I think that's an excellent idea!!
I actually know quite a few people who will do a strike but they refuse to advertise that beforehand

Yes but when you infiltrate in person you usually only have limited access to the info for that location (think French Resistance)
You don't get the name & phone number of EVERY person across the entire country who signed up to strike

THIS is the way!
It is impossible to cry "Look at the violence!" when all you see is dancing characters & music
It makes them look like the lying morons they are

Knowing what grief is - Grief is love with nowhere to go
Helps understand and accept it
Every time I have felt grief I was comforted in knowing it meant how much I love who I was grieving
I hope this brings you comfort

She defended Woody Allen at every turn; be wiser about who you pick as a role model

Do you know what's stupid?
A washed up singer in his 50's who still uses the name "Kid" and apparently cruises for "chicks" at colleges

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

If only the rest of Dem leadership & reps would recognize that leading with grit, empathy, & justice gets people inspired
And inspired people fight like hellcats

This is not true; ebola can be spread by touching contaminated items that have been in contact with any bodily fluids of an infected person (diarrhea, vomit, blood, urine, sweat, semen etc)

Sure she will...
Just like trump after he left office
People need to wake the fuck up and realize that our lack of justice is what led directly to what is happening now
In order for anyone to "face any consequences" we need to change the system

The country will be saved by steel vaginas

Men are far too emotional & weak to lead

Be aware folks - they are hoping for violence on 10/18
BE PREPARED & DO NOT be surprised if they incite it

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

I think, if anyone can afford it, that we need a myriad of these costumes at the Oct 18th protests
It is IMPOSSIBLE to claim that "antifa" is violent if we're all dressed like this
It makes them look like idiots

PORTLAND: “The frogs are multiplying”

(#NotAWarZone Noem Matter what Kristi says)

Acerbik @acerbik.bsky.social · 2d

I truly hope EVERYONE dresses up at these rallies and makes a mockery of this admin
Plus I'd like to see the MSM ignore millions of American hitting the streets dressed up like frogs & unicorns, & dinosaurs bc that seems to REALLY be pissing off ICE in Portland

Okay well I am totally in love with you now!

And you're right - courage is contagious and I truly believe that women are going to be the ones to get us out of this mess bc WE know how to be courageous in the face of crushing injustice

(and men seem to be afraid of EVERYTHING)

Acerbik @acerbik.bsky.social · 2d

It depends really
Public figures may not be paying attention for the most part but you can guarantee they take notice when they start getting thousands of mentions when they normally don't or if an unflattering hashtag shows up with their name

Acerbik @acerbik.bsky.social · 2d

That's up to you :-)
Tagging someone is tracked, as are hashtags, so the more times someone is tagged the more noticeable a person or issue may become
That can be good or bad depending on your perspective and the issue/person

I was answering a question not commenting on the bot issue

Acerbik @acerbik.bsky.social · 2d

Perhaps in the current political climate it's more understandable but as a norm it's on par with talking about someone behind their back and that is cowardly
Plus it doesn't allow the person being commented on to either defend themselves, give a diff perspective, or change

Snitch tagging is when someone makes a post, usually critiquing someone, but does not tag the person
"Snitch tagging" is when someone else comments on that post but does tag the person who was critiqued

Personally I think it's cowardly to comment on anyone publicly & not tag them

Uh yeah that's where I got MY info from

Acerbik @acerbik.bsky.social · 3d

They post about a strike but people are NOT going to sign up bc 1) there is NO transparency on who is running this and 2) the data collected is not safe (it states on the site that the info is subject to subpoena)

Where's the in-person organizing? Can't strike w/o that
Is this just data mining?

Now watch Vance & his rich friends swoop in and buy those farms for pennies on the dollar

It's been the plan all along

I grabbed a list of the fuckers that performed so I make sure to NEVER support any of them
Including the one who got an invite bc she asked for it, did the gig, then begged for forgiveness

I am SICK of being told I must tolerate the intolerant bc I'M the one trying to be a decent human being
