Stopped at Office Depot. Had to wait in line behind five other middle-aged people buying poster board and markers.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

As this country crumbles, Indigenous rights and sovereignty are going to come to the forefront, as well as States Rights.

Be prepared to advocate for Native tribes and people. We are the front line and we hold the answers to lead a new way.

Indigenous nations plan a tariff-free trade corridor across the US-Canada border

To everyone demonstrating tomorrow:

Be safe.
Don't post that you're going.
Don't post pictures during.
And put the DATE on any signs you make so they can't say it's old footage.
