Be smarter than the J6ers who got caught, yeah?

You don't want to be as stupid as them.

As we all know, real activists who achieve real things talk about doing federal crimes on public social media all the time

(do not trust anyone who talks about how cool doing federal crimes is on public social media)

Ever since I got my hands on the “Greatest Gift” compilation in the early 2000s, I’ve wanted to own these tracks on vinyl. Thank you Corey Rusk for making that an affordable possibility! #ScratchAcid #BerserkerEP #VinylCollection #MusicSky

Scratch Acid’s S/T and Berserker EP playing on my turntable. The vinyl platter is black with a close up of lead singer David Yow’s face. The album cover is white, with a black charcoal sketch of a skinny, humanoid female from the shoulders down on the left hand side.

It’s so fascinating, there’s a moment in this where they notice the crowd shift and decide they have to gtfo immediately

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

I woke up with $3 in my bank account this morning, so I could use some help... 😓

I'm trying to move to a safer city soon, so if you could share or even donate, I would greatly appreciate it! 🧡🏳️‍⚧️

All funds will go to meds, appointments, groceries, and moving!

Great track! But “Joey” gets my vote for best song on Bloodletting.

I discovered that I can successfully make breakfast burritos at home this morning and now I may never leave my house again.

They’ve given up on trying to win over the more left-leaning amongst us. They’re trying to appeal to the imaginary swaths of centrist who will help them win next time around.

Thanks for the cold chill that occurred as I read this and realized that the spirit of Joe Strummer was whispering in my ear.

It would be a tragedy if someone more industrious than myself didn’t use this opportunity to do a cover with the hook changed to “reach out, text faith”.

This is the line for blue state governors. They need to order their state police to work AGAINST unconstitutional ICE actions in their jurisdiction, not to assist them.

Otherwise, all their "opposition" to Trump is just meaningless talk.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

A protester with a mobility aid (cane) was sitting in the road. Illinois state troopers dragged them to the grass and arrested them.

To my followers: what is a song that brings you to tears? Like, the instant you try to sing along with the words, you start choking up? I know it’s different for everyone, but I’m working on a playlist and suggestions might help get me going in the right direction.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Unfortunately, it’s only going to get worse from here on out. Hooray for climate change.

Getting something we collectively worked for is not “free stuff”, and anyone who thinks it is needs to have their head examined.

This would be a fucking stupid move if Netflix caved, on par with Target's disastrous DEI rejection. Because the conservatives wont suddenly start being better customers, and they'll lose anyone left of center. Its abandoning your core audience for one which won't show up.

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"

That's it. That's the whole story.

James Fallows @jfallows.bsky.social · 13d

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.)

Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact:
- White House
- Senate
- House
- Scotus
- OMB (to the hilt)
- Every regulatory agency

They're in command. It's on them.

OBrienSci @obriensci.bsky.social · 13d

I do not understand why they cannot get the headlines right.

Just follow the gop playbook!

“Repubs control it all! The shutdown is on them!”

As nauseum.

Don’t lead with the nuance.
