It appears that freedom of speech only applies to conservatives in the country. Be careful what you say they are very violent people.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is claiming to not know who Melissa Hortman is.

He's either playing dumb, is completely ignorant, or is losing memory.

I have the latest. Like, comment, share this video everywhere. youtu.be/ohtck4x4klk

For the future of our communities and our country, let's choose a different way.

Refuse to share content that glorifies violence or hatred.
→Remember that our shared identity as Americans is more vital than our political disagreements.

This is the single most important thing we can do right now: See each other as people again.

The legacy of this moment won't be defined by the violent few. It will be defined by the rest of us—by the overwhelming majority who still believe in community.
It's on us to:
→Mute the voices (online and off) that profit from turning us against each other.
→Check on your neighbors. All of them.

not just when it comes from the "other side." It's inseeing the humanity in the person with a different yard sign. They are not your enemy. They are a parent who worries about their kids' future, a worker trying to provide, a fellow American.

True strength isn't in attacking your perceived enemies. It's in courageously rejecting violence from anyone, toward anyone. It's incalling out hateful rhetoric in our own feeds and family gatherings.

Nate Wolff @alderwolff.bsky.social · Sep 11

But we are not powerless. We are not doomed to this cycle. The choice before us is stark: do we descend further into chaos, or do we choose a different path?

Nate Wolff @alderwolff.bsky.social · Sep 11

We are being fed a lie that the "other side" is not just wrong, but evil. A threat to be eliminated, not a neighbor to be persuaded. This dehumanizing rhetoric isn't just words on a screen; it has real-world, deadly consequences. It leads to threats, intimidation, and unthinkable acts of violence.

Nate Wolff @alderwolff.bsky.social · Sep 11

We are at a crossroads. In communities across the country, we see a dangerous trend: political hatred spilling over into real-world violence. This isn't just disagreement; it's a threat to the very fabric of our nation.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Apparently, the First Amendment is just a suggestion in America now.

At this point, it's become normal. I hate to say that, but it's unfortunately true.

Nate Wolff @alderwolff.bsky.social · Mar 4

So let’s stop asking, “How do we survive Trumpism?” and start demanding, “How do we *bury* it?” Here’s how: Out-organize their hate. Out-love their cruelty. Show up like your neighbor’s freedom depends on you—because it does.

You know Frosty went to hell, right? This is so insensitive to snow people. #snowball

Right now everyone should focus on building community, build your pods. Strengthen your networks. Covid and the busy lifestyles we all live have left us without. Right now we need each other.

If we pretend we aren't paying attention to him, he will be upset. Remember, Donald Trump is a child.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Nate Wolff @alderwolff.bsky.social · Jan 19

Oh? I'm sorry. Where's the bit about it being a national security threat? This entire thing is outrageous, and the people of America should be pissed!

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Nate Wolff @alderwolff.bsky.social · Jan 12

The tik tok ban is going to hurt a lot of people. It's depressing to see the yet additional stress and burden that has again been placed onto people.

#2025 is going to be a really long decade!

Nate Wolff @alderwolff.bsky.social · Jan 7

It's extremely concerning to see the direction social media platforms have decided to go. However, no matter the direction an opportunity awaits.

No matter how gloomy it is, no matter how rough. I'll be out there fighting for you because you're worth it. #fight #blue #harris
