@sapphicfilmnerd needs to be allowed back on bluesky. I thought bluesky was supposed to be a safe haven from fascism. Instead, bluesky has joined the fascist likes of Facebook and Twitter.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Check out these baddies waging a psyops campaign outside the hotel where ICE agents were *trying* to sleep. Mariachi for the win!! 💃

KTLA: “I have no doubt it’s racially motivated.” A US citizen in the parking lot of a Home Depot was tackled to the ground, detained, locked up for 24 hours for filming ICE smashing a man’s window. He plans to sue. (From @keithboykin)

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy.

Just a handsome, majestic boy. Look at that curly whisker

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

They really are.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Food for thought.

Literally .

*sigh* Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part. There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work. Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.

Literally...

EVERY. WORD. OF. THIS.
