Pinning all my pinned posts here in an ongoing thread, from books & autism, to silver boots, to whatever else should make the list.
I'm an organizer. It's cleaner this way.

With alt text, and I hope Mr. Slyngstad will let me know if I failed to do it justice:

Trump, an elephant with a haircut, and a sieg-heiling Musk oversee a sausage-making operation. A pregnant woman labeled WIC, older people variously labeled SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, and MEDICAID (one label per person), and a person in a brown shirt labeld SNAP, are all being fed into a bloody meat grinder. Trump is poking them in with a stick that looks like a blind person's cane.
Out comes the sausage, labeled $42 TRILLION TAX CUT, with Jeff Bezos, the Monopoly man, and Zuckerberg ready by its plate with forks and knives.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

I wish the game with the metal rods about spatial awareness was real. That's the one I want to try. I think it's a bit later in the series.

So we correct it with the complete term every time it comes up. It'll annoy them eventually bc they'll start anticipating it, but that will mean they're making the correction in their own heads by then, and that's where we need to move things.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I think that might be due to choice. They don't want to accept that they're subject to the same patterns as everyone else. Surely they are superior to that. A sort of narcissistic denial? So it's less that they can't see the pattern and maybe more that they refuse to accept it applies to them, too?

Katie @looktogod.bsky.social · 10h

I think they do, at least subconsciously. That's why they're all so paranoid about any possible threat to their authority.

Katie @looktogod.bsky.social · 10h

Humanity resists. They can't hold onto that power forever. They turn on each other. Outside forces. Inside forces. They may and possibly will take a lot of us with us, but it'll fall apart eventually somehow.

Katie @looktogod.bsky.social · 10h

I know. And they also see it as useful bc "a beaten down population is easier to control." They know how much harder life is to fight when you're disabled.

But it's not sustainable. They have to know that, too, right?

Katie @looktogod.bsky.social · 10h

The irony being how they ignore how their policies are only making more disabled people along the way. They *can't* get rid of all of the disabled people bc everyone joins that list eventually, and brutality state regimes only increase our numbers at a faster rate.

Masks.
No name tags or badges.
No identification on the vehicles.

Yep. That’s a secret police force.

Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

They claim to want to "Make America Healthy Again" by this only forces the poorest to rely on the cheapest foods which we are frequently condemned for as being unhealthy. Food banks supplemented food options to improve health.

But we all knew it was all a lie anyway, didn't we?

ProPublica @propublica.org · 14h

WATCH: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

This message at the top of a U.S. Forest Service website is ridiculous.
#ImpeachTrump

Message at the top of the page says: "The Radical Left Democrats shut down the government. This government website will be updated periodically during the funding lapse for mission critical functions. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people."

Why a Qatari airbase in Idaho? Trump and the terrorist states like Qatar and Russia that bribe him want to see the US destroyed in a civil war and seize what they can. Qatar will back Trump. The airbase is an invasion to ensure US chaos and destruction.

Qatar is such a dangerous terrorist threat that several neighboring states sanctioned it for years. This is like letting Russia open a military base on US soil, which could also happen. Trump sells the US to foreign adversaries
