has become the key phrase for #ICE protests, inspired by #Portland This story happened in #Minneapolis Read and Share 1/

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

Seems relevant. From Absolute Wonder Woman #3.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Signal will never message you like this. If you get a message like this, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HACK YOUR SIGNAL. DO NOT GIVE THEM THAT CODE.

This is fine

This is by far more effective at conveying what the government does than simply standing at a press conference surrounded by emergency personnel.

Im not sure where this came from. Someone sent it to me. It sure did make me smile, though.

Take a look at this moment and ask, in your heart, where your loyalty truly lies.

Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

remember, you can yell scream and curse at the political fundraising texts, but DO NOT reply with an actionable threat because the US attorney’s office considers the volunteer batch sending them to be a live human recipient of that message. it’s not just a bot. those cases can and do get charged.

Dear US Congress Start doing things while you still can, before someone decides to recreate this scene, only with "Congress" instead of "Imperial Senate" - and stop thinking they won't just as soon as they believe they can get away with it. It's an inevitable action on their path to total power.

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates. Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didn’t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction. So we’re doing it ourselves:

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Solidarity with Minnesotans today. You guys are legends.

It's STFU Friday. Refresh the script 👇

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I think it's important to boost news of the general strike in Minneapolis today and it's possible to do it without the hyperbole that nobody in the media is covering it It may not be getting the attention it deserves! Posting links to reported stories is one way to combat that!

It's BS you need to love yourself first. Even if you hate yourself now, love them fully and fearlessly🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 I want a world where someday you'll love yourself and live proud, just as you are

uh, hey, so... To all the Americans who will now be contending with lots of snow: Shoveling is HARD WORK. Do not force yourself to do it all at once. Take your time. Lift with your knees. Shovel off a top layer and then the bottom layer. Shovel a narrow path and then the whole sidewalk. Go slow.

Hi, for those of you unfamiliar with this sort of weather -if the power goes out, trying to heat your home with the clay pot + candle method is not a great idea, try personal warmth (ie blankets) and blocking and sealing drafty areas instead if you can

@reaperminiatures.bsky.social Okay, confirmed: the chloroxylenol penetrates into the PVC and leeches out just the plasticiser- this leaves the PVC intact. The Reaper Bones will be much more rigid and still be able to be heat shaped. Chloroxylenol is in antiseptics like Dettol and milton.

Hey, folks, can I both commit capitalism and get a bit personal for a moment? I wanna talk a bit about the upcoming Kickstarter for the fourth edition of Mutants & Masterminds. (I'm probably gonna be doing a LOT of this for the next five weeks, so now's your time to mute or unfollow me.)

18. (niche/regional): Arguing about who has the best wings in Western NY is incredibly stupid. Virtually every spot--from pizza joints to pubs to sit down restaurants--offers wings that are within a comparable range with a high floor. They HAVE to, or they wouldn't exist

One can obviously have a nuanced conversation about the tactics of nonviolence and what we even understand “nonviolence” to be but I find myself genuinely wanting to ask a lot of these officials whether they think the colonial side of American Revolution should have been less confrontational

What if we let people wear clothes, makeup, jewelry that made them happy and we shut the fuck up about age, body, gender and every other thing because it's none of our business and JUST LET PEOPLE ENJOY THEMSELVES.

Man, if I stumble into making tens of millions of dollars I hope I have the good sense to shut the fuck up and build a bunch of libraries and fund food banks so when I check out peoples first response isn’t “So, that asshole’s done.” The bar. It is SO LOW.

hmm... so, it has to be something I want to listen to for hours and hours. It has to have variety of sound and genre(...ish?) It has to be something *others* will want to listen to. ... Queen, The Bohemian Rhapsody Soundtrack #music #queen #millionbucks #bohemianrhapsody
