part of what got south korea out under the thumb of authoritarian dictatorships and to real elections (1987) and free and fair ones (1992) were large, mass protests and demonstrations.

which is such an anodyne way of describing what happened. it makes it sound bloodless.

it wasn't.

my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

Spouse went to get kiddo & friend’s kiddo early today given reports of ICE nabbing folks by nearby schools and ppl had come out in force to cover the area. Honestly turned a stressful situation into a heartening one for us (with all the caveats about our positionality of course). ILU Chicago ❤️

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Apparently people have been getting their needs fully met from that thread I started as well as the multiple other threads inspired by Link.

If this doesn’t demonstrate Link’s impact and the value of BlueSky as a mutual aid network, I don’t know what can.

Keep it up y’all.

"vote blue no matter who"

this is strike two in the past year by democrats specifically on trans rights

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 1d

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

26 Senate Democrats Help Pass Military NDAA Containing Trans Sports, Surgery Ban, No Protection For US Troop Deployments

The bill passed by a wide margin in the Senate and will be the starting point for negotiations with the House, which contain more severe anti-trans riders.

I know theoretically there's a point to the reconciliation part of a truth and reconciliation commission but I'm not sure what reconciliation looks like at this point

my anti-carceral beliefs do not go as far as the likes of k. noem or s. miller

Also, this is important for those not from #Chicago👇 lovely houses, restaurants, Old Town School of Folk Music. You often see folks walking around with instruments.

And WGN has been a long-time beloved local TV station that carries Cubs baseball.

for those unfamiliar with chicago, lincoln square is a nicer, residential neighborhood with a lot of expensive houses. it used to be the center of the german community but is now mostly richer, upper middle class families

2 bedroom apartments average about $2k for rent there

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

at least one of these has portrayed a woman that was supposedly of asian ancestry, therefore all white people look the same, just like all asians
